My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a turning point USA college chapter. Go start a turning point you would say high school chapter.

Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers. All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. It is February 5th, just days before the big game. Blake, good morning. I'm so excited for the physically large game. I love it.

We've been finding different ways to say different things for certain reasons. A prominent national organization is very territorial about the names of its physically large games. And we're totally fine with that. We are very fine with that. I cannot wait for the All-American halftime show that'll be at approximately 8 p.m. Eastern right here on Real America's voice, Robin Parker Sig. Huge shout out to you, gentlemen. You have believed in us and in this vision from the very get-go. Real America's voice is going to be playing that live. And I think they've got some plans like before and after. Maybe I'll give him a call and see how I can help. It was briefly mentioned to me. So it's going to be huge. I've seen the rehearsal. I have actually seen some of it.

And it's awesome. It's like amazing, actually. I don't want to oversell it because, you know, then there's nowhere to go but down. But it's really good, really, really good. And it's beautiful, too. The team has just done a tremendous job. Another piece of news here, Erica Kirk was up with Governor Greg Gianforte. in the great state of Montana yesterday,

celebrating a new state partnership with that state to get a Club America chapter in every chapter, every high school, rather, across that state. So add that to the list of Texas, add that to the list of Tennessee, Florida, Indiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma. So we're making huge, huge moves there. So thank you to the governor, Greg Gianforte, who's known Charlie since he was 18. So that's a long time relationship there. Very proud, honored to be doing that. We've got thousands and thousands of high school chapters.

That's the way you think about the ice walkouts. You think about the indoctrination of the Grammys and Hollywood and all that stuff. And meanwhile, Turning Point, we've got All-American Half-Time show celebrating Faith Family Freedom, amazing content that made-for-TV concert experience that's good for the whole family, celebrating Faith, Family Freedom. And then we've got high school chapters. rolling out all across the country. So I like to think that Charlie would be smiling down on us, and I believe he is.

We want to get into some rather less positive news, unfortunately, for a few reasons. I actually think it has national importance, and that is the ad uptacion of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mom. So Savannah Guthrie is the host of the Today Show. She's been hosting that show since 2011. She was a co-host of the third hour chief legal correspondent later becoming a main co-anchor in 2012. She previously served as a White House correspondent for NBC News from 2008 to 2011. And what's kind of tragic about this is it ties into another current event in that she was supposed to be hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Italy.

So obviously that's not going to be happening because her mother Nancy, who lived in Tucson or lives in Tucson where she grew up where she grew up so just down the road from us here really really close to the border she was abducted from her house it looks like some some time on Sunday she failed to show up at church as she always did and that was so striking to those who are used to seeing her that they immediately reported her as missing and they went to check on her missing so it I when I heard this story, Blake. It's going to sound weird, but you were the first person I thought of. And the reason

I say that is because when Charlie was here and we were living through Biden's border invasion, we kept warning, you kept warning specifically about the rise of kidnappings in South America and how we were basically opening our doors to the same

culture here. It's a long-term thing is that as you, as the border between the U.S. and Latin America would break down, I feared and we don't know we just to clarify we don't know all the facts here so this is still speculative on our part but they do think a kidnapping here is very plausible uh they seem to have a ransom note of some kind they think it might be real uh i believe her pacemaker has stopped updating with her apple watch and so it seems like she's out of range of it uh so various reasons

they think it's real and a thing that this got us thinking of is in latin america uh a very common crime relative to the United States is kidnapping specifically for ransom. In Venezuela, for example, we have an image of this. We do throw that up. In Venezuela, under the Chavez government, they had a breakdown law and order. And so they started having thousands of kidnappings per year. That would be like having thousands in a nation the size of California, basically. It increased under Hugo Chavez by 1,716% in an increase of abduction.

And that's like going into 2011. I don't know what the rate was over the past. 15 years, but I think it remained high. And it's not just Venezuela. Mexico, I think in 2022 or 23, they had 100,000 missing people in a year. That's like a one and a thousand chance of going missing each year in Mexico. I think a lot of that gets

resolved eventually, but that's just the thing. It's such a regular industry. In the U.S., missing people are usually, like, it could be a custody dispute, or it could be someone kind of ran away and they just genuinely disappeared, or like, strategically,

You have kidnappings that unfortunately end in murders. But you don't see too much kidnapping for ransom as a business model. And I just need to be clear for accuracy sake. We don't know who took her. They don't have any leads. They have no suspects. I mean, this is, they are trying to get as much help from the community, ring cameras, all of those things.

