00:01:18.000 And now my conversation with the amazing Jesse Waters.
00:01:21.000 Enjoy.
00:01:22.000 Here we go.
00:01:23.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:25.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:27.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:30.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:34.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:35.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:36.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:43.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:44.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:53.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:56.000 Did you get hit with a big tax bill you weren't expecting?
00:01:59.000 With rates being very low and home equity being high, perfect time to refinance.
00:02:02.000 Look, we're all about refinancing all this.
00:02:04.000 Here's the long and short of it.
00:02:06.000 You should not be giving business to bad companies.
00:02:09.000 So if you're using Goldman Sachs, bad company.
00:02:12.000 Wells Fargo, bad company.
00:02:14.000 JP Morgan, bad company. 1.00
00:02:16.000 All these companies, they love BLM. 1.00
00:02:19.000 They hate America.
00:02:20.000 And quite honestly, if you're listening to this program, they hate you.
00:02:24.000 And so if you want to take out a loan, here's what I'm going to tell you what to do.
00:02:27.000 Maybe you're a new family.
00:02:29.000 You're like, I want to buy a house and it's my dream house and I want to take out a loan.
00:02:33.000 The good news is that there are partners called Andrew and Todd, Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian, AndrewandTodd.com.
00:02:40.000 Just save that in your notes, by the way.
00:02:41.000 Just save it in the notes of your phone because you might need it.
00:02:44.000 Like, I don't need it.
00:02:45.000 My banker at Goldman Sachs is just fine or my banker at Bank of America is just fine.
00:02:50.000 Like, okay.
00:02:51.000 Then when you go take that loan and you go sign those 95,000 pieces of paper they give you, you know what you're really signing?
00:02:58.000 You're signing contribution forms to BLM Incorporated.
00:03:01.000 That's what you're doing.
00:03:02.000 When you go take out a loan with Chase, when you go take out a loan with Wells Fargo, you might as well go give the money to Joe Biden.
00:03:10.000 So when you go to DC next and you go travel, maybe with your family, why don't you just get a cashier's check and drop it off at the White House entrance? 0.95
00:03:18.000 That's what you're doing when you bank with these woke losers at Wells Fargo. 0.69
00:03:24.000 So take out a loan with the good guys. 0.89
00:03:25.000 It's Andrew and Todd.
00:03:26.000 Look, they're just great people.
00:03:27.000 They're Christians.
00:03:28.000 They love the Lord.
00:03:29.000 They love America.
00:03:30.000 And you call them up and just say, I want to speak to Andrew and Todd.
00:03:34.000 That's all you have to say.
00:03:35.000 Charlie Kirk sent me.
00:03:37.000 And their number is 888, 888, 1172.
00:03:40.000 That's AndrewandTodd.com, AndrewandTodd.com, 888, 888, 1172.
00:03:45.000 You go to AndrewandTodd.com, 888, 888, 1172, and say, you should make a vow to yourself.
00:03:50.000 Just make a promise to yourself.
00:03:52.000 I refuse to fund companies that hate America.
00:03:55.000 I refuse to fund companies that hate America.
00:03:58.000 And you have a choice.
00:03:59.000 If you want to take out a loan or just explore the idea of refinancing, AndrewandTodd.com call 888 888 1172.
00:04:08.000 I go out to eat with these guys.
00:04:10.000 They're terrific.
00:04:11.000 They're good people.
00:04:12.000 AndrewandTodd.com.
00:04:16.000 Hey, everybody, welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:04:18.000 With us today is a man who describes himself as charming and brilliant and generous.
00:04:24.000 And now he wants to talk about how humble he is.
00:04:27.000 Jesse Waters, the author of his new book, How I Save the World.
00:04:30.000 Jesse, welcome.
00:04:31.000 Nice to be here with you, Charlie.
00:04:32.000 Is this podcast sponsored by Relief Factor?
00:04:35.000 Because I am aching from all this book promotion.
00:04:39.000 ReliefFactor.com, 100% drug-free.
00:04:41.000 You too can also get to the higher levels of enlightenment with ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:45.000 So one of our many sponsors.
00:04:48.000 So, Jesse, tell us how you saved the planet.
00:04:51.000 Well, I saved myself because if you know me, Charlie, you know I needed a lot of saving.
00:04:56.000 And it is my world.
00:04:58.000 So that's how I saved the world.
00:05:00.000 But the message is these liberals have a savior complex.
00:05:04.000 They're constantly trying to save everybody else.
00:05:07.000 Meanwhile, their house is not in order.
00:05:09.000 So they need to focus on themselves first.
00:05:12.000 And then if we all focus on fixing ourselves, we can save the world.
00:05:16.000 Was that too deep for your audience, Charlie, or do we get that?
00:05:20.000 That's what's called an analogy.
00:05:22.000 That's perfect.
00:05:23.000 That's just right on point because we do have some Biden voters that listen to the Charlie Kirk show.
00:05:28.000 Not a lot, but every so often they come and they listen.
00:05:32.000 I want to listen to, I want to list some of your wonderful endorsements for your book.
00:05:39.000 It's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
00:05:41.000 Now, are all these real, Jesse, or are some of these embellished?
00:05:44.000 No, these are actual quotes about me from mainstream media periodicals.
00:05:50.000 Oh, this is great.
00:05:51.000 Jesse's mom, where is Dana Perino?
00:05:54.000 She is desperately needed.
00:05:56.000 The Washington Post says, Jesse Waters is officially out of control.
00:05:59.000 Mayor Bill de Blasio says, keep this guy off of TV.
