00:01:40.000 If you look with a careful eye, our society is becoming more violent, especially youth violence.
00:01:47.000 You ask any teacher in a government school system across the country, especially urban schools, they say the amount of fighting, the amount of near-death casualties that are happening is increasing dramatically.
00:02:00.000 And we see this on TikTok of all places where they're posting videos of youth violence and random beatings.
00:02:06.000 Joining us to discuss is Judge Alex Furr, who is a former Florida Circuit Court judge and former host of Judge Alex.
00:02:14.000 Judge Alex, welcome to the program.
00:02:16.000 Hey, thanks for having me, Charlie.
00:02:18.000 It's a pleasure.
00:02:18.000 Thank you.
00:02:19.000 So, what kind of prompted this discussion was the beating of what seems to be two young girls.
00:02:26.000 Let's just play Cut 25. 0.98
00:02:28.000 It's very hard to watch, but let's play Cut 25.
00:02:49.000 So, Judge Alex, what's going on in this clip?
00:02:50.000 And is this part of a larger trend?
00:02:53.000 Well, what's going on is a serious crime because what a video cuts off after she slams that girl's head into the pavement twice, the girl very clearly starts seizing, goes into a seizure.
00:03:07.000 And notably, the person who's videoing and all the other teens around don't come to help the girl at all.
00:03:12.000 She's just laying there having a massive seizure. 0.70
00:03:15.000 And what's going on in the video is a crime.
00:03:17.000 It's just a, it's a, it can be charged as a very serious felony.
00:03:22.000 I understand that the girl on the ground is in critical condition.
00:03:25.000 Last I heard, I don't know if she's come out of that, but she's in critical condition.
00:03:28.000 God forbid she passes away. 0.99
00:03:31.000 The girl who did that to her should be and will be charged with murder. 0.99
00:03:34.000 Probably Florida would be the equivalent of second-degree murder, not first.
00:03:39.000 Not sure what the title is in Missouri, but that's a felony that can send you to prison for 30 years or more.
00:03:47.000 So it's a very serious problem.
00:03:50.000 We are seeing a trend of this.
00:03:52.000 We are seeing teens becoming more violent in the neighborhood, at school, to classmates, all over.
00:04:00.000 The question about why divides into two categories.
00:04:05.000 Why is this individual violent looks at like that?
00:04:08.000 Is that person seeing it at home?
00:04:10.000 Are they being riled up by their classmates?
00:04:13.000 Do they have mental health issues, all that?
00:04:15.000 But the question of why society teens are becoming more violent, I firmly believe it's a perception of lack of consequences, and in many cases, a reality of lack of consequences.
00:04:29.000 When teenagers or when anybody sees adults assaulting cops, beating them down, and then getting released from jail and walking by and flipping the bird of the TV cameras, that sends a very clear message that there aren't consequences for criminal actions, even criminal actions against police officers.
00:04:48.000 Teenagers know that if they commit a crime, they're going to get punished, but they're going to get punished less than police officers.
00:04:55.000 I'm sorry, than adults.
00:04:57.000 So what kind of message are you setting if sending to them if adults are hardly getting punished?
00:05:03.000 They feel they can get away with anything.
00:05:05.000 They watch people walk into stores and just steal everything they can grab and walk out and they're no consequence.
00:05:11.000 They hear about states decriminalizing those crimes where you don't even call the police.
00:05:16.000 They're not going to take the report.
00:05:18.000 It's not a crime if it's up to $1,000, let's say, in some states or whatever.
00:05:23.000 So when you instill in young people who are just developing their moral compass that there are no consequences for bad actions, yeah, I'm absolutely not surprised that violence, teen violence is on the rise.
00:05:38.000 And on top of that, you add the racial component where for the last, I don't know, it's been more than a decade, it appears that blacks and whites have been pitted against each other.
00:05:50.000 At least blacks have been pitted against whites. 1.00
00:05:54.000 It's really creating this powder keg where it's just looking to vent somewhere.
00:06:02.000 And things like this are going to happen.
00:06:04.000 So as a judge and as someone who has dealt in the American justice system, the radical forces on the other side will say that we can't be punitive.
00:06:15.000 We must be restorative.
00:06:17.000 And if you just put someone in prison for what they do wrong, it actually doesn't rehabilitate them.
00:06:24.000 I have a different view.
