Joe Kent Ragequits + Why The Right Must Win AI

0:00My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a turning point to a state college chapter. Go start a turning point to a state high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life. And I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go. The Charlie Kirk show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts,

1:02and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers. All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. It's March 17, 2026. So listen, we've got a lot of breaking news happening this morning. First up for bids is, of course, the resignation of Joe Kent. He has issued a resignation letter, resigning for my position as director of National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. He cites the war in Iran as his reason. He said there was no imminent threat that that was, you know, concocted narrative. And he is out. He is out at the counterterrorism center. Blake, this is going to be used by a lot of people that don't like this conflict currently to, you know, attack the administration ironically and perhaps intentionally, D&I, Tulsi Grap, Gabbard is scheduled to testify before the Senate Select Committee on intelligence tomorrow, as well as the House House's counterpart committee.

2:13So the timing seems to be rather intentional here. Very well, maybe it's, it's certainly the first high profile departure from the administration that is explicitly over the Iran conflict. It might not be the last one. As you said, it's, it's possible. Tulsi could quit. It's possible. Others could step aside. Now, whether that's a good idea, even if you're a skeptic of the war, I think can be debated because what you do anytime you quit like this is you are, you're stepping aside. You're letting the president and, you know, probably the people who are most in favor of the change, install someone else in your place. So it's kind of, it's a decision to give up on the administration, which we're one year in. There is a lot of presidency to go and there's a lot of problems we genuinely still need to deal with. And so I think even if you're worried about this war, even if you're concerned about it starting, even if you're concerned about how it will end, I don't necessarily see how it's useful to do a big gesture like this. Unless you've just decided you're totally out. And I'm thinking back to how annoying it was in the president's first term when you had people doing these big public resignation jobs.

3:27Mostly on the other side, I remember Mattis quitting and then he became a big thorn in the side of the administration. Tillerson, you had a lot of that. And I don't think it made the president well disposed towards those people. And in that sense, it kind of did help us over time because it was a lot of people on the more moderate wing of the party stepping out. But if the people on the more anti-war wing are now the ones giving the president grief, I do wonder how that might affect the president's approach to things. Yeah, I mean, obviously Joe Kent is making a calculation here that this will become a PR issue for the administration that he can accomplish more to stop the war. If he does something like this, I don't think that's going to happen speculation is that he is potentially already scheduled to be on the Tucker Carlson show to discuss his reason for resigning. You know, there is interestingly enough a tweet of his going around where he discusses, you know, that Iran has been trying to assassinate President Trump since the Soleimani attack in Trump 1.0.

4:34So a lot of people are sort of throwing that back in his face and, you know, what changed Joe because it does seem like, you know, a country trying to assassinate our president is a pretty dramatic. And I would say confrontational step. So if Joe Kent was aware of the nature of these attacks and the seriousness of these attacks, I mean, you could justify an attack against Iran simply on that measure alone. So I have mixed feelings here. Listen, I am, I think I've been very clear that I am not 100% always ra ra in favor of regime change nor was Charlie. As a matter of fact, we, we weren't against it. We, we, we want peace. But when the decision was made by President Trump to go, then we, we are then in support of our troops. We're in support of success in this war. And we wanted to be a good thing for the world. But, you know, so, so listen, I actually think Joe Kent being a counter voice of voice of restraint can be a good thing to your point Blake.

5:42Maybe you could, you make the argument he could achieve more for the effort of peace by being in that position than being out. But obviously he's made the decision not to. Now, Joe, Joe Kent, I want to be very clear is somebody that has served his nation multiple deployments. He lost his wife in the, I believe it was, I forgot exactly which believe. Yeah, it was Afghanistan. Yeah, so he lost his wife there. He's been through a lot. I do believe he's a patriot. He, but there's a lot of people that have come out against Joe Kent for those not aware of the inside baseball. Joe Kent was probably one of the most controversial figures within the Trump admin. He's been accused of leaking documents multiple times. I have no evidence to conclude one way or the other. That's certainly the rumor though that he's been leaking. And so you could, you could make the op, the argument that from the administration standpoint that this is actually a good thing to sort of remove him from that position. But yeah, now speculation is going to arise about the future of Tulsi Gabbard. I, I tend to not believe that she's going to resign. I think that she is a, a patriot who would probably make the opposite choice of Joe Kent.

6:53But yeah, this is what, I mean, tomorrow's hearings are going to be all about now. Well, I think the other stuff you have to look towards is if he's, if he's resigning dramatically. I mean, if he just wanted to step out, he could just say, I'm resigning and I am basically say nothing more. He could resign without a public letter. He could resign with a very brief one. But instead, as you say, it's a longer one that is clearly intended to get attention. He explicitly says why he's quitting. I believe he even says, does he even mention, you know, he's talking about an echo chamber. He's talking about he is explicitly blaming Israel for it and all of that. Like this is an attention getting move and you think of what's next. And what I think we might see is, I think this is escalating the possibility we might see some sort of, let's just say it, third party presidential run in 2028. He might be positioning himself for something like that, positioning himself for a primary challenge in some sort of congressional or Senate race.

7:55I'm what I would suspect is this could be a step towards some sort of more aggressively anti war coalition that might break away from the president might explicitly break away from mega. And if that's going to take place, I wonder who else might join it. And throwing that out there, I'd love email us at freedom at Charlie Kirk. What do you make of this? Because I know a lot of you would be joking fans in the past. But does this sour you on him? Or do you think he's in the right? We would love to see what your takes are. Yeah. And he specifically does. He says early in the administration, high ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign deployed designed to wholly undermine your America first platform. And so pro war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. So he's pointing the finger squarely at Israel. He's pointing the finger squarely at the Neocon factions within the DC conservative establishment.

9:03So big shot across the bow. There's no doubt this is a big moment. And it was yet to be seen exactly how it's going to play out what the ramifications are, but we're all over it. All right. So want to get to some of your emails here. We've got, you know, it says this is from I don't have the name gale. I'm from Joe Kent's district in Washington state. Joe lost his congressional race in a red district to a socialist. Even a Trump endorsement could not wash the stink off of him. Joe was a liberal. Joe was a Democrat. And then Joe was a Republican. Joe wets his fingers and sticks him in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing. I absolutely believe that they're trying to fracture the conservative voters and make a third party run. So that's from one of Joe's near constituents. Yeah, we have another one here. Kyrie. I was not familiar with Joe Kent until now. But looking at face value, it appears he's trying to make a noticeable statement against the president's decisions and not simply bowing out quietly due to personal convictions. That's not a good look.