00:06:04.000 Media matters. 1.00
00:06:05.000 I don't even know what this is, a human yaga bomb. 1.00
00:06:08.000 Is that right? 0.99
00:06:11.000 So you probably spent too many October's in the Bavarian region of Germany. 0.99
00:06:16.000 A smug, unfunny goon. 1.00
00:06:19.000 Yeah, actually accurate. 1.00
00:06:21.000 I am smug.
00:06:22.000 So they had that right.
00:06:24.000 Slightly smug. 1.00
00:06:26.000 Blissfully ignorant Salon. 0.98
00:06:30.000 This one's a little bit R-rated by Gawker. 0.99
00:06:32.000 Probably the swarmiest F on the planet.
00:06:35.000 And then Soledad O'Brien. 1.00
00:06:39.000 Jesse Waters is even more stupid than I originally gave him credit for. 1.00
00:06:43.000 I mean, surprisingly ignorant, which I kind of knew, but still. 1.00
00:06:46.000 And then The New Yorker says, a Fox News reporter with a stifler-esque swagger who does not tend to break the actual news. 0.92
00:06:53.000 And then finally, The Daily Beast, the greatest of them all.
00:06:55.000 Does Waters have the most punchable face in America?
00:06:58.000 The answer is obviously yes.
00:07:00.000 How were you able to get this list?
00:07:03.000 I didn't ask for it.
00:07:04.000 I just took it and plastered it on the back of the book.
00:07:07.000 Listen, Charlie, you've written books before.
00:07:09.000 You have to do that thing where you call Hannity or you call Glenn Beck and you say, guys, can you write a fake blurb about how great of a writer I am without ever reading anything I've ever written?
00:07:20.000 And then you owe him a favor.
00:07:22.000 I don't want to owe Sean a favor.
00:07:23.000 I don't want to owe anyone a favor.
00:07:25.000 So I just plagiarized what these hateful mainstream media people said about me and slapped it on the back.
00:07:33.000 And so walk us through what else you talk about in the book, some of the themes, and then your heroic journey of how other people could also get to the type of success that you've been able to achieve to save the entire planet.
00:07:46.000 Well, big thing is humor.
00:07:48.000 The left has to police humor because they ridicule is a really powerful instrument.
00:07:53.000 Remember Jon Stewart?
00:07:55.000 You might be too young to remember him.
00:07:57.000 I do remember John Stewart.
00:07:58.000 had a run where it was the hottest show on television because he would just roast these Republicans.
00:08:06.000 And it was so effective that he would actually move the needle on policy because people were so afraid of John getting the Jon Stewart treatment.
00:08:14.000 And he did it in a comedic way.
00:08:15.000 And that's why it was so impactful.
00:08:18.000 If Republicans make jokes, that means we're racist because we come from an evil place, according from the left.
00:08:24.000 We're not allowed to be humorous because that makes us likable.
00:08:27.000 And if we're likable, we're actually human. 1.00
00:08:30.000 Now, they try to dehumanize us because it allows the left to treat us like scum, like Nazis, like expendable pieces of garbage. 0.99
00:08:39.000 And that justifies them taking away our right to earn a living and put food on the table for our family. 0.99
00:08:46.000 So humor and ridicule are big themes.
00:08:48.000 Also, I would say a big theme.
00:08:51.000 I grew up with liberal parents.
00:08:53.000 Did you?
00:08:53.000 Probably not, Charlie.
00:08:55.000 You were not liberal parents.
00:08:56.000 I grew up with parents that love the country.
00:08:58.000 You had right.
00:08:59.000 Well, my parents, I think, had a different form of love.
00:09:02.000 They were tear gassed protesting NOM in the 60s and voted for Dukakis, Mondale, all those great winners.
00:09:09.000 Yes.
00:09:10.000 And so my parents decided that I needed character and they decided to send me to survival camps out in the middle of the wilderness.
00:09:19.000 You know, here's a book of matches and a knife.
00:09:21.000 I'll see you in a month.
00:09:22.000 So a lot of those stories are about how I'm actually more in touch with the environment than these radical environmentalists like AOC, who knows nothing about conservation and about global warming.
00:09:34.000 Now, did you grow up in New York or New Jersey?
00:09:36.000 Because it seems that's like a New Jersey thing.
00:09:38.000 You just send your kids to camp and they come back different people.
00:09:40.000 Yeah, so I grew up in Philly and in the Northeast with your overprivileged children is you send them to wilderness schools.
00:09:47.000 That's exactly right. 0.89
00:09:48.000 Because they're expensive.
00:09:49.000 Cultured.
00:09:50.000 Yes.
00:09:50.000 Right.
00:09:51.000 So they learn how to pitch a tent and build a fire.
00:09:53.000 Mine were just a little more extreme.
00:09:55.000 I think my parents were trying to kill me.
00:09:58.000 And then, you know, got fired.
00:09:59.000 You've probably been fired before.
00:10:01.000 I got fired from about five jobs before I landed at Fox, fired from a restaurant, asset management company.
00:10:09.000 I was a bellhop for a while.
00:10:11.000 Learned a lot about capitalism from bellhopping.
00:10:14.000 And so landed on the factor, got a shot.
00:10:17.000 Bill said I was annoying everybody in the building.
00:10:20.000 So he wanted to send me out to the streets to annoy everybody else.
00:10:24.000 So he gave me a shot.
00:10:25.000 And a lot of these stories are about me kind of traveling throughout the country, observing liberals in their natural habitat, San Francisco, Martha's Vineyard at the beaches.
00:10:36.000 And I found that they're just very insecure people and they project their insecurity onto the country as a way to stay relevant and control us because they have to soothe their anxiety that way.
00:10:48.000 And it's, it always ends in disaster.
00:10:51.000 And they're constantly just trying to manage and stay in power.
