Speaker 4: It's a holiday.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we're all gearing up and it's.
Speaker 4: A good holiday.
Speaker 6: It's a I think of America's various real holidays, as
Speaker 6: well as junenteenth Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know the ones
Speaker 6: we really celebrate. I think Memorial Day is the most
Speaker 6: probably meaningful one, even more than Fourth of July, which
Speaker 6: Christ Oh. Yes, the civic holidays. I wish Easter was
Speaker 6: a US holiday.
Speaker 5: Well, okay, but it's a yeah, I get, I get
Speaker 5: what you mean. But as far as civic holidays, I do.
Speaker 5: I do agree with Memorial Day is a really powerful one.
Speaker 5: And I have a brother that serves and family members
Speaker 5: that serves, and I'm sure you've got that throughout your
Speaker 5: family and friends.
Speaker 2: So we all.
Speaker 5: Remember the fallen this weekend and listen, spend time with
Speaker 5: your family, enjoy the long weekend. There's gonna be massive
Speaker 5: celebrations in Washington, DC and around the country, of course,
Speaker 5: and I know that Real America's Voice is going to
Speaker 5: be covering all of that on Monday, all the parades
Speaker 5: and the wreath laying, So do check out this channel
Speaker 5: on Monday because it's gonna be great. And we're going
Speaker 5: to be having a Memorial Day special as well, which
Speaker 5: I think will immediately follow that, So check it all out.
Speaker 5: In the meantime, we got news to cover and I
Speaker 5: was taken by a release from Spencer Pratt. Okay, I've
Speaker 5: been watching that campaign very closely, and he's got a really,
Speaker 5: really fascinating and I think compelling plan to combat homelessness,
Speaker 5: which is I think one of the more intractable problems
Speaker 5: that many cities face and it's their own choice certainly.
Speaker 5: Here to help us unpack that right at the jump
Speaker 5: is Jason Rantz. He's host of The Jason rant Show
Speaker 5: on Seattle Red seven seventy up in Seattle. He's a
Speaker 5: West Coaster through and through and is just a glutton
Speaker 5: for punishment. He's also the author of the book What's
Speaker 5: Killing America. Jason, Welcome back to the show, my friend.
Speaker 5: Good to see you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 2: So you had homework.
Speaker 5: I said, you got to watch this video Spencer Pratt,
Speaker 5: because yes, Spencer Pratt is running a really remarkable campaign
Speaker 5: in many ways, and I'd love to just get your
Speaker 5: initial reaction to that. But he's using media in ways
Speaker 5: that nobody's done before.
Speaker 2: AI.
Speaker 5: You know, organic creators in LA, in the movie space
Speaker 5: are making their own Spencer Pratt campaign ads this So
Speaker 5: we'll get into the homeless piece, but just on the
Speaker 5: top of it, As a West Coast urban American, what's
Speaker 5: it like to see somebody like Spencer Pratt emerge on
Speaker 5: the scene and actually apparently have a legit, jitimate chance.
Speaker 5: Maybe he's not favored yet, but he could become mayor
Speaker 5: of LA.
Speaker 7: He could look he's gaining momentum, and he's doing it
Speaker 7: in a way that I think really reaches folks who
Speaker 7: don't normally pay attention to politics. There are a lot
Speaker 7: of folks and this is really the issue with Donald Trump,
Speaker 7: and even to another extent like zoron Mamdani, where they
Speaker 7: were able to speak to people and energize people who
Speaker 7: maybe don't normally vote. Now in one case didn't like
Speaker 7: that they were able to do that. But for President Trump,
Speaker 7: We're obviously a fan of him getting those folks to vote.
Speaker 7: And I think Spencer Pratt is really connecting with people
Speaker 7: who look at a lot of these issues and say
Speaker 7: they're not inherently political. When we're talking about public safety
Speaker 7: and homelessness, drug use on our streets. The average person,
Speaker 7: no matter how it is they vote, they don't look
Speaker 7: at this and say, well, that's a Democratic issue or
Speaker 7: that's a Republican issue. They just see it as common sense.
Speaker 7: And you know, Spencer Pratt is able to connect Republican
Speaker 7: policies with common sense approaches. And that's really why I'm
Speaker 7: so excited for what he's able to do.
Speaker 5: Jason, what you just said, I think is really the
Speaker 5: model for how conservatives let's just call him not even conservative,
Speaker 5: let's call him common sense Americans just call in in
Speaker 5: an urban environment, it's all local.
Speaker 2: It's all local.
Speaker 5: Actually, as a matter of fact, like as much as
Speaker 5: I love the President, the worst thing that could have
Speaker 5: happened to Spencer Pratt was President Trump going.
Speaker 2: I heard he's.
Speaker 5: Mega, you know, like it's like just leave him alone,
Speaker 5: let him let him cook, right, you know, And so
Speaker 5: I would just say, like what you said, I think
Speaker 5: is really really important because we've so many of our
Speaker 5: American cities you see this up close in Seattle, have
Speaker 5: gotten away from the bread and butter of just making
Speaker 5: the trains run on time, like cleaning up the filth,
Speaker 5: making sure people can walk the street safely. It's gotten
Speaker 5: so ideology ideological that they've lost sight of just basic
Speaker 5: common sense stuff. And I feel like that's the magic
Speaker 5: to the Spencer Pratt campaign. Yes he's charismatic, Yes he's
Speaker 5: good with media, Yes he's like a social media campaign,
Speaker 5: but it's getting back to the bread and butter stuff
Speaker 5: where common sense Americans are going like, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 7: You can put out a lot of really well produced
Speaker 7: videos AI or otherwise, but if they're not talking about
Speaker 7: the issues the way that people see them, it doesn't
Speaker 7: really matter. And that's what makes the most sense to
Speaker 7: explain why he's taking off the way that he has.
Speaker 7: It's because he's talking about issues that people see and
Speaker 7: experience every single day. He can get to the emotional
Speaker 7: arguments by simply saying to a parent, do you want
Speaker 7: to feel the way you do when you're walking in
Speaker 7: a park with your kid and you're seeing someone smoking
Speaker 7: fentanyl or using a playground as a toilet, and you
Speaker 7: don't have to lean into the emotion beyond just telling
Speaker 7: people what it is they're currently experiencing, and it allows
Speaker 7: them to get emotional on their own. And those are
Speaker 7: the best kinds of ads. He's obviously very clever, he
Speaker 7: is very charismatic in these in these pitches, but he's
Speaker 7: just he's talking about things the way the average person
Speaker 7: sees them, and that there's not a single person again,
Speaker 7: regardless of how they vote, who say who says to themselves? Yeah,
Speaker 7: I like the idea of going to a park has
Speaker 7: been completely taken over by the homeless. No one holds
Speaker 7: those positions except I guess radicals on the left.
Speaker 2: I totally agree.
Speaker 5: And you know, it's interesting, so much of our modern
Speaker 5: political discourse between left and right just feels like, are
Speaker 5: you for the third World? Are you for the first World?
Speaker 5: Do you want America to look like a first World
Speaker 5: country or a third World country? I mean, and you've
Speaker 5: got in your city, you've got a socialist mayor that
Speaker 5: just basically called on everybody to boycott's Starbucks like one
Speaker 5: of the established corporate entities. The heartbeat of the city.
Speaker 5: You drive pass downtown South of downtown. You see that
Speaker 5: h Q right there with the with the logo on it.
Speaker 5: She's calling to boycott. Start now she's walking that back now.
Speaker 4: She it did more harm than good. Imagine that.
Speaker 2: Truly remarkable.
Speaker 5: And I want to I want to play this Spencer
Speaker 5: pratt uh mashup if we have it loaded, and then
Speaker 5: I want to get your reaction on the other other side.
Speaker 5: I don't know if we're going to get it in
Speaker 5: time here. Uh oh it is, it's loaded as to.
Speaker 5: Let's go ahead and run it, Jason Rant and your
Speaker 5: reaction on the other side.
Speaker 8: Los Angeles doesn't have a homeless problem. We have a
Speaker 8: drug problem. Treat medical teams administer narcan to reverse opioid overdoses.
Speaker 8: It blocks the opioid receptors in the brain, so the
Speaker 8: attic could shoot up as much heroin as they want.
Speaker 9: It won't do a thing.
Speaker 8: The problem is narcan only lasts for a day or two,
Speaker 8: and it doesn't break the addiction cycle. There is a
Speaker 8: longer lasting anti narcotic drug called vivitrol that does what
Speaker 8: narcan does, but it lasts for thirty days, giving a
Speaker 8: much better chance of breaking the addiction.
Speaker 9: The problem is the attic must.
Speaker 8: Be sober from seven to fourteen days before it can
Speaker 8: be administered. So we have this donut hole between the
Speaker 8: forty eight hours of protection with the narcan and the
Speaker 8: two weeks of sobriety needed to administer the vivitrol. Step one,
Speaker 8: break the cycle. No more distribution of drug paraphernalia. Karen
Speaker 8: Bass and Nitthya Rahman currently pay NGO's millions of dollars
Speaker 8: to increase drug usage and profit up the misery of.
Speaker 9: These drug addicts.
Speaker 8: I'm putting an end to this profiteering.
Speaker 2: Step two.
Speaker 8: We have the laws, we just need to use them.
Speaker 8: Step three and the body brokering. Many of the attics
Speaker 8: you see around your neighborhood are bussed in from other
Speaker 8: states in order for local NGOs to profit off their addiction.
Speaker 8: Step four, bring in the DEA. We have international cartels
Speaker 8: operating in the open on our streets. Step five. A
Speaker 8: modern treatment facility. I've already made plans with several high
Speaker 8: profile developers who want to donate resources to build a large,
Speaker 8: modern and safe campus where we can administer rehab outside
Speaker 8: of our residential neighborhoods.
Speaker 5: All right, Jason, So the five points just to reiterate them.
