Charlie Kirk is the founder of Turning Point USA and the New York Times bestselling author of The MAGA Doctrine. He is dedicated to empowering young people and promoting the principles of free markets and limited governments. In this episode, we discuss how men have become the enemy in society, the seduction and feminization of males, the dismantling of the family unit, and the power of free speech, and what we can do about it.
00:00:00.000Men, if you've been following me for any amount of time, you know that I believe that there is a real dismissal of men and masculinity in society today.
00:00:08.420Now, I'm hesitant to use the term, you know, war on masculinity or attack on masculinity because, well, I believe that words have meaning.
00:00:16.040That said, there are some very real threats, not only to men and boys, but the fabric of American culture and also Western civilization as a whole.
00:00:25.400And today I'm joined by a man who is working hard to fight against it. His name is Charlie Kirk, and he is the founder of turning point USA and the New York times bestselling author of the MAGA doctrine.
00:00:36.700Today, we discuss how men seem to have become the enemy in society, the sedation and feminization of males, emotional manipulation and cultural issues, such as the dismantling of the family unit, the power of free speech, and ultimately how the deck is stacked against men.
00:00:55.400And more importantly, what we can do about it.
00:00:57.540You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart your own path.
00:01:03.280When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time you are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.
00:01:12.800This is your life. This is who you are. This is who you will become at the end of the day.
00:01:18.000And after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.
00:01:21.980Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan Mickler, and I am the host and the founder of this podcast and the Order of Man Movement.
00:01:28.760Welcome here. Welcome back. I've got a very, very powerful conversation lined up for you today.
00:01:33.900Now, no doubt this is going to be a controversial one with somebody who tends to be controversial.
00:01:39.220I'm going to explain more about that because I don't think if you listen to what he's saying, it's all that controversial, but we'll get to that in a minute.
00:01:44.820Uh, if you're new to the podcast, this is a podcast designed to help you become a better man.
00:01:49.740So we're having conversations that are going to help you do just that. Some of them you're going to agree with others.
00:01:54.920You're not, but the whole goal and idea is that we have civil discourse and we start to hash out some of these important issues that we're facing as men and in society in general.
00:02:03.780Uh, before we get into the meat of the discussion, we're going to talk a lot about America and Western civilization.
00:02:08.660And on the subject of America, I want to introduce our show sponsors origin main.
00:02:15.520Now these guys make products, all kinds of products, Brazilian jujitsu, geese, rash guards, lifestyle apparel, denim boots.
00:02:24.120Uh, they've got a nutritional supplement called Jocko fuels, where they've got a pre-workout and, uh, uh, cognitive enhancing drink.
00:02:31.700I mean, they've got it all, they're doing everything. And actually we're going to start partnering up order of man and origin to bring a new product.
00:02:39.380That's all I can say right now, a new product to use. So stay tuned. In the meantime, I would suggest that you take a look at their American goods, specifically their denim and their boots.
00:02:49.660100% sourced and made in America, right. Had it right out of here, uh, in Maine, 20 minutes from my house. You can check it out.
00:02:57.080I like the bison boots specifically. And you can do that at origin, main.com origin, main.com and use the code order at checkout, because you're going to get a discount.
00:03:06.340When you do again, origin, main.com use the code order at discount at checkout. Rather, let me get that right.
00:03:14.300Order of man is the discount at checkout. There you go. All right, guys, let me introduce you to my guest today.
00:03:20.920His name is Charlie Kirk. Uh, many of you already know who he is. As I said earlier, uh, can be a very polarizing figure.
00:03:28.160And I, you know, I think if you listen to his message and what he shares and you try to strip away the preconceived biases and notions that we all have, I don't think what he shares is all that controversial at all.
00:03:38.840Uh, he's the founder and president of turning point USA, which is a movement dedicated to empowering young people to promote the principles of free markets and limited governments.
00:03:50.320Uh, and he's also the author of the New York times bestselling book, the MAGA doctrine, the only ideas that will win the future.
00:03:57.560And guys today, he is here to talk with us about his fight to save men and to save America.
00:04:04.200Charlie, what's up brother. Glad to be joining you today.
00:04:06.140Yeah. Thank you so much for having me.
00:04:09.900I got to admit, you look like you've been, uh, you've been running around quite a bit. I know we had to reschedule a couple of times and, uh, while I can appreciate that, but it seems like you're a busy man these days.