00:10:55.000 And it just really just destroys everything.
00:10:57.000 So we just really have to sideline these people.
00:10:59.000 And once in a while, and you know, you just have to say no.
00:11:02.000 Just tell them no and knock it off.
00:11:05.000 So you would say this is a psychological issue, that they have massive insecurity, therefore they want to control the entire world.
00:11:11.000 I don't like to make broad sweeping generalizations.
00:11:14.000 Of course, like saving the world or things like that.
00:11:16.000 Right, right.
00:11:17.000 But I'm going to say, yes, Charlie, you summed it up perfectly.
00:11:19.000 It is a psychological condition.
00:11:21.000 Not everybody has it.
00:11:23.000 There's degrees of how much it affects people.
00:11:25.000 But for the most part, liberals are not secure in themselves.
00:11:30.000 They're uncomfortable with the success of America and they feel guilt and they have to assuage that guilt by meddling, by controlling, by dividing, and by casting blame at pretty much everything that makes this country great in order to control it and fix it.
00:11:50.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:11:52.000 A lot.
00:11:52.000 Truth is, I know millions of people.
00:11:54.000 In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:12:00.000 Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.
00:12:03.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:12:05.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:12:11.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:12:12.000 So here's the deal: go to relieffactor.com.
00:12:14.000 That's relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.
00:12:18.000 People ask me, tell me why Relief Factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain.
00:12:22.000 I'm often asked that question.
00:12:24.000 So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like producer Andrew.
00:12:28.000 Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim under seas, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, or maybe you want to be able to go to the Phoenix Suns finals game like some other people that are going.
00:12:40.000 But maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.
00:12:43.000 Maybe your relief factor is for you.
00:12:45.000 ReliefFactor.com, 100% drug-free.
00:12:48.000 Check it out, relieffactor.com.
00:12:53.000 So tell us a little bit about some of the recent media experiences you've had.
00:12:58.000 You interviewed Donald Trump.
00:13:00.000 We both have spent a lot of time with him.
00:13:01.000 Tell our viewers, what is he like in person?
00:13:04.000 You've spent more time with Trump than anybody.
00:13:07.000 I mean, you guys are close and you should just be so grateful because anybody, and I'm just going to throw politics out.
00:13:15.000 A liberal, a socialist, an anarchist, you go in and you meet this guy.
00:13:21.000 This guy will make you feel like you're having the time of your life.
00:13:24.000 Super gracious, super entertaining, fun guy to be with, telling stories, cracking jokes, informing you, expressing himself, just probably one of the most gracious hosts and human beings you could be around just on a personal level.
00:13:40.000 Take politics out.
00:13:41.000 And, you know, I was just very thankful to be in his presence a few times and have some great stories in the book about dinners and trips and things like that, which people will enjoy and will laugh at.
00:13:53.000 So tell us a little bit about what it's like to work at Fox News.
00:13:57.000 What is it like to have to talk to liberals every single day as a Fox News personality?
00:14:02.000 They keep on, they're dropping like flies recently, Jesse.
00:14:05.000 They keep on having to bring in these new liberals.
00:14:08.000 And what, because a lot of our young people listen to this podcast, they're on college campuses.
00:14:13.000 They have to deal with liberals all day long.
00:14:15.000 You get paid to talk to liberals.
00:14:18.000 You get paid to actually go deal with college professors.
00:14:20.000 Not enough, Charlie.
00:14:22.000 Well, this is part of your contract negotiation: you have to say, look, I literally get paid to have to deal with these people.
00:14:28.000 What is that like?
00:14:28.000 And what are some tips you have to be able to deal with the left with whimsy and charm and a little bit of mockery?
00:14:36.000 Because they definitely deserve that.
00:14:38.000 Well, you get it because you go to these campuses and it's different when you're in person as opposed to on television.
00:14:44.000 If you're on a screen in front of someone, you're a little more callous.
00:14:48.000 You kind of can get away with it being a little more rough.
00:14:51.000 But when you're actually, you can smell the liberal and they're right in your face and you can read their body language.
00:14:58.000 You have to be careful because in the wild, you know, liberals can act angry.
00:15:03.000 They can lash out like a caged animal.
00:15:05.000 And you have to be cautious because anything can set them off.
00:15:09.000 So they're tender people, very sensitive, and are not used to being confronted by conservative philosophy.
00:15:16.000 Remember, they have not been exposed, many liberals, to our arguments before and the foundation of our arguments.
00:15:24.000 So when they're confronted with facts and reasoned conservative opinions, they can react violently.
00:15:30.000 It's disturbing for them because it destroys their entire mindset.
00:15:35.000 You know, they think of us as less than human.
00:15:38.000 They think of us as uncivilized.
00:15:40.000 They think of us as bigots.
00:15:41.000 So when you actually express a coherent argument based on reason and fact, it's disturbing because it rocks their worldview.
00:15:49.000 So when you're up close and personal with them, you have to be gentle.
00:15:53.000 You can, you can, you can tease, you can, you can, but you actually have to bring them along.
00:15:58.000 You know, it's a journey for liberals.
00:16:00.000 Liberals, you know, they're in a process, Charlie.
00:16:03.000 They're learning.
00:16:03.000 They'll get there.
00:16:04.000 Not all of them, but some will get there as they grow older.
00:16:07.000 So you just, you just have to lead them, lead them nicely to the, to the, to greener pastures.
00:16:13.000 So speaking of greener pastures, since you kind of played out the Walden in the woods type thing and you found the transcendental nature, what can do you think a socialist can survive in the woods?
00:16:25.000 Do you think that a communitarian like AOC Jesse Waters in the woods, like the real woods, not like, you know, not like upstate New York?