Speaker 5: Break the cycle. So stop distributing drug paraphernalia. No more
Speaker 5: free needles or crack pipes. Uphold the law. So place
Speaker 5: the listit drug users on a five to one to
Speaker 5: fifty hole for seventy two hours. It's involuntary. It's a
Speaker 5: psychiatric hold. Step three, stop boat body brokers. These are
Speaker 5: the NGOs that Blake and I rail against basically every
Speaker 5: day on this show, that are we think ruining America.
Speaker 5: They're fleecing the taxpayers, getting rich on it.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 5: Bring in the DEA that's target international drug cartels in
Speaker 5: the streets, and then build modern treatments facilities outside of
Speaker 5: residential communities so they don't bear the brunt of having
Speaker 5: a bunch of like homeless crackheads want around the schools
Speaker 5: in the parks. Okay, so he's got a whole plan
Speaker 5: to build those outside. What do you make of this
Speaker 5: five point plant?
Speaker 7: Jason Rants is brilliant for one simple reason. The left
Speaker 7: oftentimes talk about how we have to get innovative and
Speaker 7: all these None of what he just said is innovative.
Speaker 7: It's just basic stuff that's common sense. Is doing what
Speaker 7: every single person knows needs to be done, Like let's
Speaker 7: not hand out crack pipes. I know that that is
Speaker 7: crazy that how dare someone actually say that? But that's
Speaker 7: literally what's going on.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 7: Last year I went to the King County, Seattle Public
Speaker 7: Health office and I went in and I got a
Speaker 7: whole bunch of drug materials, drug paraphernalia. I got a
Speaker 7: crack pipe, I was given tinfoil to smoke fentanyl, all
Speaker 7: these different things. Perhaps we should stop giving that out
Speaker 7: to drug addicts and we should actually treat them. This
Speaker 7: whole idea that we should be handing out in narcan
Speaker 7: not because they want to get people into treatment, but
Speaker 7: so that they can continue to use without dying from
Speaker 7: an overdose. They like to say all the time that
Speaker 7: we don't want to stigmatize drug addiction. I do want
Speaker 7: to stigmatize drug use, simple as that. I want to
Speaker 7: stigmatize that because it's going to kill these people. And
Speaker 7: I would rather have someone harmed quote unquote because they
Speaker 7: had their feelings hurt, that we call them out for
Speaker 7: being a drug user, that have them die on our streets.
Speaker 7: And so everything that he is proposing there is going
Speaker 7: to be seen as controversial to the folks who make
Speaker 7: a whole lot of money when you've got drug addicts
Speaker 7: on our streets, that there's this a homeless industrial complex
Speaker 7: that is real, that exists, and they're the ones who
Speaker 7: are pushing the harm reduction model. For those of the
Speaker 7: don't know, harm reduction is essentially a strategy, they say,
Speaker 7: to reduce the harm of illicit substance abuse so that
Speaker 7: you can get someone into treatment.
Speaker 9: The problem.
Speaker 7: Of course, on paper that sounds great. In reality, they
Speaker 7: never get anyone into treatment. They don't push treatment, They
Speaker 7: simply push making it quote unquote safer to continue to
Speaker 7: use drugs because they don't want to stigmatize the drug user.
Speaker 7: It is a failed policy and it's exactly why we're
Speaker 7: seeing the crisis on the ground as bad as we're
Speaker 7: seeing it across the country.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the third worlding of the United States starts with
Speaker 5: allowing chaos, drug use, crime, filth to reign supreme. And
Speaker 5: if you look at just spending totals, you would think
Speaker 5: that the Democrats really do care, because they do throw
Speaker 5: a lot of money out.
Speaker 4: I assure you they care.
Speaker 6: They care because as you said, the homeless industrial complex,
Speaker 6: like last year Los Angeles, they paid it.
Speaker 4: They spent about four hundred and eighteen million.
Speaker 6: Dollars on stuff that you'd say is homeless related. Well,
Speaker 6: you just run the numbers by the addicts, that's something
Speaker 6: like fifteen twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: It's the homeless person, it depends.
Speaker 6: You can take it over long times and all the
Speaker 6: stuff that and do it billions, certainly billions if you
Speaker 6: include what the hospitals have to pay for it, what
Speaker 6: a lot of institutions end up shelling out, but just
Speaker 6: the government there, and that money is obviously not going
Speaker 6: to the homeless individuals. It's going to these NGOs that
Speaker 6: are fighting homelessness. I'd be tempted to add a sixth
Speaker 6: point to this, which he probably won't, but a six
Speaker 6: point friend in homelessness might as well be cut anti
Speaker 6: homelessness spending to zero. You can have law enforcement budget,
Speaker 6: you can have drug enforcement budget, you can have treatment
Speaker 6: centers for people who addicted, but anything that's going to
Speaker 6: be branded as fighting homelessness.
Speaker 4: I would posit that there is a direct relationship.
Speaker 6: The more you spend on fighting homelessness, the more homeless
Speaker 6: people you have. You are funding an apparatus of parasitic
Speaker 6: individuals who don't want to end homelessness, who want to
Speaker 6: enable all of those suicidal behaviors. La Is spent over
Speaker 6: the past decades billions of dollars fighting homelessness.
Speaker 4: What's the result.
Speaker 6: They have sixty thousand homeless people in LA County, six
Speaker 6: forty thousand in Los Angeles itself. That would be the
Speaker 6: I think that would be the second largest city in
Speaker 6: the state.
Speaker 5: I'm from South Dakota. So what's interesting though, is his tone.
Speaker 5: He's saying, you would never do this to your son
Speaker 5: or daughter, You would never do this to a family member,
Speaker 5: you would never enable their addiction. And he's saying, guess what,
Speaker 5: We're going to use the laws on the books to
Speaker 5: mandate like these arrests. Basically, he's saying that the laws
Speaker 5: aren't exists where we can take these people off the streets,
Speaker 5: force them to get clean, use these better drugs to
Speaker 5: force you know that they don't relapse. But we're not
Speaker 5: doing that right now. It calls it a donut hole.
Speaker 5: So it's compassion with practical you know, accountability and application
Speaker 5: of the current laws.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be reality? When's the thing?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't really have to do anything beyond what
Speaker 7: you can do right now. But you're choosing not to.
Speaker 7: Arguably the only thing you need to do is maybe
Speaker 7: put some more resources into detox facilities, because unfortunately they
Speaker 7: have chosen not to do that up until this point.
Speaker 7: But you've got all the laws on the books that
Speaker 7: you need. You just need enforcement. You need actual enforcement.
Speaker 7: And oftentimes, you know, every once in a while, they'll
Speaker 7: be like a sweep of some homeless encampment, whether it's
Speaker 7: la or Seattle or anywhere else. But you're not pushing
Speaker 7: them into treatment. You're just pushing them literally in some cases,
Speaker 7: across the street for them to reset a new camp.
Speaker 7: And then you say, oh, look we've made our contact,
Speaker 7: we've offered them resources, but they're not going to take
Speaker 7: you up on your resources. If you make it so
Speaker 7: easy to continue to be a homeless drug addict, you
Speaker 7: actually have to have a carrot and stick approach. In
Speaker 7: every single jurisdiction that has done that, and that includes
Speaker 7: San Diego, in some cases, Austin, Marysville, Washington, they actually
Speaker 7: take a harder line approach to this and they see
Speaker 7: actual data. Orange County is another great example. If you
Speaker 7: are right now in this nonprofit space and you're working
Speaker 7: with the homeless and you're getting these big contracts. I'm
Speaker 7: okay with nonprofits getting the contracts. You actually have to
Speaker 7: show that you have results, and so if you've been
Speaker 7: in charge this entire time and homelessness has gotten worse,
Speaker 7: you do not get to continue cashing those checks. I
Speaker 7: want these groups to understand they need to put themselves
Speaker 7: out of business. But you've got a lot of groups
Speaker 7: that continue to get a whole lot of money because
Speaker 7: they know that homelessness doesn't have to get better under
Speaker 7: their watch. They have job security. I want to take
Speaker 7: away that job security. And the most dedicated people are
Speaker 7: the ones who know that they're going to try to
Speaker 7: put themselves out of work when they approach homelessness with
Speaker 7: the actual end goal of ending it.
Speaker 5: Well, listen, I think Spencer pratz arun in a great campaign, Jason.
Speaker 5: Check them out at seattlered dot com. Keep up the
Speaker 5: good fight, my friends. We've all been told to eat

Speaker 5: lot of processed stuff. We've added if nutrition feels overwhelming,
Speaker 5: it helps to take a step back and zoom out.

Speaker 5: Rich Bars Big Data Pole. He's also the author of
Speaker 5: the book Burn It Down, which is quite the title,
Speaker 5: But Rich, you've been doing okay, So I wanted to
Speaker 5: have you on this show because there's been so much
Speaker 5: made of this Massy fight and you've been kind of
Speaker 5: waving the banner out there saying increasingly there is this
Speaker 5: disconnect between America First and MAGA, those who identify as
Speaker 5: America First versus MAGA. Now I have a perspective on
Speaker 5: this and what's really happening, but I want to.
Speaker 2: I want to pick your brain.
Speaker 5: What do you think is driving more and more people
Speaker 5: identifying as America First as opposed to MAGA.
Speaker 9: Well, Andrew and has always thanks for having me on.
Speaker 9: I think the I think the Massy defeat settled a
Speaker 9: lot of this for me and what's going on. Look,
Speaker 9: I think that MAGA has changed, and you know, who
Speaker 9: identifies as MAGA has changed. In the case of Thomas Massey,
Speaker 9: that was that was a problem for him because they
Speaker 9: changed into older white voters who tend to vote at
Speaker 9: higher rates and primaries. And if you are still wanting,
Speaker 9: if you're not a traditional Republican and you lean to
Speaker 9: the right, you may be mad and upset about some
Speaker 9: things that have been going on. So when you get
Speaker 9: the chance, you'll identify as America first instead, and I
Speaker 9: think that is an issue for the Republican Party. A
Speaker 9: midterm was always going to be tough. And Andrew, we talked
Speaker 9: so much in twenty four about the low prop voters.