00:06:25.000 I'm sure you agree that if you have a consequence for an action, then the incentives change and people know that if you do that thing, they're less likely then to continue to do that thing.
00:06:35.000 How do you address that whole idea that we shouldn't use the American justice system for justice instead it should be a slap on the wrist?
00:06:44.000 I mean, for example, this young lady who did this, this thug who gave the girl a brain injury, she wasn't arrested until this video went viral.
00:06:53.000 There was no arrest.
00:06:54.000 There was no investigation.
00:06:55.000 By the way, every single day we hear stories of kids that are getting hospitalized.
00:07:01.000 One kid died, I think, in Vegas, if I'm not mistaken.
00:07:04.000 He got pounded by his classmates.
00:07:07.000 Judge, your reaction.
00:07:09.000 Well, my first reaction is that justice has to be absolutely colorblind. 0.71
00:07:13.000 If this was reversed and it was a white girl who beat a black girl down and slammed her head on the concrete so hard twice, hitting somebody's head on the concrete is no different than taking a pole made of concrete and slamming them on the head with it. 0.52
00:07:26.000 In fact, it's probably worse because concrete doesn't give. 0.98
00:07:29.000 So you're potentially killing that person. 0.99
00:07:32.000 If it had been a white girl who did that to a black girl, the uproar would be instantaneous. 0.99
00:07:39.000 The arrest, I believe, would have been a lot quicker and justifiably so. 0.99
00:07:43.000 White people commit racist crimes as well.
00:07:46.000 I don't know if this one was racist. 0.92
00:07:48.000 Immediately, when we see white and black fighting, we assume that there may be a racial component, but it may not be at all.
00:07:54.000 It may be just some hatred between the two girls or whatever. 0.95
00:07:58.000 But the bottom line is what it led to is a very serious injury.
00:08:03.000 And so when you're a judge and you're sentencing, or you're, and we're very far down the road, because of course, before you get to that point, the police officer has to make an arrest.
00:08:13.000 I don't know why an arrest wasn't made on the scene, even with mutual combat, which is, as far as I know, not codified anywhere in the country.
00:08:22.000 I don't think there's a statute in the country in any state that says mutual combat is a defense, mutual combat being when two parties agree to go outside and fight.
00:08:32.000 But it is viewed as a defense in many cases throughout the country where two people just agree to fight.
00:08:39.000 Even then, if serious injury results, the person can be arrested.
00:08:45.000 And in fact, both people can be arrested for a disorderly conduct type of charge or whatever.
00:08:52.000 So, in this case, the police should have arrested the perpetrator on the spot.
00:08:57.000 They didn't.
00:08:58.000 I assume the public backlash led for them to take action, but now you have to wait to see what the prosecutor does.
00:09:05.000 So, now at this point, I don't know if the prosecutor brought charges.
00:09:08.000 I heard something about them being charged with assault.
00:09:10.000 Assault or the person being charged with assault, assault varies in definition across the country.
00:09:17.000 In Florida, for example, assault is a very minor crime.
00:09:21.000 It's a threat to do harm without any bodily contact.
00:09:24.000 But in other states, assault is a very serious crime.
00:09:29.000 So, the definition really is what matters.
00:09:33.000 If the person in this case was charged with a felony, I think that's appropriate because there was an intent to cause serious bodily harm, and that is what they should be facing-a charge for that.
00:09:45.000 But then you have to see where it goes from there.
00:09:47.000 Do they plead them down to something or something less, in which case the judge is limited by whatever that charge is, or does it go to trial and do they get convicted?
00:09:56.000 And then the judge has to make a decision looking at all the circumstances of the case, looking at whatever happened to the person, the victim in the case.
00:10:05.000 And yes, you do have some way.
00:10:07.000 There is the consideration that a juvenile does not have the common sense of an adult, most adults anyway.
00:10:15.000 So, you take that into consideration.
00:10:17.000 But, in addition, you know, if you're a juvenile and you step up to the major league plate on your first time, that was your choice.
00:10:25.000 You know, so all of these factors-the age of the person goes into it.
00:10:29.000 The fact that prison, yes, is not rehabilitative.
00:10:32.000 I would agree with that.
00:10:34.000 Most people, you know, they don't get better when they go to prison.
00:10:37.000 Some people do.
00:10:38.000 Some people go to prison and they go, I never want to go there again, and they never go back and they straighten their life.
00:10:42.000 Other people just learn skills there.
00:10:44.000 And it's not a good place to be if you're a juvenile.