10:09So whenever someone blames Israel for their problems, they lose a level of respect from me and earn a level of suspicion. Kim says dear CKS show. Yes, I support Joe Kent as a third time Trump voter. I have no idea what he's doing right now. Maybe more resignations are needed in order to send that message. I'm feeling betrayed. So she's feeling betrayed. I believe by the by the decision to go into the conflict with Iran. So yeah, they're listen, we've got people that are supporting Joe Kent's decision. We have people that are upset with this, which is very common when it comes to issues of foreign policy. I have said it. Charlie has said it. There is no issue that divides the coalition quite like foreign policy. And then you combine that with the fact that we're making these strikes in cooperation in coordination with Israel. And it's a it's a combustible situation. There's just no way to get around it. The other piece of news that's happening right now is there is rumors of a Senate takeover on the floor of the US Senate for passage of the Save America Act. So we heard that last night that these rumors are swirling the

11:26bill reported that there could be a takeover. Let's go ahead and play this cut 20. Now word leaked earlier today, Senator, that Trump allies are planning a floor takeover. Now, what does that mean? I assume that's you. What does that mean? And how will that make it more likely that this becomes law? I have absolutely no idea what a floor takeover means. But if a floor takeover means that we're going to make a filibustering senators speak against this bill. Heck yeah, I'm all for it. Let's do it. Let's take over the floor. So it's basically that a few of President Trump Trump's allies in the Senate are allegedly planning to hold the floor, which will stop everything else until something happens with the Save America. So they're going to basically commandeer the Senate floor to force this motion forward. Now it is widely popular. We've all talked about that about 84% of all Americans support voter ID in some way, shape or form.

12:26And the Democrats don't want to see this happen. And it's very clear why they don't want to see something popular happen. It's because this is core and central to the Democrat business model. They need to offer incentive incentives opportunity civic engagement to illegal immigrants in order to get more of them to come and more of them to stay. They have lost the trust of Native born Americans of citizens. And therefore they need to incentivize this transformation effort, this project to transform the electorate of the United States by encouraging illegals to be able to vote. Now we could have arguments till we're blue in the face about how many are actually voting in our elections. I think there are some. I think there are enough to be concerned about potentially there is a determinative amount of these people voting in some jurisdictions. Regardless, if you think there are none that are voting, why would you care that we pass voter ID then? If the laws are so good, it's already illegal. Why would we not simply pass something?

13:26Because if it's not going to have an impact, well, their argument is that a lot of people married women, black voters, minority voters can't get ID that would prove that they're eligible to vote. That's their argument. Their argument is that married women are too dumb to go prove that their their married name is is now their their their legal name to vote by. So, you know, Blake, I don't know what you make of those arguments. I tend to find that this is a another bigotry of low expectations argument from the left and it holds no water, but they're not they're not going to vote for this. Yeah, I mean, they're not like look either Republicans in the Senate want voter ID and want, you know, federal election security stuff or they don't and they can either actually pass it or they cannot. And I think even if this doesn't pass, I think we're we're really seeing very starkly the limits of what a Republican Senate is able to do as long as the filibuster is in place. And maybe now isn't the time to get rid of it because we might only have Congress for the next six months, basically, but on the other hand, like at some point, I think it's going to get thrown out and then you're going to have to have more seriousness about what we can pass.

14:40We've seen over and over again that the Republicans can make very big promises and then they fail to pass anything because we have this fake Congress that needs a super majority to do anything. And I think at the least this is forcing us to get closer to making Congress real and I prefer to take the long view. The long view is what are all the things that we can do when we have a fully real Congress that can pass things with 51 votes or 50 votes and this is just this is just step one. I like the Save Act. I think it matters, but I think there's a whole bunch of other things that we should also be building out for the day when we can have 50 votes to pass things. Yeah, the questions central to this morning's debate on the floor of the Senate is, is this more failure theater? Is this performative? Are they really serious? And I have not seen the proof from leader Thune that this is actually a serious effort. I think he's trying to save face. I hope I'm wrong.

15:41You know, we spend a lot of time on this show talking about culture about why strong families matter, why values matter, why faith matters, but here's something practical. If you actually want to build a strong family someday, you have to start by meeting someone who shares those same values and convictions and in today's culture, that's not always easy. A lot of apps are built around casual connections, instant gratification, no long term vision, and that's just not what many of you are looking for you want something better. That's why I like upward upward is a dating app designed around faith and shared values, people who care about commitment, integrity, marriage and family, you're starting from common ground instead of trying to negotiate your core beliefs three months later into the relationship. That kind of clarity really matters if faith is central to your life, or even if it's something that shaped how you were raised and how you see the world upward connects you with people who take that seriously. If you're tired of the confusion and you're ready to date with intention with marriage and family in mind, download upward and start building on the right foundation because strong relationships don't just happen by accident, they start with shared values, download the upward app today.

16:51Coach Tuberville, Senator Tuberville out of the great state of Alabama, and he's going to be leaving the Senate soon is going to be the next governor of that state, but there's work to do on the hill and he's still he's mixing it up. Senator, welcome back. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. You caused quite a stir this week with your the enemy is inside the gates and it was a picture of the Twin Towers on fire next to Mayor Mamdani sitting on the floor for I guess some sort of Ramadan feast inside the mayor's mansion in New York. The enemy is inside the gates. I think you're at 17 million views on that tweet, Senator. Tell us about it. Well, first of all, I love this country. My dad gave his life on active duty in the military. I'm doing this job because you know, I had a pretty good and successful career in coaching, but I said, you know, I want to go help our country because we got a lot of problems and it's something we can fix.

17:53Well, to come up here, you have to identify the problem and I've identified a lot of problems and one of them is these people from these third world countries that hate our country. And they wish death to all Americans that don't believe in the Quran and their cult and we had better wake up. It's a great example of this Andrew and it's in U of K, Italy, France, and Germany. They have lost their countries to these third world people that want to preach and teach Sharia law. And they want to bow down to the Quran, which is their Bible that believes and preaches death to all infidels, which by the way, an infidel is somebody that doesn't believe in what they believe in. And so they want to kill all of us. And what the hell are we thinking? I mean, these people are a threat to our society and our way of life. They've ruined Europe and we're not going to allow them to do it here. And you got this men dummy guy in New York, he sets around on towels and and and prayer rugs and he's got a Quran on his desk and we're supposed to listen to him.

19:06Give me a break. I'm not going to do it. And I'm going to fight against it every day. Well, you're a brave man. And you know, I would say that all good Muslims want to take over Western civilization. They are loyal to Mecca. They pray to the east because they don't care about, they're not loyal to this country. Let's put it that way. Now Chuck Schumer had an issue with your tweet here. He said, this is mindless hate. Muslim Americans are cops, doctors, nurses, teachers, bankers, brick layers, mothers, fathers, neighbors, mayors and more. And mayors is right. Islamophobic hate like this is fundamentally un-American. I disagree, Senator Schumer. And we must confront and overcome it whenever it rears its ugly head. Okay, this is coming from a Jewish senator, which is ironic. But then I want to I want to I want to contrast his statement with a very important clip. This is in a mom in Florida. Cut 22. There's seven nearly seven million American Muslims right now. Let's take gratitude in the fact that we're here in the great state of Florida.

