The Charlie Kirk Show - Trump Must Not Poke the RFK Bear

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, fan of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:02.000 Be careful to awaken the third-party monster.

00:00:04.000 Why something Donald Trump put on Truth Social could end up jeopardizing his growing support and consolidation of the center-right conservative movement.

00:00:14.000 We talked about RFK vaccines and more, and also we reflect on the Oscars with Rabbi Michael Barclay.

00:01:52.000 Be careful about poking the third-party bear.

00:01:56.000 What if I told you back in the 1992 election when Bill Clinton became president against George Herbert Walker Bush?

00:02:04.000 Remember, an incumbent president at the time.

00:02:07.000 It's very important to remember.

00:02:09.000 People forget he was an incumbent president, served one term, that Bill Clinton only won 43% of the vote.

00:02:17.000 George Herbert Walker Bush, being the incumbent president, only won 37% of the vote.

00:02:22.000 So where did the other votes go?

00:02:24.000 The other votes went to Ross Perot.

00:02:25.000 Ross Perot had a very populist nationalist movement.

00:02:29.000 You could say Ross Perot was MAGA before MAGA.

00:02:32.000 He was about strong borders. 0.93

00:02:34.000 You hear that sucking sound? 0.99

00:02:35.000 That is your jobs leaving to Mexico.

00:02:38.000 Ross Perot was America first before Donald Trump.

00:02:43.000 Ross Perot won 18.9% of the vote.

00:02:46.000 He failed to win a single state.

00:02:48.000 He failed to win any electoral votes, but he won 19.7 million votes.

00:02:54.000 People would say that he spoiled the 1992 election and handed it to Bill Clinton.

00:03:01.000 The 2024 election is shaping up to have multiple candidates: Cornell West, Jill Stein, two candidates that have already run against each other, and Americans have a lot of their opinions made up.

00:03:12.000 It's going to be a race of who can get to that 42, 43, 44% figure, especially in states like Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona.

00:03:22.000 We have been covering the third-party element of this race rather extensively.

00:03:26.000 The mainstream media has been ignoring this topic.

00:03:29.000 They just act as if it's Trump v. Biden, and it's not.

00:03:32.000 It's Trump v. Biden v. RFK v. Stein v. Cornell West.

00:03:35.000 They're underplaying the third party threat.

00:03:37.000 RFK is getting on the ballot in many different states.

00:03:41.000 Now, six months ago, we said that RFK was hurting Trump more than Biden.

00:03:46.000 That has recently changed.

00:03:47.000 He is now hurting Biden far more than Trump.

00:03:51.000 At least that's how it stands today.

00:03:54.000 There's been a lot said in the last couple of days of how do we win over suburban women. 1.00

00:03:59.000 The Katie Britt attempt at her State of the Union response was well-intentioned.

00:04:05.000 The intention was, of course, how do we win over suburban women who might be center-right in their policy beliefs, center-right in their philosophical disposition, but they keep on voting for Democrats. 1.00

00:04:18.000 So they decided, hey, let's go put Katie Britt in a kitchen and have her act as if she's a C-level replacement actress for a Netflix special. 1.00

00:04:30.000 And it's amazing.

00:04:31.000 If you look at Katie Britt, actually, how she talks and how Katie Britt spoke on camera, it was a mockery.

00:04:36.000 And in fact, SNL made a mockery of the entire deal. 0.85

00:04:40.000 Moms worry about crime. 1.00

00:04:42.000 They worry about wokeness. 0.94

00:04:44.000 They worry about the health of their community.

00:04:50.000 But most importantly, and this has come post-COVID, and Katie Britt didn't mention this at all because the people that crafted Katie Britt's speech are former RNC operatives.

00:05:01.000 She is a Mitch McConnell ally.

00:05:03.000 I have nothing personally against her.

00:05:05.000 Very sweet person, sweet mom.

00:05:07.000 I hope that she continues to have a big platform because we need to win over moms. 1.00

00:05:11.000 But she missed one of the biggest issues, an issue that the major food companies in this country know, which is that suburban moms are more concerned than ever about environmental toxins, about the food they're feeding their kids, and they're also asking questions about vaccines.

