| With us right now is Lee Smith. | |
| He is a well-respected author and columnist and an expert on international relations, as we are going to kind of just give an update on what's happening in Ukraine. | |
| We haven't even mentioned Ukraine for a couple weeks and nobody better than Lee Smith to help us unpack it. | |
| Lee, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. | |
| Charlie, thank you very much for inviting me back. | |
| It's great to speak with you and thanks for asking me to speak about this important topic. | |
| Look, I mean, what I've written, what I've explained in the past is a lot of the noise that we've seen coming out of the war. | |
| I mean, these are two countries at war, Russia and Ukraine. | |
| So we can expect for there to be all sorts of propaganda and information warfare. | |
| What's peculiar about this, what's peculiar about this conflict is the amount of propaganda that's coming out of the United States, in particular that's coming out of Washington regarding this war. | |
| And as I've argued since the beginning of this conflict, what this indicates is information warfare is attached to real genuine operations. | |
| The information warfare that's being waged against the American people regarding the conflict in Russia and Ukraine is attached to genuine operations targeting the American public. | |
| In particular, your great audience may have seen yesterday a letter signed by former intelligence chiefs, including James Clapper, Michael Morell, Leon Panetta. | |
| And what they are asking for, what they are warning is that the disinformation coming out of Russia means that the intelligence community needs more control over big tech. | |
| And if you break up big tech, if you go after Google, if you go after Apple, if you go after large big tech corporations, you're going to be making American national security vulnerable. | |
| And they've been so helpful so far, these big tech corporations to us here running national security. | |
| What I'm getting at is that Vladimir Putin's invasion of Russia has served as cover. for the national security establishment to escalate its war against the American Republic. | |
| That's really, that's really insightful. | |
| So let's just kind of get a quick update because I really haven't been following it. | |
| I've tried, but it's very confusing and there's contradictory statements. | |
| And I just, I'm not an expert in this stuff. | |
| So to the best of your ability, can you just kind of give us an update of where do things actually stand on the ground in Ukraine? | |
| How far have Russian forces advanced? | |
| What cities have totally been captured? | |
| What is the death toll? | |
| What is the casualty toll? | |
| Are the Russians still adamant and trying to take Kyiv? | |
| Give us an update. | |
| I haven't really heard a fair and transparent analysis of this in weeks. | |
| As I'm saying, it's very, very difficult to get information coming out. | |
| Not only it's difficult to get information coming out because it's being curated by the American National Security Establishment. | |
| What we understand from most of the reports we're getting is that right now, Vladimir Putin is stalled in some of his strategic goals. | |
| I believe he's stalled in Mariupol. | |
| And this is a major issue right now. | |
| It appears that Russian forces are moving on the East, and that's a clear strategic goal of Vladimir Putin. | |
| And remember, the East has been the site of Russian-backed Ukrainian separatists fighting against Ukrainian forces. | |
| So clearly rolling up the East is an important goal for the Putin government. | |
| So let me ask you a question here. | |
| And there's been a lot of chatter about this. | |
| Do you think that the Russian military very well might have been overrated, overestimated? | |
| Just from a peer analysis, have you as an international affairs expert been underwhelmed by their ability to take land or have you actually been impressed? | |
| What's your analysis of that? | |
| Because there's a lot of intrigue amongst the American people of, did we just get a window into how Russia really isn't as strong as they say they are or are they holding back? | |
| What's your insight into that? | |
| Well, look, I mean, the nature of the conflict has changed. | |
| And no, I don't think, again, talking about the way that this is described through Washington, right? | |
| You look at the papers, you look at the New York Times this morning, and they're talking again about Vladimir being crazy, Vladimir Putin being isolated, right? | |
| Vladimir Putin is not isolated. | |
| Vladimir Putin right now is supported by the People's Republic of China, right? | |
| This is the new bloc rising in East, that we're seeing rising in Eastern Europe with China, Russia, as well as Iran. | |
| Here's something else about this new bloc rising. | |
| And what I talk about, information being choked off by our own national security establishment, right? | |
| Joe Biden, the Biden administration is imposing sanctions on Vladimir Putin, Ukraine-related sanctions. | |
| At the same time, Vladimir Putin's foreign diplomats are negotiating with the Iranians on behalf of the Joe Biden White House to legalize Iran's nuclear weapons program. | |
