The Charlie Kirk Show - The Silent Majority, The ADL, The Super Bowl, And More

00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.

00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.

00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.

00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable.

00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful.

00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.

00:00:26.000 You gotta stop sending your kids to college.

00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

00:00:31.000 Go start a turning point.

00:00:32.000 You would say college chapter.

00:00:33.000 Go start attorney point.

00:00:34.000 It would say high school chapter.

00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.

00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.

00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.

00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.

00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.

00:00:45.000 Here I am, Lord Museme.

00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:00:56.000 All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:58.000 Andrew Colvet in.

00:01:00.000 We are uh honored to be joined today by the one the only I think you're like what are you, the record holder of YouTube streams or something?

00:01:09.000 You have I don't know.

00:01:11.000 Most YouTube streams of all time.

00:01:13.000 I don't know.

00:01:13.000 There's I think we talked about this once, and I think it was a pretty remarkable stat.

00:01:17.000 Anyways, this is uh Tim Poole.

00:01:19.000 Welcome to the show.

00:01:19.000 Thanks for having me.

00:01:20.000 It's an it's an honor and a privilege.

00:01:21.000 Well, uh it's honored an honor to have you, and uh I got to do your show on Monday night, and that was a great experience.

00:01:27.000 And uh I just you know, with everything going on, Tim, and we'll get into it later.

00:01:32.000 You know, thanks for making the trip.

00:01:33.000 I know it's it's no small feat.

00:01:36.000 Security is is a huge, huge it's a very large challenge.

00:01:39.000 It's very expensive, but uh I I again honored that you uh you have you're having me out.

00:01:44.000 Yeah, having you on my show is also it's an honor and a privilege.

00:01:46.000 Awesome, man.

00:01:47.000 Well, listen, I uh I wanna we have so much news to cover today.

00:01:52.000 And you know, first of all, I want to give a big hat tip to our team and what they accomplished at Utah State last night.

00:01:59.000 We had what we have Tyler Boyer was out there.

00:02:01.000 We had Jason Chaffetz, who was actually there, he was a witness on the day uh at UVU, and we had uh Governor Cox, and I want to explain some of the backstory with the Governor Cox thing, because I know there was some some uh some hemming and hawing and some heartburn over why uh we invited Governor Cox.

00:02:20.000 And there was also Andy Biggs.

00:02:22.000 So uh a great showing, and this was actually the largest evening event to date that we have ever done at Turning Point USA at a at a college.

00:02:33.000 So there was over 6,000 people in attendance for this, and the crowd was fired up.

00:02:39.000 You can see that if you're watching the stream.

00:02:41.000 They the the energy in this room, I keep I everybody was texting me.

00:02:45.000 I was my phone was blowing up.

00:02:46.000 They're like, it's insane, it's just so great.

00:02:48.000 Uh and that was despite, by the way, uh some sort of bomb threat or suspicion of a bomb at a separate building.

00:02:56.000 So it didn't affect this building.

00:02:58.000 This building was on pure lockdown.

00:03:00.000 And you know, there was they I think bomb squad kind of detonated some sort of device in a defensive measure.

00:03:07.000 Haven't gotten confirmation on what exactly what that suspicious uh, you know, uh package was, but everybody's safe, everybody's home.

00:03:16.000 We're we're grateful for that.

00:03:17.000 So let's go ahead and play at least uh a couple uh of uh images here.

00:03:22.000 Let's see here.

00:03:24.000 I I just love me a good Charlie Kirk Chant.

00:03:26.000 So Charlie Chant, 91.

00:03:28.000 Please play.

00:03:29.000 Thank you.

00:03:52.000 Yeah, it was just completely organic.

00:03:55.000 The kids are fired up.

00:03:56.000 We have more tour stops coming.

00:03:58.000 We're not backing down.

00:03:59.000 Uh Tim, hopefully you don't think we're told totally uh crazy for doing this, but uh we have to go on.

00:04:04.000 Charlie would have uh mandated it.

00:04:07.000 I can tell you that.

00:04:08.000 Let's call it brave.

00:04:09.000 In the in the in the face of your fears, you persevere.

00:04:12.000 Yeah, well, I uh I the kids are doing great, the team is doing great, and uh all the speakers that have been coming out.

00:04:18.000 I mean, I can tell you the security is extraordinarily robust.

00:04:22.000 Uh magnitude's more than anything we've ever done.

00:04:25.000 And um there's a lot of people uh I will just say that are working In conjunction with it.

00:04:31.000 So take that as you will.

00:04:33.000 I uh I want to get into something that I kind of think is, and we were just talking about it before the show started.

00:04:39.000 Something that I think is almost like a little bit of a of a Washington meme.

00:04:43.000 Like it's in the bubble, right?

00:04:44.000 We i it it doesn't like nobody seems to care about this story, but it is political news, so I want to I want to make sure we talk about it.

00:04:50.000 And that's the sh the the Schumer shutdown.

00:04:52.000 Uh or sombrero gate.

00:04:54.000 It's sort of snuck up on us.

00:04:55.000 Yeah.

00:04:56.000 Because obviously we've been distracted by everything.

00:04:58.000 And in the background, there was like, oh, there's a government shutdown possibly approaching.

00:05:02.000 So even I feel a lot of us at Turning Point are belatedly looking.

00:05:06.000 Oh, we should we should probably know about this because people will ask about it.

00:05:09.000 It's interesting because before all of this happened, we were talking about it months ago.

00:05:14.000 We were kind of circling on our calendar knowing that this was going to be a thing, and then obviously what what happened with Charlie, it has totally faded into the background.

00:05:22.000 And it feels even more so now, Tim, because of everything that happened.

00:05:26.000 It's just like I I can't explain it.

00:05:29.000 I can't tell if it's just me living in the bubble that I'm living in, but it just doesn't seem quite like the past shutdowns.

00:05:35.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:05:35.000 And and to be honest, last night on Timcast RL, we decided not to lead with the government shutdown story because of the bomb threat or hoax device at the TPUSA event.

00:05:45.000 And I feel like I we're talking to Jack Basobic about this.

00:05:49.000 I'm not sure we're that concerned with the government shutdown when we've had uh in the past four weeks four terror attacks.

00:05:56.000 It's it's the question we ask when we launch every show is what is the big story that people are looking for and wanting to understand about and uh understand.

00:06:03.000 And the government shutdown matters.

00:06:05.000 What is the reason for it?

00:06:07.000 But I think right now, when I talk to regular people, when you listen to some of these other podcasts, big shows, even Joe Rogan, they're talking about what happened to Charlie still.

00:06:16.000 It's kind of there there's the pros and the cons of that, right?

00:06:19.000 We don't want to forget Charlie, but at the same time, it's because we're still scared.

00:06:22.000 And and I'll say I'll stress this again nothing is there's nothing wrong with being afraid.

00:06:27.000 It's what you do in the face of your fears.

00:06:29.000 Do you back down, do you give up, or do you persevere?

00:06:31.000 And I think that's what everyone's trying to do.

00:06:33.000 So when I saw a video of a of a detonation at one of your guys' events, I was scared.

00:06:40.000 I said, what are they trying to do?

00:06:42.000 So was I. Yeah, I mean, there's there's so much there's so much out there right now.

00:06:47.000 You know, it's funny.

00:06:49.000 Uh I the likes are not public anymore, uh, but I you can see people when they like your tweet.

00:06:54.000 And I've seen some high profile people, including Elon Musk, like a tweet uh uh for or a post from that I posted yesterday about this new Rutgers uh poll that says, you know, 50% of people think it over 50% of progressives, left of center people think that it would be justified to kill Elon Musk to advance their political views, or Donald Trump to advance their political views.

00:07:19.000 There's a new poll out today that is also really terrifying.

00:07:24.000 But you know, we were talking about this before we came on.

00:07:27.000 Steven Crowder has felt moved to go back onto campus and you know, basically do his because Stephen Stephen called him Change My Mind.

00:07:38.000 And now he's he's doing it again.

00:07:40.000 And Charlie Charlie's and turning points were prove me wrong.

00:07:43.000 So it's basically the same concept.

00:07:45.000 Go on campus and have a debate and do it in a civil way.

00:07:50.000 And uh I'm gonna play this clip.

00:07:52.000 Uh Steven Crowder uh cut 96.

00:07:55.000 In 2016, the idea was hey, calling the left on their bluff civil dialogue with anyone to the tune of billions of plays and hundreds of hours, and it got increasingly violent.

00:08:05.000 And what I didn't tell people, I told people out there, go do this on your own campus, have these conversations.

00:08:10.000 I advocated for it, and Charlie took it to another level.

00:08:13.000 He was unbelievable at it.

00:08:15.000 What I didn't do, I didn't tell people about the threats because I didn't want copycats.

00:08:20.000 I didn't tell them about terrorists from Yemen through Sweden showing up in East Grand Rapids.

00:08:24.000 I didn't tell them about concrete milkshakes.

00:08:26.000 I didn't tell them about my tires getting slashed, about people trying to firebom my car, and maybe if I would have picked up the phone, maybe if I would have used this megaphone to tell people it's real life out there, and the left wants you dead, maybe Charlie would have had a fighting chance.

00:08:40.000 Maybe I could have done more.

00:08:42.000 What do you think of that, Tim?

00:08:44.000 He's completely right.

00:08:45.000 Uh I've been getting death threats quite a bit.

00:08:48.000 This is what made it makes it uh currently very difficult to travel.

00:08:54.000 The whole time I've been doing this, even let's go back to 2018.

00:08:58.000 I'm on YouTube and I'm like this moderate, and my position at the time was I'm not gonna vote for Donald Trump.

00:09:03.000 I'm not gonna support Donald Trump.

00:09:04.000 I'm gonna try and be honest about what he's saying and what's going on.

00:09:06.000 I'm not here to get political.

00:09:08.000 I was still getting death threats from the left.

00:09:10.000 I was still being accused of being far right, the lies, the smears.

00:09:13.000 As the threats and the violence ramped up, I stopped going on the ground.

00:09:16.000 I used to, my whole career was field reporting.

00:09:19.000 I went to Berkeley.

00:09:20.000 I filmed these protests.

00:09:21.000 I interviewed people.

00:09:22.000 The threats got so intense.

00:09:25.000 Yeah.

00:09:26.000 The younger generation has picked up that that baton and they're carrying on that legacy.

00:09:30.000 I became too well known, and the threats were intense.

00:09:34.000 Where we're at today, even yesterday, in the face of all the threats that I get, where we've we've increased our security, which is already intense.

00:09:42.000 I have people on the right saying, don't talk about it.

00:09:45.000 Don't let anyone know because you don't want like exactly what Crowder was saying, you don't want copycats.

00:09:49.000 You'll make it worse if you bring it up.

00:09:51.000 I fear this has created a perception for the average American that the right is not facing death on a regular basis for going out and talking about these things.

00:10:01.000 Tim, keep going, because this is important.

00:10:03.000 I really wanted I don't want to interrupt this because you're saying you don't you you and others, and Stephen said the same thing that have been reticent to talk about the threats because you didn't want to inspire more.

00:10:14.000 We got uh in in 2022, we were swatted at my studio 15 times.

00:10:20.000 We had the bomb squad called out three times.

00:10:22.000 They deployed robots, I believe, in two of these occasions because hoax devices had been sent, which the standard police deployment could not assess.

00:10:32.000 They had to get the actual machines out there.

00:10:34.000 There are people like Cam Higby and Nick Shirley who are currently on the ground.

00:10:37.000 Just recently, uh someone threatened to kill Nick Shirley on the ground in Portland.

00:10:42.000 Yeah.

00:10:43.000 I fear, exactly as Steven Crowder pointed out, that because we constantly are told don't talk about the threats you're getting, these younger guys don't understand how serious the death threats we're getting, why we stopped doing it.

00:10:57.000 And so they go out there thinking, well, I know Antifa is violent.

00:11:00.000 I've heard about what happened to Annie No, but as Crowder pointed out, the slashing of his tires, the following firebombing of his vehicles, terrorists from foreign countries showing up.

00:11:09.000 Just the other day, in the face of the death threats we have been receiving, which you know, we've been in contact with the FBI over.

00:11:16.000 I have conservatives, people on the right saying, don't bring it up.

00:11:19.000 Just don't say anything.

00:11:20.000 It'll get worse.

00:11:21.000 And then I'm just like, guys, I don't know how much worse it can get.

00:11:24.000 Maybe we need to actually try a different strategy and say, hey, look, this is very real, it's happening.

00:11:29.000 We need everyone take it seriously.