Speaker 9: Getting these low proposition voters out. Propensity voters out and
Speaker 9: under forty five millennials and down were so key to
Speaker 9: Donald Trump winning and that was always going to be
Speaker 9: a challenge.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is what I want to get into here.
Speaker 5: Okay, because yeah, I texted you and we talked a
Speaker 5: little bit, and I said, I'm tempted Rich to say
Speaker 5: you were wrong about massive.
Speaker 2: You're like, I wasn't wrong.
Speaker 11: Ed.
Speaker 5: I mean no, but okay, because you had it at
Speaker 5: about fifty to fifty. To be fair, you it either way.
Speaker 5: But what happened that surprised you in that race?
Speaker 9: Okay, So this is why I called it at fifty
Speaker 9: to fifty. Even though any posters pulled Republican primaries knows
Speaker 9: that you should drop out younger people and make sure
Speaker 9: the old electorate. Why we didn't do that, It was
Speaker 9: the entire point is because Kentucky four is filled with
Speaker 9: young voters who do vote in primaries. They have vote history,
Speaker 9: so we gave them the benefit of the doubt and
Speaker 9: kept them in there. All right. So it goes to
Speaker 9: what I'm what I'm saying here. I guess it I
Speaker 9: was wrong because the problem with young voters is worse
Speaker 9: than I thought it was, which isn't what people want
Speaker 9: to hear. But we have seen this in other races,
Speaker 9: and it's why I was, you know, telling my people
Speaker 9: as we were doing the poll and doing the videos,
Speaker 9: I was really reluctant, like I was pretty certain that
Speaker 9: that would you know that this would be my first miss,
Speaker 9: because it is my first miss, all right.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just going to make sure I'm translating
Speaker 5: it for the layman at home. So you were looking
Speaker 5: at the numbers, and we saw this that every group
Speaker 5: under sixty five favored Massy significantly, like it wasn't even close.
Speaker 5: Actually over sixty five that you could call them the
Speaker 5: boomer cons, you can call the fox cons, whatever you
Speaker 5: want to call them. They that group favored Galleran by
Speaker 5: like a sizeable margin. It was like a tale of
Speaker 5: two of two electrics. It was over sixty five and
Speaker 5: under sixty five. You're saying, what happened was you were
Speaker 5: including in your poll predictions that the younger voters were
Speaker 5: going to turn out in something similar to what we
Speaker 5: saw in the mid term. Because Massy had great appeal
Speaker 5: with young people, you figured that Massy would be enough
Speaker 5: to overcome the nihilism, but he wasn't. They still didn't
Speaker 5: turn up and turn out for this primary. And why
Speaker 5: do you think they didn't show up? So, and what
Speaker 5: ended up happening was over sixty five over indexed. They
Speaker 5: punched above it. Wait twenty points.
Speaker 9: Twenty points guys, So they're twenty five of registered Republicans
Speaker 9: sixty five and above, they're gonna come in at forty
Speaker 9: five percent. Uh. The Generation X and this was the
Speaker 9: Trump people that they do this this like mo and
Speaker 9: they're very good at it. They target specifically that sixty
Speaker 9: two and above. And then if they're hitting gen X,
Speaker 9: it's low propensity gen X that they know are loyal
Speaker 9: to the president. So, and I mean on the older
Speaker 9: end of that guy is so like the fifty five
Speaker 9: to sixty one, right, So they nailed it, and they
Speaker 9: did incredible. So even getting that side of gen X out.
Speaker 9: See you can even see this there. Even gen X
Speaker 9: supported Massey slightly. But what I think we're going to
Speaker 9: learn that they probably slightly supported Goulrin because the Trump
Speaker 9: campaign did such a good job getting out just their
Speaker 9: gen xers. And this is the risk I took, Brother,
Speaker 9: This was the risk I took thirty five million dollars
Speaker 9: almost like let's call it thirty two uh spent in
Speaker 9: a primary, which is ungodly. Sometimes when you're doing that,
Speaker 9: it can backfire and you target those ads to the
Speaker 9: old Fox boomer Cohn. But because the race gets so
Speaker 9: much national attention, it ends up backfiring and you wind
Speaker 9: up driving higher turnout up Anyway, the eighteen to twenty
Speaker 9: nine's we all or five percent of the vote they're
Speaker 9: gonna fall to like to Andrew, I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 9: So they are normally eight percent in a Republican primary.
Speaker 5: That's the eighteen or twenty nine in that race was
Speaker 5: an eighty twenty split. It's a eighty percent in favor
Speaker 5: of Massy, twenty percent for Golrin. YEA, yeah, you're telling
Speaker 5: me they're gonna come. They're only gonna count for two
Speaker 5: percent of the primary electorate.
Speaker 9: There, I'm telling I'm telling you, when all this is
Speaker 9: said and done, they're usually six to eight and in
Speaker 9: some cases could rise as high as ten. They make
Speaker 9: up fourteen percent of the overall registered vote, but they
Speaker 9: did not vote. It's and thirty to forty four, they're
Speaker 9: like twenty three and I guess I bet you they
Speaker 9: come in at like eleven.
Speaker 5: And sorry, I don't mean to talk over you, Rich.
Speaker 5: I'm just so fast that this topic so obviously at
Speaker 5: turning point, that's what we're focused on, the young people.
Speaker 2: And I've been warning people.
Speaker 5: I've been trying to like shape people, saying like, we've
Speaker 5: got nihilism setting setting it. Yeah, it's not that A
Speaker 5: lot of it's not that it's not our kids. It's
Speaker 5: the kids that are interacting with it tabling, right, It's
Speaker 5: the kids that come up to their booth and they
Speaker 5: go defend Epstein, defend the Iran war, and it's like
Speaker 5: it's like you're talking to a wall. So my point
Speaker 5: is like the larger gen Z electorate, is is it
Speaker 5: just that you're seeing that they opt out and you
Speaker 5: you were actually a little bit more optimistic. You're like, hey,
Speaker 5: they still believe because it's massy.
Speaker 2: Is it so massy? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is it so nihilistic? Is it so black pilled that
Speaker 5: they're just like screw it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think that guys, this primary answered
Speaker 9: that there was one hundred and five thousand votes sixty
Speaker 9: five plus is is gonna end up being you know,
Speaker 9: a ridiculous share of that. There are only seventy two
Speaker 9: thousand of them registered in that district. They voted at
Speaker 9: extremely high rates, and people under forty five did not.
Speaker 9: I mean, if they're not gonna come out for mass see,
Speaker 9: we have a huge problem. And this is not something
Speaker 9: that hasn't happened elsewhere. We've actually seen this in primaries
Speaker 9: and in specials now for the last two almost going on.
Speaker 5: It's gonna hear yeah, Rich, what about like Indiana primaries
Speaker 5: where where we got rid of all those those the
Speaker 5: rhinos like, is the same thing there? What about the
Speaker 5: what about the Paxton Cornyn Wesley Hunt?
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, I mean meaning old they It wasn't a
Speaker 9: terrible turnout for Republicans. And this is what I was
Speaker 9: trying to explain to people when I saw that Democrats
Speaker 9: out voted Republicans in Texas. It's not that it was
Speaker 9: a terrible, normal primary turnout in Texas for Republicans. It
Speaker 9: was terrible compared to what we knew we needed to
Speaker 9: do with the coalition. After twenty four there were challenges like,
Speaker 9: you can't going along to get along without Donald Trump
Speaker 9: on the ballad is not going to work. We have
Speaker 9: to start to see evidence that without Trump on the ballad,
Speaker 9: these younger people still come out, these non white people
Speaker 9: still vote. They're not. I mean, it would give you
Speaker 9: this stat before because why race matters too, because the
Speaker 9: younger and you guys know this, you know, older America
Speaker 9: is whiter, Younger America is less white. So when you
Speaker 9: see in twenty four, forty two percent of Hispanics in
Speaker 9: Georgia pulled Democratic ballads. Now compared to the last Tuesday,
Speaker 9: seventy five percent of Hispanics put coupled on top of
Speaker 9: New Jersey which we saw this too, coupled on top
Speaker 9: of Texas, which we got blown out in Trump's Hispanic
Speaker 9: southern Texas counties. This is a massive problem. You can't
Speaker 9: drive with white way men.
Speaker 2: What's what's driving again?
Speaker 9: What they wanted domestic agenda? Andrew they wanted a domestic agenda.
Speaker 9: And it's funny because we did this huge study immigration
Speaker 9: out and dealing with ice even long before it became
Speaker 9: news headlines and they weren't happy, and they wanted some
Speaker 9: things changed. But immediately the conventional wisdom so, well, it's
Speaker 9: because of how we were deporting people, And it's not.
Speaker 9: If we changed a few things on how deportations were
Speaker 9: being handled, they would have been perfectly fine with it.
Speaker 9: They still majority support deep mass deportations. Hispanic Americans, guys,
Speaker 9: they still majority support it. It's just that they felt
Speaker 9: that this administration after three maybe five months, just completely
Speaker 9: gave up on the domestic agenda. I mean, there's no
Speaker 9: I can't glaze it, you know, like that, that's it.
Speaker 5: They want to talk about affordability, economic affordability.
Speaker 2: Yep, so do you think.
Speaker 5: I mean, the breaking news today is that Walsh is
Speaker 5: taking over it as FED chairman. Trump's promising that he's gonna,
Speaker 5: you know, super growth of the economy, new POV, getting
Speaker 5: rid of Jerome Powell. I mean, those are the right
Speaker 5: messaging notes to hit that, you know, change is coming,
Speaker 5: a regime change at the FED. Maybe we can supercharge
Speaker 5: some growth. These happened soon, though, These happened soon.