00:05:35.000 During the State of the Union address, Donald Trump was live truthing, which is the new Twitter competitor.

00:05:42.000 It's doing very well.

00:05:43.000 We spend a lot of time on truth.

00:05:45.000 Joe Biden effectively took credit for the mRNA gene-altering shot described as a COVID vaccine.

00:05:55.000 Donald Trump was angry about Joe Biden's take on this.

00:05:59.000 Donald Trump put on Truth Social, quote, the pandemic no longer controls our lives.

00:06:04.000 The vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to beat cancer, turning setback into comeback.

00:06:10.000 Donald Trump responds into all caps, you're welcome, Joe, nine-month approval time versus 12 years that it would have taken for you.

00:06:19.000 Donald Trump effectively taking credit for the mRNA shot called the COVID vaccine.

00:06:25.000 Over the weekend, my phone was lighting up.

00:06:27.000 I probably received 30, 40, 50 text messages, mostly from women, from moms that say, Charlie, I know you're super pro-Trump.

00:06:36.000 What am I supposed to make of this?

00:06:37.000 I cannot vote for a candidate that promotes the vaccine.

00:06:40.000 I cannot vote for a candidate that thinks that this shot is a good thing for the country.

00:06:47.000 And of course, RFK is now taking advantage of this.

00:06:51.000 Going back to how we started, the 1992 election was decided by who was able to get the 43%.

00:06:57.000 RFK is going to try to take both from Donald Trump and from Joe Biden.

00:07:02.000 He's going to try to take from both equally.

00:07:06.000 This effectively is poking the RFK bear.

00:07:10.000 Now, again, the Katie Britt RNC approach is: we're just going to fake act into the camera. 0.65

00:07:18.000 Can you believe how terrible Joe Biden is?

00:07:21.000 Where there is this massive issue, and don't take my word for it.

00:07:24.000 Talk to Alex Clark, who works for us at Turning Point USA and has one of the most popular female podcasts and programs out there. 0.89

00:07:32.000 Talk to Isabel Brown.

00:07:34.000 Talk to the leading female influencers.

00:07:36.000 Talk to Allie B. Stuckey. 0.93

00:07:38.000 The issues that moms are talking about are: why does my kid have autism all of a sudden? 0.96

00:07:45.000 Do we have to keep on feeding my child high-fructose corn syrup?

00:07:48.000 Why is my child's speech delayed?

00:07:50.000 Do we really need this vaccine schedule?

00:07:54.000 And RFK is building a coalition of center-right moms that the Trump campaign needs to do a better job of communicating to. 0.97

00:08:03.000 And Donald Trump taking credit for the vaccine.

00:08:08.000 If RFK wasn't in the race, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

00:08:11.000 But you have to understand that there are millions of voters that look at the vaccine issue as a highly personal issue, that they will not vote for a candidate.

00:08:23.000 They will not support a candidate.

00:08:24.000 And you might say, oh, they're going to vote for us anyway.

00:08:26.000 That is the typical response.

00:08:28.000 And with RFK on the ballot, you cannot dismiss this coalition.

00:08:32.000 You cannot dismiss these voters.

00:08:35.000 Vaccine booster rates have gone to 10 to 15% of the population.

00:08:40.000 So anywhere between 85 to 90% of the country are not buying what the kind of vaccine shills of Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson ⁇ Johnson are selling.

00:08:53.000 Now, to President Trump's credit, he had great instincts about hydroxychloroquine, great instincts about the lockdowns.

00:09:00.000 The vaccine happens to be right in RFK's wheelhouse.

00:09:05.000 Now, I talked to some campaign operatives over the weekend and they said, Charlie, I don't understand, what do you mean environmental toxins and nutrition?

00:09:12.000 I said, boy, you are so out of touch with what the voters you're trying to win over are talking about.

00:09:19.000 There's a reason why when you go and buy food at Whole Foods or, you know, just a higher quality grocery store, the amount of disclaimers that dairy-free, gluten-free, paraben-free, it's because consumers are actively asking questions of the food that they're giving their kids.

00:09:42.000 We're going to keep on exploring this, but if we understand that the 1992 presidential election was precedent, we're going to have whoever wins the presidency is likely only going to hit 40 to 43%.