00:10:46.000 On the other hand, you're not just trying to deter this one juvenile, you're trying to deter all of the others.
00:10:55.000 That's part of sentencing is deterrence in addition to punishment.
00:10:59.000 So, you, you know, when kids keep seeing people getting away with stuff, it just generates that mindset of I can do whatever I want.
00:11:09.000 Just think of what a big man on campus I'll be tomorrow when everybody sees this viral video of me beating this person to a pole.
00:11:16.000 When they see consequences and they see, oh my God, you remember so-and-so, she went to prison for doing this. 0.97
00:11:23.000 Then, maybe the next time there's a fight, it stops before the slamming of the head onto the concrete.
00:11:29.000 It stops at just a fight, which happens.
00:11:33.000 So, I think that those are all balancing factors, but just looking at one far end is a mistake.
00:11:44.000 Judge Alex, thank you so much for the commentary.
00:11:47.000 Have you on again soon?
00:11:48.000 Thank you so much.
00:11:49.000 Thanks for having me on.

00:12:56.000 All right, just a reminder: I will be at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday.
00:13:04.000 I will also be, I believe, at Phil Hot Bin Spiller's Church. 0.76
00:13:09.000 I think it's called Influencer Church, Influence Church, on Thursday night.
00:13:13.000 And then on Sunday, I will be at John Randall's Church, Calvary Chapel, San Juan Capistrano.
00:13:23.000 And then on Monday, I will be at San Diego State University answering questions on the ground and then doing an evening event as well.
00:13:33.000 So a lot happening.
00:13:35.000 And boy, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, if that was any indicator, six, seven hundred people that attended our change my mind.
00:13:43.000 It was really something.
00:13:44.000 Joe Biden views the invasion of this country and the invaders as a constituency, as a core constituency.
00:13:52.000 Joe Biden sat down with MSNBC for an exclusive interview.
00:13:55.000 He did this to try to play cover-up because he got in big trouble because he called the criminals, the foreigners that have broken into our country, that have stayed in our country, that have illegally domiciled themselves into our country, many of whom steal social security numbers.
00:14:10.000 Their presence is an act of crime.
00:14:12.000 Every day they are here, they are committing a crime.
00:14:15.000 You're not allowed to harbor yourself illegally in this country.
00:14:17.000 We don't enforce that law, but it is against the law.
00:14:20.000 By the way, there's an amazing exchange that will be posted from our time at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
00:14:27.000 A well-intentioned young man who said, Hey, my mom came here illegally.
00:14:30.000 Do you think she should be deported?
00:14:32.000 I said, Of course.
00:14:33.000 He never heard anyone be so blunt about it.
00:14:36.000 You're going to have to watch the rest of the tape to see how it ends up.
00:14:39.000 If you break into somebody's home, you don't have squatters' rights.
00:14:43.000 You don't get to squat in our country.
00:14:45.000 Oh, I've been here for 20 years.
00:14:47.000 I'm a citizen.
00:14:47.000 That's how it works.
00:14:49.000 By the way, if these people are so amazing, and some, of course, have skills and talents, and some people are terrific.
00:14:58.000 But as Joe Biden says, if they built America, then why don't they go back and build Honduras?
00:15:03.000 Why couldn't they build Honduras while they were there? 1.00
00:15:06.000 Play Cut 8 in one of the most repulsive, disgusting pieces of tape that you will ever see from a world leader.
00:15:16.000 Play Cut 8.
00:15:17.000 But during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word illegal when talking about the man who allegedly killed Lincoln Riley.
00:15:26.000 An undocumented person.
00:15:28.000 I shouldn't have used illegal.
00:15:30.000 It's undocumented.
00:15:31.000 And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about on the border was that his way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood.
00:15:41.000 I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do.
00:15:44.000 I'm not going to treat Any of these people with disrespect.
00:15:48.000 Look, they built the country.
00:15:50.000 The reason our economy is growing.
00:15:52.000 You hear that?
00:15:53.000 They built the country.
00:15:55.000 George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, they were illegals. 0.91
00:16:01.000 Now, what Joe Biden probably meant, and I'm not even one to extend an olive branch, is he meant that immigrants built this country.
00:16:08.000 No, they didn't.
00:16:09.000 Immigrants have helped innovate.
00:16:12.000 Settlers built this country. 1.00
00:16:14.000 People that came here when there was nothing.