Speaker 9: Really eight hours late, you know, it's May twenty second,
Speaker 9: the hours late.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree, Rich, I don't disagree.
Speaker 5: You know what's crazy here, Rich, I'm just saying in
Speaker 5: this I guess this new Fox News poll, eighteen to
Speaker 5: twenty nine year olds are minus nineteen on border security
Speaker 5: being better now than under Biden. Yeah, what the heck
Speaker 5: do you make of that?
Speaker 2: Like, that's like, that's just anger. That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 9: It doesn't. And honestly, our registered voter economic confidence index
Speaker 9: I saw it with others I think was gallop and
Speaker 9: the consumer sentiment Index. We know for a fact the
Speaker 9: border is better under Donald Trump. We know for a
Speaker 9: fact that certain economic indicators, including inflation, is better under
Speaker 9: Donald Trump. It's maybe not great, it's not what they
Speaker 9: want to see, but we know it's better. I mean,
Speaker 9: it was a period in twenty twenty two. I believe
Speaker 9: it was May of twenty two when we shot up
Speaker 9: to nearly ten percent on one month for inflation. So
Speaker 9: this is anger. This is because Joe binding about Joe
Speaker 9: Biden didn't run on putting America first and putting affordabil first,
Speaker 9: and you know, fixing the economy, going back to the
Speaker 9: pre COVID economy, which is an unfair expectation of Donald
Speaker 9: Trump to just come in and wave like this magic
Speaker 9: wand and put it back to a pre COVID economy.
Speaker 9: COVID structurally damaged our economy. So I feel like that
Speaker 9: was an unfair expectation. But as the job of a campaign,
Speaker 9: and then as a White House's job, you know, from
Speaker 9: a messaging point of view, that's your job to frame
Speaker 9: that correctly so people understand that and don't hold too
Speaker 9: high of expectations of you. And they haven't done that.
Speaker 9: But this is just because they listen, guys, I said
Speaker 9: this the other night, and it I didn't. It stuck,
Speaker 9: and I hope it did. We need to start to
Speaker 9: appreciate the level of despair and desperation almost that a
Speaker 9: lot of these younger voters had and took with them
Speaker 9: to go vote for Donald Trump and JD.
Speaker 2: Vance.
Speaker 9: A lot of these voters, especially under forty five, felt like,
Speaker 9: these guys, this ticket was the last chance at riding
Speaker 9: the ship renewing American prosperity and getting their American dream back.
Speaker 9: And they feel like their inheritance has been squandered by
Speaker 9: a selfish older generation and a ruling class who does
Speaker 9: it at their expense, and they're they're pissed, they're mad.
Speaker 4: I mean it's not.
Speaker 12: I mean that's I have tried now for months to
Speaker 12: try to get people to understand and try to get
Speaker 12: people to see and now, unfortunately we're starting to see
Speaker 12: the we're bearing the fruits of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, you've got a new polling out, Rich, out of Minnesota,
Speaker 5: which I think is interesting because you got this huge
Speaker 5: DOJ crackdown, you got the task Force hitting fraud, You've
Speaker 5: got all this kind of stuff going on, and you
Speaker 5: have a new poll here.
Speaker 2: Yet we just threw it up. What are we looking
Speaker 2: at here?
Speaker 5: Because you're pulling governor of Minnesota, which is an interesting
Speaker 5: the interesting thing for you to pull, Rich.
Speaker 9: It is I love pulling Minnesota. For those who have
Speaker 9: followed me for a long time, it is my great
Speaker 9: white whale. I have forever thought that Donald Trump was
Speaker 9: like the perfect candidate for on the Republican side to
Speaker 9: win the state of Minnesota. And I actually think that
Speaker 9: there are some potential bright spots in Minnesota in the midterms.
Speaker 9: You know where Republicans are looking around the map wondering
Speaker 9: where can we make gains. Well, you have a perfect
Speaker 9: narrative brewing for the governor of Minnesota. We did pull this,
Speaker 9: you know, to see where you know, Mike was Mike
Speaker 9: Lindell leads Lisadmouth, which is incredible. Lisa is the speaker,
Speaker 9: the Minnesota Speaker of the House of Representatives. And why
Speaker 9: does Mike Lindell lead her? Because the base is looking
Speaker 9: for a fight. They want a fight, and I think
Speaker 9: that's what it comes down to. They know Mike is,
Speaker 9: you know, outspoken, and they want somebody to stand up.
Speaker 5: So you're you're telling me, you're telling me the pillow guy,
Speaker 5: Mike Lindelle, my pillow is So I've okay, So just
Speaker 5: devil's advocate here, Rich, I've seen and by the way,
Speaker 5: we love Mike and Mike's Mike's a great fighter and
Speaker 5: a friend, no disrespect. I I just hadn't paid attention
Speaker 5: to this race yet, and you were telling me you
Speaker 5: got to look at it. I have seen some polls
Speaker 5: that have Mike down in the Yeah, so there are
Speaker 5: some that show him maybe running second or third place.
Speaker 5: Do you so you're your this is brand new off
Speaker 5: the off the press though, right.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that we came out of the field on the
Speaker 9: twentieth with this, you know, I mean, look it's too
Speaker 9: you know, it was tighter maybe than Nike's I honestly
Speaker 9: expected him to be running away with na I d
Speaker 9: But he's not the mic my pillow guy. Uh, he's
Speaker 9: the mic for election fraud fighter in the minds of
Speaker 9: a lot of Republicans. Yeah, you know Lisa leeds in
Speaker 9: And that's that's interesting you say that, because I do
Speaker 9: know somebody else that pulled it too, and also had
Speaker 9: Lindella up by by a little bit more than us.
Speaker 9: But yeah, you know, we're two points.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, what happens in a state like Minnesota. I mean,
Speaker 5: and I agree with you. The reason I wanted to
Speaker 5: go into this with you is because you got all
Speaker 5: this fraud tim wats against backs against the wall.
Speaker 2: People are fed up with it.
Speaker 5: It's become ground zero for so much of the left
Speaker 5: v Right fight in this country. The third worlding of
Speaker 5: America is like, you know, little Mogadishu is Minneapolis, Right,
Speaker 5: So you're kind of asking yourself, is this like one
Speaker 5: of these weird Trojan horde? Is this like a dark
Speaker 5: horse rather that that could kind of come out of
Speaker 5: the left field and surprise us come November? What happens
Speaker 5: with Trump's endorsement in a state like Minnesota.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and let me just before. With the endorsement, this
Speaker 9: race is over. I mean, Lindell takes like a twenty
Speaker 9: point lead. It's interesting you just brought up the Twin Cities.
Speaker 9: You know, Lisa leeds in the Twin Cities and Mike
Speaker 9: leads everywhere else. It's not like super super you know,
Speaker 9: blowout towards. There's a lot of votes even on the
Speaker 9: Republican primary, there's a lot of votes in the Twin
Speaker 9: Cities and Twin City urbs. But that goes to show you,
Speaker 9: you know, I mean, it's typical establishment support for an
Speaker 9: establishment candidate in and around the Twin City area and
Speaker 9: then everywhere else east, Central, the South, and north. Lindell leads.
Speaker 9: With Trump's endorsement. Yeah, I did give the I mean,
Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys got it. But with
Speaker 9: Trump's endorsement, what I noticed is that it's not just
Speaker 9: that some other candidates lose support. It's that the undecided
Speaker 9: really do shrink. They they they're cut in half. There's
Speaker 9: still a lot of undecideds in this race, a lot,
Speaker 9: and with Donald Trump coming out and giving his endorsement
Speaker 9: to Lindell, it blows it out of the water. Interestingly enough,
Speaker 9: and we didn't put it out yet. Interestingly enough, it
Speaker 9: doesn't really help other candidates.
Speaker 5: So of course it does. Itch just we got the
Speaker 5: graph right. So this is actually with Trump's endorsement. So
Speaker 5: if you did like before and after, you see they're
Speaker 5: relatively close. Trump's endorsement holds a lot of weight in
Speaker 5: this vie.
Speaker 2: It looks like it does.
Speaker 9: And there are a lot of Republicans in Minnesota who
Speaker 9: are Trump Republicans, which is weird because you think of
Speaker 9: Minnesota and you guys remember Bobby's world, don't you know Bobby? Right,
Speaker 9: Minnesota nice almost like Wisconsin. Dy's kind of thing. They
Speaker 9: they you know, there's two there really are two report
Speaker 9: Plican parties in Minnesota. There's the one that's been there,
Speaker 9: you know, the Senator Coleman, right, remember Norm there's that.
Speaker 9: There's that side of the Republican Party that Tim Oh
Speaker 9: my goodness, I'm sorry, Tim, I'm forgetting your last name.
Speaker 9: Welenti what was his name? You remember he's the governor
Speaker 9: for years and he ran but he wound up going down.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tim Paulentill, Tim plenty I was a great hope
Speaker 6: of twenty twelve until you know, the straw pol and
Speaker 6: no one had heard of Tim Polenti.
Speaker 9: That's it. And and then you have the new era,
Speaker 9: which is interesting because again this is a perfect prime prime.
Speaker 9: I think it's primed the state of Minnesota. You have
Speaker 9: hundreds of thousands of Trump voters who are difficult to
Speaker 9: get out in a mid term, and if Republicans did
Speaker 9: ever focus on getting them mount those are Trump like
Speaker 9: Republicans in Minnesota, then they would win. If they would
Speaker 9: pay more attention to this state. Guys, they may be
Speaker 9: pleasantly surprised. Twenty sixteen was a hair even twenty four
Speaker 9: got much closer. It's not a state that I think
Speaker 9: republic should get.
Speaker 5: Fascinating Pole. I do agree it could be a dark horse.