00:11:30.000 I think uh a reasonable thing to uh speculate on is we we have to take it more seriously in the sense of actually what we should do is we should make sure these things are investigated, and if they are uh if they're able to make an arrest, you have to punish that harder.

00:11:45.000 You're just gonna say if you're going to make actual threats to kill somebody, we're going to put your face on the internet and we're going to put you in jail for five years.

00:11:53.000 And as longer than that, like as they say, or longer candidly.

00:11:56.000 And just like dox people with their address of people who threaten people.

00:12:01.000 So just so we're clear, it is patently insane to say, you know, to threaten somebody's life. 0.98

00:12:08.000 I'm going to kill go out of your way and say those words. 0.97

00:12:12.000 And and yeah, I mean, I've seen some of yours. 1.00

00:12:14.000 You've showed me, and they're insane.

00:12:16.000 They are graphic.

00:12:18.000 The left's goal is the heckler's veto in these radical campus activities.

00:12:22.000 They want to use threats, they want to use menacing, they want to use bad behavior to stop people from exercising freedom of speech.

00:12:29.000 Well, and that when that is crossing the line to succeeding, it has to be punished for real.

00:12:34.000 It has to be punished extraordinarily hard.

00:12:36.000 I I completely, completely agree.

00:12:38.000 One thing we haven't talked about, and I'm I I totally agree with the fact that we need to change our strategy because there's just too many data points right now that show that the left and especially hard left and younger progressives are getting extraordinarily radical.

00:12:52.000 Right.

00:12:53.000 And so we need to also attack the funding networks.

00:12:56.000 And I will never get this out of my head, Tim.

00:12:59.000 The last text message that Charlie sent to Stephen Miller said we need to address the financing networks of those groups that are fomenting violence.

00:13:09.000 It was the last one he sent Stephen Miller.

00:13:11.000 And if I trust anybody to be a dog with a bone on this stuff, it's uh Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who he and and Katie have been com you know completely harassed by these people and and uh docs.

00:13:25.000 Hi, America.

00:13:25.000 It's Andrew with the Charlie Kirk show here.

00:13:28.000 President Trump walked into a catch 22 When he took office, if he had done nothing, America would be staring at a ticking debt bomb, the kind of crisis that could cripple our future.

00:13:38.000 Instead, he's taken action with tariffs and strong policies to slow the train and bias time.

00:13:43.000 But the effects of past administration spending are still working through the system.

00:13:47.000 And once companies lower cost inventory burns off, experts predict dramatic price increases in market uncertainty.

00:13:53.000 Trump is doing all he can, but no matter who's in office, protecting your retirement savings is ultimately up to you.

00:13:59.000 And that's why many Americans are turning to real assets like gold and silver.

00:14:02.000 Preserve gold is our go-to choice at the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:14:06.000 We use them because they make it easy to own physical gold and silver, even inside your retirement accounts, like an IRA or 401k.

00:14:13.000 Get their free wealth protection guide by texting freedom to 50505 with a qualified purchase, you can get up to 20,000 in free gold and silver.

00:14:21.000 President Trump is fighting for America's future.

00:14:23.000 Now it's your turn to help protect yours.

00:14:27.000 Thank you again for coming, Tim.

00:14:29.000 What's it uh, I don't know, what's it like to be in here?

00:14:31.000 I mean, I know that you guys did your show here once.

00:14:33.000 I know.

00:14:33.000 And I think you sat in Charlie's chair.

00:14:35.000 I wanted to sit in the chair.

00:14:37.000 Uh man, wow, when I walked into the building yesterday, uh, or two days ago, we were we were doing our Tim Castarell show from you guys' headquarters, we came out, and I remembered the studio that you guys had so graciously built for us so that we could come and do this.

00:14:52.000 The the extent that the TP USA team and Charlie went for us to have us be involved in what you guys had built, uh it it it it is beyond an honor.

00:15:03.000 It it's you know, every every I I describe this job as uh being sysyfist pushing the rock up the hill.

00:15:11.000 And I've I have a lot of companies that say, Hey, come on my show, hey, will you what can I interview on this?

00:15:16.000 And it's always it's always a chore, it's always work.

00:15:18.000 There's only one time it didn't feel that way.

00:15:20.000 It I I described it as when when you guys extended that offer to come out here, it was like all of a sudden the weight of that rock had been gone, and I looked to my right, and Charlie is pushing that rock up the mountain and says, We got this.

00:15:30.000 Come be a part of what we're working on.

00:15:32.000 And I could finally relax.

00:15:34.000 You not only built us a studio so that we could be here, and again for us now, but when we had technical difficulties, brought us in and said, You can use Charlie.

00:15:43.000 Charlie says, You can use my studio.

00:15:44.000 You can sit in my chair, do your show, we're grateful to have you.

00:15:48.000 I walked in on Monday, and those memories came flooding back of that that that feeling, and then instantly it was cut in half by the by the knowledge of what had happened to Charlie, and I almost started crying.

00:16:00.000 Man, it's it's it's it's tough.

00:16:02.000 Well, Charlie always loved having you at our events, Tim, and you I think you're a really important voice, and you you occupy a lane and you do it in such a way that I think really engages, you know, a whole different audience, right?

00:16:16.000 That that we couldn't reach or weren't reaching is or maybe we did, I don't know.

00:16:19.000 But like the point is, you did a you do you do a great job, and we were honored to have you, and um still honored to have you.

00:16:26.000 That's why I reached out because it was like I appreciate it.

00:16:28.000 Tim needs to be here.

00:16:28.000 Tim needs to be a part of this.

00:16:30.000 I looked up to Charlie.

00:16:31.000 He's he's younger than me.

00:16:32.000 I looked up to him.

00:16:33.000 I can't believe the amazing thing that you guys had built.

00:16:35.000 And you know, he's come on my show a couple of times, we've got these these hand drawings, we've he's autographed them for us, these posters.

00:16:41.000 And so when I come here and I see everything that you guys have done, when it's the craziest feeling in the world for you know you and Charlie to have been like, no, Tim, you gotta be here.

00:16:49.000 And I'm like, Me?

00:16:50.000 Like what are you guys talking about?

00:16:52.000 This is so amazing I I I it's it's it's beyond confidence building.

00:16:57.000 I'll put it that way that way.

00:16:58.000 Well, you've earned it.

00:16:59.000 You've earned it.

00:17:00.000 Yeah.

00:17:00.000 Um, I want to play, I want to show this image for the audience.

00:17:03.000 We're talking about left-wing violence, and I'm gonna get into the ADL in just a second.

00:17:07.000 But you look at this.

00:17:08.000 This cut, uh, this would be 300.

00:17:10.000 Put this up.

00:17:11.000 Majority of strong liberals, a majority, which means more than 50%, say violence against the rich can be justified.

00:17:18.000 Nine in ten conservatives say it can't be.

00:17:22.000 Violence against the rich.

00:17:23.000 Tim, why are we seeing numbers like this?

00:17:26.000 And where did this come from?

00:17:28.000 You know, I blame social media.

00:17:29.000 There's a clip going viral right now from Joe Rogan's show where he's talking about how he's shocked.

00:17:34.000 So many run-of-the-mill liberals, teachers, doctors, have been celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

00:17:41.000 And with all due respect, because I think Joe's a great guy, I told him this on his show six years ago.

00:17:48.000 We sat down with the executives from Twitter, Jack Dorsey and Vijayagada.

00:17:52.000 And I explicitly stated, one of my key points of the show is that if you create this bifurcation in the world, and if if you do not allow people the ability to speak and come together, I'm gonna build a van and go live down by the river because it's gonna it's gonna go, it's gonna be civil war.

00:18:08.000 It's gonna be crazy.

00:18:09.000 What I see now is I am pessimistic.

00:18:13.000 I hate to say this, people call me blackpilled.

00:18:16.000 But when you have social media platforms that allow monetization and social growth from celebrating assassinations, you will get more of it.

00:18:27.000 Young people were told after the assassination of Brian Thompson in New York that assassins are celebrated by the left on social media.

00:18:36.000 And they told me, you know, YouTube, X, all these platforms, well, Twitter before Elon bought it.

00:18:41.000 Celebration of death is against the rules to celebrate murder and violence is against rules.

00:18:46.000 You'll be banned for it.

00:18:48.000 After Luigi Mangiani was arrested, accused of killing Brian Thompson, they made sainthood candles of him.

00:18:54.000 Social media celebrated him.

00:18:56.000 Nobody gets banned, nobody gets suspended.

00:18:58.000 We warned, Charlie warned.

00:19:00.000 This was creating assassination culture.

00:19:02.000 Charlie warned a lot about that.

00:19:04.000 Look where it brought us.

00:19:05.000 Look where it brought us together.

00:19:06.000 Charlie, yeah.

00:19:06.000 It's not changed.

00:19:07.000 I mean, we've got real quick, like we had, you know, in advance, I believe, of the Utah State event, we had a table out.

00:19:14.000 And it's not just obviously the the big threats or the big violent actions, it's all the stuff that lies beneath it.

00:19:20.000 So we had these left wingers just kind of walk up and like throw everything off the table and attack it.

00:19:25.000 And someone, we're not going to show it, but someone handed a pencil illustration of Charlie being shot just to the person at the table.

00:19:32.000 Like that little elements of informative.

00:19:36.000 Oh, was that NAU?

00:19:36.000 That's where it was.

00:19:37.000 That was where it was in our university.

00:19:38.000 NAU.

00:19:39.000 And they they hand a note of Charlie being shot.

00:19:41.000 Like, ha ha, here's your this person you may have met just dead.

00:19:45.000 It like this level of like nastiness, like going down to the core that you've cultivate in these little ways, and it turns into this big violence when it's indulged.

00:19:54.000 So, Tim, why don't you explain for the audience what's going on with the ADL?

00:19:58.000 The ADL had turning point listed as an extremist hate group.

00:20:03.000 Uh meanwhile, it was it looked like it was apologizing for Antifa.

00:20:08.000 Indeed, they were.

00:20:09.000 It was their glossary of terms.

00:20:11.000 It's fascinating.

00:20:12.000 Basically, everything was racist.

00:20:13.000 Did you know that I I think numbers one through 60 were considered racist?

00:20:17.000 I'm not even kidding, like that's lawsuit.

00:20:18.000 It's like, here's why number three is racist.

00:20:20.000 And so they have turning point USA listed in their glossary of terms, describing it as a you know like a hate group or something that affect.

00:20:27.000 They've since gotten rid of the whole thing.

00:20:29.000 And I think at least they're starting to recognize the role they played in the avalanche.

00:20:33.000 The saying goes, the snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche.

00:20:36.000 Each and each one of these NGOs, these these organizations, they make money, they receive donations when they accuse people on the right of being Nazis or white supremacists.

00:20:45.000 But you know what the problem is, they uh strip mined the whole place.

00:20:48.000 There were no white supremacists left to condemn, so what could they do?

00:20:51.000 Well, uh move over to regular old conservatives and accuse them of being racists, I guess.

00:20:56.000 Which has created this culture.

00:20:58.000 I think all of that has played a deep role in the bifurcation of the moral worldview in this country.

00:21:05.000 Liberals don't actually know who Charlie was and what he believed.

00:21:08.000 And they were shielded from actually being exposed to it by the lies of these organizations. 0.94

00:21:14.000 So they would tell these liberals, Charlie was a racist white supremacist, don't listen to him. 0.67

00:21:18.000 Then if someone ever said, watch this video of Charlie, they go, No, I'm not watching that. 0.86

00:21:22.000 I refuse.

00:21:23.000 And same thing with was true, is true for Trump in the political space.

00:21:26.000 It's good they're getting rid of it.

00:21:28.000 I'll give them credit for that, but we still should recognize the problem and what they're doing.

00:21:31.000 It's amazing how uh effective these lies can be.

00:21:34.000 I I'm reminded of when Charlie was at Oxford and they, you know, you have to point and counterpoint point and counterpoint that sort of thing.

00:21:42.000 And Charlie just just dismissed that one gal, like out of out of it.

00:21:45.000 I think it was a professor who parodied the Very Fine People hoax.

00:21:48.000 Yeah.

00:21:48.000 All these years later.

00:21:50.000 The very fine people host got repeated again this week by Nicole Hannon Jones in the New York Times.

00:21:54.000 In her article bashing Charlie.

00:21:56.000 You're right.

00:21:56.000 Yeah, I mean, it's just amazing how how that happens and how insulated the algorithms make people, right?

00:22:03.000 So that you you live in a an information bubble.

00:22:06.000 You know, you know what's funny?

00:22:07.000 I'm not a conservative.

00:22:08.000 I mean, maybe by today's standards.

00:22:10.000 So what am I?

