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.

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. 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, Andrew Colvitt, executive producer of this show.

Now I'm joined by Blake Neff, our not-so-secret weapon. And we're honored to have somebody that maybe this audience wouldn't expect us to have on the show, but it's for a very important conversation. And that is Chris Cuomo, host of Cuomo on News. Nation, a show that I had the pleasure of going on last night and talking about some really important things. And we talked after the show and he agreed to join us right here on this show as well. So Chris, welcome to the show and thank you for making the time. Hey, Andrew. Appreciate being with you. Thank you for being on News Nation. And I'm very sorry

for the loss of your friend, Charlie. Thank you for that. And I know that. I know that you are because you've expressed it to me personally and you've gone out of your way to do so and I think that you know deserves credit to where it's due because a lot of people you know the first things they reached out to are all about business it's all about what does this mean and when people come in their first their first comment is I'm sorry for your loss and I you know I feel for you and and you have nice things to say about Charlie who I know you and he and we disagree about the politics of it all we have a lot of different opinions and all that stuff.

But one thing that I noticed about you, Chris, and we talked about a little bit last night, is, you know, there can be a lot made of the who, you know, who did this, what, you know, but we can agree that the what is much more clear. We know what killed Charlie. What killed Charlie was people, and I said this on your show, excuse me, and you reiterated it, was that somebody or maybe a group of people were still waiting. on some of the details there candidly, and we want the answers. But somebody decided to pick up a gun when Charlie Kirk, what he was about was picking up a microphone.

It's a great line, and it is a perfect encapsulation of an evolving fundamentalism in our country and the extremism that we see that is turbocharged by social media, that is monetized within our politics and digital media that is capitalized on by this toxic two-party system. This is bad directionally, and what scared me most after the personal feelings

about the loss of such a young man who was followed by so many and what it meant to his wife and his babies, once I could get past that, what scared me, the most Andrew was the yeah but yeah but yeah but is really frightening when it comes to a moral analysis okay uh yeah look it's wrong to kill somebody but no no no no no but you want to talk about charlie's ideas fine nobody wanted to do that more than charlie did and more than most he

did it with decency. And I'm not saying I agreed with everything that he said. Charlie and I were very plain about our disagreements. But not attacking him personally, not attacking how he tried to present himself. And the idea of his murder is an absolute low for us. And that's all it can ever be seen as. It can never be mitigated. It can never be qualified. Yeah. Well, it's well said, Chris and the yeah but was really terrifying i mean blake and i were obviously we were shell shock we're watching the whole world uh change blake you know i i think about this often with blake that that he was there a few feet away from charlie and you know imagine our world and blake's world as well

especially imagine what we're seeing in those few hours days after it happened and you're seeing congress getting into shouting matches about a prayer you're getting you're seeing you're seeing celebration we saw this the yeah but what it really manifested was this immediate race i have by a lot of people that i have to find a reason i can feel okay with this i have to find a reason actually i can decide this is a good thing and they would fixate on the smallest you know the stuff we debunked in the episode the following week where oh well actually he said this thing about the second amendment so you can actually dunk on charlie for dying or he said this thing about affirmative

action. So actually it's fine to think it was good that he was shot. And that happened so often and that's not even getting into the darker stuff. I mean, I got messages from people I personally know who were gloating in my face about it. Yeah. Well, and... You know how many

pictures of the president's ear I've gotten? Where people say his ear is fine. There's no way it healed like this. There's another and my point is, look, you bring me proof that they faked it, and I'll be all over it. But short of that, that would have been, I don't even want to think about what would have

happened in this country, had the president been seriously injured, let alone assassinated as Charlie was. And I actually reached out to Trump right after that and said exactly that. Now, of course, the media, and a lot of your friends, wound up immediately weaponizing it and saying, I apologize to Trump for the media. I apologize. Like, I was somehow responsible for what had happened with that evil assassin. And that's where we're at. And that's why, you know, one of the reasons I reached out a little protectively, Andrew, with you is I see that people are used.

using the opportunity of Charlie's assassination to promote agendas that not only weren't his, but are kind of shameless and disgusting. I mean, even the Israel thing. I mean, yeah, fine. I'm paid off by A-PAC, you know, whatever silly conspiracy somebody wants. Israel did it. I mean, to weaponize it that way, to use you guys that way is just cheap and part of the problem. And it worried me.