Speaker 5: We should pay more attention to it. Rich Bears bigs
Speaker 5: out of Pole, the People's Pundit. Thanks my friend, We'll

Speaker 5: did it last night.
Speaker 2: We put it on the podcast on Saturdays.
Speaker 5: We had a whole conversation about America two fifty and
Speaker 5: how there was a perception that maybe the response the
Speaker 5: celebration is more muted than the bi centennial in nineteen
Speaker 5: seventy six, where it seemed to take over the whole country.
Speaker 2: I am not black on.
Speaker 5: The two point fifty. I think it's going to be great.
Speaker 5: I think we're just getting into the swing of things.
Speaker 5: Memorial Day really is the kickoff. So that's hopefully you
Speaker 5: know where we're at. But anyway, send your questions in
Speaker 5: join us members dot Charliekirk dot com. You can join
Speaker 5: us on this call. Do we have what's our first question? Danny? David, David,
Speaker 5: Welcome to the Charlie Kirkshow mute yourself and what's your question?
Speaker 15: My question is, first of all, thanks for what you do.
Speaker 15: My question is you talked about I wanted to know
Speaker 15: a little bit more about the Thomas Massey loss and
Speaker 15: what's your what's your thoughts on that?
Speaker 5: I got so many thoughts. You know, it's interesting, David.
Speaker 5: I've been accused. I think the organization has been accused.
Speaker 5: Eric has been accused of betraying Charlie by not coming
Speaker 5: out and endorsing one way or the other and not
Speaker 5: being more involved.
Speaker 2: In that race.
Speaker 5: I will tell you, and I haven't said this publicly,
Speaker 5: but the and I know, this isn't necessary a question,
Speaker 5: but it's an opportunity to address it. But you know,
Speaker 5: after the one Big Beautiful Bill vote, you know, and
Speaker 5: I want to.
Speaker 2: Respect Charlie's privacy as well.
Speaker 5: It's always the tension and all of this, you know,
Speaker 5: there's private conversations. Charlie was a fan of Thomas Massey
Speaker 5: especially historically. Liked him on war, liked him on budget,
Speaker 5: being a budget hawk and spending. But he was pretty
Speaker 5: frustrated that Massey didn't vote on in the affirmative on
Speaker 5: the Big Beautiful Bill because it was essentially the totality
Speaker 5: of President Trump's first year agenda wrapped into one bill.
Speaker 5: And I will just say privately, Charlie was really really frustrated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's the right way to put it.
Speaker 6: And I think he would have become more frustrated over
Speaker 6: the events of the past nine months, which is we
Speaker 6: lucked what MASSI said. We liked his libertarian credentials, liked
Speaker 6: him making the debt clock that ran on, and there's
Speaker 6: so many things too like about him. But he has,
Speaker 6: especially over the past few months, he's become the number one,
Speaker 6: let's put it, republic can gadfly Republican who gets on
Speaker 6: Trump's way criticizes Trump, and not just on debt or
Speaker 6: the war, but also on Epstein saying where there's this
Speaker 6: pedophile class that Trump is allied to, essentially, And I
Speaker 6: think Charlie would have been, as you said, very frustrated.
Speaker 6: He would have, And Charlie was not a guy who
Speaker 6: would feud publicly. He would have certainly been messaging Massy
Speaker 6: about that and being like, what's going on here?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he would have. He would have been very
Speaker 4: concerned with it. But we don't know exactly what he'd say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's the US being honest about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I will tell you that I had some
Speaker 5: very candid conversations after the big beautiful Bill that where
Speaker 5: he voiced his frustration to me privately. I think you
Speaker 5: know that the big concern with the Massy vote is
Speaker 5: the breakdown in generations. We just had Rich Barrison and
Speaker 5: we were talking about it. What you saw was anybody
Speaker 5: under sixty five supported Thomas Massey, but they didn't show up,
Speaker 5: And so that's a huge, huge issue. And in our
Speaker 5: position sometimes we are sometimes our role is to be
Speaker 5: the voice of the gen Z voter.
Speaker 2: Eighteen to twenty nine.
Speaker 5: And sometimes our role is to try and encourage them
Speaker 5: in a better way of thinking, right, And so sometimes
Speaker 5: sometimes we're out here saying, hey, they've got a really
Speaker 5: good point, and it is the affordability crisis really hard.
Speaker 5: They're not economic incumbents. They don't have a leg up,
Speaker 5: they don't have their securities, they don't have their stocks
Speaker 5: and bonds and their properties. So you got to find
Speaker 5: a way to help them get into the get their
Speaker 5: foot in the door.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a valid critique.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's where we get to be the voice of
Speaker 5: gen Z and sort of try and make their voice louder,
Speaker 5: make people in power understand and listen and acknowledge it.
Speaker 5: When it comes to Epstein and I'm open and listen,
Speaker 5: I've been a little bit more in the Me and
Speaker 5: Blake kind of have a difference.
Speaker 2: Go back, Yeah, we go back and forth.
Speaker 5: Blake is very much like, there's no there there and
Speaker 5: it's you know, at least not the blackmail ring of
Speaker 5: pedophiles for the billionaire class. And I've been more open
Speaker 5: to like, Okay, did he work with the CIA, who
Speaker 5: was involved, who was enabling him? But I do think
Speaker 5: on a bigger level when I'm trying to encourage gen Z,
Speaker 5: It's like, we have to deal in the realm of facts.
Speaker 5: There's too many people that are dealing in conspiracies and
Speaker 5: kind of going off the rails. Here in the realm
Speaker 5: of facts is that Trump has been vindicated in a
Speaker 5: lot of ways. This guy was a creep Trump early saying, hey,
Speaker 5: he's messing around with young girls. Here go check him out.
Speaker 5: He was willing to work with authorities, work with the
Speaker 5: FBI early on. There's embarrassing stuff in there. People have
Speaker 5: been forced to resign. If there's criminal stuff there, want
Speaker 5: I want it addressed, absolutely. But in terms of this
Speaker 5: larger conspiracy where it's like five D chess and you've
Speaker 5: got you know, Masonic temples and colts and like the Knights,
Speaker 5: Templar and Israel all like boiler, it's just like it's
Speaker 5: not what the data points to yet or ever. Maybe
Speaker 5: and maybe there's a part where we're just not gonna
Speaker 5: know and it's not an issue worth blackpilling about.
Speaker 2: You look at MASSI. Rich Barry said that the young.
Speaker 5: People just start showing up his models were wrong because
Speaker 5: he assumed some we're gonna show up because it's massy.
Speaker 5: The young people like Massy, but they didn't. And so what
Speaker 5: I'm saying, my message to the to the Massy young
Speaker 5: supporters is like, do not blackpill over one race. I
Speaker 5: mean Massi's not going anywhere. He's gonna be a podcast
Speaker 5: or maybe he runs for president. Don't throw out the
Speaker 5: baby with the bathwater. Do not give up on America
Speaker 5: because you're upset about Epstein.
Speaker 6: And I think there's a real thing to be said
Speaker 6: for a it has to be like a defeatist mindset
Speaker 6: in the country that people we only talk about victimhood
Speaker 6: culture and that manifests personally, but it manifests politically as well.
Speaker 6: To say, ooh, President Trump betrayed us on everything, well, no,
Speaker 6: President Trump has delivered on the border in a big way.
Speaker 6: He delivered on no tax on tips, no tax on
Speaker 6: Social Security. He's delivered one dei weaponization of government. Like,
Speaker 6: he's done a ton of things that he promised to do.
Speaker 6: And I should add, frankly, he actually didn't really campaign
Speaker 6: on the Epstein supporters does.
Speaker 5: He was asked about it once in an interview and
Speaker 5: he said, I'd be inclined to make it public. And
Speaker 5: then when he felt like the jig was up and
Speaker 5: it was being used as a political hot potato against him.
Speaker 5: He started getting more animated against it. Just really quick
Speaker 5: breaking news Toulsi Gabbard. Toulsi Gabbard has resigned from her
Speaker 5: role as Director of National Intelligence. Her husband, Abraham, has
Speaker 5: been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer,
Speaker 5: and so this appears to be why she's leaving now.
Speaker 5: There's been a lot of speculation about whether she was
Speaker 5: going to make it through the midterms. I've been hearing privately.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that was why the rumors began
Speaker 5: in the first place, but certainly I've met her husband.
Speaker 2: He's really a tremendous.
Speaker 5: Guy and just very lovable, very solid, not seeking the limelight.
Speaker 2: So God bless him.
Speaker 5: We pray for him, We pray for Tulsi Gabbard as
Speaker 5: she pays the tension that her family needs right now.
Speaker 5: It seems so kind of a sad reason for that
Speaker 5: to be happening, certainly, and.
Speaker 13: Says effective June thirtieth, You.
Speaker 5: Just you never know how many days you got, and
Speaker 5: you got to take care of your health, and when
Speaker 5: something like this happens with your family, I totally support this.
Speaker 2: It's such a difficult role.
Speaker 5: By the way, Dn, I, you're basically, you know, babysitting
Speaker 5: all the intel agencies that don't want to be babysat.
Speaker 6: Don't want to be babysad, don't want to be policed,
Speaker 6: don't want to listen when you tell them to do things.
Speaker 4: Do you ever replace us?
Speaker 6: Or we want someone who will boss them around and
Speaker 6: bully them because the agencies are in need of that.
Speaker 4: They are very out of control.
Speaker 6: And let's be real, they think they should be above
Speaker 6: democratic policing, above control.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I couldn't agree with you more.
Speaker 5: And I mean it's one of those things where I
Speaker 5: just I really I know Abraham and so it's hard
Speaker 5: to hear this story and not make it personal. He's
Speaker 5: legitimately a great guy. I want to get a picture
Speaker 5: of him up there. That's why I'm I'm looking down
Speaker 5: at my computer here. He's he's a surfer, he's a filmmaker.