00:09:58.000 So you need to build the biggest coalition you can.

00:10:02.000 And some of these states like Arizona, Arizona has a lot of moms that fit in this mold and fit in this form that are not enthusiastic about the pharmaceutical industrial complex and what they're selling. 0.99

00:10:16.000 They're not supportive of the poisoning of our children.

00:10:21.000 RFK seems to be a good alternative.

00:10:24.000 And 15 to 18% of polling shows that RFK is hovering right around there.

00:10:28.000 So my advice to President Trump privately and publicly is trust your original instincts when it comes to COVID and be very cautious taking credit and bragging and celebrating the vaccine.

00:10:42.000 And I'm going to tell you one of my big fears.

00:10:44.000 The fear is what if RFK gets on the debate stage and Joe Biden baits President Trump on the vaccine issue right before the election.

00:10:54.000 As we've all seen over the past few years, the amount of heavy metals, microplastics, and other toxins we are all exposed to has only increased.

00:11:02.000 These are important world issues we must continue to discuss.

00:11:05.000 And since you know that I take my health seriously, I only stand by the best.

00:11:08.000 One company that is aware of these global challenges and that I proudly support is Ascent Nutrition, which has unique health products meant for these times.

00:11:17.000 One I've been using is their Pine Pollen Tincture, which contains 200 nutrients and important components like glutathione and DHEA.

00:11:26.000 Glutathione is known for healthy detoxification and immune support, while DHEA is known as the happiness hormone and supports mood and brain health.

00:11:36.000 Pine pollen is also nature's highest source of special phytohormones, which support hormone function, libido, and adrenal health.

00:11:44.000 I love it because you could truly feel the benefits.

00:11:47.000 And since I am now telling everyone about it, they expect to sell out fast.

00:11:51.000 Before they sell out, click the link in the description below and use the code Kirk to save 10% on your pine pollen tincture and all other products.

00:12:02.000 Here is from a swing voter in Arizona who I know through some faith stuff.

00:12:07.000 By the way, very conservative person.

00:12:10.000 Charlie, I'm hoping you can call President Trump to get this whole COVID vaccine nonsense fixed quickly. 0.90

00:12:14.000 His post-on-true social is very ignorant regarding how the vaccines are helping to fight cancer, more like causing cancer.

00:12:20.000 He is so solid, and I want to vote for him, but this is a huge blind spot, just my two cents.

00:12:25.000 Let's play.

00:12:26.000 And I'm not saying I agree with that.

00:12:28.000 I'm just trying to say right now, if we do not take this issue carefully, you are poking the third party bear.

00:12:34.000 You are awakening the third party monster. 0.50

00:12:36.000 Right now, Joe Biden is the one that is getting most damaged by RFK.

00:12:42.000 Joe Biden is loving if RFK could take equally from both sides.

00:12:47.000 Would love that.

00:12:48.000 And I say this as an enthusiastic, stalwart, dedicated, loyal, and continued loyal supporter of President Trump, because we have to win.

00:12:57.000 And all of a sudden, we're talking about 5,000 votes here, 10,000 votes here, 15,000 votes here.

00:13:02.000 Now, I'm going to play a piece of tape here.

00:13:04.000 It's cut 11.

00:13:06.000 It is RFK that's talking about, you want to talk about kitchen table issues?

00:13:12.000 Kitchen table issues is not Katie Britt fake acting, where she doesn't even mention Trump's name.

00:13:17.000 And again, there's a clip here that contrasts how she actually talks versus how she talked.

00:13:21.000 And again, some people say I'm being too hard on her.

00:13:23.000 This is not personal.

00:13:25.000 This is Super Bowl.

00:13:26.000 It's either you make the field goal or you don't.

00:13:28.000 And she missed.

00:13:29.000 And I want the best for her.

00:13:31.000 She's got to stay in the party. 0.99

00:13:32.000 Very nice and sweet person.

00:13:33.000 You got to cut that up, Ryan.

00:13:35.000 It's so unbelievable.

00:13:35.000 If she would have spoke how she actually speaks as a human being, I think it would have been a home run.