20:09Part of power building is building a pipeline of leaders. I want to see in Shal'Allah one day governor of the state of Florida is a Muslim. Everybody say in Shal'Allah the house has Muslims in there saying Shal'Allah. They have a plan, Senator, and they are executing it. You're exactly right. They have a plan, Andrew, and we don't. What we're doing is we're worrying about all the small things in our country. And we're not watching the gates of people coming in. Joe Biden almost ruined this country with 10 or 15 million illegal immigrants. A lot of criminals, President Trump's doing his best, but he's fighting the Democrats every day to get these people out there. Chuck Schumer, the Democrats, I was a color of the week last week. In other words, they passed my name around. Hey, go after coach. But he had something to say about some of our future and potential voters. Listen, President Trump got 77 million votes.

21:09He got a lot of African American votes. He got a lot of union votes. And so they can't win if a guy like President Trump starts stealing their voting base. Who's their new voting base? Their new girlfriend is illegal aliens and Muslims. Muslims that believe in serial law and the grand. Now listen, I've got some good Muslim friends. But they love this country. They want to make this country better. And they're not after preaching hate and kill all Americans. If you go along with what we're doing in this country and believe in our constitution or laws, Hey, I'm all for you. I don't care if you're Muslim, Catholic. Baptist makes me no difference. I want Americans to live in this country. Not people that are going to try to kill other Americans. That's not going to happen. Yeah, I think that's well said, Senator. And I were with you 100%. You know, and Charlie always made the distinction between micro and macro. He believed that macro. Islam was not compatible with American values with the West at all.

22:09Micro. Yes, there's individual Muslims that are wonderful people. And they're they're great Americans. But again, a lot of those are bad Muslims. I don't mean that. And as a pejorative. I mean, that is a compliment to them. If you're a good Muslim and you take the word of the Quran verbatim, then we are infidels that need to be subjugated, conquered and controlled. Yeah, like clearly, like the text of the historic core Islamic documents is far more in favor of religiously motivated violence than anything you can find in the New Testament. It's not even close. And big picture, it's really standing out to me that it's like we have we have a surge in this. Oh, we must be maximally welcoming. We need more Islamic migration. Basically, every time there's a surge of Islamic terror, you can even look at the polls. America literally became substantially more pro-Islam in the immediate aftermath of 9-11, because the line went out from the Bush administration, from the levers of power,

23:09that the religion of peace, these are a handful of extremists, are actually very pro-them otherwise. And it's become such a rote thing. It happens every single time. But we're clearly not being rewarded with lots of moderation. We're being rewarded with aggression, with an attitude of conquest. And if we want to see the end result of that, you can look at the UK, where they now just elect members of parliament whose sole issue is Gaza. Like, you're in Britain. Yeah. I said it, I don't know if you want to react to that, but we've also had four radical Islamists attack Americans in the last month. So there's that too. And Andrew is coming. We've got a lot more coming. We're just seeing a small part of it right now. President Trump, he ticked them all off when he went in to Iran. But the Democrats can't stand it. Because I think they have more in common with Iranians, I'm talking about the Democrats, Chuck Schumer and all the Democrats,

24:11than they do with Americans. Because they would rather fight for these people in terms of money and power and all those things. But, you know, the thing about it is, as we got people in this country that have been indoctrinated right and left, we got people up. And in the state of Alabama, we had a school that was up. It was a Muslim school right outside of Birmingham. They wanted to enlarge it, but they were teaching Sri Laugh and the Quran in that school. And I said, no, no, no, no. And we had, fortunately, a lot of school members that's parents went to a school board meeting and blocked this expansion of this nonsense that they preached. So it's going everywhere. We got hundreds and hundreds of mosques all this country, all over this country. We have people praying in the streets. Now, they can't pray in the streets in these Muslim countries, but they're doing it in our streets in New York, Detroit, California. It's nonsense. And so we have to take our country back over. Again, if they're going to take Europe back over, they're probably going to fight in the streets to get it back.

25:12We don't want to get to that point. Let's stop it right now. Let's stop this nonsense. If you're going to be in this country, be in America and go bar constitution, go bar laws. If you can't do that, it's time for you to hit the gates. Amen. I want to turn our attention really quick, Senator, to the Save America Act. It's the vote or the debate is happening right now in the Senate. Tell us what you know, what can we expect today? Well, this is more of a show week. We can't get it passed. And it's probably one of the most crucial pieces of legislation, single pieces that we will face. When I go back to Alabama, people look at me as a coach. Please tell me, my vote is going to count. Please tell me, I'm not going to get canceled out by non-citizen in this country. And it makes you feel bad. Up here, you know, it's almost a 90% vote from people all over the country, Democrat Republicans, that you need to get this passed. You need to be a citizen to vote for our leaders in this country.

26:12We can't get anything done. We even have Republicans that are not going to vote for it. Talking filibuster is not going to work. The only way we can do it, we've got to bust a filibuster. 51 votes. Get this done. Pass everything we can for President Trump between now and the election next year. And we can take this country back over. But if we don't get this passed, we are doomed. We will lose the midterms. President Trump will be fighting for his life when it comes to staying in office. It'll be a disaster for the American people and a disaster for the 250th year of our country. Well, it just feels like this is more failure theater, though. If we can't get it passed, it feels like leader thunes just trying to save face. And there's no option. 10 seconds. The big thing, the big thing is they said we got to keep the filibuster its tradition. And I tell them to listen, folks, I don't work for the tradition. I don't work for the Senate. I work for the people of this country. And it's time to wake up and smell the roses that this is not going to work the way we're doing it. Amen, Sarah.

27:12You are a patriot. We have your back 100%. Thank you for saying the hard things and the true things and being fearless. And we're going to miss you in the Senate. But I know the state of Alabama is lucky to have you as their next governor. So we got your back there too. So coach, we'll see it. We'll see you soon. I'm sure God bless you. God bless. The online world moves fast and it's moving even faster these days. That's why TikTok approaches teen safety with families in mind from the start. Because discovery and creativity are both wonderful things, but it's important to make sure that safety comes first as well. On TikTok, teenagers have over 50 built-in protections right from when they join. Accounts, routines all start private by default. They're not open to the entire world. And for those under 16, direct messages are turned off. Only their friends can comment on their videos. And that kind of approach matters because feeling confident and comfortable about these platforms your teenagers are on shouldn't mean digging through a bunch of menus and trying to set everything up yourself and worrying that you got it wrong.