00:04:20.660Yeah. Doing a two podcasts today, one on Saturday, one on Sunday, trying to get the president reelected and still run turning point USA and turning point action and speaking. And so, but we're glad we made this work.
00:04:31.360How do you do it all, man? That's what, that's what I want to know. I've got, I've got four kids. I've been married for 16 years. I'm running two different businesses and, and I think I'm running about half of what you're running at. And even I feel overwhelmed. So, so tell me your secret.
00:04:46.400Well, the four kids, I don't know if I'd be able to do that. That sounds like quite a lot. Hopefully there'll be kids coming soon. Uh, I don't know who knew my life. I don't know. Um, but look the, I really, really love what I get to do.
00:05:00.020I don't love some of the things I have to do to do it, such as traveling. I don't like that. Uh, cross country flights, the sleepless nights, red eyes, you know, checking in a new hotel. I don't like that. The kind of the technical part of it, but I really love pursuing ideas. I love convincing people. I love being challenged. And that just motivates you. You know, I'm up till midnight, one o'clock, one 30 every night. And then just up, you know, seven o'clock, six 37. And, um, that's on a good night.
00:05:30.000That's sleeping in by the way. And, um, but we have a great team. I, uh, I'm very disciplined with how I spend my time. I really don't do anything that isn't pertinent to the mission. Uh, the only thing I would do, I'll work out five or six days a week. That's about it. But I don't do video games. You know, I don't really have leisure activities. You know, people say, what do you do for fun? I don't really do that. You know, uh, kind of just do the mission. And so when you're there, we actually have more
00:05:59.780time in a day than I think people realize. I think that most people waste so much time. Um, so yeah, I'm incredibly blessed. Wrote a book this year, made bestseller, you know, did the podcast thing. Now it's turning into a radio show. We were, we were doing three podcasts a week. Now we're doing 12 podcasts a week. Um, so yeah, not to mention the longer form interviews. And in a regular year, I'd be doing 300 speeches
00:06:29.780going to hit it this year for obvious reasons. Um, so, but I'm actually on pace. If I were to keep the pace I'm on right now, I would have been, I'd be doing more than 350. But no, look, I love what I get to do. I'm incredibly blessed and just very thankful.
00:06:43.960The term I use is integrated. And it sounds like you're very integrated with your work and your life. And there's not a bunch of different hats. Like a lot of men will talk about hats. I got to wear the family hat, the dad hat, the work hat. And I found in my own personal life that if I don't pretend like I'm wearing
00:06:59.740different hats, but instead say I'm one man, whether I'm at work, whether I'm with my family, whether I'm with my friends or in my own leisure activities, there's a lot of congruency and integration between the way I live my life. And that's much more efficient than trying to put on different hats and pretend like I'm somebody different in each circumstance.
00:07:17.420Yeah. And I, I have the opportunity to not have to be somebody different. I mean, one of the greatest gifts that God has given me is I say the same things publicly as I do privately, because that's, I'm in the business.
00:07:29.740I'm in the business of speaking and I'm in the business of idea advancement. So people come to me and they say, Charlie, and I'm going to lawyer at this law firm or partner. I own this business and I wish I could be you because you're able to say the same thing in a work setting that you're able to say in a private setting. And so that kind of, as you say, congruency, it's actually very liberating. I don't have to pretend to be somebody in a different environment.
00:07:52.740And also I just have decided to completely disassociate with myself with anyone that is any form of nastiness or vitriol just as a compulsory friendship. I've just discontinued those.
00:08:05.740It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. You say that because look, I, I see you in videos. I see you on the socials and you have immersed yourself in frankly, what I, what I would consider nastiness, frankly, you know, with, with the rallies you go to and on campus and what you subject yourself to.
00:08:23.480I don't know if I can handle it. Is that because of your mission? Is that your purpose? Like what keeps you going in those hostile environments?
00:08:33.660Yeah. I, I don't find, I actually kind of enjoy the idea collision because I actually think it's good for our country to have different ideas be presented against each other. I don't love being screened at by some of these apparatchiks. I mean, I'm not a sociopath, so it's not something I find enjoyment about.
00:08:50.160But I will say that I do think that it's beneficial when those conversations are occurring and happening, the millions of people that might be watching them in the future.
00:09:01.100So when I go to a campus and some lunatic is screaming in my ear and about how awful of a person I am and all these sorts of things, at least I can have some form of peace that if I'm filming it, somebody might learn something from this in the future.