00:13:40.000 And by the way, if she would have fired the people around her that wrote her speech, should have been completely different. 0.97

00:13:44.000 You know, if Katie Britt just would have said, and by the way, when I talk to moms, they're wondering why so many kids have allergies and health issues, autism and diabetes. 0.78

00:13:54.000 That would have at least piqued the curiosity of the demographic that you need to win.

00:13:58.000 This is why RFK is doing very, very well with suburban moms. 0.96

00:14:03.000 Play cut 11.

00:14:05.000 Autism has gone from 1 in 10,000 in my generation, 70-year-old men, to 1 in 34 kids in my kids' generation.

00:14:15.000 One in every 22 boys.

00:14:17.000 Food allergies suddenly appeared around 1989.

00:14:21.000 You know, I had 11 cousins, 11 brothers and sisters, about 70 first cousins, and none of them had a peanut allergy.

00:14:30.000 Why do five of my seven kids have food allergies?

00:14:33.000 Something is poisoning them.

00:14:35.000 Diabetes today, when I was a kid, a typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes in his entire career, juvenile diabetes.

00:14:47.000 Today, one out of every three kids who walks through his door has either pre-diabetic, pre-diabetic, or diabetic.

00:14:56.000 Something's wrong.

00:14:58.000 Something's wrong.

00:14:59.000 And again, no one thinks that RFK is going to become president.

00:15:02.000 He's running for the presidency.

00:15:03.000 And by the way, if you haven't listened to our conversation with RFK, I highly encourage you to do so.

00:15:08.000 It went very viral for a while, and then it's just kind of flatlined.

00:15:11.000 I think we should try to resurrect that because it's just as applicable today as it was back a couple months ago when we did that.

00:15:20.000 So President Trump comes out and says, hey, our vaccine, my vaccine.

00:15:25.000 He has to remind people he never forced people to take the vaccine.

00:15:27.000 He was against the lockdowns.

00:15:29.000 He was in favor of early treatments and states' rights.

00:15:32.000 This is all stuff that Joe Biden can't run on.

00:15:35.000 But RFK is reaching a polling threshold that might get him on the stage for the presidential commission for debates.

00:15:42.000 I was just watching CBS News.

00:15:44.000 We went out to dinner last night and they had CBS news on the TV because there's very little sports on college basketball or whatever.

00:15:50.000 It's very, it's a low sports time.

00:15:52.000 It's about to heat up.

00:15:53.000 So they had CBS on for whatever reason and they had the volume on.

00:15:56.000 They said, and the race is heating up in a rematch of Trump v. Biden.

00:15:59.000 You got to stop that.

00:16:00.000 That's not true.

00:16:01.000 It's not Trump v. Biden.

00:16:02.000 It's Trump v. Biden with third-party candidates.

00:16:05.000 And the winner will get to 42, 43%.

00:16:07.000 So we need every single tilt voter that we can.

00:16:11.000 And suburban moms who are not voting strictly on abortion, they will vote on kids' health. 0.99

00:16:17.000 The only question remaining that I wish that we'd have somebody have a conversation on.

00:16:21.000 Again, if you were, if you really wanted to be strategic, the State of the Union response should have been about turning RFK more against Joe Biden than against Trump.

00:16:29.000 But the RNC people, they don't think.

00:16:30.000 They don't think at all.

00:16:31.000 They don't do that.

00:16:32.000 The RNC people were all around Katie Britt.

00:16:35.000 The former communications director, former chief of staff for the RNC, is the one who wrote and advised Katie Britt's speech.

00:16:42.000 The old RNC regime, even before Rana, super huge failing.

00:16:46.000 And by the way, the RFK question keeps on teetering back and forth.

00:16:49.000 The vaccine can tilt it one way or the other.

00:16:52.000 And if RFK gets on the stage and it's Trump v. Biden v. RFK, RFK could lay a trap where Joe Biden would be the total pro-vax guy.

00:17:01.000 And RFK could say, well, Mr. President, you're the one that did the vaccine.

00:17:04.000 And how he handles that could be incredibly consequential whether or not he becomes president and wins Wisconsin and wins Arizona.