00:22:11.000 Well, I'm a Chicago urban liberal from a working class firefighter, you know, first responder kind of area.

00:22:16.000 How am I finding myself in this place?

00:22:18.000 Well, my biggest concern from the beginning of this was the truth, what's really going on.

00:22:23.000 And so I enter the space because when I was actually on the ground covering news, I'd see CNN lie.

00:22:29.000 I'd make a video Being like, here's footage of what really happened.

00:22:32.000 Liberals were not happy with this.

00:22:35.000 They when I went to Sweden, Donald Trump had that famous moment on TV in 2017, last night in Sweden, he said, and so I did what I always have done.

00:22:42.000 I said, I'm gonna go there and film vlogs and many documentaries about what's going on.

00:22:47.000 I had journalists messaging me saying, Don't do it.

00:22:50.000 And I'm like, I don't understand why why I'm and they said Trump's lying.

00:22:53.000 I said, Great, I'll prove him wrong.

00:22:54.000 They said, No, no, don't go.

00:22:56.000 That's how insane is.

00:22:57.000 Today we have this this shutdown.

00:22:59.000 The big debate is why did it happen?

00:23:01.000 Trump says they want to give illegal immigrants healthcare, government funded health care, which is correct. 1.00

00:23:05.000 That is the truth.

00:23:06.000 I go on CNN and says fact check false democrats don't want to.

00:23:10.000 Why?

00:23:11.000 Because the Democrat argument is if you entered the country illegally, but claim asylum after the fact, you are now a legal, you are a lawful uh uh immigrant.

00:23:22.000 Yes, just by virtue of whether it's been adjudicated or otherwise by saying so.

00:23:26.000 Now, if CNN told me that and said the argument between Democrats and Republicans is I would accept their news company as a news company, but they don't.

00:23:35.000 They omit all of those details.

00:23:36.000 I go to the bulwark, same thing.

00:23:38.000 Republicans are lying, ignore them, don't listen to what they're saying.

00:23:41.000 I go to the National Review, they tell me the truth.

00:23:44.000 Interesting.

00:23:45.000 Yeah, I mean, it's all it's just a it's a argument over a definition of of a term.

00:23:49.000 We think those people are illegals. 0.99

00:23:51.000 Like, and by the way, every time we try and change the status for temporary protected immigrant or whatever, and or you know, whether I I guess DACA would be included, these asylums, we're trying to get rid of them because that we believe that they were given the the status illegally or fraudulently. 1.00

00:24:09.000 You you run into judges that will will block them.

00:24:12.000 But here's I mean, it's it's a essentially it's a a patent a pedantic argument, and you're you're right.

00:24:20.000 The news does not want to give you the truth.

00:24:21.000 They want to cover for their side, they are activists uh in j in journalist clothing.

00:24:26.000 And I mean, I think everybody's just getting really upset, like getting tired of it.

00:24:30.000 However, there is this contingent that we're seeing on the hard left, the progressive young left, that obviously doesn't want the truth, they just want to kill their enemies.

00:24:39.000 Yep.

00:24:39.000 And everything else feels like, you know, pointless now.

00:24:42.000 And this is why what a the ADL has done.

00:24:44.000 Now they've deleted their entire glossary of I guess their hate hate glossary or whatever.

00:24:49.000 So you can't look at it anymore.

00:24:51.000 But this is what they said about Antifa before.

00:24:53.000 We talk about lies and truth, right?

00:24:56.000 Antifa, a decentralized leaderless movement.

00:24:59.000 So nothing to see here.

00:25:00.000 That's a lie.

00:25:01.000 I can confirm that.

00:25:02.000 Composed of loose collections of groups, networks, and individuals who are vigorously, vigorously.

00:25:07.000 It's like a, you know, it's an oddly positive way to say it, opposed to fascism, and focused on countering right wing extremism, both online and on the ground.

00:25:18.000 And this is where it gets really egregious.

00:25:20.000 While some Antifa adherents have engaged in violence or vandalism at rallies and events, this is not the norm, despite disinformation campaigns that suggest otherwise.

00:25:31.000 Well, as a journalist who has been on the ground and inside of their meetings, I can confirm that's all lies.

00:25:37.000 They they engage in what's called the diversity of tactics.

00:25:40.000 This is the term they use.

00:25:41.000 They have meetings where they invite these peaceful protesters to join their direct action meetings where the leaders, the financiers and the organizers supply tools and signs and resources and a plan.

00:25:52.000 So there's an effective leader, they they work international.

00:25:55.000 We call them the tourists, because somehow the same people in New York are in LA and Turkey. 0.88

00:26:00.000 And then what happens is they tell a certain group, everyone wear the same clothing.

00:26:05.000 You wear black masks that way, when our agents get violent, they can't convict us.

00:26:12.000 It is coordinated.

00:26:13.000 They have legal, they have they have progressive NGOs that specifically go out to provide leg free legal defense.

00:26:20.000 Watch these videos, you'll hear them yell, what's your name and birthday?

00:26:23.000 And as they're getting arrested, they yell their name and birthday.

00:26:25.000 Why?

00:26:26.000 The legal apparatus they have as an aside to their groups, then goes to the legal system, creates reasons by which the person busts me must be released.

00:26:33.000 They exploit our speech laws, our criminal laws, and our court systems, so they can engage in this violence.

00:26:39.000 But I'll just say one last thing.

00:26:41.000 The money comes from somewhere, the signs come from somewhere, the marching plans, what route they're gonna take comes from somewhere, and they're all flying the same symbol.

00:26:49.000 They got leaders.

00:26:50.000 Oh, they've got leaders.

00:26:50.000 And by the way, in places like Portland, you know, we had Tom Homan in the studio yesterday, and you know, you've got this ongoing battle in Portland to defend federal property and the ICE facilities that are by the way getting snipered in places like what there's been three ice facilities that have been shot up, right?

00:27:07.000 Uh illegal immigrants in that instance died in in Texas.

00:27:11.000 So you've in places like Portland, where the local leaders are like, nothing to see here, everything's safe and peaceful.

00:27:18.000 I mean, they have allowed these Antifa militant groups, these guerrilla groups, to grow and fester and unabated.

00:27:25.000 I mean, it it they they are absolutely organized and they they run the city.

00:27:29.000 Proof of the city.

00:27:29.000 Well, I would I what I would say.

00:27:31.000 I would actually point out like the decentralization thing is actually fairly true, and it's how they get away with a lot of what they do, which is they are able to any time someone you know reaches out, they sort of melt away and all of that.

00:27:43.000 And so you do need unusual techniques to go after them.

00:27:47.000 We need to update our techniques and that's the so like when you say like go after the funding networks.

00:27:51.000 A lot of the people in Antifa are huge losers, which means they don't need a lot of money to do things.

00:27:56.000 They're the sort of people who are willing to be quasi-homeless or live out of a really crappy apartment, and all they do all day is go menace ordinary civilized people. 0.89

00:28:06.000 But I think it doesn't take a lot of money to do that.

00:28:08.000 The decentralized thing is is a tricky uh position.

00:28:11.000 The when the ADL says they're leaderless, I don't believe for a second the ADL does not understand how these systems operate.

00:28:19.000 I think they're intentionally covering for the left uh for legal reasons.

00:28:23.000 So in these direct action meetings, they will explain to you why the leaders must remain nameless.

00:28:29.000 They they have explicitly stated at all the meetings, I've been to maybe like a dozen of these.

00:28:33.000 They say if our leaders come forward and they're visible to law enforcement, they will be targeted, arrested, or smeared in the press.

00:28:41.000 So while the leaders do exist, you meet them, you shake their hands.

00:28:45.000 There has to be leaders.

00:28:46.000 Any system eventually people rise up and they become the leaders.

00:28:49.000 Even lobsters have leaders.

00:28:50.000 That's exactly right.

00:28:51.000 Yep.

00:28:51.000 So somebody is telling people where to go because anybody who's worked at a Walmart or a Baskin Robin, sort of, understands some people are management, some people are not.

00:29:01.000 And why is the ADL then claiming it's not it's it's leaderless, other than to just call it?

00:29:05.000 You know what bothers me, and you you had a great bit on this earlier, uh, Blake, a couple shows back, where we're talking about this both sides is them, right?

00:29:12.000 I went on Smirkonish on CNN, I believe the weekend after it happened.

00:29:17.000 And you know how you if you do like a news hit, they they plug you into the program feed, you kind of hear the program before your interview comes up.

00:29:24.000 So you're sitting there watching the show.

00:29:26.000 And you know, Smirkonish is an okay guy.

00:29:28.000 I'm not I'm not I I really don't have any particular bone to pick up, but I got inflamed that day.

00:29:34.000 And it took everything in me to just keep it down the middle on the fairway because I had to sit through a whole this is both sides, both sides need to tone down the red, or both sides need to do this.

00:29:44.000 And I'm I'm sitting here going, like, you guys have no idea what our side has been up against for so long.

00:29:50.000 And guys like you and guys like Steven Crowder and guys like Charlie knew it and and he knew it, and you guys know it firsthand because the death threats and the threats are very real, and there's the calls with the FBI are very real, and you're constantly trying to play whack-a-mole with this stuff because groups like the ADL whitewashed it and they cover for it.

00:30:08.000 And this is again why I got so mad at Jimmy Kimmel, because he that was a tacit indication, a signal saying we're gonna whitewash when people kill conservatives.

00:30:19.000 We're gonna lie about it.

00:30:20.000 And by the way, when you tell me I can't, I'm gonna double down on it because I don't think you you deserve the truth.

00:30:24.000 We we saw this uh Cato study, they say the right is responsible for more extremism, more violence.

00:30:29.000 What they're really doing is they're saying, um, fringe sovereign citizen and white supremacist extremists are the same thing as Charlie Kirk.

00:30:37.000 That's what they were trying to do.

00:30:38.000 I I look at that and I say, okay, I yeah, I literally don't care.

00:30:42.000 Is what is the motivating ideology?

00:30:43.000 This guy attacked the LDS church.

00:30:45.000 Was he motivated by uh Speaker Johnson?

00:30:48.000 He he wasn't.

00:30:49.000 Okay, well, the concern we have when we say the left is that AOC went on the House floor and espoused the same ideology as the alleged assassin.

00:30:57.000 That is where we say, wow, this I this ideology of the liberals of mainstream liberals, moderate democrats, is held by violent extremists.

00:31:04.000 We are concerned about how violent they have gotten.

00:31:07.000 Well, they then say the right is doing it, but you can't compare Steven Crowder or Charlie Kirk to some clan guy in the middle of Nebraska or who knows where.

00:31:16.000 Well, and by the way, you you made the point though that a lot of people were quoting the ADL crime sort of data, some study, and it wasn't it done by a guy that was connected somehow to the Antifa.

00:31:29.000 Oh, yeah.

00:31:29.000 So There's several different studies.

00:31:31.000 I don't know which I can't remember which one.

00:31:32.000 This one this might have been the uh like uh can't remember the name.

00:31:36.000 But yeah, one of those studies they were passing on was just literally made by an Antifa activist.

00:31:40.000 Uh there was like three or four databases that they were like always sharing that do this.

00:31:45.000 Pull up pull up the A ADL heat map, the extremism map, and right wing has right wing white supremacy, white ring white right wing anti-government, and right wing other.

00:31:56.000 Meanwhile, left is just one thing.

00:31:58.000 If it's not a Marxist Leninist who blew up a building, it doesn't count as left-wing violence.

00:32:02.000 For instance, the killing of Aaron Danielson didn't count according to these studies as left-wing violence.

00:32:06.000 Jeez Louise, are you kidding me?

00:32:08.000 It's true.

00:32:09.000 Huh.

00:32:10.000 Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's like as far as you want to go down the rabbit hole, right?

00:32:13.000 It just keeps getting worse and and uh we something has to be done, and I think you're you're spot on that we're gonna have to adjust our our tactics to to you know confront this, or we're all in deep, deep trouble.

00:33:50.000 Uh so, you know, you know, maybe even Charlie would have struggled to keep up with them now, but uh he was amazing at that.

00:33:56.000 Uh please check out the podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, leave a review, five stars, do all the things.

00:34:03.000 And Tim, how can people follow you?

00:34:05.000 At Timcast on X, Timcast I R L on YouTube.

00:34:09.000 Or the the I have the Tim Pool Daily Show and Timcast IRL on all audio podcasts.

00:34:13.000 And you're on Rumble too.

00:34:14.000 Oh yeah, Rumble, man.

00:34:16.000 Oof.

00:34:16.000 Yeah.

00:34:16.000 I had to say that first.

00:34:17.000 Rumble.com slash Timcast IRL, of course.