The FBI has been called in. Cash Patel is in. The President Trump has spoken with Savannah Guthrie saying that, you know, the full force of the federal government law enforcement is going to be. they're helping. There's also been a rant. Yeah, there it is. There's the true social saying that the president spoke with Savannah Guthrie. I think that that's really touching. I'm sure Savannah Guthrie is a liberal person, probably not a supporter, but here in her time of need. And, you know, they've even gotten a ransom note that now they can't say that it's 100% with 100% certainty

that it is accurate, that is authentic. But there are some reasons to believe. that it probably is. Let's go ahead and play this from a local affiliate in Tucson, K-O-L-D-13 News. They are the ones that received the alleged ransom note tied to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. And the station's anchor, Mary Coleman here, tells CNN why she believes this might not be a hoax, 485. There are a few things that we can share as far as what the contents were. A lot of it is information that only someone who is holding her for ransom would know. know, some very sensitive information and things that people who weren't there when she was taken captive would know. So those are things that are concerning.

We immediately sent that information over to the sheriff's department, and they're, of course, looking into the legitimacy of it. I also included a dollar amount to deadline and, again, other specifics that only industries abductor might know. So that definitely raised some red flags. So just to repeat, it says the alleged ransom note included a dollar amount, a deadline, and again, other specifics that only Guthrie's abductor might know. And there is, we have an image, this is a blood splatter down, I believe, on the front porch of the home, which I've been told is sort of like low velocity blood splatter, so something like maybe from a bloody nose. and you know so it's as opposed to a gunshot or something like that that would be like more high velocity splatter

so the hope is is that she's still alive and that she is being held somewhere hopefully held for ransom so let's go through this timeline so saturday night january 31st 2026 at about 930 Nancy guthrie 84 arrives at her home in the catalina foothills area of tucson arizona So it's kind of outside of town, a little bit remote. She had spent the evening having dinner with family, including her daughter, Annie, who drove her home. It has believed Annie is the last person to have seen her mother. Sunday, February 1st, so that was late at night. 2 a.m. in the morning, Guthrie's pacemaker sinks with her Apple devices at home for the last time.

Investigators believe she has taken out of range around this time, 11 a.m. Nancy fails to arrive at regular church service, a member of which calls her family. family 1110 family members arrive at her home to find it empty 1215 uh pima county sheriff department receives a missing person called deputies respond and find nancy's car phone and while it's still inside the home blood drops are found leading outside toward the driveway the doorbell camera had been removed so that i think that's a really important detail there that the doorbell camera had been removed uh by monday uh sheriff chris nanos says he believes Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will approximately between 9.30 p.m. Saturday and

11 a.m. Sunday. So it's a pretty big window, although that pacemaker sinking with the Apple devices at 2 a.m. for the last time would probably indicate that it happened after 2 a.m. So the home is treated as a potential crime scene and homicide detectives are involved. And now you've got all of federal law enforcement. Christy Noam was doing some border wall visits down in the Tucson sector. So she's now been dispatched to help. Another key that I think is, you know, a lot of people, I haven't heard people bring up, but is that Customs and Border Patrol are involved, which, again, it could just be all hands on deck. We'll learn more.

We'll learn more. But we speculate on this for a reason because it is, just to cite other examples, is here in Phoenix, we've also seen a surge in sort of, we saw, especially during the Biden years, we saw the surge in international, burglary rings. We saw international fencing rings as it were. People would steal cars up in Scottsdale and they would be in Mexico in

six hours and you're never going to see him again after that. There is a real, there's an internationalization of crime in the United States that is entirely downstream of the fact that we have had a totally open border for so long and we hope this isn't a

manifestation of that but at least in my opinion it's hard for me to not immediately think of those kidnappings for ransom that have happened so often in Latin America. If you follow pro sports, a real thing is pro athletes who came from Venezuela or from the Dominican Republic, places like that, they have to worry about their family members getting kidnapped because they know they have a rich relative in the United States. Yeah, it's a real problem. And you think about Savannah Guthrie, obviously on the Today Show, huge, huge celebrity. And she just has this 80 octogenarian mother out kind of in the outskirts of Tucson.

sitting or living seemingly alone you know it was interesting my mother's reaction to this was that you know i'm not sure i would want my 80 plus year old mom to be living out alone and i was like well but she's that's independent she should have every right to do that and not live in fear you would never think about civilization is the ability for the weak the elderly the vulnerable to live in safety and yes that's a that's a that steadily goes away that's a great point if you do not uphold civilization. Well, it's interesting, too. We're going to have Senator Rick Scott on next, in the next segment. And, you know, Florida is a place where you mentioned Venezuelans. You mentioned all of this Latin American community that has gathered in Miami and in South Florida.