| What that will do is it will flood Vladimir Putin's war chest with at least $10 billion, more than enough to offset the sanctions that Biden has imposed on Putin and his regime, right? | |
| So this is what I'm saying. | |
| The information that is coming out is not giving us a correct assessment of what's going on. | |
| So the idea that Vladimir Putin is crazy or the idea that Vladimir Putin is isolated is 100% nonsense. | |
| In fact, he's been legitimized by the Biden administration, which is using him and his diplomats to negotiate with Iran, right? | |
| So the idea that somehow Russian forces are much weaker than we had thought, I don't see right now any evidence that that's the case, unless people expected that this was going to happen, that he was going to overrun the entire country within a matter of weeks, and that in spite of all the support, in spite of all the ammunition, in spite of all the arms that Zelensky is getting from Western powers, somehow Putin would nonetheless be able to overrun Ukraine in a matter of, if not hours, in a matter of days. | |
| So no, I don't see any evidence right now that we've underestimated, underestimated the Russian military or Vladimir Putin's strategic thinking regarding what he wants in Ukraine. | |
| Yeah, so there's a, yeah, but do you think Russia is holding back in any way, shape, or form here? | |
| I mean, because you would imagine that, or did they think they'd be able to take over Ukraine quicker? | |
| I guess that's my question. | |
| Right. | |
| I mean, look, we've heard from lots of people, you know, from solid analysts that, you know, Putin is trying to limit civilian casualties. | |
| Nonetheless, I think that there are reports coming out, many of them legitimate, that, of course, civilians are paying a heavy price, but this is war. | |
| And this is what happens in war. | |
| So yes, civilians are going to pay. | |
| Okay. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I suppose, I guess no one really knows, right? | |
| It's just there's such contradictory. | |
| I think that this, for Americans, this is the central part of the war for Americans, right? | |
| The fact that our own government is withholding information. | |
| Look at what they've done. | |
| Barack Obama is at the very head, right, of an operation to make sure that Americans are not getting information. | |
| He's at Stanford today, right? | |
| Leading their push to limit disinformation. | |
| What that means is they're censoring information for fear it's Russian disinformation. | |
| For Americans, this is the story of our war. | |
| It's how our national security establishment and political officials are withholding information from us for us a free people to be able to make our own judgments and our own assessments of what's happening and how this may or may not touch on American interest and how they are using this as a platform to limit our ability to communicate with one another. | |
| That's the central story of the Ukraine war for Americans. | |
| And the evidence of that is how cloudy the entire thing is, why you can't get straight reports from the New York Times, from CNN, from NBC. | |
| So Lee, will you agree with me that this is more murky than it is clear? | |
| And I know that you're saying that the government, our government's involved, I totally agree. | |
| But even outside of it, if you read the foreign press, it's hard to really get an idea of what's happening on the ground, like who's quote unquote winning. | |
| It's very confusing. | |
| Would you agree with that? | |
| And if so, why is it that this conflict has been so hard to kind of get clear and honest coverage? | |
| Yeah, I totally agree. | |
| I mean, even in Europe, even in Europe, of course. | |
| Well, because we see there are lots of different intersecting interests here. | |
| There are political interests, there are economic interests. | |
| Of course, we know that, you know, we know that Germany gets its energy from Russia. | |
| So Germany is involved in a very delicate balancing act, right? | |
| And so, but we see the European response. | |
| I mean, they really are acting as if Vladimir Putin is Hitler. | |
| So they're banning and boycotting. | |
| I'm sure you saw that a couple of Russian tennis players will not be allowed to play at Wimbledon this year, right? | |
| So everyone who is a Russian national has to bear the burden, unless, of course, they denounce Vladimir Putin, which is preposterous, especially given the number of family members that all of the musicians or ballet dancers or athletes will have back home, regardless of how they actually feel about Vladimir Putin. | |
| So there are a number of different currents that are intersecting in this war in Ukraine. | |
| And that's one of the reasons why this is so very difficult to understand. | |
| And the Europeans are doing the same thing as the United States. | |
| I mean, the flow of information. | |
| Remember, let's go back to Russia game, right? | |
| And the flow of information we had on Russia. | |
| And then we go back to Don, the first impeachment of Donald Trump and the information we had on Ukraine. | |