Speaker 5: I mean, he's like he is the most quintessentially Hawaiian
Speaker 5: dude that you can imagine.
Speaker 2: And so he's just great. So we really do.
Speaker 5: Pray for him, and and I think he's he's the
Speaker 5: strength oftentimes that Tulci's needed in one of the most
Speaker 5: difficult jobs in Washington. So yeah, God bless him and
Speaker 5: we pray they're okay.
Speaker 13: Confirmed, Her last days expected to be June thirtieth, so
Speaker 13: she has what a month left?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 5: So a month left with Tulsi, which should be enough
Speaker 5: time to hopefully get somebody else up and run again.
Speaker 5: It's the most incredibly difficult job. Do we still have
Speaker 5: David on Yeah, I'm still here, all right, David. Do
Speaker 5: we answer your question when we're talking about Thomas Massey?
Speaker 12: Definitely?
Speaker 2: Definitely good good points.
Speaker 14: There, Mikey, you got a point to make, No, Yeah,
Speaker 14: I just I was sharing in the break about how
Speaker 14: Bill Monk, one of Charlie's mentors. There's this story, Charlie
Speaker 14: you'd always tell about how Bill walked into his office
Speaker 14: one day and he was talking about like mutinies employees
Speaker 14: and people in politics, and he goes, Charlie, very important
Speaker 14: lesson insubordination must never be tolerated. And then Charlie goes,
Speaker 14: then he says, now, let's drink Starbucks.
Speaker 4: And that's like the story. But when you have.
Speaker 14: Two hundred and eight used be eighteen, it's two hundred
Speaker 14: and seventeen now members of Congress Republicans, and there's one
Speaker 14: president that leads the party. We can't afford to have
Speaker 14: even one of those two hundred and seventeen have their
Speaker 14: own agenda. And so even though I agree on like
Speaker 14: ninety five percent of the politics that Thomas Massey has,
Speaker 14: get in line. Like the president has an agenda. He
Speaker 14: was he was elected by the people to enact that agenda.
Speaker 14: And so get in line. And if you don't, then
Speaker 14: everybody knows who this president is. He's going to come
Speaker 14: after you. You will, like, all right, are we shocked
Speaker 14: that the President's going to primary you? Like everybody's moaning
Speaker 14: and ups set that he's not spending as much time fighting. Okay,
Speaker 14: it's it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 16: Like it.
Speaker 2: Are we surprised?
Speaker 13: You know, to circle back on to finish Andrew's point
Speaker 13: of the not black pilling. While we were sitting here,
Speaker 13: I looked at black pill in Charlie. No black pilling.
Speaker 13: Stop black pilling would walk.
Speaker 4: Through the office.
Speaker 13: No more black pilling today at it.
Speaker 4: I really want to get one that's amazing.
Speaker 6: I really want to get to this next question though,
Speaker 6: because I think it's a very rich one. I think
Speaker 6: we have Mick next, I meet yourself, Yes, sir, really quick.
Speaker 17: I'd like to pay my respects to Kyle Busch, one
Speaker 17: of the greatest NASCAR drivers to ever do it, greatest
Speaker 17: of this millennium, absolutely over the two hundred wins, a
Speaker 17: real culture icon and on the culture.
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, go ahead, Oh I was just gonna say
Speaker 4: I I didn't.
Speaker 6: I'm not a big NASCAR watcher, but even I knew
Speaker 6: who Kyle Busch was and when I loved about him
Speaker 6: because I knew this fact was he was a NASCAR driver.
Speaker 6: He could win the National Championship, but he raced in
Speaker 6: the two lower levels, even the truck racing, which is
Speaker 6: like level three, because he just loved racing so much.
Speaker 6: The guy wanted to go race win as many as
Speaker 6: he could. A lot of people have noticed his last
Speaker 6: race win. He's talking and almost in tears, like you
Speaker 6: never know when your.
Speaker 4: Last one will be. Let's play this and I really
Speaker 4: admire that.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Kyle Bush, your sixty ninth victory in this series,
Speaker 13: your fifth right here?
Speaker 4: Why do these moments never get old?
Speaker 16: Kyle?
Speaker 18: Because you never know when the last one is, you know,
Speaker 18: so uh.
Speaker 5: Hmmm, really touching, and it looks like, from what reports
Speaker 5: has suggested is that he was suffering potentially from a
Speaker 5: form of pneumonia and he just kind of battled through
Speaker 5: it and he didn't he didn't go into the hospital
Speaker 5: soon enough.
Speaker 6: He was found non responsive, like you just you think
Speaker 6: it's a bad cold and suddenly you I've seen people
Speaker 6: describe it suddenly like you're breathing through a coffee straw.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was so sad, that is, But yeah, please
Speaker 5: with your question, Mick.
Speaker 19: Sorry, Yeah, I mean, you know, with Kyle Bush, he
Speaker 19: was just a cultural icon to many Americans, and with
Speaker 19: the culture, I think conservatives until very very recently struggled
Speaker 19: to get into that main national spotlight. And I think
Speaker 19: the first bit we saw that happening was with Matt
Speaker 19: Walsh's documentaries back in twenty twenty two and twenty three,
Speaker 19: And so I just asked, like, why do you think
Speaker 19: for that period of time, and even still a lot
Speaker 19: of conservatives today, why do you think we struggled with
Speaker 19: that getting into that main spotlight when it's not necessarily
Speaker 19: being political.
Speaker 13: I mean, I think, to be honest, we all know
Speaker 13: a big player and that was Charlie like making conservatism
Speaker 13: cool again. I remember we would always joke with him.
Speaker 13: The kids started to tell him he had riz and
Speaker 13: he didn't know what that meant, and they all thought
Speaker 13: he was with his cough drops that it was like
Speaker 13: nicotine pouches, And they all thought he was cool because
Speaker 13: he was so close tonag to them and could speak
Speaker 13: their language.
Speaker 5: As an advocate of truth, you know that women shouldn't
Speaker 5: have to share locker rooms with men, women shouldn't have
Speaker 5: to compete against male athletes, and they shouldn't be punished
Speaker 5: for speaking the truth. But across America, that's exactly what's happening.
Speaker 5: Men are being allowed to compete in women's sports, robbing
Speaker 5: girls of scholarships, medals, titles, and safety. Now, the US
Speaker 5: Supreme Court has heard two cases West Virginia VBPJ and
Speaker 5: Little v. Heacocks that could decide the future of women's
Speaker 5: sports nationwide. This could be a watershed moment in the
Speaker 5: fight to protect biological reality and fairness. Alliance Defending Freedom

Speaker 13: We still have.
Speaker 6: Mix Mix's wondering yeh yeah, Mick.
Speaker 13: Tell you know are We were talking about it in
Speaker 13: the break and we were discussing how I think your
Speaker 13: right conservative used to struggle to be in the realm
Speaker 13: of pop culture. And I think also a lot of
Speaker 13: it was just like coming from an air of like
Speaker 13: looking down on it's all bad. It's all because it
Speaker 13: was very dark for a long time, and there were
Speaker 13: a lot of things to point out that are wrong.
Speaker 13: But I think one when good things happen in pop culture,
Speaker 13: we all need to take a look and like praise
Speaker 13: those things and say, hey, this is a great thing.
Speaker 13: Same when Taylor Swift got engaged, Charlie said, this is
Speaker 13: a great thing. We need to celebrate this. We don't
Speaker 13: need to be nice about everything. But then we're talking
Speaker 13: about how relevant podcasters have become now, like SNL doing
Speaker 13: they have on their weekend update, they have a Tuger
Speaker 13: Carlson impersonator now, and it's just everything has become mainstream
Speaker 13: to just be a podcaster, like it's a stick now.
Speaker 13: So I think it has become.
Speaker 5: Netflix has a whole podcast section, Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yes, with with Jake Shane and they. It's like just
Speaker 13: podcasting has become so got a lot. It's become so
Speaker 13: overly saturated. I think the people point that out a
Speaker 13: lot where it's not. I don't know that it's just
Speaker 13: cool now, it's more just like a normal thing. I
Speaker 13: don't know how much more invested we can get in.
Speaker 13: I'm trying to think culture because podcasters are the majority, but.
Speaker 6: That's only one subset, because I think a big part
Speaker 6: of pop culture, a lot of it. We're talking about movies,
Speaker 6: we're talking about television, we're talking about books, music that
Speaker 6: music that a lot of that is, let's be frank,
Speaker 6: it's still very much comes off as a left wing monoculture.
Speaker 4: And that includes stuff that, let's be frank, objectively, is
Speaker 4: pretty good.
Speaker 6: Like when if you look at the absolute best movies
Speaker 6: of the year that even conservatives like to watch. Often
Speaker 6: they're by pretty liberal individuals, and conservatives have wanted to
Speaker 6: break into that many times.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I think I've been around the block three or four
Speaker 6: times on Oh, conservatives, we're going to make movies that
Speaker 6: aren't overtly conservative, they're just but they're made by conservatives,
Speaker 6: and they're just as good as the stuff left wingers make.
Speaker 6: And it's been mixed results a lot of the time,
Speaker 6: and I do wonder why we've struggled to do that,
Speaker 6: and because we have talented people, we have smart people,
Speaker 6: and there's been more than one case even where a
Speaker 6: talented conservative writer or film producer or something has has
Speaker 6: moved in that direction and then suddenly the stuff they
Speaker 6: make goes down in quality.
Speaker 4: And it's very.
Speaker 5: Frustrating my issue, and I spend a lot of time
Speaker 5: in Hollywood. I would say that when you try and
Speaker 5: force feed ideology into film or TV, it gets worse.