So I wanted to make sure that you guys were getting to own your own narrative, you know? Well, yeah. I mean, listen, we're, you know, we just announced that we're going to be doing the All-American halftime show. We've got this tour coming that's continuing where, you know, we've got thousands and thousands of students at all of these arenas. We've got Amfest that's going to be the biggest it's ever been. We've got huge announcements coming up even just next week.

And so the work continues. And Chris, I said this on your show last night. It's we have a sacred. duty to live up to the legacy of Charlie, who I believe is a modern day founding father. He was somebody that called us back to our national ideals of debate and dialogue. That's how I feel. And, you know, listen, we have a sacred duty to live up to that, to harness all of this outpouring of energy, of enthusiasm, for patriotism, for faith. And what I believe can be a revival in this country, especially with young people. And that's what we have to do.

we can't get bogged down by the controversies. We can't get dragged down these rabbit holes online and the, you know, and again, get fixated on the who. The who is important. We want justice and we want to make sure everybody involved is brought to justice. So believe me, we are working on that. And when we are silent does not mean that we do not care. That was the other thing I told you.

I think I repeated myself, as a matter of fact, because in that silence, there is a, there isn't opportunity for a vacuum and avoid to be created where other people will rush in. but we, especially Blake, being a witness, but me and my role, we cannot negatively impact an ongoing investigation. So do not conflate or confuse silence on a very important matter for complacency or laziness or lack of caring. We care. If you think you care, we care more. Let me just assure you. Go ahead. You have any questions for me? I always thought it would be fun. And I'll come back another time if you want brother i know for you guys to like show me where we disagree yeah um yeah well i you think that i'm so different no no no listen i listen i know that you

have chartered your own course after the cnnnn days and i've i've been really excited to see especially with covid uh and you're you know you say that conversation is a cure i think charlie agree with that you guys uh charlie never actually got to go on your show we were we were working on it behind the scenes and i'm sad that that didn't happen but you did get to be on with him at the Patrickette David for hours yeah so and he by the way he came he came away from that Chris and he said no Chris is really like he's a really decent guy in person like I really enjoyed meeting him and so I mean it was all all positive positive vibes but Chris I like him I like that you know I didn't I didn't agree with some of his things the one thing I wish

Charlie had the chance to say here what he told me when I was with him with Pat I was like you know how can you think that the Civil Rights Act was a mistake? Oh, well, and he said to me, and I've said this, I've said this now. People think I'm lying, but whatever. He said to me, it's not what I meant, because I know you can show me clips of that. That's not what I meant. Of course, minorities needed to have the right to vote. That's not it.

It's that the DEI that was embedded in the DNA of that legislation wound up being used in a way that has been bad for the country and that that's what he was talking about that's what he meant even if he didn't say it that way and I accepted it Hello America, I'm Andrew Colvette from the Charlie Kirk Show here with Preserve Gold.

You got dummies, okay, right, with people who were ignorant, didn't get exposed to diversity.

or they're just dummies okay that's one um the second kind are the people who aren't aware that their behaviors or their words are both um are suggestive of a prejudice that it's it's implicit and that they're not trying to be that way but that's how they're raised that's just how they think and it's correctable then you have the third one okay which is the real problem racists who are proud to tell you that they are. And in my experience, if someone's a racist, they will tell you because they believe they have very good reasons for it. And I see it being abused now, just like calling people on Nazis or saying that Trump is Hitler. You cheapen the profound nature.

To be fair, though, Chris, just to be to be fair, people have been mislabeling people as racist for, you know, basically as long as I'm I've been an adult, probably much longer before that. Sometimes people who are all that are, and a lot of times they're not. It ramped up a lot in the last, I would say, 10, 15 years, a lot. And you can see that by some of those charts and graphs that were the Wall Street Journal, how many times they brought up racism or racist. There's no question. It became weaponized.

You are right. And what matters or should matter, it actually doesn't matter enough, is why. The reason it's ramped up is because we're going down a road of fundamentalism. we are getting into extreme ideas and extreme belief systems. And I believe it is fed by our system, the two-party system specifically, and amplified by design for profit by social media. So that now it's not that, like, I would love for you guys to pepper me with like, or what do you think about, you know, guns or whatever it is where you think that we disagree. And I think it's a really great exercise. and we don't want to do that.