| These are political interests that are intersecting and they are polluting the information ecosystem. | |
| And this is what we're seeing all around the world. | |
| And the United Kingdom has an even worse problem with Russia, right? | |
| The amount of Russian money that comes into London and all of the foreign money that basically props up London and the number of Russian oligarchs that use Russia, or rather, that use London to fight each other. | |
| So what do we think the information ecosystem is going to be like coming out of the British press? | |
| It's going to be even worse than the way it looks in the United States. | |
| But of course, remember, the foundation is that this is war, right? | |
| And in war, both sides are going to be using information warfare and they're going to be trying to shape a number of different realities. | |
| The first reality they need to shape is the home front, right? | |
| They have to keep up morale and they're looking to target the morale of the other side, right? | |
| So these are important goals in information warfare. | |
| And that's what we're seeing play out right now. | |
| What should be the role of the United States? | |
| The role of the United States is the role of American policymakers and the role of the press should be try to explain as clearly as possible what is happening, right? | |
| What is going on? | |
| What has led to this? | |
| What are likely outcomes? | |
| Instead, what do we have? | |
| We have the championing of Volodymyr Zelensky as one of the world's great heroes. | |
|

|
|
| This is not about, you know, I'm not picking on President Zelensky. | |
| I'm just saying that doesn't appear to me to be the role of the press or the role of American policymakers, right? | |
| To explain what's going on. | |
| And if there is an American interest at stake, but we're not seeing anything like that. | |
| Again, what we're seeing is American policymakers, American press, American political activists are using the war in Ukraine to further strengthen their control over America's information ecosystem. | |
| And again, that's the story of America's, what America's story is of the war in Ukraine. | |
| Lee, thank you so much. | |
| Really appreciate it. | |
| Deeply appreciate you coming on. | |
| You're terrific. | |
| Really great insight. | |
| Being an entrepreneur and running a business is not for the faint of heart. | |
| I have two jobs. | |
| I'd do the Charlie Kirk show till noon, then Turning Point USA till I go to sleep and all the problems in between. | |
| A lot of stress. | |
| 330 days on the road I spent last year. | |
| But if you're not careful, the stress can start to take a toll on your body, raising your blood pressure, making it harder to sleep, draining you of vital energy, and making you more irritable. | |
| That's why I recommend you supplement with magnesium daily. | |
| About 75% of people are magnesium deficient. | |
| That number might be higher among business owners and C-level professionals. | |
| That's because stress depletes magnesium levels. | |
| This can trigger a various cycle of rising stress and severe magnesium deficiency. | |
| This deficiency can lead to higher levels of anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, and low energy. | |
| It can even contribute to foot and leg cramps while you sleep. | |
| Now, you might be wondering, does magnesium really affect all these things? | |
| Well, the answer is yes. | |
| In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 chemical processes inside your body. | |
| So a lot of different things can start to go wrong if you're deficient. | |
| The good news is you can experience a number of positive health benefits just by getting enough magnesium, including better sleep, more energy, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, stronger bones, reduced muscle cramping, and even a few migraines. | |
| But to experience these health benefits, you have to get the right kinds of magnesium. | |
| Truth is, most magnesium supplements you find in health stores use the only two cheapest synthetic forms. | |
| They're not full spectrum. | |
| There are actually seven unique forms of magnesium. | |
| You must get all of them if you want to experience its calming, stress-relieving effects. | |
| That's why I recommend magnesium breakthrough from Buy Optimizers. | |
| It's the only full organic, full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes seven unique forms of magnesium for stress relief, better sleep all in one bottle. | |
| Simply take two capsules before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels. | |
| And how much more rest did you feel when you wake up? | |

Food Shortages and Disney Subsidies
00:04:18
|
|
| Why are the people in charge of our government talking about how food shortages are going to be coming? | |
| It's really weird. | |
| Play cut 73. | |
| There's a very real risk that soaring global market prices of food and fertilizer will result in more people going hungry, further exacerbate inflation, and harm government fiscal and external positions. | |
| And we are doing everything we can. | |
| What are we supposed to do about food shortages? | |
| That's a good question. | |