00:34:20.000 That's our that's our that's our home.

00:34:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:34:22.000 I mean, the home of free speech.

00:34:23.000 And by the way, you know, I think you know, YouTube's been like loosening things up a little bit, but if it wasn't for Rumble, uh, I don't I don't know that we would have been able to keep Charlie on YouTube.

00:34:34.000 Oh, yeah.

00:34:35.000 Right?

00:34:35.000 It was like the counter pressure was super important.

00:34:38.000 Market pressure.

00:34:38.000 All right, we're gonna wrap up our one uh with the final segment hour one, but I think we're just gonna keep streaming through the break.

00:34:44.000 So don't go anywhere.

00:34:46.000 We're gonna welcome back radio.

00:34:48.000 We haven't actually talked about the shutdown yet.

00:34:50.000 We were like, we gotta open with the shutdown, and then we didn't actually talk about the shutdown.

00:34:54.000 We might want to get we can.

00:34:55.000 I don't know if we feel like it.

00:34:57.000 Well, I welcome back to the Charlie Kirk show.

00:34:59.000 Andrew Colvid, executive producer of the Charlie Kirk show.

00:35:03.000 Um You know, I I wanna I do kind of want to talk about Sombrero Gate just because I think it's fun that we are that are the president of the United States is trolling trolling Dollars Dore Obama and uh shut down Schumer.

00:35:17.000 What's great is they're gonna scream that it's racist, and I like guarantee they already are.

00:35:21.000 And that but I guarantee that actual Hispanics, like especially Mexican Americans, will find it extremely funny. 0.55

00:35:26.000 Because it's the same thing with like speedy Gonzalez, where like they would all complain that that's racist, and actual Mexicans love speedy gonzales.

00:35:33.000 Like the Mexican Americans generally really like like Mexican themed like humor and cultural stuff.

00:35:38.000 Uh so we got it.

00:35:39.000 I I totally agree.

00:35:40.000 Even with the the the uh taco taco bowl.

00:35:42.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:35:43.000 Oh, the best taco bowls.

00:35:45.000 We love Hispanics, you know.

00:35:47.000 I mean uh let me see here.

00:35:49.000 Do we actually have the okay?

00:35:51.000 I think this is uh 85.

00:35:53.000 Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it.

00:35:56.000 Nobody likes Democrats anymore.

00:35:58.000 We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bulls. 1.00

00:36:01.000 Not even black people want to vote for us anymore. 0.99

00:36:04.000 Even Latinos hate us. 0.99

00:36:05.000 So we need new voters. 0.89

00:36:08.000 And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. 0.98

00:36:15.000 They can't even speak English.

00:36:17.000 So they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke pieces of you know, at least for a while until they they learn English and they realize they hate us too.

00:36:26.000 My goodness.

00:36:27.000 Alright, but so this is what's great.

00:36:29.000 So sh uh Hakeem Jeffries comes out and is like, you can't do this to me.

00:36:35.000 Like, you're not gonna get me with this bigoted uh which it's not bigoted, guys.

00:36:39.000 You he's making a point that you want to keep healthcare for illegals as we define them, Tim, not a CNN defines them.

00:36:47.000 Uh anyways.

00:36:48.000 Uh so he's making a point about who you're in and obviously many illegals come from south of the border.

00:36:55.000 So let's uh but so he gets all upset about this.

00:36:57.000 So Trump doubles down and posts another one.

00:37:00.000 Play cut 95.

00:37:03.000 We are fighting to protect the health care of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault.

00:37:11.000 All right.

00:37:12.000 Yeah.

00:37:12.000 So so Trump is is will not be cowed.

00:37:15.000 He will not back down.

00:37:16.000 Well, he's investing in the future.

00:37:17.000 These are clearly targeted at younger millennials, Gen Z. And I think about who would be most offended by these things, and it's your, you know, your your aging MSNBC viewer.

00:37:28.000 I think I think exactly younger people are just laughing, being like it's good to have fun, you know.

00:37:33.000 Yeah, that's such a good point, though.

00:37:34.000 It it like if you had to do a psychographic of who would be most offended by this, it's definitely probably not Mexico like Hispanics. 1.00

00:37:45.000 You you really you they've really eroded their ability to find things funny.

00:37:48.000 That's why like all the late night shows are so unfunny or their stand-up comics are so unfunny.

00:37:52.000 Like it's actually the sense of humor is atrophied because they can't handle transgression.

00:37:56.000 So we get the kind of seal clapping humor where they're just like, oh, what about that Trump? 0.99

00:38:02.000 He's such a fascist. 0.99

00:38:03.000 Oh yeah. 1.00

00:38:04.000 Oh, that's so funny.

00:38:06.000 You're not wrong.

00:38:07.000 And I I I actually, you know, I said this to a Fox reporter.

00:38:10.000 They were, you know, because it at some point it got be it became like Colvet versus Kimmel, like I, you know, during the height of that story.

00:38:16.000 And obviously, Kimmel's still on air, but I told the Fox reporter, I was like, listen, I don't want him off the air.

00:38:21.000 I want like I don't want to make a martyr of him.

00:38:23.000 Yeah.

00:38:24.000 I you know, let him let him, you know, go the way that he should on his own accord by not being funny, and by the left just completely losing their sense of humor.

00:38:33.000 Uh, not to mention his ratings are that's what I mean.

00:38:35.000 Yeah.

00:38:35.000 Like the look, um, with all due respect to the older generation, that's who his audience is.

00:38:41.000 He gets, I think in August, he was uh average was 129,000 in the key demo.

00:38:46.000 And you gotta think about how much his show costs.

00:38:48.000 It's probably ten.

00:38:48.000 I think Colbert was what, a hundred million a year.

00:38:51.000 Jimmy Kimmel's got a hundred staffers or over how much.

00:38:54.000 I gotta tell you guys, you know the numbers.

00:38:55.000 A hundred and twenty thou twenty-nine thousand in the key demo for your show is not going to cover one hundred million dollars.

00:39:01.000 No, it's not.

00:39:02.000 It's not, and by the way, like this show does better in that demo.

00:39:05.000 Oh, you could you could post a picture of that and do better in the demo.

00:39:09.000 You know, but like that's what I said.

00:39:10.000 Like, let him just like he's gonna get Colbert.

00:39:12.000 They're gonna realize the numbers don't add up.

00:39:15.000 And you know, in many ways, when Nexstar and Um Sinclair took him off the air, it was kind of pushing against an open door, right?

00:39:23.000 Like they were they were already there's a lot of pressure within the ABC, you know, brass because the show is too expensive and because the ratings are terrible.

00:39:30.000 And you know, if you're coming into this kind of controversy, that's that's not good either.

00:39:34.000 I don't know.

00:39:35.000 I love how they pretend it's Trump's fault all of this is happening.

00:39:37.000 Like Colbert got canceled because of Trump.

00:39:39.000 Oh, yeah, anti-free speech.

00:39:40.000 Yeah, I thought I thought it was the 40 million dollar loss per year.

00:39:43.000 Well, and all the lawsuits.

00:39:44.000 But but's funny is big picture, they're right because uh Trump caused them to make a terrible show nobody wanted to watch.

00:39:50.000 That's true.

00:39:51.000 Good job, everyone.

00:39:52.000 All right, so I played this clip yesterday, but I want to play it again for you.

00:39:55.000 Um, and like I said, I saw some of the people who liked it and on on when I posted it, and they are people that are certainly being targeted.

00:40:03.000 So I mean, everybody is aware of this.

00:40:05.000 Uh, and I don't want to blackpill everybody. 0.51

00:40:08.000 Like, I in my heart, I hope there's a way out of this that doesn't lead to violence.

00:40:13.000 I really do.

00:40:14.000 I really do.

00:40:14.000 I'm I'm not saying you're ever gonna be in a position, Tim, where you can go out and just you know go to the mall.

00:40:19.000 I I mean I maybe you already do that, I don't know.

00:40:21.000 But I'm just I I'm hoping that for the sake of the country that this doesn't have to end the way that it very well could, right?

00:40:28.000 Uh let's go ahead and play cut 57.

00:40:31.000 I'm gonna ask you about this Ruckers report.

00:40:33.000 Good morning.

00:40:33.000 Uh on the network contagion research center.

00:40:36.000 This is their conclusion, okay.

00:40:39.000 Users online are increasingly associating the mimification of Luigi Mangioni with calls for political violence against Elon Musk, President Trump, and others reflecting the growing cyber social presence of assassination culture.

00:40:53.000 And I show you have some findings that they have here on justification.

00:40:58.000 It's alarming.

00:40:59.000 Um and I want to put this up here.

00:41:01.000 This is a justification for murder of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

00:41:05.000 And you'll see here, they found that when it came to the left of center, 50% thought that it was justified to murder Elon Musk.

00:41:15.000 56% for President Trump.

00:41:18.000 Jeez.

00:41:20.000 Houston, we have a problem.

00:41:21.000 There's a way out.

00:41:24.000 There is a generational challenge.

00:41:26.000 I would tell everybody have as many kids as possible, because that is the way out, which means there's some speed bumps for the next 20 years, maybe maybe even 30 or 40.

00:41:34.000 But what we're looking at is the polarization of moral worldview.

00:41:39.000 Clearly, the right doesn't want to kill people, the left feels it's justified in the majority.

00:41:45.000 But if you actually break those polls down, what you'll find is that older liberals do not want to kill people either.

00:41:51.000 The bulk of that bloodlust comes from the younger, younger millennial and Gen Z liberals.

00:41:57.000 Now there is some light at the end of the tunnel in that, as disturbing as this may be, liberals for the longest time are are either through birth control, abortion, or uh child we'll call the well gender affirming care they call it, creating a generation that cannot have kids and they're having less kids themselves.

00:42:14.000 We are seeing this trend towards the right in term uh Gen Z is trending rightward.

00:42:19.000 And it's not just because we are winning culturally through the battle of ideas, but also because conservatives just have kids.

00:42:26.000 So you are going to have this large co cohort over the next 10, 20 or 30 years as they move into industry and politics that are very violent.

00:42:35.000 However, they're not having kids themselves, which means it's a wave that we will get through maybe 20 or 30 years from now.

00:42:41.000 Blake, why don't you talk about I mean, because I could do it, but I I actually just did this on his show.

00:42:47.000 Talk about one, the having family thing.

00:42:50.000 Because I know you have a family, Tim, and that's changed you dramatically.

00:42:54.000 But what Charlie thought about that, but also he was proposing like a moonshot to get young people to buy into America.

00:43:02.000 Yeah, uh it's funny to ask me about this, because of course I'm I'm horrible on this front.

00:43:07.000 But uh but you were there for it.

00:43:10.000 He was yeah, well, he was just very aware that uh when you have atomized people, like individuals whose main point of existence with the world is essentially online because they don't have an IRL as you'd call it, because they don't have a family and they don't have the social networks that a family necessarily creates.

00:43:27.000 Uh that brings down the country.

00:43:30.000 It's as you would say, you know, the most conservatizing events in your life, you know, the marriage mating mortgage thing.

00:43:34.000 Those are all things they increase your stake in society and they increase your connections to society.

00:43:40.000 When you own a home, you're way more likely to know your neighbors to interact with them.

00:43:44.000 When you have kids, it's not merely having kids that you care about the future of, but kids naturally create networks with other people.

00:43:52.000 They go to school, they have friends.

00:43:54.000 They have social like practice.

00:43:56.000 Your friends parents will always tell you who are your friends, very typically just the parents of your children's friends.

00:44:02.000 Yeah, it's true.

00:44:02.000 And I've seen it with my parents where they'll cycle through my siblings get in my younger siblings would get into different activities, and suddenly, oh, there's this new friend of our family is because their kid played basketball with my sister, sort of thing.

00:44:14.000 And all of these are what are creating your tethers to the rest of society.

00:44:19.000 And by extension, your ability to care about society, your ability to care about America.

00:44:24.000 And we enrich that by having more families with more kids.

00:44:28.000 When you have a kid, and Tim, I don't know, you you're pretty new to new to this game.

00:44:33.000 But when you have kids, all of a sudden it changes the way you look at content that you see on on the streaming platforms or whatever.

00:44:41.000 It changes the way you look at laws or homelessness.

00:44:44.000 It changes the way you look at how we take care of public parks, you know, smelling weed in public places.

00:44:50.000 It it it starts forcing you to think about the world in a different way.

00:44:56.000 I don't I I agree with you.

00:44:57.000 I think I'm a little different in that I've never liked the smell of weed in public places.

00:45:02.000 Nor have I. Yeah.