Instead, I want to say, oh, that Andrew is a cuck. And, you know, that blight is soft. And I destroyed them. And, you know, I destroyed them. And I did this and I did that. And then I put it out in the clips. And that's how it is.

That is, it's so toxic and people don't get it. And I say to them, just think about it. I say to people all the time, you think you'd say that if you were standing in front of me right now. and it's funny Chris I remember this yeah I would no you would

you know it's funny I have this I don't know if this is bad to bring up but one of the images of you in my head was you know somebody came at you in public

it was in real life and I think the clip went viral for a little bit and you got this guy's face like you you know I remember thinking like you don't want to mess with Chris I'm thinking the truth

you want the truth Andrew here's the truth the unspoken truth one I almost got fired for that and a big reason that it almost happened was the president the president

saw the clip or was told about the clip and used it to make the point that people say his supporters are violent look at this guy and he went another step

and was like and I know him and these guys got lucky and I'll tell you what he's right they did get lucky And I'll tell you why, Andrew. What you don't know is they didn't stop me.

They stopped my nine-year-old daughter and said, is it okay if we take a picture with Fredo? And as I was walking up the stairs, I heard this. And I said, did you just call me Fredo to my nine-year-old daughter? And the guy was like, yeah, like that. Oh, yeah, you don't do that. You don't do that. And that's disrespectful, Chris. of course and we i'm sorry you had to go through that all right chris i want to show you a graphic

and i'm going to have you reply to it um because it is concerning after and i saw by the way so go ahead and throw up 265 and we've talked about it on this show before and the question was posed and remember this is september 12th through the 15th don't worry i'll walk you all through it if you can't read it says the question was so this is this is two days after it happened okay is it ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goal. And this is the percentage of responding yes. And look at that

really standout node right there at the beginning. Age 18 through 39, if you're liberal, 30% of them, just about, maybe just under, maybe it's 29% said yes, that it's justified to resort to violence to achieve political goals. There is something going

on with young progressives that they think violence is somehow okay. What do you make of that? A few things. One, I think it's not that that is true as a standalone. It's the ands, okay? One, they may call themselves progressives. They may not.

I think the labels don't apply the way they used to. And it's not just people on the left. It's young people in general. But Chris, but Chris, one second. I just want to say, look at the conservative node there. It's in the other color. I see it. Young conservatives are actually, self-described.

Yeah, self-described. are less likely than even, you know, 60 plus-year-old conservatives. Yes. And I think there's a reason for that right now, which is the rageometer has swung the pendulum, right? Everything is pendular in our politics. Why? Two choices. The binary natural.

So the rage was on the right. That's what launched in birth, MAGA, was the president tapping into a legitimate set of grievances, legitimate set of grievances and there was outrage now it has swung and there's reaction formation to MAGA the DEMSox I call them

the Democratic Socialists and they have the outrage they have the grievance of Trump as a fascist and of affordability and of perceived cultural victimization which they grab onto in Gaza

as well as here in America. Like, that's the level of surrogacy they have for this righteousness, whether or not it applies to them or not. That's what's driving it. And it is really dangerous. How do we fix it? Here's how you fix it. Okay, I've been giving this a lot of thought.

Usually I say, I don't know. I'm not in the answer's business. But here's the answer. There's no way that News Nation and every other media platform that you like or dislike has a level of responsibility for what it puts out there. and the richest, most powerful media people with the largest platforms have zero. Fix it. Interesting.

Yeah, and I would say that, you know, to Charlie's credit, because Charlie gets lumped in with this, Charlie Kirk destroys Lib and all this stuff, and I get it. Those videos are out there on social media. But 90% of his interactions on campus were calm, patient. One of the most common things that we saw, especially as he got old, because he started looking at the students as like younger, younger siblings. He had the older brother role. And he was infinitely, nearly infinitely patient with so many of these kids.