00:17:11.000 In Arizona, there are tens of thousands of families and moms that don't follow the entire vaccine schedule that definitely don't give their kids the COVID vaccine.

00:17:20.000 There's hundreds of thousands with that.

00:17:22.000 This could determine the entire civilization.

00:17:24.000 Keep your eyes on the third-party candidates, RFK, and the vaccine question.

00:17:29.000 So I actually, one of these, you know, a couple weeks ago, I was thinking up late at night.

00:17:34.000 I said, boy, imagine all three on the debate stage.

00:17:38.000 You have Trump, Biden, RFK.

00:17:43.000 How should President Trump speak about the vaccine?

00:17:46.000 I think he should speak about the vaccine in this regard.

00:17:49.000 I think it should say, look, it was a time of crisis.

00:17:52.000 And what I did to bring the vaccine companies together under usual circumstances would be considered to be a massive accomplishment.

00:18:00.000 But more and more evidence is coming to light that Pfizer, Astrogenica, Moderna, Johnson, and Johnson, they were doing some funny business with some of these vaccines.

00:18:08.000 The vaccine certainly did help some people.

00:18:10.000 And I always respected individual autonomy, states' rights, and I never forced the vaccine and I never will force the vaccine.

00:18:18.000 For some older Americans, I believe that the vaccine helped them.

00:18:23.000 For some younger people, it is a crime that they were forced to get it against their will.

00:18:28.000 And as president, I will authorize a full investigation into Pfizer, Astrogenica, Moderna, Johnson, and Johnson so that we'll find out if they told me the truth during Operation Warp Speed so that people can get clarity and eventually justice.

00:18:43.000 Boom.

00:18:44.000 End of answer.

00:18:46.000 That way, it's not apologizing.

00:18:49.000 It's not about, you know, backing away.

00:18:55.000 That is a perfectly balanced approach.

00:18:58.000 I want to play some more tape here of Robert F. Kennedy.

00:19:02.000 And I'm not saying this as a commercial for him, but this sort of approach can win you 10,000 votes here, 20,000 votes here, 30,000 votes here.

00:19:10.000 Play cut 12, please.

00:19:11.000 So, and nobody's saying, why is this happening?

00:19:14.000 And we know why it's happening.

00:19:16.000 It's high fructose corn syrup.

00:19:18.000 And it's, you know, glyphosate and neonicotoids and atracine and all the other crap that is in our food.

00:19:26.000 We're not feeding people. 0.88

00:19:28.000 We're poisoning them.

00:19:29.000 We're not feeding people.

00:19:30.000 We're poisoning them.

00:19:31.000 Now, that might seem like a fringe issue, but if you go back to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast page, and we have this amazing community, by the way, that's growing, members.charliekirk.com.

00:19:41.000 It's growing like crazy.

00:19:42.000 It's amazing.

00:19:44.000 And one of the first questions we got is, Charlie, when is Trump going to talk about food?

00:19:50.000 I'm telling you, it's a top-level issue for moms, especially, for people of all different ages. 0.97

00:19:55.000 Obesity, type 1 diabetes, what we are feeding our kids, not to mention the suicide epidemic.

00:20:02.000 We cannot keep our eye off this.

00:20:03.000 This is another one, cut four.

00:20:05.000 The average person who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases.

00:20:10.000 That's what killed them.

00:20:11.000 This is the clarity that I think is necessary.

00:20:14.000 COVID, health, lockdowns, it's going to become another, it's going to become a top-tier issue.

00:20:20.000 And let's kind of go back in the 1992 election.

00:20:22.000 Ross Perot won zero electoral votes.

00:20:25.000 By the way, many of you are emailing me, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:20:28.000 I was one of the Perot voters.

00:20:29.000 It makes perfect sense.

00:20:30.000 If you're a Trump supporter now and you were a pro-voter then, perfect.

00:20:35.000 I totally see the connection.

00:20:36.000 Perot was the canary in the coal mine.

00:20:38.000 Perot was the Mr. Smith Goes to Washington independent businessman.

00:20:44.000 One of my great regrets is that Perot and Trump never were able to kind of, before he died, kind of come together and see themselves as successors of the same movement.