00:16:36.000 I'm talking like the Yukon, right?
00:16:38.000 Something tells me AOC's never been in the wilderness.
00:16:41.000 I don't know her personally, but she just does not seem self-sufficient.
00:16:46.000 Could be wrong.
00:16:47.000 I could be wrong, often not, but could be wrong.
00:16:49.000 Well, Jesse, in all fairness, you don't exactly strike me as, you know, the call of the wild.
00:16:55.000 So you got, you got to convince me here.
00:16:57.000 Charlie, I rebelled against that.
00:16:58.000 My father sent me six years in a row to survival school.
00:17:02.000 So I had to learn how to spearfish.
00:17:05.000 Oh, is that right?
00:17:06.000 We would hike with 60-pound backpacks up to ice cap peaks.
00:17:09.000 And I had a little ice pick to, you know, hoist myself up.
00:17:13.000 So were you a problem child, Jesse?
00:17:16.000 Yes, I was a problem child.
00:17:18.000 It was either this or military school, Charlie.
00:17:20.000 And one time I arrived at one of these camps and it was like me, this guy named Chavez, who packed his bag in a glad bag, and I had like an Abercrombie backpack and a girl who was cutting herself in the bathroom before we left base camp.
00:17:36.000 So I actually think my parents were sending me to like reform school here, but I survived.
00:17:41.000 And look at me, now I'm a big smash hit on Fox.
00:17:43.000 So they must have done something right.
00:17:45.000 But AOC, I don't know.
00:17:47.000 I would invite her out to the woods, but I don't want to go myself.
00:17:51.000 So I have the next Fox Nation show, which is not Survival with Bear Gorillas, but no, it's Jesse Waters in the wild.
00:17:59.000 In fact, I think Fox Nation should do their own PG version of Naked and Afraid with Jesse Waters in the wild.
00:18:06.000 And I mean, you want to get Fox Nation downloads.
00:18:08.000 That would definitely get something.
00:18:10.000 So can a socialist survive in the woods, Jesse?
00:18:13.000 I'm going to say no, just because they would have to be asking other people for help the whole time.
00:18:22.000 And that's what being in the woods is not about.
00:18:25.000 It's about surviving on your own.
00:18:27.000 So it's about self-reliance and it's about not blaming other people for your issues or your problems.
00:18:34.000 Raining, it's not conservatives' fault.
00:18:36.000 It's the weather.
00:18:38.000 It's not global war.
00:18:39.000 I was going to say it's the evil industrialists.
00:18:42.000 It's not capitalism that made you lose your place in the woods.
00:18:46.000 So you just don't have a compass and you can't realize the sun sets in the west and rises in the east. 0.92
00:18:52.000 Well, now, in all fairness, the compass is likely an innovation of the white cisonormative hetero male. 0.53
00:19:01.000 So compasses are not allowed. 0.89
00:19:03.000 Instead, you must feel your way through the woods.
00:19:07.000 So, so, Jesse, you've experienced media warfare up close and personal.
00:19:11.000 Tell us about that when the other side just wants to destroy you.
00:19:15.000 So, years ago, this was before your time, we used to have a corporate battle with NBC News.
00:19:22.000 They were owned by General Electric.
00:19:24.000 And there was a guy on MSNBC at eight o'clock who was just savagely attacking Foxhoos in a personal way, Keith Olbermann, totally unhinged guy.
00:19:35.000 And it got really personal.
00:19:37.000 And General Electric, we found out, was selling airplane parts to the Iranians, skirting sanctions during the Iraq war.
00:19:45.000 Those airplane parts were being used by militia members to set IUDs off in Iraq, killing U.S. soldiers there.
00:19:53.000 And I was dispatched to Calgary to confront Jeffrey Immelt, the head of General Electric at the time.
00:20:01.000 So that began a media war between Fox and General Electric.
00:20:07.000 And we talk about this in the book.
00:20:08.000 We went undercover at shareholder meetings.
00:20:11.000 There was some secret audio that was recorded.
00:20:14.000 And, you know, it got dirty.
00:20:16.000 I was ambushed myself.
00:20:18.000 I probably deserve it.
00:20:19.000 You know, I went out and tracked people down in their driveways.
00:20:22.000 I was tracked out in my driveway.
00:20:24.000 I just handled it a lot better than most people. 0.99
00:20:26.000 So in the book, I give advice on how to handle a jerk like. 0.99
00:20:31.000 So how do you handle an how do you handle an ambush, Jesse? 0.99
00:20:34.000 So if you're confronted in a spontaneous way, you're going to look guilty no matter what.
00:20:40.000 So the best thing to do, and this is what someone did.
00:20:43.000 This guy used to run Merrill Lynch and he took a $165 million golden parachute, left the stockholders high and dry during the financial crisis.
00:20:52.000 Guy golfed every day like scratch golfer, never was in the office.
00:20:56.000 And he and he fleeced the company.
00:20:59.000 So Stan O'Neill and he was leaving his townhouse on the Upper East Side, going to his country club, and he had his golf bag around his shoulder.
00:21:06.000 And I started hammering.
00:21:07.000 What do you have to say to the shareholders?
00:21:09.000 6 a.m.
00:21:10.000 I was right in his face.
00:21:11.000 Charlie, he didn't say a word.
00:21:13.000 He did the perp walk.
00:21:14.000 Now, the perp walk, I recommend.
00:21:16.000 It might not make you look great, but it's better than talking because when you talk, you're going to engage.
00:21:23.000 I'm going to trip you up and you're going to lose your cool.
00:21:26.000 And that's what we want.