And, you know, they love it there because civilization, law and order, because they actually have a government that means business and isn't going to let crooks run the streets. Anyways, here's the video of Savannah Guthrie and her sister and her brother-in-law addressing the ransom note rumors and they speak directly to their mom, Nancy, 465. We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her.

We want to hear from you. And we are ready to listen. Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God's precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that even in this valley, he is with you. Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We love you, Mom. Yeah, that's really touching stuff.

I've heard it for the first time on a drive into the office, and it, it's emotional stuff. There's no doubt. You know, and I think, goodness, I think everything we've lived through, too, makes it harder for some reason. Because, you know, just these high-profile cases where you're forced to sort of be strong in a public sense like that, it's just, it's excruciating stuff. And so our hearts and prayers are with Savannah Guthrie and her family. and with Nancy, her mom. We pray that she's okay. And, man, so the couple more clips here.

This is Christy Nome saying DHS is assisting with the search for Nancy Gotth, 466. They have asked us to help with some of our K-9 teams, and CBP has partnered with the other agencies involved. But we're all just heart-sick about this and hope she's found soon and that she's found safely and that we can get to the bottom of what really happened. And it looks like the search for Nancy has picked up, backup at Guthrie's house.

So I don't know if they're sweeping for more details here or more clues, 464. The sheriff's department announced yesterday that they had cleared the crime scene at Nancy Guthrie's home and handed it back to the Guthrie family. Well, just a short time ago, a whole bunch of sheriff's deputies showed up there, along with border patrol agents, with dogs,

and members of the FBI. And they put the tape back around that house, sealing it off. And we believe that there is a search ongoing in part of the area around the back of that property right now. We don't know exactly what they're all looking for. But certainly, there is suddenly very intense activity. back at Nancy Guthrie's house. So that's an interesting thing where they clear the house, they give it back to the family,

and then they move back in and tape it all off. So interesting. I want to show this image, though, kind of back to your earlier point. 492, this is a pick of a map of Tucson's proximity to the border and corresponding border wall. So if you look at this map, the red portions of it are finished wall, new border wall from President Trump. Orange are older border wall. Yellow is like vehicle fence. Green is damage border wall. So it's a pretty, I mean, stretches into New Mexico. A lot of that land where there isn't border wall is either very second priority border wall area, very remote, or it's mountainous. But I do

believe the plan is to complete it all the way through. So just something to keep in mind as we talk about that story. If you're like me and are tired of random stuff getting thrown into your supplements, like artificial colors and sugars, you probably would love to learn more about phytonutrition. Phytonutrients are the naturally occurring plant nutrients found in whole foods. It's what gives them their color, their taste, their smell. The presence of these three things is a surefire sign that you're getting real phytonutrients. Balance of Nature's whole health system supplements are a value bundle that includes their

fruits and veggies and fiber and spice supplements, which give you 47 different ingredients of fruits, vegetables, spices, and fibers, and all of the naturally occurring phytonutrients that come with them every single day. Balance of Nature takes produce through a specialized vacuum-cold process that stabilizes the ingredients. They are then powdered and packaged with no binders, no fillers, no flow agents. So, whether you've been on the fence for a long time or it's the first time you're even hearing about them, I recommend that you go to balance of nature.com and order the whole health system supplements as a preferred customer today. That's balance of nature.com. All right. Senator Rick Scott, I got to start with a question here that I did not prep you

for, but we were just covering the Savannah Guthrie. Her mom, Nancy, has been abducted in Tucson, Arizona. And it reminded me of a lot of conversations Blake here had with Charlie. Charlie mentioned it on the show a couple times that when you have an open border, you're going to have a rise in these abductions because it's very South American, it's very Mexican, like, it's a cultural phenomenon in south, south of the border. Now, you are a senator and formerly the governor of the state of Florida where you have a lot of Latin Americans, a lot of Venezuelans, Cubans, you know, is this something that you see there? Now, to be fair, we don't know who did this, but is this something that you guys have to wrestle with in Florida, just with the types of

populations that have moved in? Well, I mean, we always, we're always cautious. But we have great sheriff's departments. You know, we great police departments. We don't have sanctuary cities in Florida. And we've got tough enforcement laws. So if you're convicted in Florida, you have to serve 85% of your sentence. And so there was, I saw something on what CNN a couple years ago and they said, oh, yeah, we don't commit a crime in Florida because they put you in jail.