28:15TikTok is taking a proactive approach. Their protections are built in from the moment those teenagers join so that safety and peace of mind for parents is there right from the start. All of this is to say, when safety comes first, discovery and creativity can follow without fear. Learn more by going to TikTok.com slash Guardians Guide. That's TikTok.com slash Guardians Guide. So President Trump has been asked about Joe Kent. And his answer was pretty clear. But he basically says it's a good thing that Joe Kent is no longer in the administration. When somebody is working with us that says they don't think Iran was a threat. We don't want those people. So President Trump defiant in this moment. Blake, you're take on his reaction kind of what we might have. I think that I think that's about the least surprising thing ever. And you know, that's why I brought it up at the start. If your goal is to influence President Trump in one direction or another because he is a guy who can tilt different ways.

29:21There's no substitute for proximity. The person who cares who listens most to the people who are around him the most. He's the person who he prioritizes loyalty, people who stay on the team. And so if you're going to make a big stunt of leaving and kind of denouncing the process, even if his letter is still worded so it's not blaming the president, you know, it's like these bad advisors have led the president astray. The president is going to see what he really meant there. And yeah, now he's out. And I guess to the extent you, you know, we care about more pro-peace people influence the president. That's one less voice down and he's pretty annoyed at the way he went out. And I think that might affect his attitude going forward. Yeah, I got another constituent or near constituent. He was never in Congress, but Vernon says I live in Joe's district and attended a half dozen of his town halls during his campaign. The general times with him and my impression is that he is genuine and a patriot. Male and voting in Washington cheated him twice against the socialist.

30:23So I was happy to see him get a position in the administration. I feel like he is just against any Warren believes we should be helping our own country. Okay, that's fine. Roger says, uh, so frustrating. Joe can't tell you Republicans is like hurting cats. It's very, it's very, very true. A lot of you got a lot of emails about the Muslim conversation we just had with Coach Tuberville. Roger says exactly all good. Mohamedans want to take over all toward the caliphate. Yeah, well, a lot of a lot of a lot of a reaction here. So thanks for sending your emails. And I want to tell you about a story here that's just I'm so frustrated about it. This is this illegal immigrant Israel Flores Ortiz 18 turning 19. He's charged with nine counts of assault and battery for allegedly groping multiple girls at a Fairfax high school in Virginia in the hallways. And we're not just talking, you know, groping on the on top.

31:28We're talking all over the place and it's really disgusting. I was just so infuriated by this story. I wanted to make sure we got to it. Here's the news report cut 21. Fairfax County leaders allowed him allowed him to attend high school. And parents say he groped female classmates for months. Prosecutors have now charged him with nine counts of assault and battery. He came to the United States illegally from El Salvador in 2024. He enrolled as a junior in high school victims say he would creep up behind them and crowded hallways and grabbed them between their legs. DHS and ICE are asking the nation's sanctuary leaders to turn him over for deportation. But the new laws under the Democrat governor don't allow that. So Israel Flores Ortiz is currently being held without bond at the Fairfax County Attention Center which is operated by the County Sheriff's Office. According to its website, it does not honor ICE administrative detainers.

32:30So here's a story where an illegal immigrant who came in under Biden now goes to a high school. He's a grown man at 19 years old and he's coming up behind young American women and grabbing them between the legs. And we can't get rid of this person because the Democrats said they were going to be moderates and we're going to put in Spanberger and look at her. She looks so normal and she wins. And now the first thing that they did was say that we're not going to cooperate with ICE and DHS. And so now now young American women at a high school where they should be safe and protected and nurtured are getting grouped between the legs by an illegal and we can't get rid of them. I mean, that's the entire point. Like, that is the point. There is no rock bottom to this. We have seen this in country after country. We mentioned the UK. UK is a good harbinger of this. Even though they have a lower immigrant population than us, they're more deranged in what they put up with there, which is they had a huge number of Muslims from the most backward part of the world come in.

33:36These Muslims were literally targeting young girls who were native to Britain and like gang raping them. And police knew about this and covered it up to make sure that it would continue to happen. They continue to cover it up to make sure that it continues to happen. And they lie about it and they continue to bring in more and more of them while these guys will like gloat on TikTok about how awesome it is that they're taking over the UK. And so same deal here. Like, it would be trivial. It would be trivial for the left to accept. Oh, actually, yeah, okay, criminals, you can send them back. Like, we won't let you go into these certain areas. Like, they could choose a moderate position. They affirmatively refuse to do so. They want unlimited criminals from the third world to come to America and continue to pray on Americans, hurt Americans, rape Americans, kill Americans because it would be easy to stop that and they do not want it stopped. Period. Yeah, they don't they don't want it stopped. And then you combine that with the Save America Act, which they are vehemently coming out against despite the polling because again, they their whole system requires them to import more and more foreign born voters.

34:50Get them on the rolls. Get them taken your welfare so they never leave. And then not allowing ice to deport the illegals, even the criminals. So, so this is a good point, Blake. You know, we have this conversation about the worst first and the criminal thugs. That's who we're focusing on versus we're getting all of them out. This is what happens when you when you give them an inch, they will take a mile. If you just say we're going to get the worst first, they won't even honor that. They will pass laws like they did in Virginia where you can't even get the worst out. There is no definition of the worst first where a 19 year old man who's groping the crutches of young girls at a high school is not the worst first. This is sexual assault. This is disgusting. We don't do that in America. And if you do that in America, you get thrown in prison. And now we can't even get them out of the country. This is the insanity of the left. This is the world that they want to create where it's always systemic oppression. They're always the victims. No, the girls that he groped with the victims. The little girls are the victims. Their parents, their families are the victims.

35:55This monster needs to be put on a plane straight to C cut and let bouquet like deal with them. Okay. It's an El Salvadorian illegal that is a is a absolute monster in a criminal needs to be removed immediately not put on some voter roll. That's what they want to do. They want to put this guy on the voter rolls to go harass more young women. So when you're tempted to doom and gloom and look at like the podcaster wars or whatever we're calling it, just remember that Democrats are unacceptable. Just just remember that because the burn it all down folks that want to go vote, tell you to vote for Democrats right now because we've got to rebuild the GOP in a more ideological, pure image. It's garbage because when you do that, we like more of these more genuinely losers. They don't care. They are losers that are not part of the process to even improve the GOP. I wasn't expecting this. I have to say, but death of recess, it stopped me in my tracks. This isn't about dodgeballs and jungle gyms. It's about control. The modern American classroom didn't just happen. It was intentionally designed.

36:58It was standardized and centralized. And once you see who built it and who protects it, everything clicks. Billions of dollars are flowing through education bureaucracies every year. Test scores collapse. And somehow the answer is always more money and less parental authority. The documentary breaks down how organizations like the NEA amassed enormous influence, how radical gender ideology entered classrooms and why something is basic as recess, movement, freedom childhood, you know, had to go. That's not random. That's systemic institutions protect themselves. They do not protect your kids. And that's why this documentary exists on angel studio streaming platform angel guild. Angel guild is willing to distribute films that challenge powerful systems when legacy media won't touch them. So right now go to angel.com slash Charlie and watch death of recess right now. If you're a parent or plan to be you need to see this, that's angel.com slash Charlie and watch death of recess.