00:21:27.000 Rosie O'Donnell, remember, only Rosie O'Donnell. 0.94
00:21:30.000 She lost her.
00:21:32.000 Rosie O'Donnell. 0.94
00:21:33.000 You do a good one. 1.00
00:21:34.000 She lost her cool at a book signing.
00:21:36.000 You recall in the views, she said 9-11 was an inside job.
00:21:39.000 She was talking about building seven.
00:21:41.000 I don't know.
00:21:42.000 Anyway, it was really disrespectful.
00:21:44.000 And that was a very, it was right on the heels of 9-11.
00:21:47.000 So New Yorkers, especially police, were upset by this.
00:21:51.000 And I pounced on her at a book signing, just politely, because you know I'm a gentleman, Charlie.
00:21:56.000 And she had her goon security, grab my camera.
00:21:59.000 That's what we want.
00:22:00.000 We want you to aleck Baldwin yourself, right? 0.99
00:22:02.000 We want you to swing at us.
00:22:04.000 We're looking for a Sean Penn moment.
00:22:06.000 And nine times out of 10, that's what happens.
00:22:09.000 And you can't do that.
00:22:11.000 You got to keep your cool.
00:22:12.000 And that's what life is about, keeping your cool in that moment.
00:22:15.000 Once you control your emotions, you can conquer anything.
00:22:19.000 Now, maybe it's because of the virus, but I don't see much ambush journalism happening anymore.
00:22:23.000 I really don't, especially against like super powerful people.
00:22:27.000 So I knew someone that worked with Stan O'Neill, and you're exactly right.
00:22:30.000 That whole thing is just a disaster.
00:22:32.000 Don't need to go into that.
00:22:33.000 But that was a time when powerful people were directly confronted by truth tellers.
00:22:38.000 Where is Jesse Waters going after Jeff Bezos?
00:22:40.000 If you save the world, Jesse, why don't you go confront Zuckerberg?
00:22:44.000 You could just solve this whole problem for us.
00:22:47.000 Well, thank you for giving me license to go to California and expense that trip, Charlie.
00:22:51.000 Anytime for FoxNation.com, you can find Charlie Kirk.
00:22:54.000 So I have to be in studio five days a week now.
00:22:58.000 I miss the streets because I used to get a great vibe from the folks about what they were feeling and I had the pulse of the people and I would hunt people down that deserved it.
00:23:06.000 I can't do that anymore.
00:23:07.000 I got to be back at five for the five.
00:23:10.000 You're a corporate guy now.
00:23:11.000 I got it.
00:23:12.000 Well, listen, they want me in the chair.
00:23:14.000 I'm going to be in the chair, Charlie.
00:23:16.000 So they, we missed a mini me who would, I think, now, forget the virus.
00:23:23.000 This died after, this died before that.
00:23:25.000 We need a little Mike Wallace. 0.97
00:23:26.000 Remember, 60 Minutes used to do 60 Minutes used to be the marquee program for putting mics in faces and holding these guys accountable because you have to shame them. 0.98
00:23:36.000 You have to embarrass them. 1.00
00:23:37.000 You have to put the heat on because they're not going to change their behavior.
00:23:41.000 about putting a spotlight, exposing bad behavior and changing that behavior.
00:23:46.000 And we did that with judges across the country who were giving soft sentences to sex offenders.
00:23:51.000 And we used to do it to politicians.
00:23:53.000 But now I would step to these Titans in California.
00:23:57.000 I would step to these Maxine Waters types down in the swamp and Bill de Blasio, Andrew Cuomo.
00:24:04.000 There's no one doing that anymore.
00:24:06.000 And it gives politicians a pass because these powerful people, corporate people, they'll get away with whatever they can get away with.
00:24:13.000 And when we're there here, right here, Charlie, breathing down their neck, they'll cut that out.
00:24:19.000 Well, and that's the type of journalism that I think is missing right now.
00:24:22.000 Instead, it's just all kind of, it's just angry bloggers typing the same thing, like, oh, I read something on Twitter and that's journalism.
00:24:29.000 And the true powerful people actually kind of go almost totally unscathed.
00:24:33.000 So you have had.
00:24:34.000 Let me interrupt you.
00:24:35.000 You, you just had, you just gave me a great idea.
00:24:37.000 You should invest.
00:24:38.000 Turning point.
00:24:40.000 You should have a little institute or a little wing of your organization that does train.
00:24:46.000 I wouldn't call them guerrilla media or gonzo journalists, but trains on the street journalists to get access to people and players to do undercover work.
00:24:57.000 And I think you guys could really make an impact that way.
00:25:00.000 Well, thank you.
00:25:00.000 It's a great idea.
00:25:01.000 And you could be the chairman of that project, Jesse.
00:25:03.000 We will call it the Jesse Waters Ambush Project or the Institute of World Salvation chaired by Mr. Waters.
00:25:12.000 We would love that.
00:25:13.000 And no, it's a great idea.
00:25:14.000 And Jason Matero used to do this too.
00:25:16.000 You and Jason Matero.
00:25:17.000 I don't know what I have.
00:25:18.000 I haven't heard of Jason in a while, but this kind of idea of just pop-up journalism, it's really special.
00:25:26.000 Do you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?
00:25:30.000 It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.
00:25:34.000 How can they even call it incognito?
00:25:36.000 To really stop these people from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:25:42.000 Think about all the times you've used the Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' home.
00:25:46.000 Without ExpressVPN, every single site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.
00:25:52.000 And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.
00:25:55.000 What's more is your home internet provider, I'm talking about Comcast, ATT, or whatever, can also see and record your browsing data.
00:26:02.000 ExpressVPN is an application.
00:26:04.000 It's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers.