00:09:16.380And so that, that kind of makes it in some ways worthwhile. However, I, I wish what I was saying wasn't so deemed disagreeable. I actually think what I'm saying is pretty normal stuff.
00:09:27.640And I, it's just the Overton window has changed so dramatically in our country that if you dare say there are only two genders or that there's a war on men or that we shouldn't judge people based on their skin color, you're all of a sudden deemed worthy of cancellation and outrage.
00:09:44.080And I obviously don't subscribe to that. So I, I, um, I think, and again, it's a mission driven thing. I, I actually really believe in this stuff, which is what drives me to continue to do it.
00:09:55.320You know, it's funny. You talk about these, uh, these ideas that I think, you know, 30, 40, 50 years ago, weren't controversial. You know, I think about myself. I have four kids. I already told you that I believe in God. I believe men are men and women are women. I believe in traditional family values.
00:10:11.760I wouldn't have thought that that would be counterculture. I've never considered myself a rebel, but it seems to me that more now more than ever that I'm the rebellious one because I have all of these, uh, traditional values. And it's a very interesting thing that, uh, these types of things that we know with a hundred percent certainty lead men and families and women in society to a better life have become controversial.
00:10:35.380That's right. And now all of a sudden, those of us that believe in taking responsibility for yourself and for your family, not blaming other people for your circumstances, applying yourself correctly, finding a good and moral aim. All of a sudden, this is considered to be controversial. And I think it's actually really dangerous for our country to do that. And for our civilization to do that.
00:11:00.740I mean, if you get, if you're now married and you are faithful, that person with children, you are now the exception, not the rule, right? That's really an incredible thing when you think about it. And it's also a very dangerous thing. And so you also asked early on, you know, how am I able to do it? It's also what I don't do. Um, I haven't had a drink in a very, very long time. You know, I think that we, if you look at successful people, obviously don't do drugs or any of that, but for myself,
00:11:29.440I would not be able to do what I do if I were to be doing the substances that most of the people in this world do. And, uh, I think that there's, there's a lesson here that a lot of people need to realize that there's a reason why they're trying to tell you to do alcohol all the time. There's a reason why they're trying to do that.
00:11:43.800And it's really to keep you down. And I think that you can actually become a much more, and again, I'm not actually morally against drinking. Let me be very clear. I'm not trying to make people feel bad if they're doing that. I'm purely talking about it from a utilitarian perspective.
00:11:56.280Just let me be very clear that I don't think I biochemically would be able to do what I do if I indulge in the same form of casual drinking that most of the country has been in the last six months in particular.
00:12:09.520Yeah, I agree. I think, uh, what a lot of men do is they sedate themselves because, you know, the reality of their situations are, are difficult and demanding and they learn from their parents and they learn from society because we have this entire generation of fatherless homes.
00:12:24.280Uh, how to respond to difficult circumstances, you know, and of all, all of us have difficult circumstances, whether it's the, the wake of COVID or, you know, we've lost a job or we deal with a family with a, with a medical condition.
00:12:39.160It's, it's, it's such a travesty that so many men have not learned to address this in a positive manner and instead have learned that the way you deal with it is to sedate yourself. And that's what I see more and more of.
00:12:52.800Yeah. And nothing good happens after you're drunk. And that's a lot of people that make it is a, it is truly, and I hate to use this term because it's overused. It's a gateway to other bad things. You will make other discuss, you'll have to say things you don't mean you might hurt somebody.
00:13:08.220You don't mean to hurt both physically or otherwise. And then it also makes you less responsible, more likely to fall into a pattern of behavior that you're not going to be able to take responsibility for your actions.
00:13:19.400And again, I'm not morally against it. I want to be very clear. I'm not trying to make anyone, you know, feel worse if they're doing that thing. I'm just saying it actually will make you in the longterm, a much unhappier, much more unhappy and less likely to be able to take the meaningful type of responsibility you need to in your life to be able to succeed.
00:13:38.540Yeah. I like this because I think what we hear a lot from, you know, the quote unquote self-help gurus is here's what you need to do. Have a schedule, work a plan, be disciplined and all the things that you should do. And none of those are wrong.
00:13:50.780I agree. But we don't hear from those of us who tell us, okay, well, here's what you need to eliminate from your life. Eliminate the sedation, eliminate the toxicity, eliminate those friends who weren't serving you. So you can free up a path to be able to pursue, like you talked about, your mission, whatever it is for you.