00:16:17.000 There are two different types of people.
00:16:18.000 Well, there's more than two.
00:16:19.000 There's refugees, there's foreigners, there's criminals, but there's largely two different types of travelers, legal travelers. 1.00
00:16:27.000 You have settlers and you have immigrants. 0.99
00:16:28.000 Settlers and immigrants. 1.00
00:16:31.000 Settlers come to land that is barren and build something new. 0.97
00:16:37.000 Immigrants come to something that is already built and hopefully contribute and assimilate. 0.98
00:16:43.000 Those are two completely different things.
00:16:44.000 To come to a barren land, which the land was barren when they arrived, and to build a new civilization, to build something from nothing is noteworthy.
00:16:57.000 To build something from something is still important.
00:17:00.000 And immigrants, some of which have been wonderful, beautiful contributions to this country.
00:17:05.000 But to equate the two is different.
00:17:08.000 And that we've fallen into this trap.
00:17:09.000 You know, well, immigrants built the country.
00:17:11.000 Immigrants built.
00:17:11.000 No, no, no, hold on.
00:17:12.000 Settlers built the country. 1.00
00:17:14.000 To go west to the barren plains of Utah, Arizona, California, and to build new villages and towns on the Western code is a lot different than arriving into Houston and to go work as a maid.
00:17:37.000 That's fine.
00:17:38.000 That's helpful.
00:17:39.000 That is necessary, but it's completely different.
00:17:43.000 The greatness of small-town America, and make no mistake, America was great not because of our urban centers.
00:17:51.000 London always existed.
00:17:53.000 Paris always existed.
00:17:54.000 The idea of big cities is not what made America great.
00:17:56.000 What made America great was the mid-level towns.
00:18:00.000 This is a story that is not emphasized enough.
00:18:03.000 It is the Peorias.
00:18:05.000 It's the Dubuques.
00:18:06.000 It is the Mankatos.
00:18:08.000 It is the Missoulas, more so than the Chicago's and the New Yorks.
00:18:13.000 That when the people who built those cities got there, they were barren and they built something ex nihilo.
00:18:22.000 The globalists are making it very clear that another pandemic could be just around the corner.
00:18:26.000 They want us to live in fear to be willing to sacrifice our freedoms.
00:18:29.000 It doesn't have to be this way.
00:18:30.000 You need to be prepared, not scared.
00:18:31.000 That's why you need the Wellness Company.
00:18:33.000 The Wellness Company and their doctors are medical professionals that you can trust.
00:18:37.000 Their medical emergency kits are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you safe and healthy.

00:19:19.000 And he was at UFC 299 in Miami with President Trump and many other people.
00:19:24.000 Benny Johnson.
00:19:25.000 Benny, welcome to the program.
00:19:26.000 What's up, Charlie?
00:19:27.000 How are you?
00:19:28.000 What a weekend.
00:19:29.000 Tell us all about it.
00:19:30.000 Again, I was asleep.
00:19:31.000 I went to bed at 8 local, and you couldn't, I'm really not a UFC person.
00:19:38.000 So tell me what I missed.
00:19:40.000 So let's begin.
00:19:42.000 Dana White is a great American.
00:19:44.000 He's a total G.
00:19:45.000 And we hit up Dana White, said, We're going to be in Miami filming a documentary at one of the Trump properties.
00:19:51.000 Could we go to UFC?
00:19:52.000 We're like kind of interested.
00:19:53.000 Maybe we can film behind the stage.
00:19:54.000 It seems like sort of a cultural nexus that we should be a part of: country music, NASCAR, UFC.
00:20:00.000 This is the right creating culture, and we need more of that.
00:20:03.000 We had no idea that Donald Trump was going to be there.
00:20:05.000 Dana White responds back immediately as absolutely roll through.
00:20:08.000 So we were there as guests of Dana and we show up without any sort of preconceived understanding of the UFC.
00:20:18.000 I was not a fan of the UFC.
00:20:19.000 We covered it on the show whenever there's a cultural moment, but I'm not some massive fight fan, right?
00:20:24.000 I don't, I don't watch and nor do I follow really closely culturally what they're doing.
00:20:29.000 And so I come in with no real understanding of the UFC or fight culture.
00:20:35.000 And this is, I think, the first point.
00:20:37.000 The fights were unbelievable.
00:20:39.000 And I say this just as a simple observer in the stands, I get bored at NFL games.