00:26:09.000 So your private online activity says just that, private.
00:26:12.000 Expressvpn works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.
00:26:16.000 So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.
00:26:19.000 Protect yourself at Expressvpn.com slash Charlie.
00:26:23.000 Use my link at Expressvpn.com slash Charlie.
00:26:26.000 That's e-xp r e s?
00:26:28.000 Vpn.com.
00:26:29.000 Slash Charlie to learn more.
00:26:33.000 So um Jesse, I see that you are going to form an exploratory committee with Corey Bush soon to try to take back the White House.
00:26:40.000 Can you tell us why you think so highly of Corey Bush?
00:26:43.000 Have you ever encountered a more disappointing politician?
00:26:46.000 And Charlie? 0.99
00:26:47.000 There is a lot okay well, she's definitely up there.
00:26:51.000 I went through her profile the other day.
00:26:53.000 We're talking reparations.
00:26:54.000 We're talking, release all prisoners from prison and putting them into rehab facilities.
00:27:00.000 We're talking legalize, crack Charlie.
00:27:03.000 I mean defund the police.
00:27:04.000 She's not ashamed of it, she just says it in plain english.
00:27:07.000 So she represents St. Louis to the people of St. Louis, you're getting Smoked.
00:27:13.000 She does not have your best interests at heart.
00:27:15.000 She's not there for you. 0.93
00:27:17.000 She's there for herself.
00:27:18.000 She's an advocate for an ideology that history has proven false. 1.00
00:27:24.000 And personally, I think she's an idiot because she doesn't know history. 1.00
00:27:29.000 And to say that on social media on July 4th that Black Americans aren't free, I think that is done in order to keep Black Americans believing that white Americans are constantly trying to enslave them. 1.00
00:27:43.000 She does that to divide us as through a race.
00:27:46.000 And she tries to make white people feel guilty about some stranger's great, great, great, great grandfather, what he did 300 miles away in another state. 0.98
00:27:58.000 Nothing to do with us.
00:27:59.000 We shouldn't be ashamed of our history.
00:28:01.000 We should own it.
00:28:01.000 We should know what it was, but we're not going to be guilted into being led down a socialist path because someone did something, I don't know, 300 years ago.
00:28:14.000 And it seems as if that's her new, the new talking points, not just her Maxine Waters as well, who's really, she's really something as well in addition.
00:28:24.000 What is it about?
00:28:26.000 She's not related to me.
00:28:27.000 I want to clear that up.
00:28:28.000 Oh, is that right?
00:28:29.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:28:30.000 She's the original Waters, though, I got to say.
00:28:32.000 And we're all living in her world.
00:28:34.000 Same family tree, I'm sure.
00:28:36.000 Yes.
00:28:37.000 She comes over for Thanksgiving.
00:28:38.000 You guys look closely related.
00:28:40.000 Closely related.
00:28:42.000 And, you know, I have no problem discussing slavery.
00:28:46.000 I believe this country obviously started off as a slave-owning country for the most part, but we rectified it through a lot of blood, Charlie.
00:28:56.000 It was white Republican Northerners that went to war to free the slaves from the Democrats. 0.52
00:29:01.000 Notice how they never talk about the Civil War. 0.62
00:29:04.000 They always try to pick that scab about the founding.
00:29:08.000 It's always about the founding, and they never want that scar to heal.
00:29:11.000 And they use that to control us.
00:29:13.000 But Maxine's a joke. 0.99
00:29:15.000 I think someone needs to look into her financial situation out there.
00:29:19.000 And again, she represents Watts, I believe, a part of the country that has just not thrived.
00:29:27.000 We'll put it charitably over her tenure as a member of Congress.
00:29:32.000 Well, I think that you should primary her because I would just love to see two waters running and everyone would be so confused.
00:29:38.000 One T versus two. 1.00
00:29:40.000 Yeah.
00:29:40.000 That's right.
00:29:41.000 So, Jesse, tell us why do you think that we allow 10% of the left to control the entire discourse?
00:29:49.000 We don't allow it.
00:29:50.000 It's just the system that we operate in is controlled by corporate media.
00:29:55.000 We're talking social media is, well, I mean, social media, if you look at Twitter, they did a study. 0.99
00:30:00.000 It's dominated by white female atheists, college-educated liberals who are very sensitive towards political correctness and are for open borders.
00:30:14.000 Now, you look at that ecosystem.
00:30:16.000 That's not real America, but people feed off that ecosystem and think that's the truth.
00:30:21.000 That's not the truth.
00:30:23.000 So we have to stop catering to an environment that's just, it's just like funny.
00:30:28.000 It's like a funny mirror.
00:30:30.000 It's not real.
00:30:31.000 And we got to get out of that and we got to get out into the country and find what real people are talking about because that's not what they're talking about in Alabama and Texas and Florida and Pennsylvania.
00:30:42.000 We're not talking about, you know, 16,000 genders and we're not talking about, I don't know, whatever there is they're talking about on Twitter.
00:30:52.000 I don't really go on it.
00:30:53.000 Yeah, Twitter is a cesspool.
00:30:55.000 So I'm still trying to figure out what Bill O'Reilly saw in you.
00:30:58.000 But for other people, can you can you can you give some career advice?
00:31:04.000 Because basically the advice that I'm getting here is whatever your parents believe, do the opposite.
00:31:09.000 Go to wilderness camp, complain about it, be a smug intern for Bill O'Reilly and hope it works out.
00:31:14.000 Is that about right?
00:31:16.000 You nailed it.
00:31:17.000 And one more thing, do what you're told.
00:31:19.000 You know, when Bill told me to do something, I did it.
00:31:21.000 I didn't ask a lot of questions.
