Starting point is 00:00:00 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 much.
Starting point is 00:00:30 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.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Here I am. Lord mused me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold. leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family,
Starting point is 00:01:06 friends, and viewers. All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm Andrew Colvin, executive producer of this show. I'm joined here on set in D.C. No, we did not change the Charlie Kirk set. This happened last time. We did not change the set. But I am joined here by Sean Davis,
Starting point is 00:01:24 CEO and co-founder of the Federalist, and Lomez, Jonathan Keeperman, on my right here in D.C. And then Blake Neff is joining us from Phoenix. Blake, are you there? That is where the normal studio is. We can prove that it does still exist. It is still, hasn't been bulldozed, hasn't been changed.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yeah. Chair is there. No panic. No panic in the emails, please. We're still here. This was actually funny. You guys would appreciate this. Last time Blake and I, and I think Jack was with us, Poso, we were here.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I mean our inbox was like inundated with like people like I can't believe you changed the set we're like no we just we just were visiting it was during the medal ceremony the last time we were here but thanks to the Real America's voice team for making this studio available to us gentlemen there's a lot going on we're in the middle of a shutdown we were actually just talking about how our flights got delayed because of the air traffic controller you know holds or whatever because there's less air traffic controllers in the air there's a lot going on that is is really important, and we want to get to it. But, you know, there was a moment last night at the Patriot Awards
Starting point is 00:02:35 where Erica Kirk received the first ever Charlie Kirk Legacy Award. And I think this is one of the, she's just been so courageous. You guys, I don't have to tell you about all the distractions and all of the conspiracies and all of the things that could distract and really derail a lesser human. But she's just really been so strong and so gracious and so, I don't know, steady in the midst of this unbelievable situation that nobody should ever have to be. And I'm curious about your guys' POV just from the outside watching as, you know, she's done her first interview now. She's accepting awards and she's doing a phenomenal job, in my opinion. But what is it like for you guys?
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, I mean, I can remember going back to September 10th and, you know, experiencing this with my own wife, who I love, I love you, wherever you are. However, I couldn't imagine her just stepping into a role like this and just sort of like seamlessly filling into the enormous shoes of Charlie and not just getting up on stage and just mouthing the right words, but really embodying Charlie's spirit in a way that's almost uncanny. Like his ability to bring people together, this sort of just strength of purpose that comes with everything she does. And so it's been a really sort of remarkable thing to observe from the outside. And I think, you know, of course, this is a testament to Charlie as well. He obviously has really good taste. And he picked a winner. Well, Sean, I'm going to get to you in Blake here.
Starting point is 00:04:05 But 409 is basically Jesse Waters, who got the first exclusive interview with her saying the same thing, 409. You know, the famous quote behind every great man is a great woman. We're now realizing how great Charlie was by seeing how great Eric. is. Erica has been able to take hope from grief. She didn't ask for this mission. She accepted this mission. This was not something she wanted, but this is something she's now duty-bound to do. Charlie's mission was to save Western civilization, and that is now her mission. John? Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about this since September 10th, and I've always wondered, watching people be martyred overseas.
Starting point is 00:04:50 When you see people, they've got the bags over their head, they're lined up, and you wonder, how do they have the strength to go through what they know they're about to go through? And I'm convinced it's grace from the Holy Spirit in the moment that he knows we need it. I watch Erica, and I think to myself, there's no way she does this without the Holy Spirit.
Starting point is 00:05:10 She has been given so much grace and so much courage, not to take anything away from her personally, but there's no way any of us could manage that on our own. There's no way any human on their own power could handle that grief and that burden. And to go out there and see her do it, I think it's just absolutely amazing. Let's go ahead and play a clip then from Erica at this event. Let's go ahead and play 407. This whole room feels it.