38:00Got a lot of feedback from a lot of people on our little rant about this legal, groping young young girls at the Fairfax Virginia High School. I think a lot of you share my irritants, my irritation about that. It's more than that though. It's anger. Americans have been victimized by wave after wave of a legal immigration. We did not have to do this. We didn't with us with a choice that we made. And by the way, it's not just legal immigration. It's legal immigration that needs to be reformed. That's something that we talk a lot about. And get a lot of feedback, by the way, as well from the audience about coach Tuberville basically calling out the Senate saying we're not going to get the Save America act passed. So we need to be we need to be willing to blow up the filibuster to do it. And I think he seems to think we have 50 votes. I think we need to do that in some legal immigration reform. How about it? There was we're waiting for our next guest here. It's why we're waiting. I'm going to play some clips from a debate for Senate and Kentucky.

39:04Nate Morris is who we've endorsed in that race. He's a great American. And he was going after some of these exact issues. Let's play cut 11. Well, look, there's one candidate on this stage that's been very clear about immigration from the beginning. That's this campaign. I've called for a full moratorium on any new immigration until we deport every single illegal that came into this country under Joe Biden. Folks, we were invaded. They've all got to go back 100%. And we shouldn't give a dime of your taxpayer money to any illegal. There are people on this stage, like Andy Barr, that have let illegals run wild into our country, naturalize them and given them all kinds of opportunities that should have gone to American citizens. Perfectly said by Nate Morris. That's why Charlie endorsed him. That's why we're endorsing them. Like, what do you think that it's going to take to get immigration moratorium? This idea of it mainstreamed within the conservative political establishment. It's very mainstream with the base. There's an old line about scientists that science moves forward one funeral at a time that there are people who are stuck in old ideas. They don't update. I mean, in general, we have a very old Congress.

40:13How often do people who are really old completely change their worldview, completely adopt new ways of thinking? And the answer is, I mean, there are some exceptions. But the answer is, it doesn't happen a lot. Most of the time, people get pretty set in their ways by middle age, by later age. And so the main way this is going to happen is we're going to be getting new lawmakers. So that's why we need to champion guys like Morris. And, you know, think about as much as we complain about Congress, there's so much better than they were a decade ago. And that was the process of getting in new guys that you have JD Vance come in to the Senate. You have Tuberville come into the Senate. You have guys who are more, I don't know, hip with the new ideas of the of the younger base. And, you know, people rise in a steam, you know, Steven Miller goes from this 30 something Senate staffer to this senior aid in the White House. That is what gradually brings it about. So even if it's not everyone coming around to it yet, I think you'll eventually get there because it's an idea whose time has come. Yeah, well, I think this is interesting to place off of our are sort of it wasn't a debate, but it was a back to back yesterday with Paul Dans and Mark Lynch that are working to unseat Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. I have gotten so much feedback. We posted both of those debates on my X feed.

41:29There was most of those interviews on my X feed, but they're back to back. I had people coming out of the woodwork people that I haven't heard from in a long time repost that that back to back. I want to hear from you in the audience. Who do you want to see be the next senator from the state of South Carolina? Do you like Paul Dans? Do you like Mark Lynch? I don't know Blake. If you if you have an opinion after interviewing both of them, but I think that's. That's an interesting one. I think I have my favorite. You know, I don't I think they both had their pluses. I haven't super deeply investigated the differences between them. I think they both made good points. I think organically I'm probably a little bit closer to. Dan's attitude. I mean, he was helping project 2025. I really liked project 2025. He's he's got that like legal bureaucrat mindset when he's talking when he's saying stuff. Oh, we need to have American graduate students again. Because we've had too many foreigners coming to play. That's something I've talked about. That's something you're not going to hear a lot of political candidates talk about. So he's certainly I think closer to my approach to things.

42:36But I don't want to make an endorsement yet because I think I think they both had you know merits. Well, I think that there's a lot to like about both of them. I loved Mark Lynch going after radical Islam. He pulled no punches. I think he's a man of God. I think he's got great character. I love that Paul Dans is is very fiery and he wants to prosecute evil doers. I think that's a huge boost of energy that we need in the Senate going after people like Fauci going after fraud going after legal immigrants. I love all that and the project 25 2025 thing is you know, listen, I don't necessarily think it was the best thing during the campaign. Obviously President Trump tried to distance himself from it, but there's so much good in project 2025. There are so many good ideas that would genuinely make the country a better place. And the fact that Paul Dans was the architect of those plans is definitely a positive in his direction.

43:39I like that he's younger, you know, you think about South Carolina Blake and you've got a state where, you know, we have a safe Republican seat at least now. And we've been wasting it for how many years on Lindsey Graham. Like the Democrats would never do that. You would get an actual like rock ribbed true believer if you were a Democrat. But what do we get? We get these, these squishes that talk out of both sides of their mouth. And they don't represent the grassroots. Well, I think it's time to fix that in South Carolina. I too am not sure I'm ready to endorse. I will say I like both of them. I think I, I mean, maybe I should just say it. I would probably be leaning towards dance. That's where I'm at. But I like both of them. So it's up to the voters to decide. I want to hear what you guys think. Send us an email. Freedom at Charlie Kirk.com. Freedom at Charlie Kirk.com. Let us know who did you prefer after our back. It's so funny. You say that just because we instantly get two emails. One from Janie says Mark Lynch definitely and then one from Gerard says I'm for Paul Dans like right like that.

44:43Yeah. So I mean that each of them has some appeal to different people today. That's the problem in South Carolina. You've got to get to a runoff. One of these men. If they if they dropped out. I think would really put a lot of energy in the sales of the other gentleman. Mark Lynch has more money. So that's going to be in his favor. But I think Paul Dans to me feels a bit more like the grassroots guy. So we'll see what happens there. Send us your emails. Freedom at Charlie Kirk.com. Hi folks. Andrew Colvet here. I'd like to tell you about my friends over at YRIFI. You've probably been hearing me talk about YRIFI for some time now. We are all in with these guys. If you or someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt. Take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're behind on your payments. Maybe you're even in default. You don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. YRIFI will provide you a custom payment based on your ability to pay. They tailor each loan individually. They can save you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.