And that became the most common comment that we would see on social media. Like, Charlie, how do you have a patient? For me as well. That's what I value about Charlie. To your point, those didn't always go as viral as the fire exchanges. And that's something that's cooked into our basic wiring, Florida. is yours to finish it finish it never i mean it's it's not one thing it's everything okay and i get that most people don't get this because most people don't live social media the way the amplify

the magnified minorities do minority populations so they don't really get it but it is infecting everything they do get and you have to stop allowing the algorithms to reward rage baiting I'm not allowed to do that If I were to do that There would be so much scrutiny Of Wow all this guy does It's like giving reasons to hate people

We got to wrap it up Chris That was a really interesting Conversation Thank you so much Good to be with you The time This is the Charlie Kirk show We are all about

Saving Babies with Preborn There are 24,836 Kindergners Starting School this month who would not be alive if it hadn't been for what pre-born did in 2019. When a woman considering abortion sees her baby on that ultrasound and hears that baby's heartbeat, it doubles the chance that she will choose life. $140 gives five 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 save babies' lives for years. years and years to come. Charlie and Erica love pre-born. Charlie loved it so much. He believed in it so much. He was a donor. So I'll give the final word to Charlie Kirk. Whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds that opportunities is a phone call or click away. Call 833-850-229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com. So, you know, I used to always notice this when Charlie would get to like certain segments and he just was like, hey, I don't even know anything about what I'm talking about here, but you guys do, and he would like love it because it was not

on him. So we're going to be talking about pop culture, controversies, Taylor Swift, Zach Brian, all the things. But first, Mikey McCoy has some news for us. Yeah. So obviously we announced the halftime show today. Halftime. The All-American Half-American Half-Time show. And so that initially there's a little bit of confusion because they're like, is this, you know, the Forrest Frank Cori Oz, Asbury, Half-Time show. Is this? Is this. Is this the same thing? People are a little bit confused. And I think originally, Daisy, we had announced it.

And then Corey also announced it. And so... Yeah, everyone just kind of talking about their ideas. Well, I mean, I do just want to say really quick. The original seed of the idea came from a joke from Jack Masovic. I just want to say that Jack does sort of get to claim first dibs here. But anyways, so we posted that this morning. Some people were asking questions.

So just to put, you know, for clarity's sake here. I, about literally 10 minutes ago, I just jumped off a call with Corey. And it was a great phone call. He's an amazing guy, great follower of Christ, does so much to bring people back to the Lord. And it was an amazing phone call, 30 minutes long. And our desire is to partner. Our desire is to proclaim the name of Jesus. Collaborate.

Collaborate. Yeah. And so that is our desire. And so it sounds like we're going to be building a bridge there. Oh, well. We can't get a hold of. of ourselves. We can't get ahead of ourselves.

But listen, the good news is that, like, people that love Jesus, people that are concerned about the things of the Lord, there is no friction, okay? There is only linking arms. And, I mean, that has been Erica's one guiding principle. Or there's been a few, but, like, one of the main ones is that we want to make heaven crowded. We want to see revival. We want to see the name of Jesus made great in our land again.

And so that was a really positive step. Good job. And I knew nothing about, I knew nothing that there was like, like competing things. I was completely, I was wonderfully oblivious. What's most important is that it wasn't even anyone's specific ideas, was the American public saying we want something different than what we're given. And a lot of amazing people from turning point events, Corey, whatever they're trying to put on, a lot of amazing people are trying to make that happen. And we all want to do it together. Yeah. And I think this goes back to the fact that Bad Bunny was just a bad choice.

And so a lot of people that really love this country, like Blake Neff, was like, I'm not going to stream bad bunny music. Or maybe you do. I don't know that Blake already. I have literally never heard of bad bunny until. And I'll just add this. A court of three strings isn't easily broken. And so the more of us that partner together to fight for what we believe in is, the stronger we are. And listen, this doesn't have to be a partisan thing.

This doesn't have to be a political thing. This is just like there is a sense of what America is. There's a sense about what faith family and freedom mean to people. And we just want to, we want to do that. That's what we want to do. Family freedom. Less booty cheeks on a halftime show. More believers.

Less sexual anarchy. Booty cheeks believers. Yeah. We're more on this side. That's really the division here. It's also a perfect transition. I was going to say, okay, so what are we talking about here? Let's get this.

Let's take. So Daisy is, of course, a Taylor Swift fan. I also would like to say I do have other interests. I know I really only come on this show to talk about Taylor Swift. I know, but I'm not sure. I feel like I don't ever talk to her about Taylor Swift. But this is obviously a recurring thing. Charlie had very strong thoughts on Taylor Swift's celebrity and her relationship with that, you know, the Pfizer guy.