00:14:10.640Completely. Yeah. And so, I mean, again, I'm someone that has a great passion for what I get to do. I do it every single day. There are no days off.
00:14:19.240I don't have more talent than anyone else in this space, but I outwork everybody. I don't mean that braggadociously. It's just, we have done that for seven and a half, eight years, and we're going to continue to do that.
00:14:31.420Let me pause you right there, Charlie. Is that, let me ask you about your work ethic because I recognize that to be true. Is that something that is innate within you or is that something you've developed? That's something I feel like I have as well.
00:14:45.200But I don't know if everybody has that same sort of drive and desire to just grind it out. And it seems like you do.
00:14:53.080Most people don't. Most people don't. And I don't know where it came from. My parents always taught me and showed me what hard work looks like.
00:15:00.460My father, being an architect, would work till 1.30 in the morning every single morning for most of my life.
00:15:06.800He'd come home for dinner and then go back to work till 1.30 and wake up at 8 a.m. and do it all over again.
00:15:11.180That was the kind of culture I grew up around. And I mean, just looking at my high school life, I was always signing up for more activities, always working harder.
00:15:19.840I don't know if it's built into you. I can't quite pinpoint it. All I know is that I have known nothing my entire life other than being hyperactive and apps.
00:15:29.480And there's a really important thing, though. Some of these people will go to some of these conferences that you just mentioned, and they'll be fired up and they will start putting in those long hours.
00:15:37.480But the minute that any sort of adversity hits them, it's brittle and they shatter.
00:15:42.740And so it's not just being able to put in the long hours and work till 11 p.m. every single night and wake up at 6 a.m.
00:15:50.860and work Saturdays and work Sundays and do not drink and don't do drugs and stop watching mindless television and get rid of your video games, all that sort of stuff.
00:16:00.020Right. Again, if you're able to do a great life with those things, terrific. I love freedom. So good for you.
00:16:04.820I'm just telling you what works for me. Right. And so I don't mean this in a way where I'm trying to make someone feel bad or you're a bad person.
00:16:10.560I'm going to keep saying that because sometimes people read into it too much.
00:16:14.280I think our listeners here are, they're a little bit more aware than that, where they're willing to take these in context.
00:16:23.660I get these messages where people say, well, you know, people say, well, Charlie, do you think I'm a bad person because I have a beer once a week?
00:16:30.300People are incapable of context and discernment for sure.
00:16:34.260That's good. And so, but to go a step further and a level deeper on this though, if we kind of look at what, so people are going to self-help exercise and they have no capacity to withstand suffering.
00:16:47.600The hardest thing to do is to keep going when you really come across something that requires perseverance, when you have someone betray you, when you have someone come after you that wants to destroy your career, when you have a contract fall through, when you have a project that doesn't go the way you wanted it to,
00:17:05.800when you get a very angrily worded email from a donor in our nonprofit world, that's who we raise money from.
00:17:16.800How do you deal when that happens? And that's really when your toughness comes through.
00:17:22.380We have created one of the most fragile generations in the history of humanity. We've done it through our school system. We've done it through our pop culture. We've done it through a variety of different ways.
00:17:36.220And I know the name of this program is the order of man, but just for young men out there, we have fully grown infants. Most young men in our country are not young men.
00:17:47.280They do not deserve that title. They are responsible for nothing. They have no direction at all whatsoever in their life. They have no capacity to be able to endure opposition or suffering.
00:17:57.600They have no direction and no aim whatsoever. And they're just infants. They are fully grown infants that are wholly subsidized by their parents or by a masculine woman.
00:18:07.960It's a great point. And this is exactly why we make the distinction between males and men. You know, I look at my boys, for example, I've got three boys and I've got one little girl and I look at my boys and nobody expects them to be men.
00:18:20.700They're immature. They're overly emotional. They throw temper tantrums. Occasionally, they don't know how to respond to situations with dignity and class and intelligence. Nobody expects them to, but it would be a shame.
00:18:35.080If I saw my young boys grow into adult age without learning how to mature. The question I have is, how do we begin to foster this in a generation of young boys and girls who are growing up without fathers?
00:18:54.000Yeah, it's really hard because then the women have no aim to go marry and the men have no aim to go to basically harmonize with or try to embody, right?
00:19:04.640So women need strong fathers because they want a role model to be able to eventually go marry somebody like that.