45:47We go to campuses all over America. We see student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt. Many of them don't even know how much they owe. YRIFI can help. Just go to YRIFI.com. That's the letter Y, then RIFI.com. And remember, YRIFI doesn't care what your credit score is. Just go to YRIFI.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you. We got Rich Barrison. Rich, I told everybody in the audience that I, you know, I'm been used to, if I want to get depressed, I call you and I say, how bad is it Rich? And you're sort of famous for that now on the internet. But you and I were texting yesterday. Let me say you're notorious for it now on the internet. We're texting yesterday and you're like, listen, I feel I actually feel pretty good today. And I was like, okay, well, you're coming on the show that you got to make up for the last time. So give us some good news. What's your good news? So I just think that Democrats are in this crazy transition time. All right. And whether how much this will help Republicans going into November, I think it's, you know, debatable, reasonably debatable.

46:57But I, I would tell Republicans who are worried about the coalition and you know I am that Democrats are a mess. And they have a very difficult time holding things together and not overreacting or, you know, they're like honing a good message right now. But what they do with that message, if and when they win with it is totally different, Andrew, they don't agree on it at all. They don't even know which way they want to go for, you know, a nominee, which is things that, you know, parties normally work out. And sometimes it works out for the best. We saw that with Barack Obama. He came out as a stronger candidate. No way when they went through that process. Republicans certainly came out with the stronger candidate and Donald Trump when they went through a similar process. I think the difference is now is that Democrats are just crazy. I mean, there's no nice way to put it. I tried to always sound objective, but the fact is they're way outside the mainstream with average American voters.

47:57So it means they need to pay all of that more attention, you know, to their message and be all more disciplined with that message. A great example of that is, you know, I was talking ironically with a reporter from CNN yesterday and I use the similar example, which was they thought with, you know, with getting, for instance, gay marriages, right. All right. They were able to move the over to win on over to window on that. But then they misinterpret it and they took it as all right. Now we're just going to chop off the genitalia of little kids too. Like they just thought they had all of this and they went into the, they went too far and they went into the trans movement and they just went nuts. They have a tendency to do that. They're not the old Democratic party. They used to be. So, you know, rich. But, but like that, you're talking about 2028. What about the midterms? I mean, there's, you know, you had Joe Kent leaving this morning announcing his, his departure from the administration.

49:00President Trump says, good, you know, we don't want those guys around. I mean, it was predictable response. You know, but you know, there is, we've got Iran going on. We've got affordability. There's economics things to consider. Most people just care about how much money to have in their wallet at the end of the month. What? Okay. So this bodes well for 2028. Is there any good news for the midterms? Well, you said stay positive. What am I positive about? Welcome to not. I'm just guys. I mean, I, I tried to scream and yell for almost a year now about how to fix 2026. There is still roughly an 18% chance historically that Republicans couldn't turn it around so much that they even win the National House popular vote, but it is just 18%. I think that there have been decisions made that sent the Republican party on a course. You know, we have a habit of saying, you know, it's eight months for now. It's nine months for now. It's still a lot of time. But the truth is there are macro, you know, we can start to get a macro view of things and look back at previous election cycles when, you know, parties had reasons.

50:09There was like a real mitigating factor that contributed to them being able to turn it around or overperform Democrats, a great example in 22. They overperformed, but there were key things that happened that year that allowed them to overperform in certain places. And that was their get out the vote, which is a big deal. I mean, here's you want positivity. I'll give you positivity. Seriously, and I'm this isn't, you know, glazing. You have people like you guys and Tyler out there, you know, with chased the vote. This is enormously important. All right, Democrats are much more decentralized, which I know is weird. It's kind of ironic. You have the party of centralized government who decentralizes their get out the vote. But in fact, the matter is Republican still do have a playbook that worked for them in 24. You know, the Democrats still have a ground game. It's incredible. But they have a larger ground game by far, by far. Yeah, but, you know, but look what happens when you have just a few competent groups that that put together efforts like you guys and others and Elon's back on the train. Right. He's going to he's going to be around that was a major concern.

51:16Because, of course, he definitely played a role in 24. So, you know, there's we're not helpless is what I'm saying. We're not rich. I want to get your reaction to this new you go of economist generic ballot here. So it what the and I want to highlight it because if you look at the dates on February 16 because they run this poll every week. It was Democrats plus seven. Now it's down to Democrats plus two. Are you seeing similar trends in some of the other polls in your own internal polls? Yeah, I think I was just bringing up two morning console. They had a much narrower margin. It is widening again. I think there's widened back to D plus eight in the days following that. I think it might be honestly, Andrew. It may be a little bit of a war, you know, a rally around the flag still effect. You know, I was looking at it in our polling. I did see a tightening. We're also seeing a bit of a widening out again. But here is honestly the difference. We're starting already us anyway, not everyone.

52:16But over here where the real widening comes from a likely voter model, the registered voter, the Democratic advantage on register voter samples is not that big. It's really not and some weeks it's two points. That's it. You know, so where are they coming up with these bigger leads from and why are they outperforming in a lot of these races? We saw this year and last year, it's just a matter of who's turning out to vote. If Republicans vote, you know, it changes the entire equation. It's suddenly things get very, very close, very quick. But that's been their challenge. That's been their challenge. You know, that's why we got to chase the vote. I mean, you have to chase the vote. So, yeah. So, Harry Enten, your favorite had a segment on CNN basically saying 90% of the Republican base support the war in Iran. What are you seeing on that front? Look, you know, first of all, you know, it's funny. Somebody like Harry Enten would suddenly be an authority on the Maga base or the polls that he chooses to cherry pick would suddenly be an authority on the Maga base.

53:16There's like two pollsters in the entire country who know how to poll Maga and that's about it. The rest of them get lucky sometimes and don't other times. We may be the one who's been polling Maga as asking people, are you or are you not Maga longer than anybody else? The fact is, Maga has shrunk. So, you know, you can get into certain numbers, but we were trying to stay positive today, right? Andrew, so I won't. But, you know, there's a purification through subtraction going on, which I think is important for people to understand. And the people that have been subtracted are what I'm calling like, you know, all the winning parts, right? The younger voters, the younger, especially black men, Hispanics, right? And by the way, I think we don't talk enough about how much better Donald Trump did with younger women in 2024. They have been one of the. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, we just ignore that. They have slipped the most in our polling. They, they, some of it have to deal with Epstein, some of the more than I like the war, they.

54:17Maha. Maha big. Rich, Rich, I got a posit right there, my brother. Thank you for coming on. I know a little scheduling faux pas. So thank you, my friend. We'll talk with you guys. Chase the vote. Before he ever stepped behind a microphone, Charlie understood something important. Leadership begins with learning. He didn't chase a diploma or a title. He chased truth through Hillsdale, colleges, free online courses. He studied the great works of the classics, the principles of the American founding and the life changing truths of the Bible. Those ideas didn't just inform him. They shaped his character, strengthened his convictions and prepared him for the challenges ahead of one of the courses he took was the Genesis story, taught by Hillsdale professor, Dr. Justin Jackson. This free online course explores the relationship between God and man, what happens when that relationship is broken and the path toward reconciliation. It's a real college course, rigorous, thoughtful and accessible to anyone willing to learn. You can take the very same course completely free, grow stronger in your faith, gain clarity about humanity in your place in the world, prepare yourself for a life with courage and conviction.