Travis Kelsey. But now she has a new album out and Daisy is going to tell us there's a very interesting developments in how the Swift is reacting to this. Well, we did talk about this once already. So she talks about just wanting to have the white picket fence and the family, which we thought was good. That was the day after it had come out. And so the online chatter hadn't really started yet. But since then, that's been almost, it's been a week since it came out almost a week since we had that conversation.

And she is getting canceled by her own side. She, people have found a lot of different lyrics that are microaggressions. Microaggression. This reminds me of when, uh, that Z gal from, uh, the on F America tour. was trying to like counter Charlie and turning point and then she got canceled by her own team for microaggressions. Exactly. So there are a couple things that are going on. One, people are upset saying that Taylor is, one of the quotes that I saw was that she has given the alt-right their conservative agenda on a silver platter. Because she's talking about how she wants to get married and have kids.

People use that terms like in the most idiotic ways. And then separately, she's getting slammed for her racist theory. What's the Black Rock? So, okay. Let's show some of the clips just so we can set this up. Do we have one of those set up? We have a montage of the left canceling. We have, let's just start with, this is a couple of, let's do 118.

I want to have your white babies and I actually want our entire neighborhood to be racially homogenous. She went through this entire thing with Trump, right? About how she and her fan base did not like being called childless cat ladies. And now Taylor is calling y'all childless cat ladies. Either the life of a showgirl is one big, racist, homophobic dog whistle, or everyone has lost their absolute minds. Currently singing about your new fiancé is endorsing eugenics now. And the song canceled is a MAGA anthem. The Hamlet character Ophelia, a happy ending instead of a tragic one, is an endorsement of the patriarchy.

The song, Opelite, is a white supremacist anthem for, I don't know why. And it's also homophobic too. And also racist while we're at it. The question is, is a dog whistle really a dog whistle if only the offended party can hear it? So that person sounds like she was defending Taylor, but going through them. Just kind of going through the general things that people are saying. So there's a couple things that are going on.

One, there's a song called Opelite. Travis Kelsey's very public ex-girlfriend was a black girl. Taylor's lyric says you were sleepless in the onyx night now you're seeing opalite something like that and people are saying that this is racist because onyx is black opalite one of the articles I read said that Taylor represents opalite because she's translucent and white

I just have to say Taylor you're finally getting a taste of what Charlie had to deal with for so long yeah out of context people taking your words and twisting them I think that happened a few times with Charlie talking about Taylor. Yeah, we have a clip of, I think, one of those complaints, by the way. Let's play 124. Taylor Swift has revealed herself to be resentful of black women or at least deeply insecure

when it comes to comparing herself to black women. In the song, Opelight, Taylor is referencing Travis Kelsey's ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. The lyrics of Opelite include, you were dancing through the lightning strikes, sleepless in the onyx night. But now the sky is Opelite. So Taylor is not only using the lyrics in the song to talk about how she is so much better for Travis than his ex-girlfriend is, but she is choosing to do that using the imagery of Onyx, which is typically black, and opalite, which is typically white. Yeah.

So it gets even worse. Taylor's apparent racism because she has, in WishLish, the song that we talked about last week, she says she wants to have a bunch of kids with Travis and have the whole block looking like you, which is clearly. Taylor saying that she wants her entire block to look white and not obviously not her saying she wants to have so many kids with her fiance who she's in love with that she wants a bunch of many many of them running around but no she's very clearly being racist by that one another one which was took me a lot longer to understand I still don't really understand that in her song eldest daughter she says I'm not a bad be we can interpret what that means I'm not a savage which that is a micro regression I think we're showing pictures up on the screen of people responding. to that saying that Taylor is showing her racism by saying that because those are she is comparing herself to his ex again who we know is black so I'm just saying Blake like how many times do does a progressive need to get burned by the insane progressive people before they learn that you do not make common cause evidence I've seen from when I have investigated this is unfortunately it is infinity. Some people can like

be humiliated over and over like massively hated and they'll just, they'll never quite get it. How did I know that you were just going to nail that? That's also what I think is so crazy about this because in her song canceled which one of the videos mentioned it's about how she likes her friends better being canceled. It's widely speculated

