The Left Turns on Taylor Swift?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
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'll end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
You got to stop sending your kids to college.
You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
Go start a Turning Point USA 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 Colvett, executive producer of this show.
I now am 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 NewsNation, 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 NewsNation.
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 deserves credit to where it's due because a lot of people, the first things they reached out to are all about business.
It's all about what does this mean.
And when people come and their first comment is, I'm sorry for your loss.
And I feel for you.
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 it a little bit last night, is, you know, there can be a lot made of the who.
You know, who did this?
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, we're 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.
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?
Yeah, look, it's wrong to kill somebody, but no, no, no, no.
No, but.
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 I'm 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-shocked.
We're watching the whole world change.
Blake, you know, I think about this often with Blake, 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 celebrations.
We saw this, the yeah, but what it really manifested was this immediate race 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 happens 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.
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 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 AIPAC, 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 ideas, 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, 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 an opportunity for a vacuum and a void 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?
Yeah.
I always thought it would be fun, and I'll come back another time if you want, brother.
And for you guys to show me where we disagree.
Yeah.
Why do you think that I'm so different?
No, no, no.
Listen, listen, I know that you have charted your own course after the CNN days, and I've been really excited to see, especially with COVID.
And you say that conversation is a cure.
I think Charlie would agree with that.
You guys, Charlie never actually got to go on your show.
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 Patrick Bett David for hours.
Yeah.
So, and he, by the way, he came, he came away from that, Chris, and he said, No, Chris, he's a really decent guy in person.
Like, I really enjoyed meeting him.
And so, I mean, it was all positive, positive vibes.
But, Chris, I want to keep my life back.
You know, 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 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 Colvett 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.
As our national debt passes $37 trillion, the U.S. dollar is losing value.
Like countless Americans, we are turning to alternative assets like physical gold and silver, which have helped protect against currency devaluation throughout the ages.
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.
Don't wait, call or text them today.
Call 855-478-8963 or text Charlie to 50505.
Learn how to put physical gold and silver into a retirement account or purchase for delivery directly to your home.
And you can get up to $20,000 in free gold and silver with a qualified purchase.
Call 855-478-8963 or text Charlie to 50505.
My experience with racists, okay, you got three kinds.
Okay.
You got dummies, okay?
Right?
People who are ignorant, didn't get exposed to diversity or they're just dummies.
Okay.
That's one.
The second kind are the people who aren't aware that their behaviors or their words or both are suggestive of a prejudice, that 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 of the world.
To be fair, though, Chris, just to be fair, people have been mislabeling people as racist for, you know, basically as long as I've been an adult, probably much longer before that.
Sometimes it ramped up.
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 racism.
There's no weaponized.
You are right.
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, oh, 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 place 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.
Yeah, I would.
No, you wouldn't.
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, look, 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.
I 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.
Because it is concerning.
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 remember, this is September 12th through the 15th.
Don't worry, I'll walk you all through it if you can't read it.
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.
It is young conservatives.
Yeah, self-described are less likely than even 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 nature of it.
So the rage was on the right.
That's what launched and birthed 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.
Well, 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.
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%, 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 of these kids.
And that became the most common comment that we would see on social media.
Like, Charlie, how do you be as well?
And me as well.
That's why I'm going to be able to do that.
But to your point, to your point, those didn't always go as viral as the fiery exchanges.
And that's never.
That's something that's cooked into our basic wiring.
The floor is yours to finish it.
Never.
I mean, 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, 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 like giving reasons to hate people.
We got to wrap it up, Chris.
That was a really interesting conversation.
Thank you so much.
It's good to be here.
I'm taking the time.
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 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 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 833-850-2229 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.
So, 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 Bryan, 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 halftime.
American halftime show.
And so initially, there was a little bit of confusion because they were like, is this, you know, the Forrest Frank Corey Oz Asbury halftime show?
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 do just want to say really quick: the original seed of the idea came from a joke from Jack Pesovic.
I just want to say that Jack does sort of get to claim first dips 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, 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 ourselves.
No, no, no, no.
We can't get ahead of ourselves.
But listen, the good news is that 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.
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 the name of Jesus made great in our land again.
And so that was a really positive step.
Good job.
Amazing.
I knew nothing about that.
I knew nothing that there was like competing things.
I was wonderfully oblivious.
What's most important is that it wasn't even anyone's specific ideas.
It 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.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I don't know if Blake already knows.
I literally never heard of Bad Bunny until I'll just add this: a chord of three strings isn't easily broken.
And so the more of us that partner together, you know, to fight for what we believe in, 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 do that.
That's why we're going to Day Ambly 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?
Let's get this.
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 the show to talk about Taylor Swift, but I'm not sure.
I do.
I feel like I'll never 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 Kelson.
But now she has a new album out, and Daisy's going to tell us there's very interesting developments in how the Swift is a little bit different.
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 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 microaggressive.
Microaggression.