00:31:23.000 A lot of times, kids these days, they get assignments in corporate America and they care about how what the boss feels about them.
00:31:30.000 You think the boss cares what a 23-year-old college grad feels about an assignment?
00:31:36.000 They don't care how you feel.
00:31:38.000 They're trying to make profits.
00:31:40.000 They have shareholders that are accountable to.
00:31:42.000 No one cares about what you think or what you feel.
00:31:44.000 You're 23.
00:31:46.000 You're probably making 45 Gs.
00:31:48.000 You're expendable.
00:31:49.000 If you're going to be a problem, they'll get rid of you.
00:31:51.000 They'll find someone that wants to work harder and won't complain.
00:31:54.000 So stop complaining.
00:31:55.000 Work hard.
00:31:56.000 Keep your nose down.
00:31:58.000 In 10 years, you're going to wake up.
00:31:59.000 You might have a show on Fox.
00:32:00.000 That's what happened to me.
00:32:02.000 And it's called Waters World, which is very impressive.
00:32:06.000 It is.
00:32:07.000 I'm very impressed by it, Charlie.
00:32:09.000 So since you've saved the world, that means that the world's in a good place.
00:32:13.000 Tell us what minor adjustments you would make to our country and what people can do about it.
00:32:17.000 What do you see as looming as the biggest threats to our civilization?
00:32:21.000 Right now, the border's open, and I think that's a critical threat to our safety and our society just by the massive influx.
00:32:30.000 We're talking about a million, a million two a year now at this point.
00:32:34.000 Biden has no plan for it.
00:32:36.000 He broke the border on purpose to turn Texas blue.
00:32:38.000 We know that.
00:32:39.000 He doesn't have a solution for it.
00:32:41.000 So I don't know what Abbott can do and DeSantis can do.
00:32:44.000 They're trying to, they're treading water.
00:32:46.000 We just got to take back the house and see what we can do in the midterms because that's a critical threat.
00:32:51.000 Critical race theory also, they're trying to inject poison into the brains of our youth.
00:32:56.000 I don't know about you, Charlie.
00:32:57.000 When I was in fifth grade, I was worried about my parents.
00:33:00.000 I was getting into fights in the schoolyard.
00:33:02.000 I started liking girls.
00:33:05.000 I was in no position to start learning about white guilt and slave and how I was guilty for slavery 200 years ago.
00:33:14.000 And then in terms of gas prices, I mean, I just filled up my guy pumping my gas had a Rolex. 0.52
00:33:21.000 It was like $350 a gallon.
00:33:23.000 Now, do you live in New Jersey, Jesse?
00:33:25.000 I have a home there.
00:33:26.000 That's why someone pumps your gas, you aristocrat.
00:33:29.000 It's a law.
00:33:30.000 I know.
00:33:31.000 It's one of the few states in the, I just want to make sure everyone's clear because I could just hear our listeners in Fargo, North Dakota, gasping like, what does he live in some sort of place?
00:33:40.000 No, it's actually a law.
00:33:41.000 Yeah, they don't let you pump your own gas in New Jersey. 1.00
00:33:44.000 You just the dumbest thing ever. 0.98
00:33:46.000 Yeah, you give them your little card and they ask you unlettered and it's just an experience. 1.00
00:33:52.000 And I'm not complaining.
00:33:55.000 And then, so gas prices, that's on the horizon.
00:33:59.000 I'm worried about the hacks because Joe seems befuddled.
00:34:03.000 I mean, didn't he just draw a line and Russia just broke it? 0.79
00:34:06.000 He doesn't have a plan to stand up to the Ruskis. 0.95
00:34:09.000 That's clear as day. 0.92
00:34:11.000 So I think those three things, I think immigration, I think gas prices and critical race theory, you couple that with the crime wave this summer, people getting shot dead in the streets by strays.
00:34:23.000 Because here's the thing, population density in a big city, you know, these gangbangers, they don't know how to aim.
00:34:29.000 They're just firing randomly.
00:34:30.000 You could hit anybody.
00:34:32.000 That's why you get so many casualties on a weekend, 100 shot in Chicago.
00:34:36.000 They're not aiming.
00:34:37.000 They're just spraying.
00:34:38.000 So that's why it's so dangerous.
00:34:40.000 You got to get these guys incarcerated.
00:34:42.000 So those are the things that I think are driving midterm sentiment and are going to be pretty consequential coming up.
00:34:49.000 Well, and they defunding the police obviously doesn't help that.
00:34:52.000 So Jesse, you talk a lot about the cultural issues on your show and you see what's happening.
00:34:57.000 How big do you think the school board critical race theory thing is?
00:35:00.000 The energy around it seems similar to the Tea Party movement in 2010.
00:35:05.000 Yeah, so we covered the tea party and you were probably in diapers, but we were shocked because I'd never seen that in my career before where regular parents and shop owners were gathering in the public square and they were expressing their political beliefs in a really authentic way.
00:35:24.000 You're seeing that now.
00:35:25.000 Parents are getting off the sidelines and just screaming at school board officials and the school board officials.
00:35:31.000 They don't know how to handle it.
00:35:32.000 I mean, they're like shutting the mics down.
00:35:34.000 They're arresting people. 1.00
00:35:35.000 Trust me, that's not how you handle angry moms. 1.00
00:35:39.000 Nothing more powerful than an angry mom. 1.00
00:35:41.000 Mom's already teed up just over their kids being held out of school for a year. 1.00
00:35:46.000 Now you want to tell them that they're racist.
00:35:48.000 That's a bad combo. 1.00
00:35:50.000 Nothing more dangerous than an angry mom in this country.
