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 gonna end up miserable.
But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
You gotta stop sending your kids to college.
You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Go start a turning point, you would say college chapter.
Go start attorney point, you'll say high school chapter.
Go find out how your church can get involved.
Sign up and become an activist.
I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.
Here I am, Lord use me.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
Andrew Colvet, executive producer of this show.
I now am joined by Blake Neff, our not so secret weapon.
And uh we're honored to have uh 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 uh pleasure of going on last night and talking about some really important things.
And uh, 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 uh being with you.
Thank you for being on News Nation.
And I'm very sorry uh for the loss of your friend, Charlie.
Thank thank you for that.
And I know that I know that you are, um, because you've expressed it to me personally and you've gone out of your way to do so.
And I think that uh, you know, deserves credit to where it's due because a lot of people, you know, the f the first things they reached out to are all about business.
It's all about what does this mean?
And and uh when people come and their first their first comment is, I'm sorry for your loss, and uh, you know, I feel for you, and and you have nice things to say about Charlie, who I know we we you and he and we disagree about the politics of it all.
We have a lot of different opinions and all that stuff.
Um, but one thing that I noticed about you, Chris, and we talked about it a little bit last night is you know, there it there can be a lot made of the who.
You know, uh who 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 hit what he was about was picking up a microphone.
And it's a great line.
Uh, and it is a a perfect encapsulation of an evolving fundamentalism in our country and uh the extremism that we see that is uh turbocharged by social media that is monetized uh within our politics and digital media that is capitalized on by this toxic two-party system.
Uh, this is bad directionally, and what scared me most uh after the 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.
Uh 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 butt.
No butt.
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 agree with everything that he said.
Charlie and I uh were very plain about our disagreements.
Uh, but uh not Attacking him personally, not attacking how he tried to present himself.
Uh, 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-shocked, we're watching the whole world uh change Blake, you know.
I I think about this often with Blake that that he was there, uh, a few feet away from Charlie.
And you know, imagine our world and Blake's world as well.
Uh 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 what we saw 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 there that happens so often, and that's not even getting into the darker stuff.
I mean, I got 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 I don't 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 um 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, uh, with you, is I see that people are 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 um paid off by APAC, you know, whatever silly conspiracy somebody wants.
Um 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 the own your own narrative, you know.
Well, yeah, I mean, listen, we're you know, we just announced that we're gonna 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 Amphest that's gonna 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 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 ideas, uh ideals of debate and dialogue.
That's how I feel.
Uh, and you know, listen, we have a sacred duty to 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 the controversies.
We can't get dragged down these these rabbit holes online and the 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 is an opportunity for a vacuum and a void to be created where other people will rush in.
But we, especially Blake being a a witness, uh, 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 uh complacency or laziness or lack of caring.
We care.
If you think you care, we care more.
Let me just assure you.
Go ahead.
Um, what you have any questions for me?
Yeah.
I always thought it would be fun, and I'll come back another time if you want, brother.
Uh and for you guys to like show me where we disagree.
Um where you think that I'm so different.
No, no, no.
Listen, I listen, I know that you have charted your own course after the CNN days, and I've I've been really excited to see it, especially with COVID.
Uh, and you're you're you know, you say that conversation is a cure.
I think Charlie would 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 uh the Patrick Bet David for hours.
Yeah.
So and he by the way, he came he came away from that, Chris, and he said, No, Chris is a really like he's a really decent guy in person, like I really enjoyed meeting him.
And uh so I mean it was all all positive, positive vibes.
But Chris, I'm gonna keep you.
I like that, you know.
I didn't I I didn't agree with some of his things.
The one thing I wish Charlie had 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, Yeah, and he said to me, and I've said this, I I've I've said this now.
People think I'm lying, but whatever.
Um, he said to me, that'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 uh 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 Colvet from the Charlie Kirk Show here with Preserve Gold.
You've heard Charlie talk about the importance of embracing faith and being good stewards of everything the Lord has entrusted to us, which includes finances.

We work exclusively with preserved gold for precious metal needs and recommend them to friends, family, and viewers.
That's why preserved gold is giving away a no cost, no obligation free wealth protection kit.

My experience with racists, okay.