Speaker 5: That this happens with the libs too. This is why
Speaker 5: they can't make movies nearly as well as they did
Speaker 5: in the eighties and nineties, right because they're trying to
Speaker 5: jam their ideology into what should just be good stories, right,
Speaker 5: And so I would just caution anybody who's doing now,
Speaker 5: if you're doing what Hillsdale's doing, you're doing a documentary
Speaker 5: about the revolution, that's great, that's the perfect context and
Speaker 5: platform to do that from.
Speaker 2: But just tell good stories.
Speaker 5: I keep mentioning this. I'm watching a show called Widow's
Speaker 5: Bay right now. It's not liberal or I know it's
Speaker 5: a weird name.
Speaker 2: It's a horror comedy. Horror comedy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just it's listen, it's it's actually pretty scary.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't recommend it for under a certain age, but
Speaker 5: like it's just good. It's just good, And I think
Speaker 5: that's great, you know what I mean. I mean, but
Speaker 5: you just make good content, tell good stories. If you
Speaker 5: are conservative or a traditional American or you're Christian, your
Speaker 5: your your stuff is going to weave in to the
Speaker 5: way they talk, the way they make decisions, the way
Speaker 5: your character arcs play out. So I say, stop putting
Speaker 5: the pressure on you to make overtly conservative stuff, make
Speaker 5: good stories. And really, at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: like our culture is going to reflect the values of
Speaker 5: its people, so we need to be doing a better
Speaker 5: job evangelizing people, pushing revival, telling people to repent for
Speaker 5: the Kingdom of God is near, going to church, having
Speaker 5: a family, raising good kids, those things. The more we
Speaker 5: do that as a culture, through the podcasting realm, through
Speaker 5: the pulpit, through news, through whatever platform we have, I
Speaker 5: think culture is going to get healthier. Therefore our art
Speaker 5: will also start reflecting a healthier culture.
Speaker 13: Wait, I think, Sarana your question, the answer why we
Speaker 13: struggle is because I think conservatives have stayed the same
Speaker 13: for a long time and the values of culture have
Speaker 13: gone the opposite direction.
Speaker 6: We should put some blame on liberals too, which is
Speaker 6: I think there's a lot of avenues to get in
Speaker 6: at the entry level of a lot of cultural output,
Speaker 6: and the left took over those, made them gary and
Speaker 6: they get kept them with. That was the whole It
Speaker 6: was like a compact article that we covered about white
Speaker 6: men just kind of.
Speaker 4: Getting purged out of everything.
Speaker 6: And you do need to get in at the entry
Speaker 6: level to really build up skills in a lot of
Speaker 6: cultural production. And so, for example, we don't get good
Speaker 6: conservative novels a lot of the time anymore because we
Speaker 6: don't get like any good novels from white dudes anymore.
Speaker 13: And then a question I think a lot of people
Speaker 13: have is, Okay, do we just if liberals have taken over,
Speaker 13: do we back away and make our own stuff? Or
Speaker 13: do we still try?
Speaker 5: And in general, I may infiltrate the institution's guy.
Speaker 2: I'm not a retreat guy, and.
Speaker 13: I think there are conservatives completely on both sides of
Speaker 13: that argument, which is good because we do need people
Speaker 13: that are making wholesome alternative content, alternative products for economies.
Speaker 6: Yes, we have to open a you know, a book
Speaker 6: publishing and TV production house in Bulgaria or something where
Speaker 6: we can evade.
Speaker 4: All DEI control.
Speaker 5: I think Hollywood is specifically really I mean Daily Wires
Speaker 5: an example that run into you know, problems trying to
Speaker 5: create a conservative inspired content. It's a big task to
Speaker 5: takes a lot of money, a lot of distribution. So
Speaker 5: when it comes to Hollywood in the arts, I think
Speaker 5: we have to infiltrate the existing institutions in my in
Speaker 5: my opinion, Ian is next.
Speaker 2: Ian, please unmute yourself. Welcome to the Charlie kirkshow Hey,
Speaker 2: good morning, guys. Are what's your question?
Speaker 16: Hey?
Speaker 10: I was I've been had the opportunity this later this
Speaker 10: year to go to Africa to preach, and I was
Speaker 10: you know, I don't have no fear in doubt, but
Speaker 10: my faith in God is greater than that. So I
Speaker 10: was curious about times in your life that God's called
Speaker 10: you to do something and how did you show courage?
Speaker 10: And also anecdotally, I'm sure you guys have stories about
Speaker 10: Charlie many times with that, so any of that would
Speaker 10: be appreciated.
Speaker 2: Mike, you want to start. Days you want to start,
Speaker 2: I've got one.
Speaker 13: Let's hear from Mike.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Out of curiosity, where an Africa were you?
Speaker 8: You?
Speaker 10: Gonda Nice?
Speaker 6: I have some family who I think do do preaching
Speaker 6: missionary type stuff.
Speaker 4: And you gone to actual Yeah, there's a lot.
Speaker 5: Of Christians in Uganda and Kenya area. It's been evangelized.
Speaker 5: I mean you still get it's still dangerous, don't get
Speaker 5: me wrong, but.
Speaker 6: It's right on that line between actually Islam and Christianity
Speaker 6: and traditional beliefs, and so it's a place to be
Speaker 6: if you're going to preach.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, where mom Donnie's from.
Speaker 14: I've been to Uganda. This was my first mission's trip too.
Speaker 14: Great place. Yeah, I think for me is if the
Speaker 14: Lord is genuinely calling you to something, and you take
Speaker 14: that leap like there is no looking back. Like once
Speaker 14: you make the decision, you're all in and you kind
Speaker 14: of like have to constantly like read your Bible, continue
Speaker 14: to pray rely on the Lord, because the moment you
Speaker 14: stop doing that is the moment you start to detach
Speaker 14: yourself from your faith. And the moment you detach yourself
Speaker 14: from faith, you stop having faith in the mission that
Speaker 14: God puts you on.
Speaker 2: Rely on your own flesh.
Speaker 14: You rely on your own flesh, You start questioning why
Speaker 14: you're somewhere. You start questioning was this even the right decision.
Speaker 14: So once you make the decision being steadfast, honoring the Lord,
Speaker 14: continuing to just talk with him, pray rely on the
Speaker 14: Holy Spirit. I mean, I talk about this all the time.
Speaker 14: We say that the Lord, you know, it's the pinnacle
Speaker 14: of our lives, and that we rely on the Holy
Speaker 14: Spirit and all these things. But how often do you
Speaker 14: guys walk into meetings, How often do you guys walk
Speaker 14: into challenging situations just say, like, Holy Spirit speak to me,
Speaker 14: like Lord, please come and like offer your guidance and
Speaker 14: your wisdom, like James one to five. For those of
Speaker 14: you who lacks wisdom, ask of God who gives to
Speaker 14: all liberally, and with that reproach.
Speaker 4: Like just ask like how many times do we actually
Speaker 4: do that?
Speaker 14: And how hard is it to literally walk into a
Speaker 14: meeting and be like, Holy Spirit, come invade this place
Speaker 14: and let this be your meeting.
Speaker 2: Well, he asked me, of my instance, Sorry, Blake, what
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 6: Saying, He asked about Charlie, And I'd say, what stood
Speaker 6: out with me about Charlie is by certainly by the
Speaker 6: time I met him, which was late twenty twenty two,
Speaker 6: I feel, at least as I saw it, he was
Speaker 6: he was actually at this like perfect state of almost
Speaker 6: maybe eleving serenity. I think Charlie was very good about
Speaker 6: even in like difficult times. He was all he was
Speaker 6: a big believer. You create your own mental state and
Speaker 6: it's all on God. And he you didn't see him
Speaker 6: as much where he's like, oh, I'm struggling, and you know,
Speaker 6: let's do you know a prayer to have God, you know,
Speaker 6: to remember what's centering us. It was more like Charlie,
Speaker 6: it's like it's shone from him.
Speaker 2: It glowed all of the.
Speaker 4: Time the faith.
Speaker 6: I definitely saw him struggle at time maybe and if
Speaker 6: you saw it more than I did.
Speaker 4: You were with him every day.
Speaker 13: To Mikey's point, though, like Charlie did have that constant
Speaker 13: connection with God, like constantly reflecting back on his disciplines,
Speaker 13: on his scriptures, on his word to know that like
Speaker 13: no matter what was happening in his life, he did
Speaker 13: have that constant stream of connection to the Lord, and
Speaker 13: that's what grounded him. And I also you asked about
Speaker 13: courage too. I think back all the time to Charlie's
Speaker 13: podcast on the Ice Copy Hour when they didn't ask him,
Speaker 13: when they asked what he wanted to be known for.
Speaker 13: He didn't just say his faith. He said courage for
Speaker 13: his faith, like the willing to tell other people about
Speaker 13: it and put it all on the line and say
Speaker 13: this is the thing that I will bet my entire
Speaker 13: life on. And it's more than just oh, I want
Speaker 13: to be known for having a strong faith. It's for
Speaker 13: being willing to do anything.
Speaker 2: For that faith.
Speaker 4: And I would pervade everything.
Speaker 5: I would just say, Like Mikey, I remember a lot
Speaker 5: of instances where Charlie was struggling or was afraid, even
Speaker 5: especially in the earliers, and he kept overcoming them and
Speaker 5: fighting through and each time he would fight through a challenge,
Speaker 5: backs against the wall, all of a sudden it was
Speaker 5: like he got stronger. The next time he could tackle more.
Speaker 5: And so remember it's a process, it's not a straight line.
Speaker 5: You build up muscles for this stuff. This Mother's Day month,
Speaker 5: you can help make motherhood possible. If you've ever joined

Speaker 5: preborn banner at Charliekirk dot com. All right, I just
Speaker 5: want to say one final thing about the final question
Speaker 5: that we have a few more we gotta get to
Speaker 5: before the hours up. You asked what our moments were,
Speaker 5: and really, like I think we would all look around
Speaker 5: the room if I pose this question, But like when
Speaker 5: Charlie was killed, that was a moment where we all
Speaker 5: had to have courage that and dig deep because it
Speaker 5: was awful and we didn't know what was gonna come next.