00:35:53.000 And I have never seen Charlie, the left so discombobulated, disoriented, and disorganized trying to defend critical race theory.
00:36:05.000 They're either saying critical race theory doesn't exist.
00:36:05.000 What are they saying?
00:36:08.000 It's not being taught or critical race theory is being taught, but it's not that bad and it's not being taught in middle school.
00:36:15.000 And if it is being taught in middle school, then it's okay because we need to learn about racism.
00:36:22.000 They don't have a defense to this.
00:36:24.000 And I've never seen the left so disorganized from a public relations standpoint than critical race theory.
00:36:31.000 And that means we're winning big time.
00:36:33.000 I think you're right.
00:36:34.000 So, Jesse, I have a couple other things I want to chat in just the couple of minutes we have remaining.
00:36:38.000 The question that everyone has here is, why does your mom hate you?
00:36:43.000 Yeah, I wouldn't say hate. 0.71
00:36:45.000 I'd say she despises Donald Trump and used to watch the five with a cocktail in her hand every day for four years and would just send me the most hostile text messages.
00:36:59.000 So one day I was like, I was like, Gutfeld, could you believe this?
00:37:02.000 This has like F-bombs in it.
00:37:04.000 And this is my mom.
00:37:05.000 And we decided to read it on the air and it took off.
00:37:08.000 And she actually called into the five because we're celebrating our 10-year anniversary this week.
00:37:14.000 I feel like a woman, Charlie.
00:37:16.000 I'm celebrating my birthday for a whole week.
00:37:18.000 I don't know if your wife does that, but my wife sure does.
00:37:22.000 It's a lot of cake and a lot of presents.
00:37:25.000 So we're doing that.
00:37:26.000 And my mom called in and I love her to death, but she has calmed since Sleepy Joe became president.
00:37:35.000 But I think that was the intention.
00:37:36.000 It was to put everybody to sleep.
00:37:40.000 It's a lullaby presidency.
00:37:41.000 We were the lullaby president.
00:37:43.000 Hush, little baby. 1.00
00:37:44.000 Don't say a word while I destroy the country and take all your money. 1.00
00:37:51.000 While I plunder the entire nation.
00:37:53.000 And so that, so now, Jesse, let's talk Philadelphia Eagles football.
00:37:59.000 So are you still watching the NFL or are you protesting?
00:38:03.000 So tell me the moral reason why you still watch football, despite all these people who hate the nation and they're all over the place.
00:38:10.000 Give me the moral argument because this is something that I wrestle with our listeners every day because I'm like, I don't watch the finals.
00:38:16.000 I don't want to hear about it.
00:38:18.000 I don't have a moral argument.
00:38:19.000 I'm immorally watching the NFL.
00:38:21.000 I mean, it's like Football Sunday, man.
00:38:24.000 We got Jalen Hurts behind center.
00:38:26.000 I think we're going to make the playoffs this year.
00:38:28.000 We got a lot of talent at wide receiver and running back.
00:38:31.000 We had a few great draft picks.
00:38:33.000 So I think we'll win the East and make a good run.
00:38:37.000 But in terms of the kneeling, like we did that.
00:38:40.000 I'm not going to boycott it.
00:38:42.000 I got to watch my football.
00:38:43.000 You played football, right?
00:38:44.000 I've seen your arm, Charlie.
00:38:45.000 You can't get it out.
00:38:46.000 So as an athlete, I can't just stay on the sidelines, you know, and watch playoff baseball.
00:38:52.000 It's too boring.
00:38:53.000 I got to watch football on Sunday.
00:38:55.000 I got to watch my birds.
00:38:56.000 So you think the Eagles are going to be pretty good this year?
00:38:59.000 I think that every year, Charlie.
00:39:00.000 I think they're going to win the Super Bowl every year.
00:39:03.000 You were right a couple years ago.
00:39:05.000 We've only won once.
00:39:06.000 We beat the Pats.
00:39:08.000 We won once.
00:39:09.000 And, you know, I could die a happy man after that.
00:39:12.000 And so in closing here, Jesse, the book is How I Saved the World, Jesse Waters' Miraculous Journey to Save Humanity.
00:39:20.000 I just, I created the subtext.
00:39:20.000 I'm kidding.
00:39:22.000 But anything else you wanted to mention, Jesse?
00:39:24.000 Where can people find it?
00:39:25.000 And how can they support you and the book?
00:39:29.000 Well, we are currently number two on Amazon behind a Reese Witherspoon book club recommendation, fiction.
00:39:39.000 So if you, I don't have a beef with Reese, seems like a fine woman. 1.00
00:39:43.000 But if you hate Hollywood, buy my book and we'll take her out.
00:39:47.000 Now I'm really curious what this book could possibly be.
00:39:49.000 Oh, it's the Reese's.
00:39:50.000 If you're not curious, Charlie, you don't care at all.
00:39:53.000 Oh, I'm about to say it.
00:39:54.000 No, I'm not because I'm loyal, Jesse.
00:39:56.000 That's why.
00:39:57.000 The book is How I Save the World.
00:39:58.000 Let's get Jesse to be the number one on Amazon, even though we hate them.
00:40:02.000 And Jesse, thanks so much for joining us.
00:40:05.000 We deeply appreciate it.
00:40:06.000 I think we are seeing you at a turning point event sometime soon.
00:40:09.000 I can't wait.
00:40:10.000 And I might actually tell your beautiful audience how to hold these punks accountable.
00:40:15.000 We'll give you guys some tips about making these guys cry and pee themselves.
00:40:20.000 You need to come.
00:40:21.000 You need to wear a cape when you attend our Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida.
00:40:26.000 Jesse, thank you for saving humanity.