We just go down there to party. And I think I think what's happened around our country is people know where to commit the crimes. You know, they know where to go. So, but no, we don't have, you know, first off, you're right, you know, a lot of the kidnappings, it's sort of common in Latin America. And, you know, the nice thing is to come to our state, you know, we don't have it, you know, we got a lot of water between us in that. So we haven't had the same issues that they've had in some other places. And I think the other thing, we're not a sanctuary city and we have tough enforcement laws. Yeah.

Well, our hearts and prayers are with the Guthrie family. It's really just a terrible story. And their video they released is just heartbreaking. And so we are praying for Nancy Guthrie that she would be reunited with her family. Hopefully she's safe and well. I want to turn our attention, Senator, to the Save Act. Now, there was a clip yesterday. I believe our team is pooling it.

I'm not sure if we have it yet. We do. So this is Leader Thune. And he's talking about the pushback. fact that he's getting from Democrats on the Save Act in the Senate 495. Their political basis is demanding they fight with anything that President Trump wants. It is Trump derangement syndrome. It is on steroids around here these days.

And even logical, commonsensical things like ensuring that if you're going to vote in an American election, you ought to be an American citizen, they're going to just instinctively oppose. So that's what we're up against. So no mention there, Senator, of, you know, maybe the, getting rid of the zombie filibuster, as Senator Lee has called it. There's no talk of putting it in a reconciliation bill. Did not inspire a lot of confidence for me. The floor is yours.

What's the status of this highly popular policy? Well, we're going to get a past. I don't know how we're going to get it done. But Senator Mike Lee and I are focused on this every day. A lot of our friends in the House are focused on this. You have to have an ID to go on an airplane. You ought to have an idea to vote. You know, I'd have to, you should be able to register to vote if you're, you know, you can't prove your citizenship.

I can't vote. I mean, I can't vote. I wouldn't vote from Macron in France or Starmor in the UK, but I don't get to vote for them. So you can get to vote for if you're illegal. We have to use the talking filibuster. It's not changing the rules. It's enforcing the rules. It's just saying if you want to, if you want to stop, if you want to slow down the process, you can go talk.

But this idea that you don't have to talk and we have to wait for 60 votes to show up, is wrong. So we're going to, you know, we're going to keep talking about it. You saw the president posted about it last night that if you, if the Democrats, you know, want to slow something down, you're going to have to talk on the floor, but we have got to get things passed that are good for this country. We've got to, you know, we've got to secure a border. We've got to get Homeland Security funded. We've got to get ICE funded. We've got to pass the Save America Act. There's a lot of things like that. And we, if we, you know, if the Democrats are not going to work with us, then we have to use the talking filibuster to get it done. Yeah. So let's go

into what the talking filibuster is. And we had Senator Lee kind of when he first floated this idea on the show talking about it. It sounds pretty straightforward. Yeah, but, but, you know, but, but, but take a step back. You know, we, we, we think of 60 votes to break cloture is, it's kind of like, we just assume you need 60 votes to do anything in the Senate. That's not really true. Obviously, we have reconciliation, but when you actually look at the history, it started in like 1917 when they really kind of started using this, but it was used very sparingly. But in our modern era, it's, we just think 60 votes. You've got to have 60 votes. And basically in our divided world, we can't get 60 votes on anything. Explain to the audience what it's like in the Senate. What's the work around? How do you get this done?

Is there support to get rid of this zombie filibuster? The floor is yours, sir. Well, number one, if this is important to you, you need to call your senator, let them know that the Save America Act, any other bill you think is important, has to get passed, and you've got to use the talking filibuster to get it done. So all we're going to do is require the Democrats to do what they should do. The filibuster was simply a decision by the Senate to say, okay, at some period of time, we're going to stop talking and we're going to vote. I think Clarence Thomas got two votes. But they didn't use the filibuster process to prevent him from ever having any vote. So the bottom line is that we've got to, you know, do our job.