55:25Visit Charlie for Hillsdale.com to enroll today. That's Charlie for Hillsdale.com learn deeply, lead boldly, carry it forward. I want to welcome to the show now, Wynton Hall. He's the author of a new book, Code Red about AI. It's getting all kinds of traction. If you haven't heard about it yet, the stories from this book are going viral, his interviews are going viral. It's interesting as well because Wynton is a former ghost writer and he's a social media director at Breitbart and it's like him and Joshua Lysick are like the revenge of the ghost writers. The brains behind these books are now coming out with their own books and they're of course doing extraordinarily well. So welcome to the show, Wynton Hall. It's an honor to have you. It's a great honor to be here. Thank you so much. Long time Breitbart behind the scenes guy and now you're kind of emerging, why did you start with Code Red, this AI story, the left, the right, China and the race to control AI?

56:29Yeah, it's a great question. I've enjoyed a long career in writing many, many, many books. And this one I felt like I needed to come out of the shadows because we don't have a lot of time and particularly for conservatives to get ready for the 5D political chess game that's about to emerge with this AI acceleration. I think President Trump and Vice President Vance are doing an exceptional job at the national level with their leadership. But I think at the grassroots we have to understand that AI is not just a tool. It is political power and that power is going to decide whether we indoctrinate or educate our kids. It's going to affect how we erase or create jobs. And obviously right now we're seeing in the Iran and Venezuela conflagrations the way it's AI warfare is affecting the battlefield. We've got to be ready and I just don't think we are, you know Elon Musk says a supersonic tsunami is what AI is heading at humanity. We've seen Dario Amade just recently said that we got 12 months to five years until half of white color entry level jobs are wiped out.

57:35And we're hearing Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleiman say 18 to 12 months. So if you thought there was a tsunami offshore and you saw it from the beach and you said I only have, you know, this limited amount of time you do everything you can to try to get people as prepared as possible. And that's really why I took on code red with this one. Yeah, Winston. I think this is the sort of thing. A lot of people are aware of AI. A lot of people are using it. They use it casually. They're seeing it and come into their workplaces. But people I talked to who are really in the know they'll say the biggest issue in America right now, the biggest issue in this admin right now. It's not Iran. It's not even immigration. One of the things they tell me the biggest question right now is. Is AI basically going to be woke is AI going to have left wing assumptions baked into it or not. And we saw a flare up of that with the fight over anthropic, which a lot of people in DC were paying attention to. I don't know how much that penetrated the normal, the normie sphere as it were. But can you explore that? Can you can you break down how important that really is?

58:38Oh, it's such a brilliant and important question. So you have to understand that the anthropic folks are very deeply politically involved. First of all, their donations since 2020 $200 million to democratic causes. OK, so this is a highly highly ideologically engaged group. The second thing is that when you look at the bias point that you brought out, the very first chapter of code red is on the hidden persuasion of AI. And right now literally five minutes or so before I got on, we just put it up on Breitbart's lead story and it's breaking from code red, which is that Google Gemini has smeared seven GOP senators. And vice president vans and secretary Rubio as in violation of their quote hate speech policies and yet zero Democrats. Now that's their Google Gemini AI. And so what I did in the a lot of the, you know, I spent two years investigating this book, but even just recently looking at it, this is no question.

59:44A peer reviewed academic journal literature has concluded numerous times that leading LLM, that is large language models, are overwhelmingly biased toward a leftward direction and I explained why and the training data and all the rest of it. We, this is as good as it's ever going to get for right of center conservative people in terms of woke bias because they know the big tech companies know that you have a house, the Senate and the White House, and they have huge regulatory override ability to affect their business. The minute that Democrats get into power, if and when that happens, the big tech elite are going to default to their scanning band sensor ship, you know, blacklist and demonetized instincts that we saw under the Biden years. So this is, that's why I call it a code red moment to two reasons, one, an alert, an alarm, and two that are side of the ball, the conservative side, the red team politically, has to have a code. We have to have a set of principles, we have to have a set of solutions, and that's why I really try to not just write a dimmer screen, but really lay out what we can do on a personal level as well as the politics.

1:00:49Yeah, that's all remarkable, and I'm thinking there's a writer, there's a blogger on sub-stack who has a series of posts that I'm sure you're familiar with, Arctotherium, and he had a whole breakdown where he's asking each of the AIs, he's giving them a bunch of resumes and then asking these AIs, who would you hire? And without telling them to do this, without instructing them to do this, the AIs are naturally, for example, engaging in racial discrimination, like they'll discriminate against white people or against men, against straight people, because that is just what's going into the pot on these AIs is all of the discrimination, all the woke stuff we've had, and people don't even know about this. If you're just asking an AI to do this for you, if you could say, oh, AI, a higher 50 engineers for me, it's going to do that, even if you might not even be thinking about it. That is exactly right, and the bias is baked in, as you rightly point out, and the corpus of most modern LLM enterprise level chatbots AI, or you're talking about a couple of bases of information.

1:01:52One Wikipedia, which we know is far left, and is constantly smearing conservatives, and then locking their pages so that they're not allowed to edit, and correct them. Number two is Reddit, which leans left. The three is peer-reviewed academia, which obviously we have no about university bias, and the problems we have in education, obviously, Charlie fought against that, and better than anybody. And the other thing, of course, is something called the Common Crawl, which is the open, open internet, a huge data set there. The final thing, though, is that they have these very lucrative deals with left-of-center publishers. There are only a few people that are in the center that have these kind of deals, and think about this. If I give you $50 million to buy the archives of, let's say, the New York Times, or the LA Times, or Time Magazine, or the Nation, or the Atlantic, that does two things. One, it's a subsidy to a left-leaning outlet to be able to stay in business and make payroll.

1:02:52But the other thing it does is it bakes in all those years and years and years of bias, left-leaning, reporting by those organizations into the training data. So it's garbage in, garbage out, and that feedback loop, that self-reinforcement feedback loop, becomes very, very toxic for just getting straight factual information. And so one of the things I do in Code Red is I literally lay out all the contracts. Here's the money flow, just old-style, follow the money kind of journalism. And let people just know the kind of bias and how big of money is flowing between these companies and the far-left builders. So Winston, another thing that we're getting, we get emails sometimes, I know this is popping up more on the right, is this hostility towards data centers, hostility towards some of the infrastructure that goes into AI. So you having analyzed it, what do you think the right posture of conservatives should be towards AI? Like, it feels to me like it's probably a doomed venture to just say, oh, let's push back on the development of it.