00:20:44.000 I get bored at NBA games.
00:20:46.000 I get really bored at MLB games.
00:20:48.000 I'm not a big sports guy.
00:20:50.000 And I got to tell you, like, you know, I realize why I'm not a big sports guy when I go to this stuff.
00:20:56.000 The UFC was from the first hit, like, you're like captivated because it awakens something inside of all of our DNA.
00:21:03.000 Like, cause our ancestors thousands of years ago would go to the Coliseum and you would see UFC style battles.
00:21:09.000 You would see like man-on-man combat.
00:21:11.000 Like you'd see true warriors and gladiators.
00:21:15.000 And I think it like the UFC actually captures that and is so brutal and raw in a world that is bubble wrapping all the athletes and where athletes are like really just fabulous, like left-wing fabulous and obnoxious and pretentious and preening.
00:21:31.000 Like the UFC is just so brutal and such, has such a high T masculine energy.
00:21:37.000 It's like testosterone replacement therapy for a nation that desperately needs it.
00:21:40.000 It's a TRT clinic.
00:21:42.000 It's a TRT clinic.
00:21:43.000 Yeah.
00:21:44.000 That's very funny.
00:21:45.000 Keep going.
00:21:45.000 So anyway, I don't mean a monologue here, but I do want to like capture the fact that this was the largest takeaway for me about the UFC is that I didn't need to be some type of like massive sports knot to enjoy it.
00:21:57.000 I freaking enjoyed it from the first hit.
00:21:59.000 I watched every fight.
00:22:01.000 Dana put us ringside.
00:22:02.000 I mean, we were seeing the first row.
00:22:05.000 And so it was just awesome.
00:22:06.000 You could hear the punches.
00:22:07.000 You could see the kicks.
00:22:08.000 And there was just something so, there's just something so raw, ethereal, and masculine about that.
00:22:14.000 It just awakens something in me.
00:22:16.000 I wasn't prepared for that.
00:22:17.000 And so I was really thrilled about that because I didn't, I wasn't sure if I'd get it when I went there, just like you.
00:22:21.000 I wasn't sure if I'd get it.
00:22:22.000 No, I've been doing anyway.
00:22:24.000 And I totally going and watching on TV are two completely different things.
00:22:29.000 It is watching on TV is very two-dimensional.
00:22:32.000 Again, I have nothing against people that watch it.
00:22:34.000 In fact, I think that if more people watched UFC than other trash on TV, the country would be a better place.
00:22:39.000 I think it's fine. 0.57
00:22:40.000 It's admirable.
00:22:41.000 It is incredibly difficult to do what they do.
00:22:44.000 But what else, Benny?
00:22:45.000 What are the other takeaways?
00:22:46.000 By the way, you and your Joe Burrow and Nick Bossa and Patrick Bett David and Candace Ellens.
00:22:50.000 Keep going, Benny.
00:22:51.000 Those are the, those, that's the big takeaway.
00:22:53.000 So then, so then, you know, you walk in and you see Dan Scavino sitting there and you're like, Trump's going to be here.
00:22:58.000 Oh, oh, Trump's going to be here.
00:23:00.000 Oh, amazing.
00:23:01.000 All right.
00:23:01.000 And then there's this section next to our section where the name, they put the name on the seat and the name was just 45.
00:23:07.000 The entire section just said 45 on it.
00:23:10.000 And I'm like, oh, come on.
00:23:11.000 And then you see the Secret Service rolling around.
00:23:13.000 And the Secret Service, as you know, Charlie, has very specific look, right?
00:23:18.000 You can't hide if you're a Secret Service member, right?
00:23:20.000 Very specific suit, very specific way that they stand, specific shoes that they wear and earpieces.
00:23:24.000 And so it's like, wait a second.
00:23:26.000 We didn't know Trump was going to be there.
00:23:28.000 Suddenly we realized Trump was going to be there.
00:23:30.000 Obviously, as you just mentioned, there were massive tech moguls there, billionaires, there, media moguls, the biggest influencers on planet Earth.
00:23:38.000 Like Mr. Beast is the most followed man on all of you.
00:23:41.000 These are the big, Mr. Beast was there.
00:23:43.000 Logan Paul was there.
00:23:44.000 Aiden Ross and all these guys.
00:23:46.000 And so it's like, this was like the nexus for all of culture.
00:23:51.000 And this is what was really important.