You got three kinds, okay?
You got dummies, okay.
Um, right, people who are ignorant, uh, didn't get exposed to diversity or 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 uh 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.
Um, and I see it being abused now, just like calling people on uh Nazis or saying that Trump is Hitler.
You cheapen the profound nature of the world.
Well, to be fair though, Chris, just to be to be fair, people have been mislabeling people as racist for, you know, i basically as long as I've been an adult, uh probably much more before that.
Sometimes it ran and a lot of times they're not.
It ramped up a lot in the last I would say ten, fifteen 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 rage.
There's no weaponized.
You are right.
You are right.
And what matters or should matter, it did 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 the you know, guns or whatever it is where you think that we disagree?
And I think I think it's a really great exercise.
Um we we don't want to do that.
Instead, I want to say, oh, that Andrew is a cuck, and you know, that blade 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 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'm saying, yeah, I would.
Yes, no, you wouldn't.
I you know what's funny.
I I have this.
I I don't know if this is bad to bring up, but one of the images of you in my head uh was you know, somebody came at you in in public.
It was in real life, and it I think the clip went viral for a little bit, and and you got this guy's face.
Like you, you know, I remember thinking like, well, you don't want to mess with Chris.
I'll give you 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's 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 store 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.
I and 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 gonna 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 the show before, and the question was posed, and then 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 res 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.
It is 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 radiometer has swung the pendulum, right?
Everything is pendular in our politics.
Why?
Two choices.
The binary nature.
So the rage was on the right.
That's what launched and birthed MAGA.
Uh, 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 uh perceived cultural victimization.
Um, which they grab onto in Gaza as well as 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.
Well, 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 answers 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.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Yeah, and I I would say that you know, uh, to Charlie's credit, because Charlie gets lumped in with this Charlie Kirk destroys Lib and all this stuff, and I get it.
There, those videos are out there on social media.
But 90%, Chris, of his interactions on campus were calm, patient.
One of the most common things that we saw, especially as he got older, 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, so many of these kids.
And that was became the most common comment that we would see on social media.
Like, Charlie, how do you as well?
And me as well.
That's that's why I found to your point.
To your point, those didn't always go as viral as the is the fiery exchanges.
And that's never that's something that's cooked into our our basic wiring.
Floor is yours to finish it, finish this up.
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 they 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.
Yeah, it's that's 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 is like give you reasons to hate people.
We got all we gotta, we gotta wrap it up, Chris.
Uh that was that was a really interesting conversation.
Thank you so much.
Good to be with you.
This is the Charlie Kirk show.
We are all about saving babies with pre-born.
There are 24,836 kindergartners 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 dollars gives five mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies.
280 dollars can save 10 babies, and just 28 dollars 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 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 opportunity is just a phone call or click away.
Call 833-850-229, or click on the pre-born banner at Charlie Kirk.com.
So, uh, you know, I used to always notice this when uh Charlie would get to like certain segments, and he just could was like, hey, I don't even know anything about what I'm talking about here, but You guys do, so and he would like love it because it was not on him.
So we're gonna be talking about uh pop culture, controversies, Taylor Swift, uh Zach Bryan, all the things, but first Mikey McCoy uh has some news for us.
Yeah.
So obviously we announced the halftime show today.
Halftime, the all-American halftime show.
And so that uh initially there's a little bit of confusion because they were like, is this you know the Force Frank Corey's Asbury halftime show?
Is this is this the same thing?
People were 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.
I mean, I do I do just want to say really quick.
The the the original seed of the idea came from a joke from Jack Basobic.
I just want to say that does Jack does sort of get the to claim first dibs here.
But anyways, continue.
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 ten minutes ago I just jumped off a call with Corey, and um 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.
Yeah, collaborate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so that is our desire.
And so it sounds like we're gonna be building a bridge there.
Oh, well, we can't get a hold of ourselves.
But listen, the good news is is that like people that love Jesus, people that are concerned about the things of the Lord, um there is no friction.
Okay.
There is only only linking arms and um I mean, that has been Erica's one guiding principle.
Well, 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 uh the name of Jesus made great in our land again.
And so that was a really positive step.
Good job.