If we want to talk, if you want to go talk, have out it. But when you're done talking, we are going to vote. And it's going to take 50 votes plus the vice president to pass legislation or pass noms. That's what we have to do. Now, the noms we've already changed because the Democrats wouldn't block everything. So, and this is just they don't want Trump to get anything done. They want, you know, right now, they want to shut down the government. They don't want, they don't want a good economy.

me. So we have got it, we have to do this. And by the way, if we want to save this country, we've got to make sure people feel comfortable that our elections are fair. I mean, if, I mean, just the concept that you don't have to show your ID to vote is foreign. Americans, believe it, Republicans, Democrats, we all believe you have to do this. And so that's what we're, it's, it's, we're going to get this done. I'm going to keep fighting. I know Senator Lee's going to keep fighting to get this done. The president is on board, right? He knows we have to use the talking filibuster to get his agenda done. So, so that's your word to the audience is that this will get done. Do you believe that Senator Thune is ready for that type of battle? Well, we haven't done it

yet. So I tell everybody, the way, the way I think DC works is until it happened, be hopeful, but take action. So what I would do is I would call everybody, every single, and say, look, you have got to get the Save America out past. If you can't get Democrats, which they're not going to help us, then you've got to do it through the talking filibuster. And we can. Is it a pain? It's a pain of the rear, right?

But so what? You know, this is a full-time job that we ought to be busting about every day for the American people. This is a very important piece of legislation that's going to save this country. Yeah, I mean, I completely agree. But by the way, it's just massively popular. This is the wild thing. Even Democrats' own voters support it.

It's worth reiterating. Let's play the clip again. Even, by the way, black Americans voted. This is their big pushback. It's Jim Crow 2.0, 355. Take a look here. Favorite photo ID to vote. 85% of white people favorite.

82% of Latino. 76% of black Americans favorite. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial. controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nikki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote. So something that would be none.

So, you know, I guess they're just going with, you know, black people and married women are too dumb to get voter ID and, you know, Republicans are racist. No, they want fraud. They want, no, Andrew, you're being too nice. The Democrats know they can't win with their policies. this is they want fraud to win. I love it when you tell me I'm being too nice. This is great. Yes, continue. I totally agree. The only explanation is they want to cheat. That's the only thing that they...

That's it. That's the only explanation. I, so I'm... By the way, kill the zombie filibuster and make them go on the floor and actually defend the indefensible. Make them do it. Yeah. No.

Yeah. I mean, look, they want to defund ICE. Okay? They don't care about the American public. Look, Think about how could you want to defund ICE when you have stories of Lake and Riley or Jocelyn Ngari or Rachel Moran? Or you hear the stories of these little girls being raped. And then you're saying you don't want ICE to have the ability to get rid of these criminals? It's a crazy thing in the world.

No, and Senator, I mean, listen, again, I just want to reiterate out of abundance of caution, we do not know who abducted Nancy Guthrie. We don't. But if we find out, that it was cartel-related or if it was, you know, people that shouldn't be in this country. It's going to add a really important wrinkle to this. Really quick question for you, Senator, on the DHS funding. Where do we stand?

Nowhere. I mean, they're not getting funded. I mean, you know, this is, I mean, the Democrats, they want to shut down this stuff. They want to destroy the Trump presidency. They don't, they don't care about all the crime that come in this country. They don't care. I mean, they are in for, the Democrats are in for, open borders with criminals and gangs.

They're all okay with that. Look, there's some wonderful people who want to come in this country. Come in legally as we have a process for that, and we can improve that. But no, the Democrats will not fund ICE. Their proposals make no sense, right? So they don't ask local law enforcement to do these things. Why are they asking ICE to do it? Senator, you know, listen, we've got Leader Thune.

He's the leader of the majority in the Senate. we backed you to be a leader. And so I'm just going to hang our hat on your assurance that you're going to get this done because I believe it is existential to get in the SAVE Act pass, the future of this country. You know, we had Coach Tuberville on saying that, you know, the Republic as we know it could be over if we don't get election integrity. Basic measures like an ID. Thank you for fighting. We're going to take your word to the bank and we believe you can do it.

Get the SAVAC pass. We'll talk to you soon. Go bye. Hi, folks. Andrew Colvette here. I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Y Reefi. You've probably been hearing me talk about Y Refi for some time now. We are all in with these guys. If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're behind on your payments. Maybe you're even in default. You don't have to live in this nightmare

anymore. Y refi will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay. They tailor each loan individually, they can save you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back. We go to campuses all over America and we see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt. Many of them don't even know how much they owe. Why Refi can help. Just go to yrefi.com. That's the letter why then refi.com and remember, YREFI doesn't care what your credit score is. Just go to why refi.com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you. The Olympics. Well, we have to talk about the Olympics because, among other things, Charlie loved the Olympics. 494. So my best memories growing up were watching the Olympics and cheering for the country I love.