00:20:54.000 And it was a race to 43%.

00:20:57.000 Again, very few people are talking about this.

00:20:59.000 If you talk to the average low IQ consultant that used to infest the RNC, thankfully we have a new regime there.

00:21:04.000 What do you mean, a race to 43%?

00:21:05.000 It's a two-person race.

00:21:06.000 It's not a two-person race.

00:21:07.000 Fringe issues very well might end up defining this election.

00:21:12.000 Now, I don't even like the word fringe.

00:21:13.000 I should correct my language.

00:21:14.000 That's not, let's just say second or third or fourth tier issues.

00:21:19.000 For example, coming up next month, we have Dr. Miriam Grossman coming to a freedom night at Dream City Church. 0.72

00:21:24.000 The trans issue and how kids are being trans at record levels, that's a major issue.

00:21:30.000 Trump is great on that issue, by the way. 0.99

00:21:32.000 By the way, Trump is also great on vaccine autonomy and agency.

00:21:35.000 I'm not even attacking.

00:21:36.000 I'm saying that if you're going to put up a truth social post that can be viewed as you taking credit for the vaccine, there is a potential political cost to that.

00:21:47.000 And that cost is that you have this RFK guy lurking who currently is damaging Joe Biden.

00:21:53.000 RFK is taking from Joe Biden right now.

00:21:55.000 Do not give him an attack vector to take from the MAGA movement.

00:21:59.000 Third-party candidates can change an election.

00:22:01.000 Remember, when Donald Trump became president in 2016, it was Trump v. Hillary Clinton v. Jill Stein and five other candidates.

00:22:07.000 In 2020, it was just Trump v. Biden and all the other candidates were kicked off the ballot.

00:22:12.000 It is going to be a race to 43, 44%.

00:22:15.000 Do not give the opposition, do not give RFK any reason to trim at our base, to give people a little uncertainty.

00:22:23.000 Why aggravate the growing community of multiracial, multi-demographic, working people that are going to propel Trump to victory in November?

00:22:32.000 I would stay away from the vaccine issue.

00:22:34.000 Just say it's people's choice and so be it.

00:22:39.000 What if I told you that most of the notable diaper brands support abortion, even footing the bill for their employees to travel to have an abortion?

00:22:47.000 It's one thing to reject your customers.

00:22:49.000 It's another thing to support their termination.

00:22:51.000 If you're a parent sickened by woke corporations supporting the destruction of American values and our most precious blessing, our children, then meet Every Life, America's pro-life diaper brand.

00:23:52.000 Welcome to the program, Rabbi Michael Barclay, for some cultural commentary that I think is very, very important.

00:23:59.000 Rabbi, welcome to the program.

00:24:01.000 Rabbi, I'm told that the Oscars were last night.

00:24:04.000 Is that true?

00:24:06.000 Thank you for letting me be here.

00:24:08.000 And yes, there was an Academy Awards show last night.

00:24:12.000 So what are the major takeaways?

00:24:14.000 You have a piece here for PJ Media.

00:24:16.000 The Academy Awards are, again, on the wrong side of history and boring.

00:24:20.000 Look, there were three types of people there last night. 0.98

00:24:24.000 There was the Jew hater, the anti-Semite, there were the self-hating Jews, and there were the cowards who just didn't have the courage to stand up and say this is wrong. 0.98

00:24:34.000 It was one pro-Gaza moment after another. 0.96

00:24:38.000 Really, probably the most offensive, and this doesn't even include Kimmel's monologue and his insults to Donald Trump, but probably the most offensive from a Middle Eastern perspective was when the award winners for Best Documentary got up and this man,

00:24:56.000 Jonathan Glazer, said that he and his partners are refuting their Jewishness to side with this stuff, this objectification, this dehumanization, etc.

00:25:11.000 He's refuted his Judaism, obviously, a long time ago.