I think I knew nothing about that.
I knew nothing that there was like like competing things.
I think I was complet I was w 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, what 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.
Um a lot of people that really love this country, like Blake Neff was like, I'm not gonna stream Bad Bunny music.
Or maybe you do.
Do you secretly?
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, you know, to to fight for what we believe in, is the stronger we are.
Yeah, 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 the way 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 gonna say, okay, so what are we talking about?
Let's get this.
Let's take so uh Raina.
So Daisy is of course a Taylor Swift fan.
I also would like to say I do have some other interests.
I know I really only come on the show to talk about Taylor Swift, but I'm not sure.
I do have to do that.
I feel like I only ever talked to her about Taylor Swift.
But this is obviously a recurring thing.
Uh Charlie had very strong thoughts on Taylor Swift's celebrity and her relationship with that, you know, the Pfizer guy.
Travis Kelsey.
That but now she has a new album out, and uh Daisy's going to tell us there's like very interesting developments in how the Swift is.
Well, we did talk about this once already.
So she talks about just wanting to have the white picket fence in the family.
Well, so that's 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 uh almost it's been a week since it came out, almost a week since we had that conversation, and she is getting cancelled by her own side.
She people have found a lot of different lyrics that are microaggression, microaggression.
This reminds me this reminds me of when uh that Z gal from uh the Unf America tour uh 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 uh 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 term like in the most idiotic ways.
And then separately, she's getting uh slammed for her racist.
And what's the what's the black rock?
So okay.
Okay, topaz.
Let's show some of the clips just so we can set the one of those set up.
We have a montage of the left cancel.
We have let's let's just start with uh this is a couple of um, let's do one eighteen.
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 families did not like being called uh childless cat ladies.
And and now Taylor is calling y'all childless cat ladies.
So either the life of a showgirl is one big racist homophobic dog whistle, or everyone has lost their absolute minds.
Apparently, singing about your new fiance is endorsing eugenics now.
And the song cancelled is a MAGA anthem.
The Hamlet character Ophelia, a happy ending instead of a tragic one is an endorsement of the patriarchy.
The song Opalite 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 to the city.
So there's there's a couple things that are going on.
One, there's a song called Oatpalite.
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 I I just have to say I 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 and we have- I think that happened a few times with Charlie talking about Taylor.
Yeah, we are getting twisted.
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 Opalite, Taylor is referencing Travis Kelsey's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole.
The lyrics of Opalite include you were dancing through the lightning strikes, sleepless in the onyx night.
But now the sky is opalite.
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.
This is Yeah.
So it it gets even it gets even worse, Taylor's apparent racism because she has in Wish list, 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 mini mini themes 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 B. We can interpret what that means.
I'm not a savage, which that is a microaggression.
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 Blake, how many times do does a progressive need to get burned by the insane progressive people before they learn that the 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 just be humiliated over and over, like massively hated, and they'll just they'll never quite.
But how did I know that you were never like that in?
So it's also what I think is so crazy about this because in in her song Cancelled, which one of the videos mentioned, it's about how she likes her friends better being canceled.
It's widely speculative that's about Brittany Mahomes who has been associated with conservative principles, the alt-right movement.
We should and Well, speaking of the alt-right move, or do you have a sorry I didn't remember?
Well, I was just gonna 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 to mention she this album is incredibly raunchy, like not kid friendly.
What's this?
She wants to get married.
Maybe she'll get cancelled so hard that it'll actually push her to the right.
Well, then Charlie AD Vance.
It's getting fulfilled.
Yeah, it are in our midst.
We should play 123, though.
This is this is a critique of her uh album being Republican coded.
123.
Because it's it obviously is.
And if you can't realize that, you're a victim of the media literacy crisis.
If only for the song cancelled, 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 joy, and basically just kind of being a housewife.
Those are Republican virtues.
Those are Republican virtues.
We'll take them.
I'll take them.
We'll take it as well.
American families.
That's all just like that.
If she if she can go on a tour and if she announces that she is going to go on tour as Taylor Kelsey, I think the dream is coming true.
Her fan base will explode.
I uh 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 ReFi.

Go to why Refi.com.
That is Y R E F Y dot 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 you said peace and joy.