I'm a sucker for the Olympics. What it should be, Jack, is an appreciation of excellence in people that really harness their craft and what country is able to achieve that excellence collectively, if you will, in the best way. And I mean, collectively in the most non-communistic, non-comala Harris way possible. Charlie loved the Olympics. He loved the Olympics. He loved all things. that were America competing for America. He even loved the World Cup, which I always hate it on because I hate soccer, and I don't want soccer to be coming. Trump is very excited about the World Cup. He is.

He loved to compete. I didn't like the World Cup because I'm like, it's soccer. We can't allow soccer to get a foothold in America. And if we won the World Cup, that would let it happen. Well, I will tell you, the one bit of soccer that I enjoy watching is the World Cup. I can't help it. Don't do this. Because I'm like Charlie.

I want America to win. Vice President Vance has been arriving. He's in Milan to greet the Team USA. You also got the whole Vance family is arriving in Italy. They post for a photo with Team USA. By the way, I saw the clips of JD with the Olympians. And legitimately he seems the most excited. I've seen him in a long time.

Excuse me. Like legitimately geeking out on being with them and the way he was talking about him. So, but of course there, you know, is some controversy. Apparently it was called the ice house. Yeah, they're mad that they call the ice house because it's winter. But then now ice is a bad word. We can't have that associated with things. So they had to change it to the winter house.

Oh, boy. Which is just very cringe. But there's an even more revealing thing. And I think this, it shows how we really have not defeated the woke abomination that's been around forever. It's still lurking, always wants to jump back. This is an Associated Press news report on the extremely pressing fact that Sweden has sent a Winter Olympics team to the Winter Olympics, and they are too Swedish. 463. Immigration from Africa and the Middle East is changing the demographics of Europe's top winter sports countries.

But that hasn't really translated to their largely white rosters heading to the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. For instance, Team Sweden is almost entirely made up of ethnically Swedish athletes, which is hardly a reflection of the country. country's diversity, as Sweden has welcomed historic numbers of asylum seekers in recent decades. Experts also believe that more needs to be done by winter sports to improve accessibility, specifically for immigrants and underserved communities. Experts. Experts. What experts?

Experts in what? Experts in what? Experts in what? So I did not see that. Experts say more needs to be done to improve accessibility. So what's hilarious about this? Okay. You get immigrants from Africa.

I'm just asking questions here. Is there a lot of snow in Africa? I guess there's Mount Kilimanjaro. I think. But is that like full of like bobsleds and ski resorts? I've not heard about that. So do you think immigrants, refugees from warmer climates moving to Sweden are going to be good skiers? Do you think they're going to be good ice skaters?

Do you think they're going to be good curlers? Is there a lot of curling in Africa that I am unaware of in the Middle East? That is the dumbest video I have seen in a really long time. It's so bad. Experts weigh in. Experts. And it's too ethnically Swedish. The experts aren't remaining silent, Andrew.

The experts are saying a thing. This is so dumb. Like, think about how dumb this is. I'm literally, okay, we have a lot of dumb stuff in America. We have Jasmine Crockett. We have Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We have Ilhan Omar. We've got dumb for days.

That was truly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. That was stupid. That was really stupid. Okay. So, sorry, the team says I missed some stuff that I need to play on this Ice House story. So we're going to revisit the Ice House. That is now the Winter House. This is Amber Glenn, figure skater on Team USA,

changing the name of the Olympic venue from Ice House to Winterhouse, 490. If something as simple as changing a name can do anything to make someone feel more comfortable, it's really unfortunate that the term ice as an ice skating. Like, I'm here on this sheet of ice and saying that it's kind of like, oh, disheartening that something so negative has taken, that name from us. But that is something so minute in comparison

to the struggles and the atrocities that people are facing back home. And my hearts are really with the people back in the U.S. Your hearts. Attrocities? Her hearts are with them. Okay. So that the Sweden video was the dumbest thing I'd seen in a long time.

That actually might be dumber. So in the words of the great Laura Ingram, shut up and dribble. Okay. I will root for you. I will root for you Team USA, but now I'm going to do it through grit teeth. I'm going to do it through begrudgingly because I just now I know how dumb some of you are. Just shut up and dribble. Shut up and skate. Nobody stole the word ice from you. They're saving American lives. You should say thank you. God bless our law enforcement officers. And, you know,

thanks for your service. That's what you say. And you don't, you don't do that. Whatever that was, Amber Glenn. Dear Lord. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliekirk.com.