Starting point is 00:05:36 This whole nation feels the spiritual warfare. But Charlie would say that's how you know you're over the mark. when you feel it, when the enemy is there. That's how you know you're doing the Lord's work, and that's how you know you're defending truth. And that was whose true barometer was when he would feel that spiritual warfare. And I watched him pour every ounce of himself
Starting point is 00:06:03 into the students, into raising up the most courageous generation, and inspiring so many people, to stand firm in faith and to love this country. Yeah, I mean, that really is, you know, when you talk about spiritual warfare, you know, I was talking about Lomas, Jonathan Kieberman, still not, we're still haven't settled on how we're going to It can be either one. Maybe J-Lo?
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jonathan Lomas. You know, but this feeling of spiritual warfare is really palpable right now. And it's hard to explain. I think a lot of people in our audience feel it. If you just log on to social media for like two seconds, you'll see it. Yeah. You know, there is a churning happening right now.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And it's impossible to know where it's going to settle out. But I think we felt it before Charlie was assassinated. And then as soon as Charlie was assassinated, it's like there was this moment of unity and sort of beauty, really. And I think in the last couple weeks, people have really come to see that we are in a time of churning and testing. Both as a movement as a country. Well, I think for me anyway, in Charlie's absence, it was only in the last couple of months that I came to realize just what a sort of central figure
Starting point is 00:07:26 of gravity he was holding this whole coalition together. And in his absence, you know, you do see sort of the barbarians at the gate. You see people and forces sort of coming into this coalition and using sort of the vacuum that was created by Charlie's untimely death to fill it with. you know, different kinds of ideas and different sort of self-interested agendas that could derail what was a really strong thing and what still is, but is going to require, I think, everybody to sort of take a cue from Erica and try to embody this unifying spirit that Charlie had. And so I think that's the task before us here. You know, Blake, I think this is a good time to actually throw it to you because you've been sounding off. I've been looking at your Twitter, actually. And you have really emerged, in my opinion, and I don't mean to make you embarrassed here,
Starting point is 00:08:19 but as a voice of common sense and a strong, forceful voice, I'm super grateful for it, actually. We had to encourage Blake to start tweeting. But what's your take on this? You forced me to start tweeting. I want to be on the record for that. Well, I knew how great you would be at it. I mean, honestly, you are a lot of things, Blake, but you have a moral clarity that is profound. So final thoughts to you in this segment.
Starting point is 00:08:44 It's just, yeah, it's been a very trying time for a lot of people. It would be trying no matter what happened, but just it really, it makes you appreciate how many different things can stress you out through a difficult moment because you have the obvious loss of Charlie and then you have, you have the good problems. Like how do you manage the outpouring of support, love, how do you make sure that what happened to him is, you know, the surge of spiritual. energy. Make sure that's not wasted. Make sure his martyrdom is not, you know, is not just this tragedy with no upside to it. But then, you know, the follow-ons, you know, you have the vicious people who try to come at whatever the big topic is. You have the kind of oddballs who just invent bizarre things and then get obsessed with them and harass you. You have to really maintain, we have to work on maintaining your composure through difficult periods. And I think all of us
Starting point is 00:09:39 have learned how to do that, but it's a real challenge. And Erica, most of all. Hey, everybody. This is Andrew Colvette, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show. Berna is proud to continue supporting Charlie Kirk's mission and the important work of Turning Point USA. Because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins with protecting themselves, their families, and their communities. The Berna, less lethal launcher looks like a firearm, but it isn't one. It fires powerful, chemical, irritant, and kinetic projectiles that can stop a threat in its tracks, giving you the time and space you need to get to safety. And now you can hear from Charlie in his own words.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Burna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the consequences of using lethal measures. It's legal in all 50 states requires no background checks and over 500,000 units are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement. Burna can be shipped directly to your door. I've personally tested the Burna pistol and can vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use. Be prepared, be confident, be safe. Go to Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com. That's burna.com. see why tens of thousands of Americans are choosing Berna for peace of mind.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I'm Andrew Colvette, joined by Sean Davis and Lomas, aka Jonathan Keeperman, passage press, passage dot press. Passage. That's right. Great publishing company, great news analysis, commentary. The Federalist is one of the best guys. You've got to check out both of these guys work. Truly important now.