Speaker 5: And I've told the story. I think I told it
Speaker 5: on Alex Clark's podcast, but like I literally had to
Speaker 5: like fall on the floor and repent because I just
Speaker 5: drafted behind Charlie. Charlie took all the slings and arrows,
Speaker 5: he did all the hard work, and we got to
Speaker 5: kind of like draft behind him. And you know, it
Speaker 5: didn't have to host a show every day, It didn't
Speaker 5: have to speak to students, didn't have go speak at events.
Speaker 2: Like Charlie did all that stuff. I just got to
Speaker 2: hang out with my family.
Speaker 5: It was awesome and that's you know, and so I
Speaker 5: had to sort of repent and say, God, you know,
Speaker 5: whatever you have for me in this season, I guess
Speaker 5: I just have to say yes. And I love the
Speaker 5: way Mikey said it that you just have to kind
Speaker 5: of decide to go all in and just say yes.
Speaker 5: And so that was, you know, Ultimately, we watched Charlie
Speaker 5: go through that time and time again and he got
Speaker 5: like I said, he got stronger as he did it,
Speaker 5: and it was really powerful to watch.
Speaker 2: Next question, we have? What do we have?
Speaker 13: Anthony?
Speaker 2: Anthony, Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show.
Speaker 11: Thank you. So. First thing is, Danny said Andrew would
Speaker 11: have to wear a hat or a certain shirt today
Speaker 11: from a bet made one to two weeks ago. And
Speaker 11: Danny's supposed to be wearing the same thing too, because
Speaker 11: something from a bet he made with me the following
Speaker 11: the week after Andrew lost.
Speaker 2: I did. What did I lose?
Speaker 4: Sounds like is the Dodgers keep losing?
Speaker 2: Pa?
Speaker 11: No, you lost to my braves?
Speaker 5: Oh did I bet anything on that? Anthony Deane, We're
Speaker 5: gonna have to go back and review the tape and
Speaker 5: if I'm wrong, I will do it next week I
Speaker 5: will do it.
Speaker 16: Okay, Well, Deane's got to join you because he said
Speaker 16: his coupor are gonna be my braves a couple of
Speaker 16: days after and that didn't happen either.
Speaker 2: Wait, what are the braves that right now? I don't
Speaker 2: make thirty five, No.
Speaker 11: Thirty six and four.
Speaker 2: You guys are crushing.
Speaker 11: Thirty six and No.
Speaker 16: Thirty five and sixteen.
Speaker 13: Winning thirty five and sixteen.
Speaker 5: You guys have a winning percentage of six eighty six.
Speaker 5: But hey, the Dodgers thirty one and nineteen the six
Speaker 5: twenty winning percentage, and we just took two out of
Speaker 5: three against the Padres, who are.
Speaker 4: Sure he can't hit anymore? Though it's weird, what show
Speaker 4: he's not good at hitting Anymre hit a home.
Speaker 5: Run and didn't give up any He has a piece
Speaker 5: he might get like Cy Young this year. So anyways,
Speaker 5: all right, Anthony, what's your question?
Speaker 16: So my question is this, So we're seeing a lot
Speaker 16: of talk online regarding tics, just higher increase in the
Speaker 16: United States, actually in North America, and we're hearing about
Speaker 16: the lone star red tick, the deer ticks, and how
Speaker 16: like four hundred and fifty thousand Americans have gotten bitten
Speaker 16: by loan star red ticks, which.
Speaker 11: We're genetically engineered from what people are saying.
Speaker 16: By a former computer guy from Microsoft, and that they
Speaker 16: will infect you where you can't eat red meat and
Speaker 16: possibly dairy for the rest of your life. So the
Speaker 16: question is why is nobody talking about this or looking into.
Speaker 11: This, because isn't it kind of shouldn't we not be
Speaker 11: genetically creating ticks to do that?
Speaker 4: Blake, So this is interesting.
Speaker 6: You're right, it is getting more attention, and it's getting
Speaker 6: more attention because we haven't talked about it on the show.
Speaker 6: There's a paper that was published by two guys at
Speaker 6: Western Michigan University's School of Medicine, two guys, Parker Crutchfield
Speaker 6: and Blake Harrith, and they wrote this. It was published
Speaker 6: in twenty October of last year, and it was titled
Speaker 6: Beneficial Blood Sucking and it was some medical ethics paper
Speaker 6: that basically said suggested the idea that intentionally spreading that disease.
Speaker 6: It's called alpha gal syndrome, and it is an allergy
Speaker 6: you can acquire from a bite of that lone star tick,
Speaker 6: where it basically gives you an allergic reaction to red
Speaker 6: meat and I think dairy.
Speaker 4: Products as well.
Speaker 6: Basically, it's a lot of animal products you suddenly have
Speaker 6: an allergy to, and they suggest, well, if animal suffering
Speaker 6: is bad, then and we can reduce animal suffering by
Speaker 6: making everyone allergic to eating animals. We have The exact
Speaker 6: line was, if this practice can be applied to ticks
Speaker 6: carrying AHS, promoting the proliferation of tickborn alpha gal syndrome
Speaker 6: is morally obligatory. Now this does not prove anyone is
Speaker 6: intentionally spreading it. But if there are lib college professors
Speaker 6: writing papers about how it is morally obligatory to spread
Speaker 6: meat allergies, then what are you going to get out there?
Speaker 6: There could be someone who does that. We do have
Speaker 6: genetic research that is done on tics, and the threshold
Speaker 6: to do genetic research on things is going down all
Speaker 6: of the time. This has been brought up with AI,
Speaker 6: it's brought up with a lot of other technologies. We
Speaker 6: should be worried about this, and also it's a good
Speaker 6: reminder we should be we should be investing in the
Speaker 6: breakdown of all of our our checks on spreading pathogens.
Speaker 6: A lot of diseases are spreading that. Yeah, we've had diseases,
Speaker 6: they are spreading up like I think foot and mouth
Speaker 6: diseases made a comeback among animals.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's I got neurovirus.
Speaker 6: Anyway, we should genetic, We should do a crowd We
Speaker 6: should have a big government push to fund the extermination
Speaker 6: of this tech.
Speaker 4: We should make this tech.
Speaker 2: Well, Anthony, I gotta get to our last question.
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry, my friend. Okay, so thank you for
Speaker 5: the question. We got to get to Rob, Rob, Welcome
Speaker 5: to the Charlie Kirkshaw.
Speaker 18: Hey, guys, real quick, I appreciate you letting me on.
Speaker 18: So I think Spencer Prat's a really great example of
Speaker 18: kind of how pop culture and politics are really starting
Speaker 18: to blur the lines. I know, like President Trump did things. Heck,
Speaker 18: even my Senator Rick Scott's putting out AI videos right now,
Speaker 18: which is kind of crazy. But anyways, my question is, so, like,
Speaker 18: where's that balance between needing to stick out with like
Speaker 18: this type of political messaging which is obviously breaking through,
Speaker 18: versus like actually talking about legitimate issues and policy change.
Speaker 18: Like I couldn't tell you what Spencer Pratt's background is
Speaker 18: outside he is a reality start and already graduated from
Speaker 18: I don't know, policies. Yeah, I mean, I don't I
Speaker 18: don't know what he stands for, what he can do,
Speaker 18: or what his bat is.
Speaker 5: So he stands for a competent local governance, that's what
Speaker 5: he stands for, being like common sense, bringing back common
Speaker 5: sense to crime, filth, homelessness, city services budget. That that's
Speaker 5: essentially what his campaign is all about. And I would
Speaker 5: just say, where's the line. It's it's what whatever works,
Speaker 5: whatever the population is responding to, you got to like
Speaker 5: lean into and I would. I said publicly that I
Speaker 5: thought he was the best campaigner of his generation, and
Speaker 5: I stand by that. And then Erica actually tweeted about
Speaker 5: this yesterday.
Speaker 2: So I want to read the tweets. She says.
Speaker 5: Regardless of the outcome of Spencer Pratt's race, what he's
Speaker 5: doing is authentically American. See a problem, become a part
Speaker 5: of the solution. His campaign ads are unconventional, but that's
Speaker 5: the point. It's refreshing. Instead of speaking like a career politician,
Speaker 5: he's speaking as an American who sees and deeply understands
Speaker 5: how fragile the simple things in life are when leadership fails.
Speaker 5: This is what this country is all about. Out citizens
Speaker 5: willing to step into the political arena, unafraid and challenging
Speaker 5: a failing system, much like one that has destroyed Los Angeles.
Speaker 5: I hope moments like this inspire more Americans to throw
Speaker 5: their names into the mix, run for office, get involved,
Speaker 5: and stand up for what makes this country exceptional. Blake,
Speaker 5: final word to you? What is a chud and how
Speaker 5: is he is? Spencer Pratta Chudd?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: Well, a chud is basically a person the left doesn't
Speaker 6: like because they are too cool and they are not
Speaker 6: with it on all.
Speaker 2: Of their issues. And you just do things.
Speaker 4: You just do things.
Speaker 6: You just do things, and you tell the left no,
Speaker 6: and you say I'm not gonna get bossed around.
Speaker 4: By that's offensive.
Speaker 15: You're not allowed to do that.
Speaker 6: If you roll your eyes at that and say, oh,
Speaker 6: that's cool, I'm gonna do it anyway, you're a chud.
Speaker 13: Wait really quickly, we have a couple of seconds left.
Speaker 13: I want to hear from the other resident Californian.
Speaker 9: What do you think?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 14: I think we should all go to California and vote
Speaker 14: illegally because they're not going to check.
Speaker 2: Our y yay, disavow disavow mostly uh. Thank you for
Speaker 2: that question.