This reminds me of when that Z gal from the Un F America tour was trying to 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 term in the most idiotic ways.
And then separately, she's getting slammed for her racism.
And what's the BlackRock?
So, Topaz.
Let's show some of the clips just so we can set the video.
Do we have one of those set up?
We have a montage of the left cancel.
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 families 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 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 go ahead.
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 Opalite.
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.
Out of context, people taking your words and twisting them.
I think that happened a few times with Charlie talking about Taylor.
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.
So it gets even worse, Taylor's apparent racism, because she has, in Wishlist, 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 obviously not her saying she wants to have so many kids with her fiancé who she's in love with that she wants a bunch of mini-thems running around.
But no, she's very clearly being racist by that one.
Another one which took me a lot longer to understand, I still don't really understand it, in her song Eldest Daughter, she says, I'm not a bad bee.
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, how many times does a progressive need to get burned by the insane progressive people before they learn that you do not make common cause with these people?
Evidence I've seen from when I have investigated this is, unfortunately, it is infinity.
Some people can just be humiliated over and over, massively hated, and they'll just never quite get it.
How did I know that you were just going to nail that in?
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, but are being canceled.
It's widely speculated.
That's about Brittany Mahomes, who has been associated with conservative principles, the alt-right movement.
Well, speaking of the alt-right movement, or do you have a, sorry, I didn't remember.
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 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.
Not to mention, this album is incredibly raunchy, like, not kid-friendly.
Isn't there something about a magic wand?
She wants to get married.
Maybe she'll get canceled so hard that it'll actually push her to the right way.
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 a 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 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 if she can go on a tour and she announces that she is going to go on tour as taylor kelsey i think oh i'll buy things coming her fan base will explode i uh i just want to apologize to the audience for
playing that young man I'm sorry.

My sincerest apologies to you all.
I know that was appalling for you.
I just can't get over it.
He said, peace and joy.
These are obviously Republican people.
You know those Republicans.
They like kids, family, you know.
I hope this isn't like a downer, but Blake and I's 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.
When I heard him say monogamy, Republican value, I was like, 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 liked 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 faithfulness.
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 spikes 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 30-year-old girl living in the city.
This is normalizing patently insane people.
Yes.
And we need to actually return to the taboo culture of yesteryear.
All we want.
We don't want handmade stale.
We just want the 90s.
That's all we want.
Give me the 90s, 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?
I wouldn't want to assume.
Okay.
All right.
We have more pop culture controversies, including Zach Bryan.
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, and 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 think that's pretty well known.
We talked about this.
I've also never heard of Zach Bryan.
He's a massive country singer.
Incredibly talented.
Daisy King.
What happened?
I've been with him and Brianna Chicken Fry.
Yes.
He publicly dated.
That was his former girlfriend.
Chicken Fry is not actually her last name.
Oh, that's what we call it.
She's funny if she was.
It goes by Brianna Chicken Fry.
They publicly dated for a long time.
Then Messy, Messy Breakup, she came out and said that he treated her incredibly terribly.
Very, very, very bad stuff about him.
And he offered.
In this story, yes, she, like, I don't think she's a fan of us in any way, but she very publicly said that he offered her $12 million to never talk about him publicly again.
And his wife also took the same deal.
Not $12 million.
Her wife's been married.
He was actually, he was 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 that he did.
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, were 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%.
By the way, he's about 5'5 in person.
I actually, don't get mad.
My wife bought me a ticket.
Sure.
I went to the concert.
Sure.
Oh, this is how it's going to be.
All right.
She bought it for me as a burglar shirt.
If you go to a tailor show, I did not go to a tail ship.
Can we rush a Zach Bryan number one fan shirt?
We need this.
I do not have that.
We'll have to make it.
The first thing that I saw when I entered the arena, and it's kind of done in the round, so he kind of moves around.
He kind of points to all directions.
And the first thing I noticed is that he had heels on his shoes.
Of course.
Like this.
There were bono heels he used to do that too.
And he's legit.
He's just a very tiny person.
I mean, 5'4, 5'5.
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.
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 Wallen?
No, sorry.
No, no, Zach Bryan.
He got arrested for interfering with a traffic stop, and he told the officer, I'm just a 27-year-old kid, man.
Okay.
Yeah, I think it's pretty well known that he's not the best.
The best guy.
He's also pretty liberal.
Yes.
And so I also have to say that.
So he has comments, though.
He's commented on this.
Well, we have Christine Noam 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 Aldean songs and John Rich songs.
So Kiddie, 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 Ohm said, that she's never given a penny to Zach Bryan.
I can't support him.
I can't say it.
But Zach Bryan.
My wife says 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 are just going to be incredibly talented.
I just thought he is when he's my wife is like, 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 the end of our pop culture power half hour.
Let us know what you think about Zach Bryan.
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 Bryan will win that one.
I don't think Zach Bryan's going to win.
Talk to you soon.