| You know, we have multiple different things that are happening right now, whether it be on the inflation front, the open border front, our ability to just be able to produce basic food. | |
| The global finance meeting focuses on war-driven food insecurity. | |
| This is national public radio. | |
| Global finance leaders are putting the growing crisis over food insecurity and skyrocketing food prices at Senate stage. | |
| Members of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meet in Washington and grapple with the brutal effects of Russia's war against Ukraine. | |
| Now, before Russia ever invaded Ukraine, we were warning about food shortages here on this program. | |
| We were saying that because of China restricting the importation of yellow phosphorus into America, that food shortages very well might be coming very soon. | |
| That there will be a fertilizer issue when it comes into our country. | |
| And we're starting to see that play out right now. | |
| Now, are food shortages by design? | |
| I certainly hope not. | |
| But it does show that if you are not, and this is one of the reasons why we partner with my Patriot Supply at preparewithkirk.com, if you're not able to feed your family in times of crisis, then you're only going to succumb to the supply chains that are going to be highly disrupted. | |
| I want to just praise Ron DeSantis further. | |
| The fact that he is pushing back against Disney is totally and completely remarkable. | |
| Disney, which receives a $600 million tax benefit from the state of Florida, has now come out and they're obviously opposing what DeSantis is doing. | |
| This will cost Disney about $200 million a year, where Disney is now going to be punished for their hyper-woke educational agenda towards children. | |
| Now, the Florida Senate passed this yesterday, a $200 million penalty, but it's not even a penalty. | |
| Instead, it's a $200 million restoration is really what it is. | |
| It was previously a carve-out. | |
| It previously was a special benefit, a subsidy for the Disney Empire. | |
| And Ron DeSantis stands up against it and says, you know what? | |
| We're not going to continue to subsidize Disney. | |
| And this is the collegefix.com, which is another one, where DeSantis signs a bill limiting tenure at Florida public universities. | |
| Why isn't every Republican governor in the country doing what Ron DeSantis is doing? | |
| That's some food for thought. | |
| It certainly is. | |
| Now, as we look at what's happening in our country right now, I think it's important to take a step back and ask about some of the other trends and how they're all playing together. | |
| Are we still living under a regime of fear, or is there now a restoration of individual spirit of liberty, of entrepreneurship, and trying to be forward-thinking in a more positive sense? | |
| I can tell you right now, especially from some of the reactions to the repealing of the mask mandates, that there's a remarkable, there's a huge group of people right now that are ready to push back against what we have seen as the overarching, overbearing, heavy hand of government. | |

Carville on Republicans in Twilight Zone
00:07:28
|
|
| You have James Carville, though, who's supposed to be a smart person, saying a majority of Republicans are weirdos in the Twilight Zone. | |
| Democrat strategist James Carville said on MSNBC that, quote, of course, this party, about a third of them, are pulling for Russia, which is just insane. | |
| Yes, he wants people that will be compliant to his worldview, which is tax cut for the richest people in the world and tax the poor people, which isn't a very smart idea. | |
| But the problem is that they're a weird political party, says James Carville, who could be mistaken for an extraterrestrial alien. | |
| They need to be branded as such. | |
| These 26 QAnon people, all right, they're not necessarily the extreme. | |
| These are people talking about testicle tanning. | |
| No, they're not. | |
| Gosh. | |
| These are people who want to go to Hungary for conferences. | |
| Hungary is actually really nice. | |
| These are not normal people, James Carville says. | |
| By and large, a large part of the Republican Party is just out and out weird. | |
| When you have Moscow Mitch saying we need more sane people, that means you have a lot of crazy people. | |
| James Carville finishes by saying the weirdos are becoming a majority. | |
| You look at their commentators. | |
| They're actually pulling for Russia. | |
| You look at Rick Scott's tax plan. | |
| He wants to tax another 75 million people. | |
| He wants to tax the hotel maids. | |
| They don't pay enough. | |
| This is all just complete propaganda. | |
| It's just not true. | |
| James Carville says their life is too easy. | |
| Working in nursing home facilities, they need to just pay taxes. | |
| You're too young to remember, but the Twilight Zone, they're out there in the Twilight Zone. | |
| Well, look, Rod Sterling, Who was the host of the Twilight Zone? | |
| I think would completely disagree. | |
| New story out here. | |
| Experts say that the defund police movement led to a massive spike in black murders. | |
| The immediate aftermath of George Floyd, and you can go back to our videos and our podcasting. | |