These are obviously Republican governments.
You know those Republicans.
They like kids and family.
I hope this isn't like a downer.
But Blake and I's last text exchange with Charlie was about monogamy.
And we're 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 uh building of civilization.
Uh it's just a when when I heard him say monogamy, Republican value, I was like, how did how did like 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 to this conclusion from that they are against settling down and having a faith.
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 trad wife family with some blue haired, blue-haired 20-year-old girl living in the city.
This is normalizing uh patently insane people and we need to actually return to the t taboo culture of yesteryear.
All we want, we don't want handmaid's tale, we just want the nineties.
That's all we want.
Yeah, the nineties, which maybe is a good inspiration for our halftime 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?
Uh I wouldn't want to assume.
Okay.
All right, we have more pop culture controversies, including Zach Bryan.
Uh what's the neck what's the next controversy we need to be educated on?
Zach Bryan 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 Bryan already is just not a good guy.
I I think that's pretty well known.
I think we talked about this.
I've also never heard of Zach Bryan until this week.
He's a massive country singer.
Incredibly talented.
Daisy, Daisy King.
What what happened with him and Brianna Chicken Fry?
Yes.
So he publicly dated Brianna.
That was his former girlfriend.
Chicken Fry's not actually her last name.
That's what we call it.
It goes by Brianna Chicken Fry.
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.
Do we trust her?
Um in this story, yes, she I like I don't think she's a fan of us in any way, but she very publicly has said that he offered her twelve million dollars to go away to never talk about him publicly again.
That's just an extortion right now.
Also took the same deal.
Not 12 million dollars, but he's been married to he was um in the military, was married, got divorced, and 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're turning down twelve million dollars to publicly hate on someone is some pretty nuclear level hatred.
Yes.
A woman scorned, Blake, a woman scorned.
So Daisy knows it.
He and he's always been pretty liberal, especially after all the Bud Light stuff happened.
I want to say that he the uh the we were conservatives were canceling Bud Light, and I think he pretty publicly said Bud Light was going to be the soul beer he drank on his tour.
I'm I'm 90% sure.
He's about five five in person.
I actually don't get mad.
My wife bought me a ticket.
Sure.
I went to the concert.
Oh, this is how it's gonna be.
All right.
She bought it for me for the table.
I did not go to a chair.
Can we rush print a Zach Bryan number one fan shirt for Andrew?
I I do not have that.
I told you how to make it the first thing that I saw when I so I enter the arena and uh he's it's kind of done in the round, so he kind of moves around, he kind of points to all directions.
And uh the first thing I noticed is that he had heels like on his shoes.
Of course, like this, like there were like bono heels he used to do that too.
Uh and he's legit, he's just a very tiny person.
He pro I mean five, four, five 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 just 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 uh there's clearly weren't extorting him because they turned down the money.
Yeah.
Um he always starts fights with cops when they're literally being so chill with him.
He Morgan Wallin?
No, Zach Sorry.
No, no, Zach Bryant.
Oh, he got He got arrested for interfering with a traffic stop, and he told the officer, I'm just 20 uh I'm just a twenty-seven-year-old kid, man.
Uh, okay.
Yeah, he I think he it's pretty well known that he's not the best guy.
He's also pretty uh liberal.
Yes.
And so I also have Christine Ohm 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, um, I didn't listen to your music.
Um I'm happy about that today.
Today that makes me very happy that I never once gave you a single penny uh to enrich your lifestyle if you truly believe what that song stands for.
But I am gonna go out and probably download some Jason Aldean songs, John Rich songs, so party, kid rock, any of those guys, those guys know what it means to stand up for Freedom.
Okay.
You can't say the same thing that Christine Ohm said, that she's never given a penny to Zach Bryan to support him.
I can't say it.
But Zach Bryan.
My wife say all of you are less pure than me because you had heard of Zach Bryan.
That is true.
No, he is incredibly talented.
I can't believe you guys will just go.
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 person.
So he responds, though.
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 that's the end of our pop culture power half hour.
Let us know what you think about Zach Bryan.
Freedom at Charlie Kirk.com and send us who you want to see at the halftime show, the all-American halftime show.