that's about Brittany Mahomes who has been associated with conservative principles the alt-right movement and so. Speaking of the all right move or do you have a sorry i don't well i was just going to say i think this is so crazy that people are saying that taylor is so maga-coded in this album because taylor is every single

election has come out and endorsed a democrat she is very publicly against trump just i just because she wants to get married and have kids does not mean that she is a republican there is a real dimension to this there's a real dimension to this where like it really makes them come out and you realize they just can't stand normal people yeah not not to mention she she this album is incredibly raunchy, like not kid friendly. Isn't there some of a magic wand? It's a whole song about it. She wants to get

married. Maybe she'll get cancelled so hard that it'll actually push her to the right one. I think that's what Charlie was hoping for. This is a Charlie Kirk prophecy that's about to come true. It's getting fulfilled. Yeah, in our midst. We should play 123 though. This is a critique of her album being Republican coded.

123. Came across the video today of someone calling Taylor Swift's new album Republican coded because it obviously is and if you can't realize that you're a victim of the media literacy crisis if only for the song canceled where she the billionaire paints herself as the victim of cancel culture people rightfully pointed out the person she was dating did a racist thing but beyond that i mean that's enough that's obvious making number one that and number two an album about like an idealized form of like what is a typical american family ideally of like living in a suburb being in a monogamous relationship getting peace and

and joy and basically just kind of being a housewife. Those are Republican virtues. Those are Republican virtues. We'll take them. We'll take them. We'll take it. American families. I'll just maintain.

If she can go on a tour and if she announces that she is going to go on tour as Taylor Kelsey, I think. Oh, I'll buy. I'll go. Her fan base will explode. I just want to apologize to the audience for playing that young man. I'm sorry. This is Lane Schoenberger, Chief Investment Officer and founding partner of Y-R-R-R-R-R-R-E-Fi. It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.

His endorsement means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Turning Point for years to come. Now, hear Charlie, in his own words, tell you about Y-R-R-R-R-E-F-Y-F-I. I'm going to tell you guys about Y-R-R-E-F-Y-F-F-R-E-F-I-R-R-F-I-R-F-E-F-I-F-E-F-E-F-E-FI-E-F-E-FI. is refinancing distress or defaulted private student loans. You can finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget. Go to whyrefi.com. That is why refi.com.

Do you have a co-barrower? Why refi can get them released from the loan. You can skip a payment up to 12 times without penalty. It may not be available in all 50 states. Go to why refi.com. That is y-ref-fy.com. Let's face it, if you have distress or defaulted student loans, it can be overwhelming.

Because of private student loan debt, so many people feel stuck. Go to Y-R-R-E-F-Y.com. That is Y-R-E-F-Y-F-Y.com. Private student loan debt relief, Y-Refi.com. My sincerest apologies to you all. I know that was appalling for you. I just can't get over.

He said peace and joy. These are obviously Republican-bound and monogamy. You know those Republicans. They like kids and family and marriage. I hope this isn't like a downer. But Blake and I, last text exchange with Charlie was about monogamy. And

we were talking about how it's very advanced civilizational tech, how good it is for culture, how it directs male energy towards the building of families, the building of businesses, the building of civilization. It's just when I heard him say monogamy, Republican value,

I was like, how did obviously good things become partisan things? Well, it would become a partisan thing if one of the sides was against good things and like things because they were disgusting and bad. It's never been more clear that they are just

they're saying from this Taylor Swift album, which I think is crazy, that's where they're coming into this conclusion from, that they are against settling down and having a family. I think we should do an experiment where like you take really left wing insane people and you just do exposure therapy, like hook them up to some devices to measure them

and then just show them like a photo of a nuclear family with two children under age five and just see if like if they have this like visceral. disgust reaction because at this point I suspect you would and I think we need to research this. We should bring back wife swap but it's like a complete conservative normal child wife family with some blue-haired, blue-haired 20-year-old girl living in the city. This is normalizing insanity. This is normalizing patently insane people and we need to actually return to the taboo culture of yesterday. All we want, we don't want Handmaid's Tale. We just want

90s. That's all we want. Yeah. Give me the 90s, which maybe is a good inspiration for our half-time show. But it is remarkable that normal things are now Republican coded. I think that's a win for the country in the short term politically. Because how are you supposed to win if monogamy is like a partisan issue? Like I'm pretty sure Democrats don't want to be cheated on either, you know? I wouldn't want to assume. Okay. All right, we have more pop culture controversies including Zach Brian What's the next What's the next controversy