00:19:11.840And then men, and that's not the only reason, by the way, that's just a very, that's one of the most important reasons.
00:19:17.780And a man needs, a young boy needs a male father figure so he knows what to aspire to. So he knows what to try to become.
00:19:26.780And when you break that down, your civilization will start to fall apart. But it's also, I see two parent households where the roles are reversed.
00:19:34.500Where the female has become the male and the man has become the woman. And it is masculine women and feminine men.
00:19:45.220And you kind of hear the stereotype on some comedy shows and stuff, but it's actually really true, which is the kind of metropolitan beta male.
00:19:52.400Where if you looked hard, you couldn't find an ounce of testosterone in some of these men. And they take responsibility for nothing. And they've almost kind of turned themselves into this androgynous, very unclear form of a once man, now newly found woman.
00:20:09.480And that's a very dangerous thing for a country and for a civilization. And so what do we do for young men? And I know this, look, so first of all, we are over medicating young men.
00:20:21.080We don't talk about this enough. If I would have grown up today, I would have been on ADHD or ADD, I should say, attention deficit disorder medication.
00:20:30.780You heard my schedule. I can't find enough stuff to do. I love being active. School is not designed for people like me.
00:20:38.080I could never sit still in second, third, and fourth grade. I could never focus on what the teacher was telling me.
00:20:43.160I would always be active. I'd be up on my feet. That's just who I am. And that's how a lot of young boys are.
00:20:48.700But my parents, to their credit, despite the pill pushers and people trying to intersect themselves, said, we are not putting our kid on medication.
00:20:56.000He'll grow up. He'll find his voice. He'll be fine. That was the best thing they could have done for me.
00:21:00.640Whereas now, someone like me, you know what should worry everyone?
00:21:04.560There are thousands of people like Charlie Kirk that are being medicated right now because parents are not holding the line against the over-medication push in our country.
00:21:15.600And I would say, Charlie, on that is I know you're a big fan of making sure we use the right verbiage.
00:21:22.640And so you're saying over-medication. And technically, that's true.
00:21:25.880But I would say it's more over-sedation.
00:21:29.020Can you imagine sedating a child, you know, an eight-year-old child who's got creativity and passion and enthusiasm, and you say to yourself, if you had to recognize it for what it truly was, say, you know what?
00:21:42.700I don't like all that passion. Let's strip away a little bit of that passion by popping you full of pills so that you'll, you know, conform and toe the line and do what you're supposed to be doing.
00:21:52.900Yeah. So, yeah, you're right. Sedation is absolutely a better term.
00:21:54.860I mean, look, if someone has a legitimate medical condition unrelated to their capacity and not focus, but what happens is the entire school system's been feminized.
00:22:03.860It's designed for women, by women, to be taught by women and for women. That's fine.
00:22:08.240Women are much more agreeable than men, and boys in particular are incredibly disagreeable.
00:22:13.420They can't sit still. They need to be involved in the learning process.
00:22:17.520That's why recess is important for young boys and not as important for young women.
00:22:21.700And so young women are thriving in our country. And in fact, I would make the argument that every metric that they're thriving at is not, it's actually in some ways at the expense at times of men.
00:22:33.420And that I'm not saying that women are the problem, but the fact when 60 percent of college graduates are now women, that's that's not that there's no equilibrium there.
00:22:42.680And that comes at some expense because the school system has been so hyperfeminized where young women are more than willing to sit and go through an entire class without moving.
00:22:54.580A fourth grader, a young boy, forget it.
00:22:57.320That's not what for two hours. That's asking a lot out of a young.
00:23:01.220I mean, I can't even know. I can't even do that as an almost 40 year old man at this point.
00:23:04.780So let alone an eight year old child, let alone in the digital age where they have a dopamine rush every time that their phone bings.
00:23:11.640And I'll get into that in a second. If we have, you know, if you want to go in that direction, where also in additional additionally to that.
00:23:18.500So what do we do for young boys? Let me just kind of go back. So we're overly sedating them.
00:23:22.220We're hyperfeminizing their learning environment. And also the way that we educate them just to the curriculum is absolute garbage.
00:23:29.240Young men from a very young boys from a young age are being taught that men are the enemy and women are good.
00:23:36.140And you must make yourself more feminine in nature. This is garbage. It's nonsense. It's foolish.