00:45:03.000 But you know, it's one of those things, by the way, Charlie was super anti-weed, and he would take so much, you know, gruff for it.

00:45:09.000 Uh, because you know, a lot of people are sort of libertarian about it.

00:45:12.000 Right.

00:45:12.000 I'm I'm a bit libertarian it, but I think the answer is culture.

00:45:15.000 So we're talking about if if you have kids and you instill your your children with your values, laws don't matter.

00:45:21.000 Laws are for when your society has no trust and your morals have broken.

00:45:25.000 Yeah, too.

00:45:25.000 And that that's that's uh a uh a terrifying thought that we have to explain to some people why not to murder.

00:45:34.000 But if everybody had been instilled with proper values, yeah, it wouldn't matter.

00:45:38.000 That's amazing, isn't it?

00:45:39.000 Yeah, and and this is the interesting thing about say the Ten Commandments, for instance, thou shalt not murder.

00:45:43.000 If you have a if there was a if if everyone in this country had the same morals of Charlie Kirk, you would need no police.

00:45:50.000 You would need nothing.

00:45:52.000 In fact, you wouldn't even need a cup of sugar because you can knock on his door and he'd lend it to you without it without without a thought.

00:45:57.000 Yep.

00:45:59.000 This is Lane Schoenberger, chief investment officer and founding partner of Y Refi.

00:46:04.000 It has been an honor and a privilege to partner with Turning Point and for Charlie to endorse us.

00:47:10.000 We're getting just a full house in here.

00:47:12.000 So Tim Pool.

00:47:14.000 Thanks for thanks for being here, Tim.

00:47:15.000 You know, thanks for having me.

00:47:16.000 You know, you know, we were asking people to come in, you know, we're like, oh, you know, people take a day or something, and Tim's like, I'll be there all week.

00:47:22.000 Well in order in order to do Timcast IRL, I there's no way to travel in and out.

00:47:27.000 So I was like, I can do it if we can and but TP USA, you guys are amazing.

00:47:30.000 They set us they set a studio up for the case.

00:47:31.000 But how cool is that that it's it's you so you're doing your show every single day from because I remember my buddy was when he heard when you were on Andrew was on the other day, he goes, Oh, did Andrew fly to West Virginia because he was just listening.

00:47:45.000 And and I was like, No, he's right here.

00:47:47.000 Why?

00:47:47.000 And I was like, well, but he's there in the room with Tim.

00:47:49.000 I was like, no, dude, Tim Cast is here.

00:47:52.000 How did you get him out of his compound?

00:47:54.000 Um I just want to I was supportive.

00:47:57.000 We were we were talking about Kimmel, by the way, and I do believe, you know, basically uh there's an article here from Zero Hedge.

00:48:04.000 Jimmy Kimmel's audience numbers implode after brief spike.

00:48:08.000 So he gets six point five million for his his night back, right?

00:48:12.000 But now he's averaged 1.77 million total viewers, uh down like a lot from 2015 highs, right?

00:48:22.000 And in the demo, you're totally right.

00:48:24.000 It's like in the 25 to 54 Thursdays episode, hemorrhaging 73% of viewers from that critical category off its high.

00:48:32.000 Wow.

00:48:32.000 Yeah, but but remember, so Jimmy Kimmel's show doesn't exist to get ratings.

00:48:37.000 Jimmy Kimmel's show exists to spread propaganda.

00:48:40.000 So they do not care.

00:48:42.000 Well, well, liberal church.

00:48:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:48:46.000 Right.

00:48:46.000 They're fake religion.

00:48:47.000 So it's it's it's it's this is this is the you know, for your liberal boomers that still watch him.

00:48:53.000 This is, you know, they love it.

00:48:54.000 They think it's the funniest thing ever.

00:48:56.000 They think it's the greatest thing ever.

00:48:58.000 They think they actually did something.

00:49:00.000 And the fact that it loses money from Disney, by the way, which is of course one of America's most beloved institutions prior to the current ownership or current, you know, managership, is again something to love because uh because remember, uh, they can never create.

00:49:16.000 All they can do is corrupt and destroy.

00:49:18.000 And so that's what they're doing, which they did also, by the way, to Jimmy Kimmel, who used to be great.

00:49:22.000 Let me let me fix that statement.

00:49:23.000 It's anti-church.

00:49:24.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:49:26.000 It's an anti-Jo.

00:49:26.000 Now it's better.

00:49:27.000 That's better.

00:49:28.000 I was like, where you go in, Tim.

00:49:29.000 I was reading for my rosary.

00:49:31.000 I mean to say that it is where they're joking, it's right where they meet their fake high priests of their demonic sermon.

00:49:38.000 Hundred percent.

00:49:39.000 100%.

00:49:39.000 So we talked about sermon, what we wanted to talk about next.

00:49:42.000 Yeah.

00:49:43.000 Well, we took what we want to talk about next is something that you've been keying in on, Tim, and that's Dana White and Joe Rogan.

00:49:50.000 And I think it's a really fascinating kind of conversation that you're do you want to set the premise for us and we can play the clip.

00:49:56.000 Sure.

00:49:57.000 I I I excuse me, I have tremendous respect for Dana White.

00:50:00.000 I'm a huge fan of his business acumen, let alone UFC.

00:50:02.000 And Joe's a good friend who's uh really helped me out in my my life and career personally, so I I say this with all due respect.

00:50:09.000 I I it's it is either that they are not actively paying attention or they are deeply scared about what is happening to this country.

00:50:16.000 And so again, I don't say this with any derision.

00:50:19.000 Dana White came out recently saying, Oh, we can't have this cancel culture over Charlie Kirk's assassination, it's wrong.

00:50:24.000 And I feel like something something to that effect that people are losing their jobs.

00:50:29.000 I've I feel like that misses the big picture.

00:50:30.000 Joe Rogan has a viral clip right now where he says he's surprised at so many people celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

00:50:36.000 And the reason I bring that up is well, I've I've been on Joe's show several times and talked to him sp explicitly about this.

00:50:42.000 In fact, the the Twitter episode ended with me saying I was going to go live in a van down by the river to avoid the coming civil war because of what they were fomenting on the case.

00:50:50.000 That's when you're on with Jack and Vijaya.

00:50:52.000 Yeah.

00:50:53.000 The the systems that they had built ten years ago I had warned about.

00:50:57.000 So I'm I'm surprised to see uh Joe is shocked by the celebration from these liberals.

00:51:02.000 I'm I'm wondering if there's actually more of a look, I'm just gonna say it, I'm tired of being over over overly diplomatic to people when I have some critique of them.

00:51:12.000 And I know there's there's so much that I owe Joe, but I do feel like he's saying these things because he's scared of what the left will do to him and his family, and so he's kind of walking things back and acting like, oh, I I had no idea.

00:51:24.000 Well, let's play the clip then.

00:51:26.000 Um here's Joe Rogan.

00:51:27.000 Uh play cut ninety nine.

00:51:29.000 Yeah.

00:51:29.000 I I never expected so many people would celebrate that man's murder.

00:51:34.000 That is evil.

00:51:35.000 That's bizarre.

00:51:39.000 That I think think they're good people.

00:51:41.000 And they think they genuinely think that guy was a bad guy.

00:51:45.000 And I don't think they're right, and I think they were indoctrinated.

00:51:48.000 And I I don't agree with everything that Charlie Kirk said or did.

00:51:51.000 I don't care if he was a bad guy or not.

00:51:52.000 He's not a bad guy.

00:51:53.000 I don't want to see him.

00:51:54.000 I don't want to see anybody die.

00:51:56.000 He Joe's called them a cult before.

00:51:58.000 So I know he just said they were indoctrinated, but I saw that, and I'm just kind of thinking, I don't know how you spend as many years in the cultural space as you have and find yourself surprised.

00:52:09.000 But I I I will cut him some slack.

00:52:11.000 Perhaps what he means to say is I've experienced a little surprise myself.

00:52:15.000 Middle of the road liberals who are relatively apolitical that I knew celebrating on Facebook that I was friends with.

00:52:22.000 Um maybe I should cut him a little bit of slack on that one.

00:52:25.000 But as to the the Dana White oh, the cancel culture.

00:52:28.000 I haven't heard this.

00:52:29.000 Let's play this.

00:52:30.000 Okay, let's play uh cut ninety-eight. 0.98

00:52:31.000 I'm a big believer in free speech, and unfortunately, probably the most important speech to protect is hate speech.

00:52:39.000 You're not a fan of cancel culture.

00:52:41.000 No, I hate it.

00:52:42.000 On both sides.

00:52:43.000 It's like all the stuff that's going on with with Charlie right now.

00:52:47.000 Uh you know, these people are going out and saying stuff and you know, you're seeing people getting fired or kicked out of school.

00:52:53.000 You don't you don't think they should be fired? 0.98

00:52:54.000 I think you're a disgusting human being if you're celebrating the death of another human being. 0.99

00:52:59.000 But people make mistakes and people are gonna do dumb things. 1.00

00:53:04.000 I don't like trying to destroy people's lives um over doing something dumb.

00:53:12.000 Yeah, so I just drank a form yesterday and I'm like, I want to like throw up after that's his energy drink. 0.98

00:53:18.000 I'm like, that's that's that's the dumbest thing. 0.99

00:53:20.000 That's literally the dumbest thing. 0.99

00:53:21.000 So cancel culture is when you dig up someone's like old statements and try to get them kids. 0.99

00:53:27.000 Like when you when you like what you say that's I don't think police are.

00:53:32.000 Or or at least if it's like something they say, like people just lost their jobs because they said, like, I don't think there should be riots.

00:53:38.000 People lost their jobs because they said I think riots might hurt Democrats in the elections.

00:53:43.000 How about people lost their jobs for that?

00:53:45.000 How about Vivek Ramaswamy?

00:53:47.000 He didn't put an appropriate image on Instagram and he got a uh a letter from his like his board wrote him a letter being like you weren't sufficiently angry over.

00:53:56.000 Yeah, that's not that's not cancel culture at all.

00:53:58.000 That's people saying, I don't want my my ch have to bring my child to a doctor's office that has that doctor or has that nurse or I don't want that person working in my HR department because you're celebrating someone's murder.

00:54:11.000 That's totally different from cancel culture.

00:54:14.000 It's not even in the same ballpark at all.

00:54:16.000 I don't uh honestly, you are correct, but I'm gonna say this.

00:54:20.000 I don't care make it cancel culture, and I'll tell you why.

00:54:22.000 The line for the left, and this is to your to your point that you're correct on.

00:54:25.000 The line for the left is you said something that disagrees with our pseudo our our non-theistic religion.

00:54:31.000 Yeah.

00:54:32.000 The right has said, don't don't push assassination culture any further.

00:54:36.000 That's our line.

00:54:37.000 My attitude is this.

00:54:39.000 We are at a point where they celebrated the assassination of Brian Thompson, venerated this guy, the alleged assassin.

00:54:47.000 Not even a year later, Charlie Kirk is killed.

00:54:49.000 It has come home for all of us who have been begging for it to stop.

00:54:53.000 I I a couple weeks ago said, I won't call for these people to be fired, but I will not defend them.

00:55:00.000 And Will Chamberlain said, You're too nice.

00:55:02.000 I think they should be fired.

00:55:03.000 I think they should be canceled, because a society that tolerates the veneration of assassins and assassinations is a society that has opened the door to civil war.

00:55:11.000 And immediately I said, You're right.

00:55:13.000 Yeah, I I'm I'm I'm on that with the case.

00:55:15.000 This isn't a principle thing.

00:55:17.000 This is a if we want the country to be saved kind of thing, you need to draw the line.

00:55:22.000 This is my energy though.

00:55:23.000 I am I am so on board with cancel culture.

00:55:26.000 If you if and by the way, one of the things that gave me strength in the immediate aftermath was seeing accounts like Libs of TikTok just like calling these people out, blasting them up, these uh these tweets are going crazy, people getting fired.

00:55:38.000 I was like, yes, because this is absurd that we would put up with this as a culture.

00:55:43.000 You should be canceled. 1.00

00:55:44.000 You are a disgusting gross human being if you do that. 1.00

00:55:47.000 And I don't care what happens to you at that point. 1.00

00:55:49.000 I mean, obviously I don't want physical violence against it, but I think you should lose your job.

00:55:52.000 If if I'm an employer and I find out that my employee is doing that, good riddance.

00:55:56.000 You're good canceling them back.

00:55:58.000 That's the key.

00:55:59.000 With your canceling someone who is celebrating the literal canceling of the man who sat in this chair right here.

00:56:07.000 And if you're gonna celebrate that, then yeah, you should lose your job, you should lose your pension, you should use your la your rank if you're in the military, whatever it is, lose it, lose all of it.