00:23:52.000 One, Donald Trump walks in, and I've never heard a roar like this.
00:23:55.000 This was like a brave heart, like 20,000 men taking the field of battle roar.
00:24:01.000 The reception that Donald Trump got was deafening when he walked into that arena.
00:24:06.000 Deafening.
00:24:08.000 And here's the most important thing: you have NFL quarterbacks, you have billionaires, you have Tech Titans, you have media moguls, you have the biggest influencers on planet Earth.
00:24:14.000 None of them get receptions.
00:24:16.000 Donald Trump gets that reception.
00:24:17.000 And most importantly, while other politicians in the room, and there were many, were running up to the celebrities to get photos and to try and gain off their influence, the celebrity class was going to Donald Trump.
00:24:31.000 And that's what I thought was fascinating: is that you have a moment here where like you realize Trump is just not a politician.
00:24:38.000 Trump is the maxim of masculine energy and celebrity in our time and is the biggest celebrity, biggest man-made celebrity that ever lived, right?
00:24:49.000 And so all of these celebrities, all these people where every other politician was drubbing and trying to get photos with the quarterbacks and the billionaires, all those people were then going to, all those people were going to Trump, not the other way around.
00:25:01.000 Well, so, so, and so everyone was going.
00:25:03.000 I want to ask you something.
00:25:04.000 So, there's this trend, and I know you've been covering it, where the left has become hyper-feminine, and that young men are becoming more and more right-wing.
00:25:13.000 Did you see those elements on display at what could be called the modern gladiator match?
00:25:19.000 Totally, and that's why Donald Trump rules that place because Donald Trump is the ultimate warrior, right?
00:25:25.000 And they respect that masculine energy.
00:25:28.000 Even if Nick Bosa and like Joe Burrow and all their agents are telling him that, like, don't touch Trump, don't go up to Trump.
00:25:34.000 Trump's broken the wheel, and Trump's pro like is a proven gladiator.
00:25:39.000 And so, when Donald Trump walks into that arena, that's why all those guys are going up to like pay homage, kiss the ring, and like game respect game, right?
00:25:49.000 Because that place is built on masculine energy and testosterone and manliness.
00:25:55.000 Donald Trump is the personification of those things, they're like the epitome of that.
00:26:00.000 And those people are saying, I want what Donald Trump has, right?
00:26:04.000 And I want to be able to fight the system and also F the system, to be quite honest.
00:26:07.000 They told me that this man was toxic, that this man was poisoned.
00:26:10.000 They'd thrown everything they can at him in his own version of the octagon, and Donald Trump has defeated it all.
00:26:16.000 And so, there's like this deep, resounding, resonant respect for him.
00:26:20.000 And you saw that with the fighters.
00:26:22.000 There was this, there was this fighter that fought right at the main card, Poitier.
00:26:29.000 Poitier was his last name.
00:26:31.000 Forgive me if I'm mispronouncing that.
00:26:33.000 Dustin Poitier.
00:26:34.000 And he wins by knockout and he runs over to Donald Trump to like say, Are you proud of me?
00:26:42.000 Right?
00:26:43.000 Like he, like the warrior who just defeated this man in the octagon.
00:26:46.000 He runs over to Donald Trump.
00:26:48.000 He goes to the great Caesar and says, and he has to do the thumb up.
00:26:53.000 He goes to Joaquin Phoenix.
00:26:55.000 Yes, exactly.
00:26:57.000 And these fighters pay respect to Trump who's in ringside with Jared and Ivana.
00:27:04.000 Yes.
00:27:05.000 They go to Caesar and say, What else, sir?
00:27:09.000 That's right.
00:27:10.000 Shall I deliver this?
00:27:11.000 That's exactly right.
00:27:12.000 To you.
00:27:12.000 It's amazing.
00:27:13.000 So we want to rebuild the Roman Empire. 0.88
00:27:15.000 And like, here we are.
00:27:19.000 I mean, all kidding aside, though, Benny, there's a reason.
00:27:22.000 And what I guess got to give Dana White credit.
00:27:24.000 And I don't know Dana that well.
00:27:25.000 We've hung out once and we text every so often.
00:27:28.000 There it is.
00:27:28.000 He goes to Joaquin Phoenix and Trump just nods in approval.
00:27:34.000 Yes.
00:27:35.000 Everyone, Charlie, everyone was going up.
00:27:38.000 A lot of these clips that are going viral is our team just filming.