00:23:41.620For example, the literature that we teach young boys that they have to read, they don't want to read Little House on the Prairie.
00:23:49.240They would rather read a biography about Teddy Roosevelt. And so biographies are the best way to get young boys attention. Why?
00:23:57.060Because young boys want somebody to emulate. They want a hero. They want to resonate with that.
00:24:04.140Why does Little House on the Prairie resonate with young women?
00:24:06.820They want a family to nurture. And young, they're much more relational. So books that are much more in dialogue form, women do a lot better when they're in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade.
00:24:18.320Much more the adventure form, young boys do a lot better. That's why Mark Twain was such an incredibly important author for the formation and the hero spirit for our country.
00:24:28.940We don't teach that anymore because they used a word they don't like. I mean, just grow up.
00:24:32.140And so that's the second other thing. And then finally, if I had to put like third, first being sedation, second hyperfemination of our school slash curriculum, the third thing is this, is that we do not challenge young men for their call to adventure.
00:24:44.740Young men need to be challenged. And I mean this. This is why football is such an important part of our country, and they're trying to destroy that too.
00:24:51.180I don't think football is for everyone, but it was important for me.
00:24:53.300I can tell you in my life, when I was an eighth grader, football really made me grow up very quickly, saying yes sir, no sir, to a strong male figure that made you be on the line at the exact time, being able to run wind sprints, hierarchy, order, discipline.
00:25:08.140For me, football really got me in the line. For all that distracted energy that I had in the classroom, football was, I had meaning, I had fulfillment, I had camaraderie.
00:25:17.880And you know what? The physical combativeness, I loved that. I loved being able to get out and have the blood flowing and testosterone. That was awesome.
00:25:27.240And again, it's not for everybody. I fully recognize that. But I can tell you it made me a more complete and fuller human being.
00:25:35.140And so we don't do that kind of call to adventure as much anymore. And outside of the football analogy, we need to be challenging 16-year-olds to take responsibility for their life.
00:25:43.880Here's how you treat women. Here's how you talk. Here's how you communicate. Here's how you sit up straight with your shoulders back. You look clearly in people's eyes.
00:25:52.100All those sorts of things are completely lost. And now we have, and Jordan Peterson has said this so many times, we have the Peter Pan equivalent of the Lost Boys.
00:26:00.300We have tens of millions of fully mature infants or males that are not men, that have no responsibility. They own nothing.
00:26:07.980They're full of substances. They're overweight. They have no direction. And they're cowards. And I can go into that further as to why that's obviously a problem. I think it's pretty self-evident.
00:26:18.160Yeah, I like the Lost Boys analogy. The analogy I've used quite often too is Lord of the Rings, you know, where, where, you know, you don't, or excuse me, Lord of the Flies, sorry.
00:26:28.140No, I mean, Lord of the Flies and Lost Boys are exactly the same type of idea where you're governed by the infants, basically.
00:26:34.660Right, right. And so what happens without that clear male, masculine, authoritative figure is they begin to take it upon themselves.
00:26:44.400And this is, I think, a big reason why we see the rioting and the vandalism and the violence and the looting because these young men, these boys, regardless of what age they are, have never learned to toe the line.
00:26:56.300You know, you talk about football. I had a football coach who got on my face. I remember when I went to basic training, I saw the guys that I went to basic training with.
00:27:04.600I could tell you just in the first 24 hours who was accustomed to having another grown man up in their face yelling at them and who was never accustomed to that.
00:27:14.940Who grew up without a father? Who grew up without playing sports?
00:27:17.840I could tell because they broke within a 24-hour time frame versus the men who played sports, who had dads in their lives, were unbreakable, were unshatterable at that point.
00:27:29.580I like the term you use, brittle, right?
00:27:31.940And so what the feminists have done and the weak men is they say that that's inherently abusive.
00:27:37.520Look, I had coaches that probably borderline done abusive, and I don't mean physically.
00:42:09.900They believe that if they come talk to me, they're validating a dialogue that will only make the country less likely from being made in their image.
00:42:21.020So I want to make the differentiation between leftists and liberals.
00:42:31.760I was going to say, Charlie, it's funny you say this because I know as we release this conversation between each other, I'm going to get a lot of messages like, I can't believe you'd give him a platform.
00:43:01.000Just to reinforce it, I go to a college campus, I sit down there for three hours, and anyone can come up to me with their own camera and film me and make me look like an idiot at any time.