00:56:18.000 Man, that gets me fired up, guys.

00:56:20.000 I'm not gonna lie.

00:56:21.000 As it should.

00:56:21.000 Go ahead, Tim.

00:56:22.000 What happens to our society when Dana White says it is okay for half the population to celebrate assassins?

00:56:30.000 Yep.

00:56:30.000 That's the only question that matters.

00:56:32.000 So you I know people are he said people are gonna be like, Tim, free speech matters.

00:56:36.000 I say, okay, agreed.

00:56:38.000 Now let's calculate that let's let's find finish that equation. 0.91

00:56:42.000 You have two distinct moral world views.

00:56:45.000 One is celebrating assassins consistently now, over and over again.

00:56:49.000 They're calling for more.

00:56:51.000 My name is on that list.

00:56:54.000 You'll get what you asked for.

00:56:55.000 And so for me, liberal cancel culture was did you offend our non-theistic religion?

00:57:02.000 You're banned.

00:57:03.000 My line is when you when you advocate for the destruction of our political systems through murder, I say you should be excised from polite society.

00:57:12.000 You can come back, forgiveness is always available for those uh who who, you know, perhaps give an act of contrition of some sort.

00:57:19.000 Because speech isn't the most.

00:57:21.000 But if we say Jimmy Kimmel, tens of millions of liberals can go online and make money, get followers, build build media businesses off of celebrating assassins, you're looking at Rwanda all over again.

00:57:32.000 Radio Rwanda.

00:57:33.000 Yeah, so and and and Andrew, the only thing I would just tweak to what you're saying is we don't celebrate cancel culture, but we will use counter cancel culture to end all of it.

00:57:43.000 Well, this is what Emily uh one of our listeners says.

00:57:46.000 It's not it's consequence consequence culture, not cancel culture.

00:57:49.000 Hey guys, I'll offer you this alternative to cancel culture.

00:57:52.000 It's not a matter of canceling them for their words, it's a matter of them suffering the consequences of their words.

00:57:57.000 That was their argument.

00:57:58.000 That is their argument.

00:57:58.000 Yeah.

00:57:59.000 Yeah.

00:57:59.000 And it's like I mean, listen, but but like we don't want to repeat, we don't want to repeat their exact lingo because like correct that's their justification for everyone.

00:58:06.000 But I think that's what I'm saying.

00:58:08.000 Counter cancel.

00:58:09.000 This is a single, this is a basically a singular exception, which is you are just not allowed to glorify political violence, period.

00:58:18.000 So here's here's the quote from Robert Jones.

00:58:19.000 This is back all the way back in 2015.

00:58:21.000 And this guy was like an SJW, and he said, he said, we can disagree and still love each other.

00:58:27.000 This guy's like a liberal SJW type.

00:58:28.000 We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression, denial of my humanity, and right to exist.

00:58:37.000 Uh Yeah.

00:58:38.000 And that's when the talking stops.

00:58:40.000 Here's here's the f philosophical reality is that.

00:58:43.000 When the right was talking about free speech, it was presented as a very binary choice for the average person, but there was always a depth to it.

00:58:49.000 And that is at what point would a conservative fire someone from their company for something they said?

00:58:53.000 It always existed.

00:58:55.000 I said this never has.

00:58:57.000 Indeed.

00:58:58.000 I said this of my company during cancel culture peak or whatever.

00:59:02.000 If someone at my company went on like a serious racist tyrant, I'd fire them too.

00:59:06.000 If they were posting things about how they were disparaging people of a certain race, I'd say, listen, you don't reflect our values.

00:59:11.000 I don't know why you'd want to work with us.

00:59:13.000 It doesn't represent what this company is doing.

00:59:15.000 The issue.

00:59:16.000 Conservatives have a wide range of tolerance for ideas.

00:59:19.000 You can see this in all the data.

00:59:20.000 That is, if someone said something racist, you wouldn't be like a quick get on my company.

00:59:24.000 You'd say, let's have a conversation about it and figure out why you're saying this.

00:59:27.000 Often people would then say, you know what, maybe I was a little gruff, they would get fired right away.

00:59:31.000 Tolerance was greater for the right.

00:59:33.000 The left said no tolerance even for jokes.

00:59:36.000 Well, we found our cancel culture line.

00:59:38.000 It is no one should be allowed to work in polite society when they're calling for the death of other people.

00:59:42.000 That's a hard line.

00:59:44.000 And that's what was so radicalizing, I think about it for people that it wasn't just AOC and Ilhan Omar and Barack Obama who were smearing Charlie and Death.

00:59:53.000 It was regular people.

00:59:55.000 Just your your nurse, your HR director, uh, people that you work, people in the military, people who fly airplanes.

01:00:04.000 I mean, this is serious stuff.

01:00:06.000 And if you've got people who've got the power of life and death, it literally in their hands every day.

01:00:11.000 And that's what they believe, you realize how bad the brain rot has gotten in this country.

01:00:15.000 Everyone knows that even right now, where we sit, there are things that if we said it would destroy our professional careers.

01:00:19.000 Of course, there's things you don't say.

01:00:21.000 Conservatives tend to be honest and have always been about what we can and can't talk about, and liberals just said we'll ban you if you defy us.

01:00:27.000 Um we do, we are working, the studio's gonna tell me, okay, it is ready.

01:00:32.000 Let's go ahead and throw to this press conference with JD Vance and Caroline Levitt.

01:00:35.000 to hear what they're saying.

01:00:36.000 A partisan clean piece of legislation to extend current government funding until November 21st.

01:00:43.000 But nearly every single Democrat senator voted against this bill.

01:00:48.000 To be clear, this was the exact same bill that Democrats approved six short months ago in March, just adjusted for inflation.

01:00:56.000 This is the same kind of clean funding bill that Democrats passed 13 separate times when they held the majority during Joe Biden's administration.

01:01:05.000 So the American people woke up this morning and asked the obvious question: why is the government shut down right now?

01:01:13.000 The answer is pure partisan politics being played by the Democrat Party.

01:01:17.000 The Democrats shut down the government because President Trump and the Republicans will not force American taxpayers to pay for free health care for illegal aliens. 0.77

01:01:27.000 America is 37 trillion dollars in debt.

01:01:30.000 We cannot pro afford to provide taxpayer-funded free health care to illegals who broke the law to enter our country. 1.00

01:01:37.000 To put this all into perspective, the Democrats refused to keep the government open over health care to illegal aliens, and now now have jeopardized critical health care programs for American citizens instead. 0.64

01:01:49.000 The Women, Infants and Children program, Community Health Center funding, Medicare treatment options, and other health programs are now all at risk because of the Democrats rejecting the clean CR.

01:02:01.000 The most vulnerable in our country are being punished because the Democrats want to prioritize illegals over American citizens.

01:02:09.000 And if Democrats actually cared about health care, they would applaud the actions taken by President Trump just yesterday in the Oval Office.

01:02:17.000 He took a bold and massively popular action to improve our health care system.

01:02:22.000 He announced the first agreement with a major pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, to lower drug costs for Americans.

01:02:29.000 This is a historical achievement long sought by past Democrat presidents that only President Trump was able to get done.

01:02:37.000 Also, yesterday, while the Democrats were whining about health care for illegal aliens, President Trump signed a powerful executive order to supercharge American AI innovation and unlock cures for pediatric cancer patients in the United States.

01:02:52.000 While President Trump took action to lower drug prices and improve the lives and the care of American children with cancer, Again, Democrats are fighting to give health care benefits to illegal aliens. 0.92

01:03:05.000 The Trump administration is fully committed to lowering health care costs and advancing policies that will save American lives.

01:03:11.000 But right now, we need to keep the government open and funded.

01:03:15.000 And individuals and organizations across the political spectrum, across the country agree with the Trump administration and Republicans.

01:03:23.000 The labor union leader, the Teamsters, Sean O'Brien, sent a very blunt message to Democrats over their destructive antics.

01:03:30.000 He said American workers are not bargaining chips.

01:03:34.000 Senators need to stop screwing around and pass the House Passed Clean short-term funding bill. 1.00

01:03:39.000 The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business organization, called to immediately pass the Republican Clean CR, saying, quote, shutdowns are harmful to the economy, the American people, and our national security.

01:03:52.000 And even Democrat Senators Cortez Masto and Fetterman acknowledged that their party is betraying the American people with this costly and chaotic Democrat shutdown.

01:04:03.000 Enough is enough.

01:04:04.000 Democrats need to stop sabotaging our country and holding the American people hostage in the country.

01:04:09.000 Democrats need to do their jobs.

01:04:11.000 The American people want the government reopened, and this is proven in a new New York Times poll showing that two and three Americans say the government should not be shut down by the Democrats, even if their absurd demands are not met.

01:04:25.000 The President and Republicans are working very hard to reopen the Federal Government.

01:04:29.000 The Vice President here has been crucial in this effort.

01:04:32.000 We encourage all Americans across the country.

01:04:34.000 Call your Democrat senators and encourage them to reopen the government.

01:04:38.000 That's what President Trump and the Vice President want to do.

01:04:41.000 And with that, I will turn it over to our great Vice President JD Vance.

01:04:44.000 Great.

01:04:45.000 Well, thank you, Carolina, and good afternoon to everybody, and good afternoon to everybody who's watching at home.

01:04:50.000 It's a tough act to follow, but let me just say a few things, and then I'll take a few questions.

01:04:54.000 Number one, Democrats say that they care a lot about lowering health care costs, and yet, when the president took historic action to work with the drug companies to lower prescription drug prices, the Democrats did nothing to help us.

01:05:06.000 In fact, we would have loved to have the Democrats helping us, but they didn't.

01:05:10.000 They talk about doing something.

01:05:11.000 They don't actually do the hard work of making it happen.

01:05:14.000 What they have done instead is to shut down the government because we won't give billions of dollars to health care funding for illegal aliens. 0.99

01:05:20.000 That is what has actually happened.

01:05:22.000 To the American people who are watching, the reason your government is shut down at this very minute is because, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans and even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government, the Chuck Schumer AOC wing of the Democratic Party shut down the government because they said to us, we will open the government, but only if you give billions of dollars of funding for health care for illegal aliens.

01:05:46.000 That's a ridiculous proposition.

01:05:48.000 Let me say two two other quick things, then and then again I'll take some questions. 0.72

01:05:52.000 Number one, we all understand that Democrats and Republicans have policy disagreements.

01:05:56.000 Democrats want to do things.

01:05:58.000 Look, when Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries were in here a couple of days ago, they made some suggestions that the president was more than happy to say, yes, let's sit down and talk about how we can solve the health care crisis that we inherited from the Biden administration.

01:06:11.000 But it's one thing to say that we should solve the health care crisis for Americans.

01:06:14.000 It's another thing to say that we're going to shut down the government unless we give the Democrats every single thing that they want, which, as Caroline says, includes giving billions of dollars of taxpayer funding for health care for illegal migrants. 0.89

01:06:27.000 That's ridiculous.

01:06:29.000 You don't have policy disagreements that serve as the basis for a government shutdown. 0.54

01:06:33.000 Let's have the conversation about how to fix American health care, about how to make health care more accessible.

01:06:38.000 As the president showed, he's more than willing to act on behalf of the American people for this very reason.

01:06:45.000 What you don't do is say, unless you do exactly what we want to do as congressional Democrats, we're taking hostage.

01:06:52.000 And the hostage, it turns out, is critical, essential services that the American people need.

01:06:57.000 Caroline talked about some of it.

01:06:58.000 Let me talk about some more.

01:06:59.000 Our troops are not getting paid starting today because of the Chuck Schumer wing of the Democratic Party.

01:07:05.000 We have people who require food assistance, low income Americans who require food assistance, who will not get it unless we reopen the government thanks to Chuck Schumer and his wing of the Democratic Party.

01:07:18.000 We have flood insurance as we start hurricane season in the southeastern part of our country.

01:07:24.000 That flood insurance is going to disappear because of Chuck Schumer and the far left of the Democratic Party.

01:07:29.000 We need to reopen the government.

01:07:31.000 Let's fix America's problems.

01:07:33.000 Let's work together to solve them.

01:07:34.000 But let's reopen the government before we have our negotiation about health care policy.

01:07:40.000 That's what the American people demand.

01:07:41.000 And that's certainly what the president of the United States wants.

01:07:45.000 final point.

01:07:46.000 I think a lot of Americans are asking themselves, why did this happen?

01:07:49.000 Why did the Democrats shut down the government despite, as Caroline said, voting on the exact same piece of legislation six months ago?