00:27:40.000 We were just like, I just told my production team, I was there with the great ALX and I was there with Rolls-Royce on my team.
00:27:45.000 I was like, just film, film every celebrity that talks to Trump.
00:27:48.000 It'll make huge news.
00:27:50.000 And because it was amazing.
00:27:51.000 It was actually, I was, it was, it was, it was something I wasn't expecting because I thought perhaps maybe the toxicity of like they, maybe it still existed because there was a time when Trump was in the White House when NFL teams wouldn't even show up when they won the Super Bowl.
00:28:06.000 Remember that?
00:28:06.000 Yes.
00:28:07.000 And that time is now dead.
00:28:08.000 Trump has broken the wheel.
00:28:10.000 And so this idea of men going right wing in the auditorium, did you hear any booze?
00:28:18.000 I mean, was this it's almost fair to say that if you're on the if you're into fitness, personal nutrition, not want to be an androgynous consumer, not into the whole metrosexual agenda, does that automatically make you make you a right winger now?
00:28:34.000 I think the UFC is saving American masculinity because American sports has long been defined by slovenly fans sitting back and watching athletes who hate them and who hate their country, like right, the people who kneel for the flag and the anthem, these fabulous athletes that are left-wing athletes and totally captured and totally operated the Travis Kelseys of the world, right?
00:28:58.000 Doing the, you know, like doing the Pfizer ads, right?
00:29:01.000 And you have these, these athletes that hate the fans and the fans are slobs. 0.84
00:29:05.000 And in the UFC, it was the reverse.
00:29:08.000 That shocked me.
00:29:09.000 Again, I had never gone to a UFC fight.
00:29:12.000 I don't didn't consider myself some type of massive fan, just tertiary knowledge.
00:29:16.000 And so I walked in there and I'm looking around.
00:29:17.000 I'm like, these guys are all like every person in the audience, the 70,000 people there, every person looked like they could jump in the afghan and like start, you know, beating the crap, like beating the crap out of their opponent. 0.97
00:29:29.000 It was amazing. 0.91
00:29:29.000 So you have this masculine audience. 0.91
00:29:31.000 You have these people that are taking their fitness seriously.
00:29:33.000 There wasn't a lot of drinking.
00:29:35.000 I know that's a big thing for you, Charlie, in my old age.
00:29:37.000 That's actually something that I've totally matured into and I agree with you now.
00:29:42.000 Like I virtually don't drink.
00:29:44.000 I looked around the influencers.
00:29:45.000 It wasn't like a booze fest or a degeneracy fest.
00:29:47.000 It was like people that clearly respect their health and respect their own masculinity and like respect like the T levels.
00:29:55.000 And they're watching these fighters that do the same and these fighters that also reflect their worldview.
00:30:00.000 And that's what I think is so fascinating is a lot of these fighters are like unashamed patriots.
00:30:05.000 The USA chants that broke out, anytime there was an American fighter fighting anyone, right?
00:30:10.000 Were deafening.
00:30:11.000 And then there was plenty of FJB, plenty of FJB chances.
00:30:15.000 They got to sell steak and protein shakes, not beer at UFC fights.
00:30:23.000 For years, I've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues, especially true if you're a Christian family.
00:30:28.000 For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I want to tell you about how Turning Point Academy is working with the Herzog Foundation, how you at home can also benefit from it.
00:30:38.000 They have an online publication called The Lion and also Making the Leap.
00:30:41.000 The Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your kids.
00:30:46.000 Go to Herzogfoundation.com.
00:30:48.000 That is Herzogfoundation.com.
00:30:50.000 So check it out right now, HerzogFoundation.com.
00:30:52.000 Portions of the Charlie Kirk show are brought to you in part by the Stanley M. Herzog Foundation.
00:30:57.000 That is Herzogfoundation.com.
00:31:01.000 So Benny, I'm going to ask you an unusual question.
00:31:03.000 What worries you the most coming into this November?
00:31:06.000 Kind of looking at a threat analysis on the landscape.
00:31:08.000 What is your biggest concern that might get in the way of a triumphant victory?
00:31:14.000 I had this conversation with somebody very high up on the Trump team this weekend.
00:31:18.000 Again, this weekend, we were at Trump Drow.
00:31:20.000 We were filming an episode for our Trump Cribs series where we're going to all the Trump properties and showing just how remarkable they are.
00:31:26.000 It makes me so angry what's happening to Trump in New York because I've actually been to these properties.