Starting point is 00:11:10 So you've got a new show coming out, a podcast with Christopher. Rufo called. The great Christopher Rufo. And you're talking about this psychodrama on the right. Yeah. And I think this is, I think like in the long run, this is actually, I think, you know, yes, I said something on Twitter yesterday that that what God is unleashed, man cannot stop. And that doesn't matter if it's people that we perceive as conservatives or liberals or whatever. I really believe that what God is unleashed in Charlie's assassination, his martyrdom, that that man cannot stop. It will. take its course. The gospel will march forward. Um, the truth will march forward. And I think that's what makes what Erica, uh, her steady hand, her grace and her courage makes it even more poignant. But Sean, you said something that you wake up every morning and you're like, you're like, let's go, let's go. And I, and I were like, sometimes we just look at the internet. We're like, um, you know, no thanks. Uh, so I, but where does that come from in you? And tell us, tell us more. We need it. Yeah, yeah, no. I'm jacked up for the fight, man.
Starting point is 00:12:13 And I don't think I've ever felt more energized than in the wake of Charlie being killed. Because never before has it been so clear what the stakes are. It's good versus evil, period. And here's the thing. Here's the thing that should encourage everyone. We are going to win. We're going to win because we are behind a God who doesn't lose. So when you know that, when you know that you're on God's side, that his army is going to win,
Starting point is 00:12:38 that the death's been paid, that death has been destroyed forever, why on earth would you not be totally jacked up and encouraged? Like, it's worth remembering what discouragement is. Just think about the word. It's the lack of courage. So being discouraged is actually sinful. Being despondent is sinful. It's okay to be sad.
Starting point is 00:12:57 It's okay to mourn. We should never be discouraged because God has defeated everything. Christ has defeated death. What on earth do we have to worry about? All he's asking us to do is go forward and fight the battle that he's already set out for us. It's like, man, pick up your sword, pick up your sword. pick up your book, your pin, whatever it is, and, like, get jacked up and get to it. Well, we do have some good news, and this is for Blake.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Pelosi is retiring. She is not going to seek re-election. So, sorry, when you just said evil has been defeated and all this stuff. I just thought it was a good segue. Blake, what do we make of Pelosi finally hanging up her spurs for whatever they are? She's a very symbolic figure of a lot of trends in American life, and we should see her off properly. So, you know, first of all, she's leaving office at 85 years old. So she perfectly represents gerontocracy. She's been, let me check how long she's been a representative
Starting point is 00:13:50 from California since 1987, which I have bad news is nearly 40 years ago for all of you who are around my age. And she, you know, was, she first became Speaker of the House back in 2007, nearly 20 years ago, had two separate stints at it. And beyond that, she represents a lot of things. She represents the total political invincibility of the urban Democrat machine. She represented San Francisco itself, which has become this unlivable, you know, homeless-infested, drug-infested, feces-encrusted disaster, yet can never seemingly really change and still costs a gazillion dollars. It's sort of this disaster piece of a city. And she represents other things. You know, a lot of people have been pointing towards her stock returns that she, I think she beat the market by about 600% in her investments over the years.
Starting point is 00:14:46 And it's sort of like, no one never really stops that from happening. No one seems to be interested in banning that. It's almost like a giant shrug from, you know, the American governing class that she's able to do that. And also just what she represents more broadly for the Democrats. She was born. she's kind of this like this fossil from the 60s we literally have photos of her hanging out
Starting point is 00:15:11 with John F. Kennedy and she oversaw this total transformation of America that as we're going to see when we show that British veteran up ahead like this transformation of the West this transformation of America that almost everyone recognizes
Starting point is 00:15:24 is in a negative direction where they had this incredibly world historically successful country and society and they sort of gave it away for stock market returns and cheap trinkets and ethnic food? Gomez.