01:07:55.000 And there are a lot of different spins that we can put on it, a lot of different answers that we could give, all of them true.

01:08:00.000 One answer I already gave is that they want to give health care benefits to illegal aliens. 0.98

01:08:04.000 That is true.

01:08:05.000 They gave us legislative text that would have undone us cutting off health care benefits for illegal aliens.

01:08:12.000 That's one of the things that they asked for.

01:08:14.000 But the reality here, and let's be honest about the politics, is that Chuck Schumer is terrified she's gonna get a primary challenge from Alexandria Ocasia Cortez.

01:08:23.000 The reason why the American people's government is shut down is because Chuck Schumer is listening to the far left radicals in his own party because he's terrified of a primary challenge.

01:08:33.000 So I'd invite Chuck Schumer to join the moderate Democrats and 52 Senate Republicans, do the right thing, open up the people's government, and then let's fix healthcare policy for the American people.

01:08:44.000 questions.

01:09:49.000 Alright, so I think JD Vance is doing a good job.

01:09:52.000 I mean just a quick note on what he's doing.

01:09:55.000 You know, when when the vice president comes up and handles the press briefing, you know, you know, he means business.

01:09:59.000 But again, I can't get out of the fact, get get get away from the fact that this feels like a Washington bubble story, right?

01:10:05.000 Like the rest of America kinda doesn't care.

01:10:07.000 Especially, you know, like when they're killing us.

01:10:09.000 He's actually doing QA right now.

01:10:10.000 He's doing QA right now, and it's pretty great.

01:10:12.000 And he he made a good point, uh, Tim, you were like, hey, that was a good point.

01:10:15.000 Uh maybe repeat it for the audience.

01:10:17.000 Yeah, Democrats are blaming Republicans, but he was like repo every Republican voted to open up the government.

01:10:21.000 Democrats are the one who voted it down.

01:10:23.000 Yeah.

01:10:23.000 Because they didn't get what they wanted.

01:10:25.000 Yeah, it's pretty simple.

01:10:27.000 It's pretty simple, right?

01:10:28.000 Uh I want to shift gears here just a little bit, and that is to this bad bunny thing.

01:10:34.000 Which actually feels like kind of lighthearted to talk about, actually.

01:10:37.000 Like our one was kind of a downer.

01:10:38.000 I apologize.

01:10:39.000 I would just like to say, full disclosure, I have never heard of Bad Bunny.

01:10:46.000 The only reason I know about him is because they inserted him in Happy Gilmore 2.

01:10:50.000 And I was like, who is this guy that they're making like a main character of Happy Gilmore 2 that I've never heard of before?

01:10:57.000 And he's just like, oh, it's Bad Bunny.

01:10:59.000 You don't know who Bad Bunny is. 1.00

01:11:00.000 I'm like, uh who?

01:11:02.000 I have all of his albums.

01:11:06.000 Is he a musician?

01:11:07.000 Is that what he's doing?

01:11:08.000 Yeah, well, this is the guy that's bad bunny.

01:11:10.000 He sells those fidget spinners at the mall.

01:11:12.000 And this is like what's kind of interesting about there he is.

01:11:14.000 There's Bad Bunny.

01:11:15.000 He's sort of dressed in female garb or whatever.

01:11:19.000 There he's really in female garb, uh, apparently.

01:11:22.000 I think this is like prosthetics and things.

01:11:24.000 He's, you know.

01:11:25.000 He's very interesting.

01:11:26.000 He's Puerto Rican.

01:11:27.000 Those are natural.

01:11:28.000 He's Puerto Rican.

01:11:31.000 You know, apparently the angle here.

01:11:34.000 Yeah, I mean, if day Daisy, if you want to come in and fill us in, like, let's just let's just do it.

01:11:38.000 But but the apparently the angle here is that the NFL is trying to get more and more international.

01:11:45.000 Americans are not huge on Bad Bunny, at least not compared to the international audience.

01:11:50.000 This is why the NFL is going to London and they're doing all these things.

01:11:52.000 And he's really big in like Latin America, South America.

01:11:54.000 Because uh doesn't he sing in Spanish or whatever?

01:11:57.000 Well, there you go.

01:11:58.000 You know, that's and that's why.

01:11:59.000 So I like Despicino.

01:12:01.000 We had that We literally had to blur this out.

01:12:03.000 Yeah, like there are crossover songs, but he doesn't have any.

01:12:05.000 But something that something that I want to say though is that so I I looked this up, and you know, I actually spoke to some contacts in the industry about this, and they said the way it works with these selections, and people keep as people keep coming to me and they'll say, they'll say, why is it that rock hasn't had a single act in 16 years?

01:12:23.000 And so for the last at least five or six years, Jay-Z and Rock Nation, so Barack Obama's best friend Jay-Z and Rock Nation have an exclusive contract for uh the Super Bowl for the halftime show, and they actually have a ton of pull when it comes to like the Grammys and who gets to perform and things like that.

01:12:39.000 So they it's it's a very deliberate corporate push.

01:12:43.000 That's why you see him inserted into the Netflix Happy Gilmore 2 movie.

01:12:46.000 That's why you see him pushed up at the Super Bowl halftime show.

01:12:49.000 It is not because of to Andrew's point, um, it is not because the fans are are clamoring for this, it's because they're trying to open it.

01:12:57.000 This is what's crazy, and because they have a deal with JJ.

01:12:59.000 He doesn't even sing songs in English.

01:13:01.000 He's got no songs in by the way, hi, Daisy.

01:13:03.000 Hi.

01:13:04.000 He has songs where other English speakers are on them and they sing in English, but he does not sing in English at all.

01:13:11.000 That's wild.

01:13:12.000 Anything that he sings is in Spanish.

01:13:14.000 And he's also said that he will only sing in Spanish to pay homage to his.

01:13:20.000 What kind of country are we living in?

01:13:21.000 Like, this is this is this is America's favorite sport.

01:13:25.000 I said this earlier.

01:13:26.000 He was globally the number one most streamed artist 2020, 2021, and 2022.

01:13:32.000 2024, he was sitting at the third most streamed artist in the world.

01:13:35.000 And his most popular locations are Latin America, but second to Latin America is the United States.

01:13:40.000 Well, I wonder why.

01:13:44.000 This is like some s satanic video.

01:13:47.000 Do we care?

01:13:48.000 Do we care?

01:13:48.000 This is kind of like we should care because this is you know, this is what they would c say cultural colonization, right?

01:13:56.000 So people would say that, oh, when America pushes cultural colonization across other countries, you know, with American movies and American film and portraying American values, this is reverse cultural colonization to America, where because we've taken in so many millions of migrants from Latin America and South America that have come up now.

01:14:16.000 Now America has a market for this that is totally different from the core American population.

01:14:22.000 And that's why they're trying to merge that by putting it in with the NFL, which is obviously an American institution.

01:14:28.000 They're saying, Oh, well, you know, we can we can merge these all together now.

01:14:32.000 And again, they're they're going for that market share.

01:14:34.000 It's literally just a business move because of these massive fluctuations in our culture.

01:14:38.000 I I was a big fan of uh Taylor Swift being in all these football games, and people had complained about it.

01:14:43.000 And the reason the reason why it was good is Daisy was too, by the way.

01:14:46.000 It's very good.

01:14:46.000 It was very, very good news while Daisy was also on the wrong side.

01:14:49.000 Young, young women, young teenage girls would would come into the living room where their dads were watching football and say, I want to sit and watch this with you, dad.

01:14:57.000 And that gave an opportunity for fathers to connect with their children and try and strengthen those bonds.

01:15:03.000 A lot of people complained about it, but why do we have Taylor Swift here?

01:15:05.000 It's like, let that happen.

01:15:07.000 You know why they're doing the bad money thing now is the kids who may start watching football are now going to get the weird trans leftist stuff injected into the football games so they can try and reverse that trend we saw from Taylor Swift. 0.93

01:15:19.000 Well, and they've been doing the they've been using the NFL for social engineering all the way back to when Barack Obama was using was cutting deals with the Baltimore Ravens to push Obamacare.

01:15:27.000 So they they've understood the use of the NFL and the the left has understood the use of the NFL, pop culture.

01:15:33.000 Again, Netflix, the Obamas have a huge deal with Netflix on the production side, a lot of money laundering, obviously going on there.

01:15:38.000 Then obviously now you got Jay-Z, who's Obama's best literal best friend and Beyonce, um, who are in charge of selection process for these halftime shows. 0.55

01:15:48.000 And so what do they use?

01:15:49.000 They push the culture engineering, they push this on top of you, and people came down on me for you know talking about Taylor Swift two years ago, 100% right, by the way.

01:15:57.000 And uh and now that and proven right as well, and and now they're doing the exact same thing with Bad Bunny, and I really do think that you can't you can't have that discussion without talking about these massive uh population demographic shifts in our country that are going on.

01:16:14.000 You just can't.

01:16:15.000 It's not gonna work.

01:16:16.000 And I'll give you a really good example.

01:16:17.000 I was watching this movie with Chris Pratt and I think Millie Bibi Brown or whatever, you know that robot one?

01:16:21.000 Did you guys watch it?

01:16:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:23.000 Well, do you notice the music was all like eighty late eighties rock and early nineties?

01:16:27.000 It's set in the 90s, yeah, oddly.

01:16:29.000 So I'm watching all these films and I'm wondering why it is like they're playing songs from 30 years ago in their soundtracks because rock works in a lot of these action movies.

01:16:39.000 We don't have strong modern rock.

01:16:40.000 No, but it's still apparent to people who make movies that you need it.

01:16:45.000 They have tried to force the evolution of culture. 0.59

01:16:48.000 It doesn't work.

01:16:49.000 If you go back in time and look at the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, you can see how music evolves over time.

01:16:56.000 And you can see when they came in and when they went.

01:16:58.000 Like how disco moves in, you know, and the pop changes, how rock evolves.

01:17:04.000 They have tried over the past 20 years to hard stop American culture and music. 0.53

01:17:08.000 Yes.

01:17:09.000 And inject a foreign world, you know, kind of theme to change American culture. 0.89

01:17:15.000 It doesn't work.

01:17:16.000 And and and that's what they're gonna see with Get Will Go Broke when people complain about this and they're not they're they're gonna try and internationalize or whatever, but they're gonna lose American audience.

01:17:25.000 But but this is the one pushback to that is to Jack's point.

01:17:28.000 They've imported the international audience into our domestic audience.

01:17:32.000 But when you have a popular vote winner in Donald Trump and a demand for immigration, the response is simple here.

01:17:38.000 Bring on Creed.

01:17:39.000 You need Creed, we need Scottstaff, we need to slide down from the Raptors, the greatest halftime show that has ever taken.

01:17:47.000 Let me give let me give the audience a little context.

01:17:50.000 Let me give the audience.

01:17:51.000 That was the peak of America.

01:17:52.000 Hold on.

01:17:53.000 2004.

01:17:54.000 Let me give the audience a little context.

01:17:55.000 Jack Super Bowl in response to this tweeted out something along the lines there's only one re response.

01:18:02.000 We need Creed.

01:18:02.000 I'm literally it's because you know you're gonna not have approval from TPS.

01:18:07.000 No, no, so this is what's this what's hilarious.

01:18:09.000 I'm getting multiple inquiries from the media right now.

01:18:11.000 So have I saying I would like a comment on is turning point playing a TP USA competing with Creed.

01:18:17.000 Yeah, is are they c are they planning a competing halftime show with Creed?

01:18:21.000 And I was like, well, I wasn't.

01:18:25.000 Daisy, this is the same thing.

01:18:26.000 This is how I work with Andrew.

01:18:28.000 I just tweet stuff randomly and it manifests.

01:18:32.000 But I'm I'm open to it.

01:18:33.000 But I uh okay, my question is Wait, Daisy, Daisy, hold on.

01:18:38.000 Yes.

01:18:39.000 What I had a pitch for you too.

01:18:40.000 I'm ready.

01:18:41.000 I'm ready for this.

01:18:42.000 And this this and I'm gonna say this, and people forget I said this at CPAC as well.

01:18:47.000 What if we invite Taylor?

01:18:50.000 It's just not even a possibility.

01:18:51.000 Why why not?

01:18:52.000 Whoa, whoa, why is it not a possibility?

01:18:55.000 My question is Bad Bunny only sings in Spanish.

01:18:58.000 Are they trying to back to Tim's point?

01:19:01.000 Are they trying to broaden their audience to more international?

01:19:04.000 Or Bad Bun it they said 61% of Bad Bunny's listeners are 13 to 27.

01:19:10.000 So are they trying to they've already been losing their older audience?