00:31:31.000 I know you have been to many of these properties as well, Charlie, and seen what a spectacular business this guy's built and what a what a national treasure that is because he's really preserved and created some amazing things.
00:31:42.000 I mean, the Trump Tower in Chicago is the best building in Chicago, period.
00:31:45.000 Just like just like as a rule.
00:31:49.000 And so we were there.
00:31:51.000 We were talking with some of the people in the orbit.
00:31:54.000 And the thing that the thing that I asked the same question and I agree with the answer.
00:32:01.000 It's Donald Trump's to lose, actually.
00:32:04.000 And I feel like they can be lost. 0.99
00:32:07.000 And I feel like what will create loss is apathy and people believing that we've already won because Joe Biden sucks so bad. 0.99
00:32:16.000 And because Joe Biden like obviously falls down the stairs and craps his pants and dribbles like applesauce down his face. 0.99
00:32:22.000 And he's got plastic hair and plastic teeth and a plastic face.
00:32:25.000 And we don't know which Joe Biden it is today.
00:32:27.000 And it's really hard to get that skin suit over the lizard every morning.
00:32:30.000 And, you know, it's tough.
00:32:31.000 But we see all these things and we say, you know, Joe Biden's done for.
00:32:35.000 And that's not true, right?
00:32:37.000 We are not fighting flesh and blood.
00:32:39.000 We are fighting spiritual battles.
00:32:41.000 And those spirit, like the spirit of evil resides inside of these people.
00:32:46.000 And what wouldn't they do for power?
00:32:48.000 I'll give you a really brief example that happened just a moment ago, probably 24 hours ago.
00:32:52.000 Joe Biden apologized to the murder of Lake and Riley.
00:32:55.000 He apologized to the murderer for calling the murder an illegal instead of a newcomer or a, you know, a chocolate dipped thick, you know, whatever, gumdrop smile person, whatever.
00:33:11.000 I don't know, whatever fabulous name they could come up with. 0.63
00:33:14.000 The new name for criminal, illegal aliens, which is what they actually are, criminal aliens in this nation.
00:33:20.000 So Joe Biden didn't use the correct term during the State of the Union, called him an illegal, went back to his factory resetting, his factory settings of 1998 Democrat and called him what he is.
00:33:31.000 And then he had to apologize.
00:33:33.000 So you have one party that's apologizing to murderers and illegal criminal aliens. 0.71
00:33:37.000 You have another party that says these people shouldn't be here in the first place and they're murdering Americans. 0.99
00:33:41.000 So they should be deported or the death penalty.
00:33:43.000 Vice presidential pick, Benny, who are, who's near, who's near the top of your list?
00:33:46.000 Who do you think could potentially be a mistake?
00:33:48.000 Katie Britt is being floated.
00:33:49.000 I don't think that would be, you know, having female Mitch McConnell would be a good idea. 1.00
00:33:54.000 Yeah, man, that was that.
00:33:56.000 I mean, I got on good, I have on good authority that Katie Britt was chosen because Mitch McConnell really hates Donald Trump and really loves his best, bestie, Joe Biden, as they destroy the country together.
00:34:06.000 And so she was chosen for the, for the reason that she would be a very weak and embarrassing and a parody of a response, the state of the union.
00:34:15.000 Why didn't they pick Vivek?
00:34:17.000 More details on that.
00:34:18.000 I'm sure you know, Charlie, that that was actually a name that was in contention and a name that was suggested by some very powerful people.
00:34:25.000 And that's what should have happened because Vivek sort of represents a youthful and very energetic and very America first vision of the future of this party.
00:34:36.000 I also think that's what would make him a great vice president.
00:34:38.000 A lot of people say Tucker Carlson would make a great vice president, but I think it's really about addition.
00:34:42.000 It's not about having a derivative Donald Trump.
00:34:45.000 It's about having somebody who brings more to the table and having somebody that brings like libertarians and the Elon, you know, the Silicon Valley wing also that also want freedom and Vivek does that.
00:34:59.000 And then who also brings maybe first generation immigrants, right?
00:35:01.000 I think Vivek does those things as well to the ticket.
00:35:06.000 And that's addition.
00:35:08.000 Presidential elections are about addition, not subtraction.
00:35:12.000 And I think Vivek is a big time, a big time ad.
00:35:15.000 So you like, you like Trump Ramaswamy.