Starting point is 00:15:39 You know, can I say something controversial here? I would hope so. Well, I agree with everything Blake says. I also have a kind of grudging respect for her because she also represents a kind of administrative vigor and competence that I think is at least something that we could try to emulate. I mean, she kept together this like coalition of the fringes for years. And, you know, I think what comes down.
Starting point is 00:16:05 next for the Democrats is far worse than anything Nancy Pelosi did. It's complete chaos. I say the same thing about Gavin Newsom, which people get so mad at me. I'm like, listen, is somebody who's lived in California. Gavin Newsom is like a puppy dog compared to what's waiting in the wings. So be careful what you wish for. So there was a clip here that is going viral. And Blake is, I know, excited to chime in on this as well back in Phoenix. So there, so there's a hundred-year-old military veteran from the U.K. And this clip was posted eight hours ago on Good Morning Britain. And basically, you know, we talked about Nancy Pelosi.
Starting point is 00:16:46 She was born 15 years after this gentleman was born. So the crossover has been, you know, extreme. And we talk about how we have squandered so much of what we, the war bounty after World War II, defeated fascism and then only to give it away as Blake said for you know cheap trinkets and ethnic food and you know a GDP and a skyrocketing deficit and debt and so and this is a this is a theme that we've seen across the west as we've become more unchurched as we've become more multicultural as we've seen our own culture degrade and corrode and the cultural cohesion really strained to the max and so this powerful clip from this this hundred-year-old gentleman
Starting point is 00:17:30 You could tell he's not saying this in a mean spirit. And I think that's what makes it so striking. So let's go ahead and play it, 433. A country of tonight. No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result that it is now. What we fought for, and what we fought for was our freedom. We find that even now it's downside worse than what it was when I've fought for it.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Oh, Alec, I'm sorry you feel like that because I want you to know that all the generations that have come since, including me and my children, are so grateful for your bravery and all that for service personnel. And it's our job now, isn't it, to make it the country that you've fought for. You absolutely fought for. And we will do.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I'm so wonderful to know there are people like you that can spread the word around. We will do. Another generation. The sacrifice wasn't worth what we've gotten from it, you know? It's really powerful. There's another book. I don't remember the name off the top of my head.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Lomas might remember to tell me if you do. It was a book. It probably came out like 30 years ago or so when there were more veterans still alive in Britain. And it was a similar thing, asking them how they felt about British society. And it came out over and over again that they said, It just, it felt like the sacrifices weren't worth it because when they thought of the country they'd fought for, they fought for, you know, they thought they thought they were fighting for Christian civilization, for the English people, for Britain as this free society of, you know, that gave us all those constitutional liberties we care about as a British descended country, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, you know, the nature of parliament and all of that. And then they just saw it get thrown away. they saw their country, you know, get rid of free enterprise and become one of the sort of most socialist, most over-regulated, and as a result, most inefficient and, like, low-growth countries, they massively roll back freedom of speech.