1:03:58It seems more important that we need to control and influence and make sure it does not go in that disastrous direction. And so you've got about a minute and a half if you can answer that. And like, what should the administration be doing to bring AI to heal, so to speak? That's one of the more positive recent developments. President Trump and vice president Vance did an amazing job with the rate payer protection pledge, which what they did was they sat down with the heads of all of these large AI and tech builders and hyperscalers, and they said, look, we do not want working class communities to have to foot the bill for higher energy prices in the form of their electric bills, their water bills. Just because you want to build some giant data center in their backyard, that's exactly the right posture and not only will this pledge that President Trump broker not only will it make those big tech behemoths pay for upgrading those infrastructure pieces and the electric overflows.

1:04:59It will actually potentially lower the cost of local communities, water bills and electric bills because they're going to do a lot of modernization of their rickety grids. And so I think that's the kind of proactive leadership we need, which is exactly what you said, which is, look, AI is a reality, 99% of us use it, even though 64% of us don't even realize sometimes when we're using it because it's baked into our weather apps and other devices. But I think if we can get ahead of those landmines and avert them, we're going to be able to hopefully navigate our way through one of the biggest and most disruptive fast moving technological innovations we've ever encountered. All right, Wynton, you freaked me out right at the beginning and Blake kind of stepped in for me there. And so you're saying we've got what, 18 months till like, you know, the job apocalypse comes? Well, I hate to figure out even more. Actually, there are some estimates that says few is 12 months, but here's the reality. Okay, and we all have to understand this 5D chess game that's being played here.

1:06:03And I walk through and code red the whole economic chapter here. You have forces all the way from Elon Musk to Dario Amidead on Thropic to Mustafa Suleiman at Microsoft AI. And they are all giving you these very, very dire job apocalypse wipeouts. They're doing that because of something called agentic AI. What is that? It's AI that I actually can do the work. This is not what most people are used to a chatbot. It's an AI agent. It can take real action. It can open up a browser. It can open up a bank account and it can do that autonomously over a task threshold. That is accelerating very, very quickly. Okay. And it's scaling the white collar job, cognitive work, not moving atoms in the world, blue collar work. Ironically, those folks are less in risk of automation. The real, the real question is this. Are they bluffing to raise capital to say, hey, we're creating this labor replacing technology. It's going to be the trillion dollar opportunity. Are they doing it to raise capital?

1:07:05Are they number two, just ideologically driven to want to scare people toward universal basic income and wealth redistribution? Or number three, are they just genuinely worried about human civilization and they're just trying to alert everybody? I think the reality is that there really is going to be real major job disruption. It doesn't mean that you're going to lose your job, but what Jensen Wong at Nvidia has said for a long time, you won't lose your job to AI. You'll lose your job to someone who has mastered and knows how to use AI. A lot of people hear that and they go, that still sounds like I'm losing my job. So what is the best way to be prepared? Number one, I think that you should future proof yourself and understand your industry's use of the technology. Number two, if you're a parent or a grandparent, you have absolutely got to understand the implications of AI and the risks to eroding critical thinking, cognitive offloading, certainly the AI companions and AI girlfriend physical risks.

1:08:06But the best thing you can do is this, the future is not going to be about teaching our children to find jobs. It's going to be teaching our children to create jobs. And what do I mean by that? I mean entrepreneurship. So if we build the trivia, the classics of education that Charlie and others have educated for so well, you know, logic, grammar and rhetoric. Number two, we then give them the tools of entrepreneurship to understand how to create opportunity, create a small business. And then third and finally keep them abreast of AI. You've really built a little bit of a moat to the degree that you're going to be able to around your child or your grandchild so that they're going to be able to navigate this. I had somebody yesterday who has a middle school child and they said, what do I even tell my child to major in in college if they're going to college. And that's the problem here. This train is moving at warp speed. And so the answer is no one knows the answer to that in six years. And so the best thing you can do is prepare them to be able to create a job not to just have to fill out a resume.

1:09:10Winston Hall authored the new book Code Red, a really important offering. I mean, listen, we talked about AI on the show for years now. And I think this is you've given one of the most concise and compelling presentations of this. Everybody check out Code Red, Winston Hall with our friends over at Breitbart doing great work. Congratulations. And, you know, future proofing is now going to be in my lexicon. Well, thank you. And thank you for what you do and for what you do to keep. Thank you. Charlie's legacy alive. We're so grateful for it. Thank you, Winston. God bless you, man. We'll talk to you soon. All right. Blake, we've got a lot of emails. We asked for emails like a storm today. Yeah, we asked for emails about the Kent thing and about the South Carolina race a lot are pouring in. So I want, I thought we could take a few minutes to read a few of them. This is one. I think it's pretty good. This is Lucas talking about Kent. I would like to hear Kent justify how allowing an Islamic death cult to become an imminent threat with nuclear material is a good idea.

1:10:15And he says later Trump has my full support. If this action exceeds three months, I'll be pissed. Two months rather annoyed, one month disappointed, but not surprised. The most unfortunate part of the whole thing is now that Kent resigned with a stupid selfish letter. The media and lib tards in Congress will run with it and fill the media cycle with this story. And I think I think that's the attitude of a lot of people that even if they're skeptical of the war, especially if it goes long, they also trust the president. And their mad that someone in our own coalition is sort of doing this big stunt that seems to damage the administration. We got a lot of emails about Dan's versus Lynch. David says lean slightly for Dan's, but would be happy with Lynch, if not anyone, but Lindsey coming from a lifelong Republican. Cara said Dan's came across as rough and easily rattled. But if he becomes more polished and succinct, otherwise I have no preference right now.

1:11:17Do you have any favorites on your end, Andrew? Patrick says Mark Lynch has Christian family values, honor and sacredness, living sacraments. You know, so there's a lot of emails that you guys are sending off that seem to resonate with Mark Lynch's. Just his presentation. He says he does. He did seem a little bit more polished a little more put together. Obviously he's a successful businessman has that has that sort of pedigree. So a lot of that that I'm seeing. I just think it's, it's tough because they're, I mean, I think genuinely they're both would be great candidates. I tend to lean towards Dan's. I think they're both great, just to be clear. And I think the most important thing because people are saying, you know, someone says Chris says the problem in South Carolina is two or three go against limpsy. Limpsy is what he calls him. And then the pool is diluted and he comes out with the majority. We should have one candidate before. I don't know the case. I think he needs 50% if you get him below 50% you go to a runoff. I think the important thing is we don't, we can't have these two candidates hate each other. They should pledge right now that they'll be supporting the other over Lindsey when this goes to a runoff.

1:12:22I think that's the most important thing. It needs to go to a runoff. And in my last pitch for, for Dan's, he's just younger. And I hate to say it, but we want somebody in office that's going to have a nice runway here for many years to come. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust go to charliekirk.com.