00:25:15.000 And people went crazy and they were all applauding. 0.76

00:25:18.000 And it was just so irritating, not just because of what they said, but the irony that half of them couldn't get to the Dolby Theater because they were blocked by Palestinian demonstrators. 0.79

00:25:30.000 And the irony that pretty much all of them, if they were in Gaza, if they were in any area controlled by Hamas, they'd all be killed by Sharia law for their clothing, their sexuality, how they treat women, how they are women, their religion, their gender. 0.52

00:25:45.000 And they're just all cheering madly for a ceasefire. 0.50

00:25:50.000 And it was just astounding.

00:25:52.000 So help me understand.

00:25:55.000 They don't care about the suffering of any other part of the world.

00:25:59.000 They don't care about, I mean, Hollywood. 0.91

00:26:02.000 They're fixated on Israel.

00:26:05.000 And again, I'm not one to throw around labels, but at the core of Hollywood's fixation, I believe is Jew hatred. 0.90

00:26:14.000 I really, I think that is correct, which is strange because, and Rabbi, play along with me here. 1.00

00:26:21.000 The stereotype is that Jews control Hollywood.

00:26:25.000 So help me understand that.

00:26:27.000 Again, just the stereotype.

00:26:28.000 I'm not saying it's true, but I'm not sure.

00:26:30.000 Sure, no, no, no.

00:26:31.000 Play around with that, please. 0.66

00:26:33.000 So look, if we take a moment to talk about history, there is a reality, and there's a great book called Empire of Their Own, that in the 1920s, the entertainment industry was started by Jews, most of whom were the sons of rabbis, who couldn't get a job anywhere else.

00:26:47.000 So they ended up in entertainment, starting this industry.

00:26:50.000 That then, by the time you're in the 1950s, 1960s, that's no longer true.

00:26:55.000 And certainly by the time you're in the 80s and 90s, it's definitely not true.

00:26:59.000 And in fact, if anyone controlled the entertainment industry, it was a group of people that were called by other people in Hollywood, the game mafia.

00:27:09.000 It was the predecessor to the little grooming that now controls it.

00:27:12.000 Jews do not control Hollywood. 0.94

00:27:15.000 That's just a fallacy for 60 or 70 years.

00:27:18.000 But here's what's happened is that the secularized Jew has converted to leftist politics. 0.86

00:27:25.000 They have walked away from their religion to, and their religion now is leftist politics. 0.90

00:27:29.000 And Hollywood encourages that.

00:27:31.000 It kind of feeds on itself.

00:27:33.000 It self-angrandizes.

00:27:35.000 I mean, look at the whole Oscars.

00:27:36.000 They are an award show saying, look at me, I did my job, for which they get paid exorbitant fees.

00:27:43.000 The idea of doing protests at the Oscars has a history and it's a sordid history, as I point out in that article, which I think it's 1975.

00:27:54.000 Burke Schneider reads a letter from the head of the Viet Cong to which he's booed.

00:27:58.000 In 1978, Vanessa Redgrave talks about supporting the Palestinians.

00:28:04.000 She's booed. 0.99

00:28:05.000 In 2003, Michael Moore talks about the fictitious president at the Oscars.

00:28:09.000 He's booed with a few cheers.

00:28:12.000 But by the time we get post-Obama, you start getting DiCaprio talking about climate change after he's been flown to the Oscars in his private jet and he's cheered. 0.54

00:28:23.000 You start getting people cheering for BLM.

00:28:26.000 2022 was all about, you know, BLM, the idea, or 2021, excuse me, 2022 was all about Ukraine.

00:28:34.000 And this is all about their cause celebrity. 0.67

00:28:37.000 They have repeatedly been wrong on history, and it's really sad.

00:28:41.000 But Hollywood has, I think it might be good to remember that these are people who make their living making believe.

00:28:50.000 These are not intellectual giants or people who even think necessarily, most of them very consciously.

00:28:57.000 I want to play Cut 16 here and get your reaction before we close out the segment.

00:29:01.000 Play Cut 16, please.

00:29:02.000 Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst.

00:29:06.000 It shaped all of our past and present.

00:29:09.000 Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people.

00:29:18.000 Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all are victims of this dehumanization.

00:29:26.000 How do we resist?

00:29:27.000 Alexandra Bistron Kolodziechek, the girl who glows in the film as she did in life, chose to.

00:29:33.000 I dedicate this to her memory and her resistance.