Starting point is 00:19:41 You're now far more likely to get arrested for saying something offensive on the internet in Britain than you are in the People's Republic of China. you're far more likely to get in trouble for, you know, some perceived, like, racist offense or homophobic offense there than you are in a bunch of supposedly more authoritarian countries. And on top of that, they see their leaders just openly saying British people deserve to be replaced that there's no such thing as an English people or a British people. And they don't have a right to have a country that is presumptively their own. and it's so depressing, frankly, that this guy had to live long enough to see it become as bad as it did. I think he's realizing, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:26 he would have been luckier if he died a lot younger than he's living to be now. I think also for me, this puts into perspective what we're doing here, okay? Like we've been talking about a lot of this like petty squabbling going on on the right and you hear someone like this and you've got to take a step back
Starting point is 00:20:42 and realize these are like civilizational stakes here and we've got to remember who the, enemy is and where the real forces of sort of decay and degradation are coming from. And I hope, like, the lesson for me would be, okay, we owe it to people like this, the memories of people like this to preserve this civilization they fought for. And we got to refocus on what's really important here. You know, we have like a situation in Minnesota with like this, you know, negotiating a kind of like Somalian ethnic squabbling, okay, over who's going to be. the mayor of Minneapolis and you have you know people trying to castrate children and stuff and
Starting point is 00:21:23 you go okay that's that's where the fight is can we refocus on the things that matters and and get away from a lot of these trivial trivialities that frankly are just distracting us from that I want to I want to flag that in case people don't know what you're talking about because it's so great it's very quick you mentioned the Somali ethnic squabbles so this is getting reported on X that allegedly a significant number of Somalis in Minneapolis did not vote for Omar Fatay the Somali candidate for mayor because he is apparently part of the Darud clan rather than the Hawieyeye clan
Starting point is 00:21:53 in Somali culture and they are hostile to each other they don't like each other. Allegedly the Ilhan Omar is also a member of the Darud clan so the Hawieyes also don't like Ilhan Omar over that the remark I said was you know imagine Ben Franklin saying you know
Starting point is 00:22:12 a nation of never ending ethnic squabbles from the third world if you can keep it. Well, yeah, it's true. When you import the third world, you import every third world, tribal, clan-based, war,
Starting point is 00:22:29 grievousness. You're bringing in all their battles and all their ancient hatred and they're fighting it out in your streets. This is the Charlie Kirk Show. We are all about saving babies with preborn.
Starting point is 00:22:44 There are 24,000, 836 kindergartners starting school this month who would not be alive if it hadn't been for what preborn did in 2019. That's how many babies were saved that year because of gifts of ultrasounds from people just like you in this audience. When a woman considering abortion sees her baby on that ultrasound and hears that baby's heartbeat, it doubles, let me repeat, it doubles the chance that she will choose life. $140 gives $5,000. mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies. $280 can save 10 babies and just $28 a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day. A $15,000 gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will
Starting point is 00:23:31 save babies' lives for years and years to come. Charlie and Erica love preborn. Charlie loved it so much. He believed in it so much. He was a donor. Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds, it's just a phone call or a click away. Join me now. Saving babies. Call 833. 850229 or click on the preborn banner at charliekirk.com today you know it is sort of like an expression that blake uses sometimes we talk about advanced civilizational tech right like monogamy is one of these really powerful civilizational technologies that tends to make men more productive we focus on building our families our businesses our our home life as opposed to you know warring against this warlord that's got 30. wives and we're sort of aimless and and wifeless and childless. And so it tends to be this really amazing thing for society, but there's another thing about Western civilization that is so
Starting point is 00:24:27 profoundly amazing, and that is that we've managed in many ways, not perfectly, obviously. The Scots and the picks and the Welsh and the English would tell you that it's not perfect, certainly. But this binding together under constitutional systems and republics and putting sectarian and clannish behavior behind us. And really, what's interesting, and it has to be a bigger question, because I think you have to know the root cause, if you're going to solve it, is why in
Starting point is 00:24:58 the West, specifically the English-speaking West, did we decide that it was not okay to be proud of ourselves, to be proud of our national identity? Where did that happen? When did it happen? And what is the root cause? Because in some ways, you could define MAGA is a resurgence of national pride. and people that have at least identified that they want to be proud of their own nation. I think it's, I think we have lost the courage, we have lost the confidence to simply say, straightforwardly, our way of life is better than other ways of life. And when people come here, they need to assimilate into our better way of life. It's not just that it's different.
Starting point is 00:25:37 The way of life we have here in the West is better. And it's okay to say that. We need to have the confidence to be able to say that. And I think, you know, we've lost the ability to. just explicitly make that claim. And you don't even really have to make the claim. You just have to point out the contrast. American culture is superior to Somali culture.
