00:00:24.000It's important that we know what's going on in our culture.
00:00:27.000It's important that we know what's going on beyond the realm of politics.
00:00:30.000And from time to time, we like to do that here at the Charlie Kirk Show so that you know what's going on, so you know what to talk about with your kids.
00:00:36.000If you're young, if you're one of our younger audience, you're going to really love this.
00:00:39.000We have some fun, lively debate back and forth, lots of laughs.
00:00:43.000We welcome Alex Clark, host of the Spillover podcast and a Turning Point USA contributor, as well as Joe Bob, the man who only needs one name, who is a funny, funny guy and pop culture expert, also a Turning Point USA contributor.
00:00:57.000We go through all the different stories that are current right now.
00:01:23.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:46.000Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:47.000This is Andrew Colvett, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk Show, joined by none other than Alex Clark, host of the Spillover podcast, and Joe Bob, the TPUSA contributor that only has one name.
00:02:00.000One grandparent was Joe, the other one was Bob.
00:03:56.000There are a lot of topics that I want to cover here.
00:03:59.000And it was funny, when we were in the break, we were talking about what we were going to start with first.
00:04:04.000And there's a ton of options on the table.
00:04:07.000And of course, Alex Clark said, I don't want to talk about the Queen's Coronation or the King's Coronation because I don't know anything about the British stuff.
00:04:13.000And so I immediately thought, then we're starting with the coronation.
00:04:24.000And I think this is interesting too, because my wife and I were just in London for like a week, like two weeks ago, and everybody was prepped with the coronation.
00:04:32.000Oh, the coronation is happening May 6th.
00:04:35.000And isn't the coronation going to be so grand?
00:04:38.000All of our tour guides in London were saying, well, the king will walk down this road and the king will do this.
00:04:44.000And I couldn't help but think the entire time, and maybe this just makes me a patriot American, who cares?
00:04:52.000I do not understand why anybody cares so much about the king of a foreign country and this whole idea of running society as a democracy, the idea of a monarch and king.
00:05:07.000Well, I mean, that part of it is really not the controversial part.
00:05:12.000I mean, you and I had a disagreement in the break.
00:05:15.000I think there's a place for the royals and the monarchy as an institution in England.
00:05:20.000I think it's good when a country holds up these institutions that have history and tradition built into them that the people know and love and look up to.
00:05:31.000There's a lot of people in this audience that think the queen was this globalist shill and she was actually working with the Rockefellers and all this stuff.
00:06:39.000Okay, but I think to your point, there could be a disconnect between what you're seeing in the media and some of the tabloid press versus your run-of-the-mill average British citizen, right?
00:07:44.000I mean, maybe it was a happy accident, but you got to believe somebody.
00:07:48.000I mean, everything is so scripted with the British.
00:07:50.000Oh, but that was definitely on purpose.
00:07:52.000Nobody else is wearing, I mean, they're all, a lot of them are wearing ridiculous hats, but nobody's wearing one that would blatantly block out the person behind them.
00:08:53.000I think the whole thing is like, I think it was a message from King Charles saying, you have disgraced this family, young sir.
00:09:00.000You have literally, you wrote a book calling yourself the spare.
00:09:03.000You make me look like a big jerk while I'm trying to take over the reins from the queen that everybody loved who's been serving since, you know, I was, what was it, 60, 70?
00:09:13.000I think it said it is a terrible look on Harry.
00:09:17.000I don't think he should have showed up at all.
00:09:19.000The way that he has trashed that entire institution, that entire family, the fact that he had the gall to show up, I thought that was so disrespectful.
00:10:27.000Maybe she's, you know, a woman scorned, as they say.
00:10:31.000I mean, maybe this is like MI6, like helping her out, like on the DL, or maybe it's just a bad, like, Hollywood prosthetics, like, shop that's like, don't worry, girl, we got you.
00:10:40.000But no one has been able to say or identify who this person is.
00:10:44.000If you got, if you, you in the audience, if you think you know the answer to this, freedom at charliekirk.com, I want to hear your response.
00:10:56.000Do you, and by the way, here's the other real more serious question.
00:10:59.000Do you think that there is a place for the British monarchy in today's day and age, or do you think it's a vestige of years past and it should be wiped from the face of the aisle?
00:11:08.000Well, I just wanted people to stop pretending it's important.
00:11:11.000It's a bunch of adults that act like it's important.
00:11:14.000Alex Clark, host of the Spillover podcast, which, by the way, is doing tremendous.
00:11:19.000Everybody around the office just like bigs up on your podcast all the time.
00:11:24.000Why don't you tell us a little bit about it?
00:11:38.000And experts, different child psychologists and different things.
00:11:41.000Every week essentially is a different interview with somebody that either has an incredible life story or incredible expertise on something.
00:12:44.000Actually, when Charlie got Antifa came after him at UC Davis, you were filming right there close to the glass getting broke by Antifa saying, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:27.000If anybody knows what happened, the chancellor at UC Davis, the guy gets paid $800,000 a year to be a mediocre hack.
00:14:36.000He came out the day of the event with a sanctioned university video that they produced in-house at the university and said that Charlie had advocated for harm against trans people.
00:14:49.000He was parroting a talking point from the Sacramento B that was parroting a trans activist and serial hoaxer, Aaron, what is it, Aaron in the morning, who is a trans person that lies about conservatives for a living on the internet and said Charlie wanted to lynch trans people in an interview with Riley Gaines, who we just had on.
