00:00:27.000In this action-packed episode of the Charlie Kirk Show, we talk about issues that others are afraid to talk about.
00:00:32.000We go deep and we go wide here on the Charlie Kirk Show, thanks to your support.

00:01:44.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:02.000When 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.
00:03:10.000So 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?
00:03:18.000That's what you're doing when you bank with these woke losers at Wells Fargo.
00:03:24.000So take out a loan with the good guys.
00:07:04.000I just took it and plastered it on the back of the book.
00:07:07.000Listen, Charlie, you've written books before.
00:07:09.000You 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?
00:07:25.000So I just plagiarized what these hateful mainstream media people said about me and slapped it on the back.
00:07:33.000And 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.
00:07:58.000had a run where it was the hottest show on television because he would just roast these Republicans.
00:08:06.000And 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.
00:09:22.000So 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.
00:09:34.000Now, did you grow up in New York or New Jersey?
00:09:36.000Because it seems that's like a New Jersey thing.
00:09:38.000You just send your kids to camp and they come back different people.
00:09:40.000Yeah, so I grew up in Philly and in the Northeast with your overprivileged children is you send them to wilderness schools.
00:10:25.000And 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.
00:10:36.000And 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.
00:11:23.000There's degrees of how much it affects people.
00:11:25.000But for the most part, liberals are not secure in themselves.
00:11:30.000They'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.
00:11:50.000How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:11:54.000In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:12:00.000Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.
00:12:03.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:12:05.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:12:24.000So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like producer Andrew.
00:12:28.000Maybe 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.
00:12:40.000But maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.
00:13:00.000We both have spent a lot of time with him.
00:13:01.000Tell our viewers, what is he like in person?
00:13:04.000You've spent more time with Trump than anybody.
00:13:07.000I mean, you guys are close and you should just be so grateful because anybody, and I'm just going to throw politics out.
00:13:15.000A liberal, a socialist, an anarchist, you go in and you meet this guy.
00:13:21.000This guy will make you feel like you're having the time of your life.
00:13:24.000Super 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.
00:13:41.000And, 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.
00:13:53.000So tell us a little bit about what it's like to work at Fox News.
00:13:57.000What is it like to have to talk to liberals every single day as a Fox News personality?
00:14:02.000They keep on, they're dropping like flies recently, Jesse.
00:14:05.000They keep on having to bring in these new liberals.
00:14:08.000And what, because a lot of our young people listen to this podcast, they're on college campuses.
00:14:13.000They have to deal with liberals all day long.
00:16:04.000Not all of them, but some will get there as they grow older.
00:16:07.000So you just, you just have to lead them, lead them nicely to the, to the, to greener pastures.
00:16:13.000So 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?
00:16:25.000Do 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?
00:17:18.000It was either this or military school, Charlie.
00:17:20.000And 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.
00:17:36.000So I actually think my parents were sending me to like reform school here, but I survived.
00:17:41.000And look at me, now I'm a big smash hit on Fox.
00:17:43.000So they must have done something right.
00:19:24.000And 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.
00:20:24.000I just handled it a lot better than most people.
00:20:26.000So in the book, I give advice on how to handle a jerk like.
00:20:31.000So how do you handle an how do you handle an ambush, Jesse?
00:20:34.000So if you're confronted in a spontaneous way, you're going to look guilty no matter what.
00:20:40.000So the best thing to do, and this is what someone did.
00:20:43.000This guy used to run Merrill Lynch and he took a $165 million golden parachute, left the stockholders high and dry during the financial crisis.
00:20:52.000Guy golfed every day like scratch golfer, never was in the office.
00:20:59.000So 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.
00:22:33.000But that was a time when powerful people were directly confronted by truth tellers.
00:22:38.000Where is Jesse Waters going after Jeff Bezos?
00:22:40.000If you save the world, Jesse, why don't you go confront Zuckerberg?
00:22:44.000You could just solve this whole problem for us.
00:22:47.000Well, thank you for giving me license to go to California and expense that trip, Charlie.
00:22:51.000Anytime for FoxNation.com, you can find Charlie Kirk.
00:22:54.000So I have to be in studio five days a week now.
00:22:58.000I 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.
00:23:26.000Remember, 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.
00:24:06.000And it gives politicians a pass because these powerful people, corporate people, they'll get away with whatever they can get away with.
00:24:13.000And when we're there here, right here, Charlie, breathing down their neck, they'll cut that out.
00:24:19.000Well, and that's the type of journalism that I think is missing right now.
00:24:22.000Instead, 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.
00:24:29.000And the true powerful people actually kind of go almost totally unscathed.
00:24:40.000You should have a little institute or a little wing of your organization that does train.
00:24:46.000I 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.
00:24:57.000And I think you guys could really make an impact that way.
00:27:18.000She's an advocate for an ideology that history has proven false.
00:27:24.000And personally, I think she's an idiot because she doesn't know history.
00:27:29.000And 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.
00:27:43.000She does that to divide us as through a race.
00:27:46.000And 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.
00:28:01.000We 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.
00:28:14.000And 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.
00:28:42.000And, you know, I have no problem discussing slavery.
00:28:46.000I 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.
00:28:56.000It was white Republican Northerners that went to war to free the slaves from the Democrats.
00:29:01.000Notice how they never talk about the Civil War.
00:29:04.000They always try to pick that scab about the founding.
00:29:08.000It's always about the founding, and they never want that scar to heal.
00:29:50.000It's just the system that we operate in is controlled by corporate media.
00:29:55.000We're talking social media is, well, I mean, social media, if you look at Twitter, they did a study.
00:30:00.000It's dominated by white female atheists, college-educated liberals who are very sensitive towards political correctness and are for open borders.
00:30:31.000And 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.
00:30:42.000We'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.
00:33:31.000It'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?
00:34:11.000So 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.
00:34:23.000Because here's the thing, population density in a big city, you know, these gangbangers, they don't know how to aim.
00:34:40.000You got to get these guys incarcerated.
00:34:42.000So those are the things that I think are driving midterm sentiment and are going to be pretty consequential coming up.
00:34:49.000Well, and they defunding the police obviously doesn't help that.
00:34:52.000So Jesse, you talk a lot about the cultural issues on your show and you see what's happening.
00:34:57.000How big do you think the school board critical race theory thing is?
00:35:00.000The energy around it seems similar to the Tea Party movement in 2010.
00:35:05.000Yeah, 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.
00:36:45.000I'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.
00:36:59.000So one day I was like, I was like, Gutfeld, could you believe this?
00:37:53.000And so that, so now, Jesse, let's talk Philadelphia Eagles football.
00:37:59.000So are you still watching the NFL or are you protesting?
00:38:03.000So 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.
00:38:10.000Give 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.