00:29:36.000 Thank you.

00:29:36.000 So what's going on here?

00:29:38.000 Explain this for our audience, Rabbi. 1.00

00:29:40.000 This guy is oblivious and an idiot. 1.00

00:29:43.000 And it's just that simple. 1.00

00:29:45.000 If he was in Gaza, if he was in the West Bank, they would behead him for who he is, as would they would behead most of the people who were attending that show for their clothing, for everything else. 0.88

00:29:56.000 Hamas wants Sharia law. 0.97

00:29:58.000 Hamas, in their covenant of 1988, has specifically said that they want the obliteration of every Jew on the planet. 0.92

00:30:06.000 They're very clear about it. 0.99

00:30:07.000 Article 7 in their covenant says that the day of judgment will only come when every Jew is obliterated and the trees, they hide behind the trees and rocks and the trees call out, Abdullah, O Muslim, come and kill the Jew hiding behind me. 0.58

00:30:19.000 And these people are cheering on Hamas after they said what Hamas did on October 7th. 0.97

00:30:26.000 It is despicable.

00:30:28.000 Not just what Hamas has done, but what these people are doing.

00:30:32.000 And there's a great line for people like Blazer who are ashamed of being a Jew.

00:30:37.000 Trust me, we're ashamed of you being a Jew too. 0.89

00:30:40.000 It's painful.

00:30:41.000 Rabbi, in closing here, can you just give about a minute summary of the latest on the ground of what's happening with Israel and Rafa?

00:30:49.000 There's a lot of misinformation out there.

00:30:53.000 I would love to get it from your perspective, an update.

00:30:56.000 And Joe Biden says there's a red line and all sorts of nonsense.

00:30:59.000 Your take, Rabbi.

00:31:01.000 Real briefly, what I think is the most important point right now as we've entered Ramadan, everyone, especially Joe Biden and Tony Blinken and all these guys are saying, oh, it's Ramadan.

00:31:09.000 You can't have attacks.

00:31:10.000 Forgetting about the fact that they attacked on Yom before they attacked on Simchastorah in these different holidays. 0.83

00:31:16.000 If you look up, and there's a video on Twitter that I did about this, and the actual history of Ramadan, Ramadan is a history of a month of war. 0.74

00:31:25.000 But the Prophet Muhammad started two different wars during Ramadan.

00:31:28.000 It has a history. 1.00

00:31:29.000 This is one of the months that you always fight in.

00:31:31.000 There are four months in the Quran that are prohibited from having war.

00:31:34.000 This is not one of them.

00:31:35.000 So, this whole idea of saying, oh, it's a holiday of love and peace, like Claudia Webb did in England, is just a blatant, fallacious lie.

00:31:44.000 And it is a holiday of war. 0.98

00:31:46.000 They gear up for war in Ramadan. 0.86

00:31:47.000 And there's no reason not to go in Rafa, none at all, no religious, no theological reason, and every political reason. 0.61

00:31:53.000 So we can clean out Gaza from Hamas and rebuild what hopefully can become a place of peace.

00:32:00.000 Rabbi, thank you for the time. 0.97

00:32:01.000 And God bless you.

00:32:02.000 Thank you so much.

00:32:03.000 Thank you.

00:32:04.000 God bless you for everything you and all of Charlie's, all your bull team do.

00:32:08.000 Thank you.

00:32:09.000 I want to play Cut 27 here, guys.

00:32:12.000 And also email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:32:14.000 Let's play Cut 27, please.

00:32:16.000 I'm really proud of something.

00:32:18.000 I was wondering if I could share it with you.

00:32:20.000 I just got a review, and has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?

00:32:30.000 His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be.

00:32:37.000 Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up but cheap ABC talent, George Slopanopoulos.

00:32:44.000 He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.

00:32:48.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:32:49.000 Make America great again.

00:32:57.000 Okay, now see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social.

00:33:06.000 Well, first of all, Truth Social probably got more eyeballs on a mainstream ABC network.

00:33:14.000 It was brilliant.

00:33:15.000 And we had the phrase, make America great again on ABC.

00:33:21.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:33:23.000 Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:33:25.000 Thanks so much for listening and God bless.