Starting point is 00:25:56 You know how we know? Because look at there and look at here. It's better here. It's why everyone's coming here. They're coming here because they know it's better. Well, I have one note on that. And Blake, I'd love for you to react to this clip. This is an Islamic Imam,
Starting point is 00:26:10 and he's explaining how they plan on taking over America. Play cut 279. Let's work towards that. Let's work towards a Muslim mayor. Next election that comes in, nominate people for the school board of education. Next election that comes here, nominate people for the local township. Begin the demographics change. People converted.
Starting point is 00:26:31 There's a big, huge conversion going on in this time. Where are the converts? They just convert and they're gone in the wilderness. The other thing, children. Muslims have the highest population. Average, they did this. Pew Foundation did a research study, Pew Foundation. and they said that Muslim household average is 3.4 child per family.
Starting point is 00:26:52 The white American has one child per family. We're already a beating the march because these are voters. These are not just babies being born in hospital. These are voters. That's the way a politician looks at it. Yeah, so Blake, I mean, what Sean said is they come here because it's better. I think that's true of past waves. No, they're coming for different reasons now.
Starting point is 00:27:11 They come here because it is better, but that does not mean like they aspire to. to the culture that made it better. They also can just say, you are a giant pile of money. You are a dumb rube that I can take advantage of. And like, we've seen that, for example, with the Somali community. Like, they remain quite clannish in the Minneapolis area, not just their literal clans, but, like, they're sort of closed off. You remember the justification for Ilhan Omar.
Starting point is 00:27:36 The defense of her marrying her brother included the fact that when she first got married, she did not get married under any governmental system. It was only within their internal religious system. and they're well known for having pretty elaborate operations to skim government money in sinister ways because they don't, a lot of them just don't really see it as any sort of moral offense. Like, oh, this is a giant spigot of government money and we can take it and use it for our own ends. It's like a way of making a living like any other. And yeah, there's this aspirational thing. They are a growing power. They can say, oh, we're going into
Starting point is 00:28:12 this society and we are triumphant. We are on the march. We are growing. we can change it towards what we want it to be. And you see that assertiveness now in Britain. That's what that veteran is basically reacting to. Now you have Muslim members of parliament. And they brag about, you know, I'm running for Gaza. I'm running to destroy the state of Israel. I'm running to ban Israeli soccer teams from playing their fans coming to the UK.
Starting point is 00:28:38 That was the thing they did. And they, of course, brag, oh, we're Islamizing the UK. We feel tremendous pain when we see, for example, a church converted into a mosque, which is happening in the U.S. It's happening in the U.K. And they celebrate that. They have every reason to feel like they are winning and taking over. Why would they assimilate to a sinking ship? Yeah, well, there's 50 Muslim majority, 50 plus Muslim majority countries in the world.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And it's a simple question. And if you can't answer it in any sort of satisfactory way, then we've got a much bigger problem. than most people are aware of or willing to admit. Why don't they move there? No, they're coming to the West, and there is a reason for that. Okay, so I have to do the Rufo and Lomas bumper here. Oh, boy. And I just, I told you in the break, I just feel bad for Rufo,
Starting point is 00:29:31 that he's just, you know. Yeah, he's the bit player in this world you're creating. That's okay, man. You know, he'll recover. We love Rufo, it's all right. It's all right. I'm just giving, I'm, I'm bust his chops, I think is one of these expressions that would work.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Let's go ahead and play it. 432, Rufo and Lomas. I think quietly, rational people are hoping that Trump solves their problem for them. Yes. There's no conservative equivalent to Jimmy Kimmel on network television. And something needs to be done about that. I think the problem is related to trans ideology. And it is involved in online communities, whether it's popular or not,
Starting point is 00:30:10 that is a common denominator that I think has some. Is America a force for good or a force for bad? Is the West a civilizational force for good or a force for bad? Do you believe in Bigfoot Christopher Rufo? That's great. No, listen, I'm really excited about this show. I'm going to be a subscriber, absolutely. Two great minds talking about the most important ideas.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So, Lomaz, Jonathan Kieberman, where do, have you guys released an episode yet of Rufo and Lomis? Yeah, yeah, no, I think the first one's being released today, so we've gone into the last week's news, all of, again, the psychodrama that's been going on. We try to unpack some of that, talk about some of the elections, talk about the death of Dick Cheney and kind of what that means in the trajectory of the right over the last 20 years. It will be a weekly show, actually twice weekly, once Friday, once Tuesday, subscribe at YouTube, anywhere you get your podcast, Blaze TV, Rufo and Lomez. Rufo and Lomas. I'm genuinely excited about that clip. I want to get to this Sydney Sweeney viral clip, just because we've got some, we've got four dudes. Makes sense, right?