01:19:13.000 The NFL has been losing their older older audience from the kneeling from the end race and racism in the in the end zones.

01:19:23.000 So they already have this newfound Gen Z audience.

01:19:26.000 They're like, oh, Gen Z's most streamed artist for the last five years is Bad Bunny.

01:19:30.000 Let's have him.

01:19:32.000 Most streamed artists globally.

01:19:33.000 This is 2020, 2020, 2019.

01:19:36.000 It's all about the great migration.

01:19:37.000 This is on the same thing.

01:19:39.000 Sorry.

01:19:40.000 The secret is streams are all fake.

01:19:42.000 The reason why they got off of the sales model is because they control streams.

01:19:46.000 People go on their streaming app, they click modern music, and then the labels in the industry say play bad bunny a hundred times.

01:19:54.000 That's the way it works.

01:19:55.000 So it's not people going in selecting I want to listen to Bad Bunny.

01:19:59.000 It's it's there's always been with radio, who gets to be on radio, it's coveted, right?

01:20:03.000 Payola, yeah.

01:20:04.000 Uh, not even Payola.

01:20:05.000 Just the record labels that say, here's the songs we want in rotation that we have for you.

01:20:08.000 And so were you chosen by the label to be in that list?

01:20:11.000 Sure.

01:20:11.000 There's finite space.

01:20:13.000 Streaming's no different.

01:20:14.000 Billboard used to track sales, they barely track sales anymore.

01:20:18.000 Now it's streams, and now you have come bands and artists you've never heard of somehow the top charting artists.

01:20:23.000 Yeah, because they just inject them and tell you they're popular.

01:20:26.000 Interesting.

01:20:26.000 Who who decides that?

01:20:27.000 The streaming platforms.

01:20:29.000 Jay-Z.

01:20:30.000 Jay-Z, probably.

01:20:31.000 Yeah.

01:20:31.000 That's wild.

01:20:32.000 No, they've run they've run complete game.

01:20:35.000 I mean, even I think we see it not in the same area, but with Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcast, that no one releases how they actually rank everything.

01:20:45.000 So Spotify can say these are our most streamed artists.

01:20:47.000 We don't know if they're streaming five seconds of that or the whole song.

01:20:50.000 You know what I've realized though?

01:20:52.000 That the music in general, as soon as like Napster came along and LimeWire and all this stuff, it's just never A, it's never been the same.

01:20:57.000 And B, like if you watch the Grammys, it's just a complete like it's just low class.

01:21:02.000 Like music is just a real a real nader, as they say.

01:21:06.000 All right.

01:21:06.000 I I want to say though, and I I'm I'm I'm I'm like, Daisy, I know we've been crosswise on this for for years at this point.

01:21:13.000 I would be willing to say Taylor Swift Creed crossover for the halftime show.

01:21:20.000 What do you say?

01:21:21.000 I need to look up and see if I even know a Creed song.

01:21:23.000 I'm I know that's probably embarrassing.

01:21:25.000 Seriously.

01:21:26.000 Uh Caboose, let's let's let's load up a Creed, just like 15 seconds of it.

01:21:30.000 Play higher.

01:21:31.000 They're playing it like every baseball uh game of football, the Vikings were using it.

01:21:37.000 The Rangers, the range, and then the Rangers use it all to take it all the way to the World Series.

01:21:40.000 And they won a Super Bowl or a World Series when they when they played it.

01:21:43.000 Yeah.

01:21:43.000 Sorry, I'm getting my.

01:21:44.000 Oh, it's like it's like a huge thing right now in sports.

01:21:47.000 Michael is working.

01:21:48.000 Their first album, I was not, I was not born yet.

01:21:50.000 That doesn't matter.

01:21:51.000 Do you know what's do you know what Star Wars is?

01:21:53.000 I've never seen Star Wars.

01:21:54.000 I know what it is.

01:21:54.000 Yeah.

01:21:56.000 I have I've heard about Star Wars.

01:21:58.000 Have you ever read the have you ever read the Bible?

01:22:00.000 Because I guarantee that was written before you were born. 0.83

01:22:01.000 So I'm silly argument.

01:22:03.000 Not everything that happened before I was born I know about.

01:22:05.000 This is one of the things that happened before I was born about.

01:22:07.000 I remember Charlie was using the the uh the the Alien Enemies Act.

01:22:12.000 He was like, what are the what are those debates?

01:22:14.000 Alien Sedition.

01:22:14.000 Aliens John Adams.

01:22:17.000 It was written in 1798 or whatever, and he was like the first amendment.

01:22:20.000 Yeah, the Constitution was written before that.

01:22:23.000 What do you think that's it makes it like Nolan Void now?

01:22:27.000 Let it play.

01:22:28.000 Let it play.

01:22:29.000 Let it stay.

01:22:30.000 Can you take me higher, dear?

01:22:35.000 Jack is Jack is having a moment.

01:22:38.000 Oh yeah.

01:22:39.000 I love how many people are going to be able to do that.

01:22:40.000 I am being taken higher to a place with Golden School.

01:22:42.000 Where blinds are a good thing.

01:22:43.000 A place where blind men see. 0.99

01:22:45.000 You know, I know they're explicitly Christian and always have been.

01:22:50.000 I will be their newest fan.

01:22:51.000 I just have to go back.

01:22:52.000 I have to go back and listen.

01:22:54.000 This is what you need to give to the younger generations, your traditions and your values.

01:22:58.000 Yes.

01:22:58.000 I totally agree.

01:22:59.000 That's why Creed and this is what people were like, oh, well, what do you think about like nickel back?

01:23:03.000 No, no, no, no.

01:23:03.000 The reason that Creed is able to have the comeback that they've had is because Creed was always legitimately authentic about their beliefs, and they never once strayed for them.

01:23:15.000 Other play people were just like out there doing music or like playing like you know I mean, not to tie everything back to Charlie all the time.

01:23:23.000 One of the reasons Charlie is Charlie, and one of the reasons why he's had this resonance around the world is because he was so authentically good, true, and and decent.

01:23:32.000 And I think that's what Gen Z wants. 0.58

01:23:33.000 They want authenticity and they want truth.

01:23:35.000 And I actually think you were kind of making a joke, but like it's so true. 1.00

01:23:38.000 It's we gotta think about the values that we pass down.

01:23:41.000 And when you when the NFL makes a decision like this, they're they're not only just making a bad business decision, in my opinion, and maybe it might be a good business decision, but it's it's betraying the country.

01:23:51.000 You got a choice between three dog night and bad bunny.

01:23:53.000 Come on, no question.

01:23:54.000 Okay, well, I'm I'm also not just saying this because I mean Jack also brought this up, and it was in talks.

01:24:00.000 I think it was all alleged.

01:24:01.000 I don't think any of it was true.

01:24:02.000 But if the NFL is trying to hold on to their Gen Z audience, do we think Charlie would have been more or less mad if it was Taylor doing the Super Bowl or Bad Bunny doing the Super Bowl?

01:24:12.000 Bad bunny, of course.

01:24:13.000 Taylor's still Gen Z, but all in English. 0.81

01:24:15.000 Well, she's not Gen Z though.

01:24:16.000 No, but her audience would be Gen Z. So they're so retaining.

01:24:19.000 I don't know if that's true, actually.

01:24:21.000 I think I think Gen Z 89.

01:24:23.000 No, uh her audience, I think was inferred by many people to be Gen Z, but I think actually was millennial.

01:24:28.000 Right, but I think she does have a major Gen Z audience as well.

01:24:31.000 So I'm saying they could tie in all together.

01:24:34.000 Jack's point, which I don't think would ever happen, but uh Creed Taylor Switch.

01:24:37.000 But the full halftime shows are known for like crossovers that people don't expect.

01:24:42.000 So maybe Bad Bunny will bring out Creed.

01:24:44.000 I just think Bad Bunny's not the Super Bowl.

01:24:46.000 Neither way.

01:24:46.000 No.

01:24:46.000 I'm saying TP USA, same time, Creed Taylor.

01:24:52.000 Who's are we also hosting a rival game? 0.98

01:24:55.000 Like who's playing in this game?

01:24:56.000 Are we doing school yard picks like jack team captains?

01:25:00.000 Yes.

01:25:00.000 Okay.

01:25:02.000 I'm on one team, Andrew's on the other team.

01:25:05.000 Or maybe we'll get Benny Johnson out here, and he'll be like way over competitive with it.

01:25:08.000 I have a win.

01:25:09.000 I'm I'm reading I I know Benny.

01:25:11.000 We'll do a pre-that's so funny.

01:25:14.000 Yeah.

01:25:14.000 So, but we're gonna uh I just want to read a couple emails here because I see some of you are emailing us asking why we haven't been playing any bad bunny tracks because you're just like, what is what kind of music?

01:25:24.000 I will tell you the answer to that is the studio.

01:25:27.000 They told me that they would they refuse to play bad bunny on this show, and I'm gonna honor that.

01:25:33.000 So never ever.

01:25:35.000 They just came in my head.

01:25:35.000 Oh, I just heard that.

01:25:36.000 Yeah.

01:25:36.000 I refuse to listen to it.

01:25:38.000 It's been it's banned.

01:25:38.000 We're banned.

01:25:39.000 Um Bad Bunny, you know, this isn't this isn't a place for you, so that's fine.

01:25:43.000 Uh studios made their decision.

01:25:45.000 I got another email here from Kimberly.

01:25:47.000 She says, Dear Charlie Kirk team, I've been a faithful Charlie Kirk show watcher, listener for years.

01:25:52.000 My family and I have been greatly encouraged by how Christ has been magnified since Charlie's passing.

01:25:57.000 Thank you all.

01:25:58.000 Praying for you all.

01:25:59.000 Thank you so much, Kim.

01:26:00.000 Uh means means the world.

01:26:01.000 There's so many.

01:26:02.000 We could magnify Christ by supporting a explicitly Christian band who happens to play the greatest rock music on the face of the planet currently.

01:26:10.000 Sure.

01:26:11.000 Just saying.

01:26:12.000 Does it make you feel better that I not only don't know any Creed songs, I also don't know any bad bunny songs.

01:26:16.000 Like I'm not arguing.

01:26:17.000 I would actually argue that if if I know your piece wasn't in, but that if you like heard that, you'd be like, oh, those guys.

01:26:22.000 Yeah, you would.

01:26:23.000 You would.

01:26:23.000 Yeah.

01:26:24.000 Like they're they're very well known.

01:26:25.000 Another email here from Lois.

01:26:26.000 She says, you guys have been having a very important conversation today.

01:26:30.000 Semantics and framing events are key methods by which the left dominates the narrative and impacts public perception.

01:26:36.000 Yes.

01:26:37.000 Yes, Lois.

01:26:38.000 That is exactly right.

01:26:40.000 Kelly says, Good afternoon.

01:26:42.000 Thank you all for what you guys are doing.

01:26:43.000 I enjoy watching.

01:26:45.000 Halftime ban from Carl.

01:26:46.000 I hate pop music in all genres.

01:26:48.000 Want a masculine band for the Super Bowl. 1.00

01:26:51.000 Choose either Slayer or High on Fire.

01:26:53.000 Creed is too soft and pop.

01:26:54.000 I hate it.

01:26:55.000 Oh my god.

01:26:56.000 I've seen Slayer.

01:26:56.000 I've lead scene.

01:26:57.000 I've seen Slayer, yeah.

01:26:58.000 Creed too soft and have you heard that?

01:27:00.000 Creed is too soft.

01:27:01.000 No, I've there if you're a metalhead, then you would say Creed is too soft for sure.

01:27:06.000 Oh, this is great.

01:27:07.000 This is actually a good idea from Tanner.

01:27:09.000 At halftime show, President Trump should break in the new Rose Garden and DJ his own music.

01:27:15.000 He does.

01:27:16.000 No, but like counterprogram it.

01:27:18.000 Oh, oh, during the hatchet.

01:27:19.000 Yeah, during the hatch.

01:27:20.000 Well, they're they're supposed to they also will announce at some point who's gonna sing the national anthem.

01:27:24.000 What if we have Creed in the Rose Gardens?

01:27:27.000 In the Rose Guard.

01:27:27.000 We've just figured it out.

01:27:28.000 We need someone who's terrible.

01:27:31.000 Mr. President, if you're listening, if you're listening, could be Creed for National Anthem, Trump DJing halftime show.

01:27:37.000 Or just Creed in like the South Lawn with like 6,000 people on this.

01:27:41.000 Give Trump a guitar and a mic.

01:27:42.000 Thank you guys.

01:27:43.000 Tim Pool, you honor us by being here.

01:27:45.000 Thank you, my friend.