00:15:07.000Well, so and then the Sacramento B was forced to retract that.
00:15:12.000But for some reason, the chancellor of UC Davis has not.
00:15:16.000I actually tweet him like once a week.
00:16:48.000I mean, if you think the Taylor Swift tour is a big deal, well, Taylor Swift didn't have 15 of the top, actually was the top 15 on the top 100 charts.
00:17:02.000But anyways, I will say, so I started this by saying that cis white Christian men are getting hated on.
00:17:07.000Chris Pratt's taking all kinds of incoming because of his faith.
00:17:10.000He's saying people are recasting him in Hollywood.
00:17:12.000Then we started talking about Morgan Wallen.
00:17:14.000I made the off-hated comment that Morgan Wallen had the top 15 of the 100 songs on the charts when his new album released, which had like 15.
00:20:51.000I'm just, you know, but I mean, it's kind of an MO, right?
00:20:54.000I mean, we're going to be really surprised that he's living hard.
00:20:57.000When you're talking about like artists, and in this particular case, literally a rock star, do you get the question is, do you get the massive amount of creativity in the artistry without the crazy stuff?
00:21:32.000I'm just saying that's his perspective.
00:21:34.000But now, I bring this up, you know, in a and I we're sort of skipping over Chris Pratt, who's getting hated on, but whatever.
00:21:41.000I bring this up, and then instantly our team, Daisy and Emma from our team, rush in and they're like, you are dead wrong about Morgan Wall.
00:22:45.000Yeah, so she already has a net worth of over 400 million.
00:22:49.000This era's tour is on track to becoming possibly one of the highest-grossing tours of all time.
00:22:54.000And we're talking, there are people that are camping out for days to get merch.
00:23:00.000The merch that you can buy online, by the way.
00:23:03.000They're camping out to get merch, waiting for hours and hours.
00:23:06.000Those fans, when there was like a three-hour rain delay on Sunday night for her last Nashville show, they didn't go home and just say, All right, forget it.
00:23:15.000They waited for her and she still performed.
00:23:32.000Well, no, I would, you know, if that, if that's actually true and she's going to make all of that money, I think put your money where your mouth is, especially when she starts spouting off about politics.
00:23:47.000She had that whole that whole behind-the-scenes interaction with her with her, yes, where she endorsed voting for a pure communist, but that's fine.
00:23:58.000Um, so she she she tells her parents, like, I have to come be public about this.
00:24:03.000You know, I've never gotten political before, but I'm telling you, this time is different.
00:24:08.000It's Donald Trump, and you're and you still back, you still back this person.
00:24:12.000I am, I feel like I am emotionally mature enough that I can separate the art from the artist.
00:24:17.000Let me tell you something that drives me nuts about conservatives.
00:24:20.000If we really were to say, all right, we are boycotting every single celebrity, artist, musician, actor that is a leftist, then I guess we're all going to be living under an overpass in a cardboard box because everything pretty much in pop culture leans left.
00:25:00.000The point I was making is that you got Chris Pratt, you've got Morgan Wall, and they get so much hate online when anything goes bad or if there's any controversy.
00:27:44.000Every single woman who decides to end a relationship, usually in her 30s, it's been several years long, and the next person she dates is somebody that is not a long-term forever partner.
00:27:56.000It is a distraction, something fun in the meantime in the interim.
00:28:01.000And every friend group has that girlfriend in their 30s, and they have to be like, he's all right.
00:29:22.000They love finding loan solutions for people who are self-employed, first-time homebuyers, real estate investors, or people with credit challenges.
00:29:29.000And if you're considering a reverse mortgage, they can help answer all your questions.
00:29:33.000If you or someone you know is having a mortgage challenge, let them help.
00:30:18.000So I, yeah, I don't know if we want to go into what we're talking about in the break or if we want to move on to Richard Dreyfus because this is what I mean.
00:30:25.000You know, yeah, Taylor Swift one time dented my freezer.
00:31:23.000I want to talk about this Richard Dreyfus story because it is very, very interesting.
00:31:27.000Okay, so, Joe Bob, you filled me in on this.
00:31:29.000According to you and your sources at CNN, there is news that essentially in order to get nominated for an Oscar next year, you have to hit all these diversity quotas.
00:31:42.000According to the fact-checked news organization known as CNN, films have to meet at least two of four benchmarks, which cover, among other things, whether the lead actors are from underrepresented groups or if at least 30% of the cast and crew come from these underrepresented groups.
00:32:01.000All right, so this is wild, and it's creepy because Hollywood is a precursor to the rest of the country.
00:32:07.000But we have this clip from Richard Dreyfus.
00:32:09.000I want to play because this was the tie-in for you.
00:33:24.000Yeah, I mean, really, really briefly, if you look at people based on their skin color and not by their merit or the ability to do the job, that is probably more racist than actual racist, avowed racist.
00:33:39.000And if you look at somebody specifically by their quote-unquote diverse pigmentation in their skin and not the merit of which they do their job, like that, to me, it also undermines the job that people are doing.
00:33:53.000If I, as a brown guy, was bad, but was a quote-unquote diversity hire, it would do me an injustice.
00:34:10.000I just saw a viral tweet a few days ago.
00:34:14.000I think it was a black woman, and she was talking about how she had just found out that the new job that she had gotten, she was a diversity hire.
00:34:20.000She said, you know, my hiring manager let it slip in casual conversation, like, oh, you know, we saw your name on the resume and we just, we knew you were black, and so that's why we hired you.