| We predicted this entire thing on our program, that there would be a significant and brutal spike in black murders and black-on-black violence, otherwise known as what is the Ferguson effect that Heather McDonald came in our program and talked about. | |
| We should have Heather McDonald back on our show. | |
| According to Fox News, in 2019, at least 7,484 black Americans were murdered. | |
| The number shot up to at least 9,941 in 2020, meaning there was an increase of 2,400 more black people murdered over the previous year. | |
| The number of black murders was also far higher than white murders in 2020. | |
| The Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that 7,000 white people were murdered that year, meaning 2,898 more black people were killed compared to whites. | |
| But who's killing them? | |
| It's black on black crime. | |
| It's not white people killing them. | |
| Between 2010 and 2019, there was an average of 5,594 white murders, which is roughly 16% lower than the 10-year average of black murders. | |
| During that same time period, an average of 6,927 black Americans were murdered each year, meaning black murders shot up by 43% in 2020 compared to the previous 10-year average. | |
| The St. Louis police chief, Sam Dotson, coined the increase, the Ferguson effect, in November 2014, and the theory gained widespread attention in 2016, according to the PJ Media. | |
| After the Manhattan Institute, Heather McDonald wrote the opinion, where the Black Lives Matter narrative about racist homicidal cops is produced, hostility in the streets. | |
| So the more BLM gets taken seriously in their national real estate hedge fund practices, the more dangerous black communities actually become. | |
| Now, of course, BLM is silent now when they're confronted with data showing a massive 2020 spike in black murder victims. | |
| Black Lives Matter organization did not respond to Fox News' digital request. | |
| Of course not. | |
| Now, BLM is under massive scrutiny right now for nonprofit fraud. | |
| I could tell you, as someone who runs a nonprofit, they are, it's not even a political issue. | |
| The fact they don't want to fill out 990s and very basic information, like, where's your headquarters? | |
| They bought a multi-million dollar mansion, BLM did, in Los Angeles, which is supposed to be a black space for creators, a safe space for black creators. | |
| They bought a mansion in Canada. | |
| We've known this for a while, yet white woke liberals, including white woke pastors, which we've called out time and time again, people like Andy Stanley, people like Rick Warren, people like that guy in Dallas, used to be super popular. | |
| I can't remember. | |
| Oh, Chandler. | |
| That's right. | |
| I think his name's Chandler. | |
| They were all into the BLM thing. | |
| People like Levi Lusko, people like Judas Smith, all these pastors call themselves pastors. | |
| Maybe they are. | |
| I really don't think they are, but okay, whatever. | |
| They were all quick to be the white savior liberals for the black community, yet they have now participated in more black people actually being dead. | |
| Good job, white liberals. | |
| We knew this was going to be the case. | |
| If you actually want to save black people's lives, more police, harsher sentences for criminals, school choice for black kids, and cleaning up the streets of crime and drugs. | |
| You don't have to overthink this. | |
| We've seen this happen before. | |
| But defunding the police, again, this is so, we don't have to focus on this or dwell on this. | |
| It shouldn't have to be like, wow, you defund the police, there's more criminals on the streets. | |
| But now there's 2,500 more dead black people than before the increase. | |
| So it's not just like more. | |
| There's a 2,500%, 2,500% increase. | |
| Now, BLM was never about this. | |
| BLM was about getting rich, buying mansions, taking care of their own, having their own very corrupt left-wing infrastructure, try to get out the vote for Joe Biden. | |
| And the people that pulled it off, Patrice Colors and all these people, they're getting away with it, obviously. | |
| We'll see. | |
| We'll see to this point. | |
| But I don't, again, the kind of criminals that ran BLM, those black women, whatever. | |
| They are what they are. | |
| I'm more focused on the white liberals that thought they were doing the right thing by donating to BLM, by putting the flag outside. | |
| And remember, it was a pressure cooker. | |
| You lock down the country, you devoid people of purpose, no more sports. | |
| They need something. | |
| Floyd happens and it unleashes into this massive summer long of riots, destruction, arson, death, Kenosha burns, parts of Atlanta burn. | |
| We see New York City totally vandalized, Los Angeles vandalized, and parts of New York still have not recovered from the riots. | |
| They haven't. | |
| Parts of New York City have still not recovered from the race riots. | |
| So more black people are dead. | |
| Communities are less safe. | |
| Rich people are richer than ever before. | |
| Did the BLM agenda actually achieve what you thought it would achieve? | |
| BLM raised $90 million in one year. | |