Starting point is 00:31:21 Let's go ahead and play. By the way, she gets asked by, I guess it's GQ's Catherine Stofel, and Blake, you're going to be the first one I throw to after this, so get ready. But she's asked, you know, don't you think it was a bad idea for you to talk about genetic superiority because you're white? 426. I mean, the president tweeted about the jeans ad, or truth socialed, about the jeans ad. And that just seems to me like a very crazy moment for anyone. And I wondered what that was like. It was surreal.
Starting point is 00:31:59 But the risk is that, you know, there's a chance that somebody will get some idea about what you think about certain issues. Like, do you worry about. that? No. No. The criticism of the content, white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority. I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about that specifically. I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear. Man, I saw a line on it that was so great where there's so many layers of feminine social engagement going on. They're the interviewer. I want to give you an opportunity like no like i am kind of ordering you to say this but i'm giving you an opportunity i'm not understanding why you're not taking the opportunity and then sidney just like
Starting point is 00:32:52 effortlessly shooting it down i i am not equal to this level of social adroitness i would i would die horribly in that situation of course um but charlie you know charlie obviously he was not like he would weigh in on this it was pretty funny and he like to say like yeah yeah she does have great jeans, doesn't she? So he would sometimes find this very amusing in a detached sort of way. So I think he'd be he'd be chuckling at how this is playing out now. And he'd be proud because it does, it does reflect even with the difficulties we had this week. There really is a positive vibe shift in America. Even though we had a bad midterm, it was partly because Democrats had to look around and say, we've got to give a heave-ho to a lot of this really bad cultural stuff. And
Starting point is 00:33:35 we are in such a better cultural place than we were a year. ago than we were five years ago and you know that's why not even a year ago this loser from the guardian tried to docks our friend jonathan instead revealed that he is a beautiful man and that man is going to now start his own show and everyone's excited to watch it it's it's a resentment against the beautiful and good we must protect sidney sweetie at all costs our beautiful helen i mean the funny thing about this to me is that the underlying controversy here is that sydney sweetie is like implicitly A implicitly acknowledging the existence of genetics. Okay, like the left wants to sort of present this idea that it's somehow like anathema, a moral, you know, it's a betrayal of our good senses.
Starting point is 00:34:23 White people aren't allowed to have that. Yeah, you don't have genetics. We don't believe in genetics around here. It kind of goes back to our other conversation about where the West decided it couldn't believe in itself. Like, white people aren't allowed to do basic things anymore. We're talking about beautiful men here, John Davis. So glad I could be here for this. You get the final word, my friend.
Starting point is 00:34:40 You can't buy these jeans off the market. Speaking of good jeans. These come from God. What I love about that clip is that in just one screenshot, you don't even need to listen to it or watch it. One little snapshot of that. And you see the total destruction of the HR Karen, HOA energy, the up-talking, the passive aggressiveness, the nitpicking. And then Sidney's like, nah, I'm good. You can actually just not denounce people on command.
Starting point is 00:35:12 It's true. You can reject the premise. You can just say no. I agree with Blake. There are so many layers to that. So like, I think you're a terrible person and a lot of people do. But, like, do you think that you do? And it's like, there is so much going on there.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And it was like, to Blake's other point, it was like he just so incisively cut through it and just rejected the premise and said, I'm not playing your games, lady. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliekirk.com.