We need to be educated on? So Zach Brian Posted a snippet of a song And he captioned it The fading of the red, white and blue And in this song His lyrics are An Ice is going to come bust down your door

Try to build a house No one builds no more But I got a telephone The kids are all scared and all alone So Zach Brian already is just Not a good guy I think that's pretty well known

I actually think we talked about this I've also never heard of Zach Brian He's a massive country singer He's incredibly talented Like how heavy Daisy what happened with him And Brianna chicken fry Yeah so he publicly dated

That was his former girlfriend Chicken Fry's not actually her last name But it's what we call it She goes by Brianna Chicken Fried They publicly dated for a long time Then messy messy breakup She came out said that he treated her incredibly terribly

very very very bad stuff about him and he offered um in this story yes she i like i don't think she's a fan of us in anyway but she very publicly has said that he offered her 12 million dollars to go away to never talk about him publicly again and his that's just an extortion right yeah also took the same deal not 12 million dollars but he was actually he was um in the military was married, got divorced, then is now a very successful country singer. But Brianna Chicken Fry did not take the money and has been speaking,

or has spoken about everything they need. Turning down $12 million to publicly hate on someone is some pretty nuclear-level hatred. Yes. A woman scorned, Blake. A woman scorned. So he, and he's always been pretty liberal, especially after all the Bud Light stuff

happened. I want to say that he, we were conservatives, we're canceling Bud Light and I think he pretty publicly said Bud Light was going to be the sole beer he drank on his tour. I'm 90% sure that's what that was. By the way, he's about 5-5 in person. I actually, I don't get mad. My wife bought me a ticket. Sure.

I went to the concert. Oh, this is how it's going to be. All right. She bought it for me as a birthday shirt. Can we go to a Taylor's shirt? I did not go to a Taylor Swift. Can we rush print a Zach Ryan number one fan shirt? We need this.

I do not. not have that I will tell you that the first thing that I saw when I so I enter the arena and he's it's kind of done in the round so he kind of moves around he kind of points to all yeah all directions and the first thing I noticed is that he had heels like on his shoes like this like there were like Bono heels he used to do that too and he's legit he's just a very tiny person he probably I mean five four five was it hard to see him from the crowd even with the stage So why do we think he's a bad person? I don't understand.

Well, I do. Could the women be extorting him? I don't know that I trust this stuff. I'm just being honest. I know. I think there's enough. Well, they clearly weren't extorting him because they turned down the money. Yeah.

He always starts fights with cops when they're literally being so chill with him. Morgan Wallin? No, Zach. I'm sorry. No, no. He got arrested for interfering with a traffic stop and he told the officer, I'm just a 27-year-old kid, man. I think it's pretty well known that he's not the best guy he's also pretty liberal yes and so I also think we have comments though he's commented on this well we have Christine Nome responding to it that's 114 if we want to play that I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is not just to law enforcement but to this country to every single individual that has ever stood up and fought for our freedoms he just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that, that attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.

So, Zach, I didn't listen to your music. I'm happy about that today. Today, that makes me very happy that I never once gave you a single penny to enrich your lifestyle if you truly believe what that song stands for. But I am going to go out and probably download some Jason Aldeen songs and John Rich songs. Kid Rock. Any of those guys, those guys know what it means to stand up for freedom. So you can't say the same thing that Christine Elm said, that she's never given a penny to Zach Brian to support him.

I can't say it. I can't say it. I'm sorry. My wife. I would just say all of you are less pure than me because you had heard of Zach Brian. That is true. No, he is incredibly talented. I can't believe you guys would just go and know who Zach Ryan is when he's done. My wife is like we're going to a country. We're going to a country concert. That's what I thought. He's very famous for a reason. He's really, really an amazing singer. So he responds. He responded and said, that this song is actually about his love for the country, and anyone that's using it as a weapon proves how divided we all truly are. He posted it.

Well, that's the end of our pop culture, power half hour. Let us know what you think about Zagrin. Freedom at Charliekirk.com and send us who you want to see at the halftime show, the All-American halftime show. I don't think Zach Brian will want to join. Talk to you soon.