| Imagine if BLM used that money to actually go build schools with good teachers for black kids. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| Instead, put simply, BLM participated in the killing of black people directly. | |
| We should be unafraid to say that. | |
| For a couple of years now, people have been setting up a contest between crypto and gold, but that's like comparing a truck with an SUV. | |
| Both carry stuff and travel from A to B, but they do different jobs. | |
| Gold's job is to keep the value of your money safe and preserve its value. | |
| And since Ukraine, the oil and the inflation crisis has done a brilliant job compared to stocks and other investments. | |

| And here's all the nonsense about him and, you know, protests expected. | |
| So this article had part of that. | |
| But I have to say, this guy that wrote this article here, Carter Walker from the Lancaster Online, says here, quote, Nicole Hannah Jones, comma, Charlie Kirk, visiting Lancaster this week to present differing visions of America. | |
| I totally agree. | |
| Nicole Hannah Jones, of course, is a con artist. | |
| She's a racist and a liar. | |
| She is the author and the chairwoman of the dishonest, anti-historical, ahistorical 1619 project. | |
| The New York Times Pulitzer prize-winning 1619 project, right, of course, sure, which traced economic and political inequality in the current era to the arrival of enslaved Africans in Virginia 400 years ago. | |
| Now, the 1619 project does not use original source documents. | |
| The 1619 project has been widely criticized by historians of all different political backgrounds, but still the 1619 project gets taken seriously because in order to frame the revolution that is necessary now, they must try to disconnect people with their past. | |
| Now, mind you, they said Charlie has made his name as a provocateur, encouraging college students to report, look, whatever. | |
| They have all this sort of stuff. | |
| That's fine. | |
| They could attack me all they want. | |
| I'll defend all that. | |
| But more importantly, I do want to say, though, that we do have different visions for America. | |
| Nicole Hanna-Jones believes the Constitution is racist. | |
| I believe the Constitution is the greatest political document ever written. | |
| Nicole Hanna-Jones cares about skin color. | |
| I don't care about skin color. | |
| Nicole Hanna-Jones believes the American founders were racist because Nicole Hanna-Jones will never debate me about why it is that Thomas Jefferson actually led for the abolition of slavery as governor of Virginia in the 1790s. | |
| Why is it that Thomas Jefferson actually banned the importation of new slaves as one of his first acts as president, I believe in March of 1807? | |
| Why is it the first anti-slavery convention ever convened was in 1775, which was chaired by Benjamin Franklin, which was an abolition slavery convention? | |
| Why is that Virginia, I'm sorry, Vermont abolished slavery in the year 1776, inspired by the Declaration of Independence, 1777, 76, right on the cusp. | |
| Why is it that nine out of 13 of the colonies of the United States had abolished slavery leading into the Constitutional Convention? | |
| Nicole Hannah Jones, tell me about the Northwest Ordinance. | |
| What does Article 6 say of the Northwest Ordinance? | |
| Why is it that every single colony agreed that the new territory, therefore being a projection of the values shared by the nation, would be free territories? | |
| If the American nation was a slave nation at the founding, like the dishonest lying hack propagandist Nicole Hannah Jones claims, why is it that every single member of the American Continental Congress, every state, voted that in the new Northwest territories, every single one would be free territories? | |
| Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota. | |
| Why is that? | |
| Why is that a Northwest Ordinance demand that people would be free? | |
| Why is it that John Quincy Adams was such a believer in the abolition of slavery that after his one term as president of the United States, went and re-ran for president of the United States, the son of John Adams, and became a vocal abolitionist and even contested for the liberation of slaves in what is known as the Amistad slavery ship story? | |
| Why is that, Nicole Hannah Jones? | |
| She won't answer any of those questions. | |
| She uses secondary source documents that have been invalidated by historians because Nicole Hanna-Jones is necessary for a political revolution today. | |
| If you can get people to feel ashamed of their past and unclear about where they're from, they'll be more likely to burn what they currently are living through. | |
| So this article is spot on. | |
| Nicole Hannah Jones and Charlie Kirk do have different visions for America. | |
| I believe in one that doesn't care about skin color. | |
| She does. | |
| I believe in one that respects American history. | |
| She's an arsonist of history. | |
| So we'll both have fun in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this weekend. | |
| We'll see who draws a bigger crowd and who's willing to actually take questions from critical audience members. | |
