The Psy-Op to Delegitimize America

About this episode

The left is getting children and even kindergartners to join nationwide "walkouts" to protest ICE. Meanwhile, at the Grammys, stars denounce America as a nation of "stolen land," and the mayor of Boston says the entire planet has the right to move to America. Everything about this works in concert: It's a bid to use highly emotional images and rhetoric to delegitimize America. The show team unpacks the agenda, then talks to Rich Baris about an unfortunate special election down in Texas.

My 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 USA college chapter. Go start a turning point USA 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,

and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers. All right. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk show February 2nd, 2026. Blake, how you doing? Doing great. Happy, happy Monday. Is that a thing? Do we say happy Monday? People don't know. I mean, I'm happy to be here. I really am. I had a great weekend. But I'm ready. It's an acceptable Monday. It's an acceptable one day. Dan Bongino's back. He is. I saw his show this morning. I was trying to tune in while we were doing show prep just to see if he was going to be throwing some jabs and some elbows. I thought it was fairly contained. He was going over his first year or his only year at the FBI. I thought it was good. Check it out. Our friend Dan. Dan's been a good friend for a long time. Good friend with Charlie. Actually, you know, he gave a shout out to Charlie. I don't usually do this, but I appreciated it. And I was actually saw this part in a mental hot 281. I can't do this show today without a couple of remembrances as well of folks we lost. Obviously, Charlie being first. Charlie was a great friend of mine. We used to discuss everything.

You know, the movement, the audience shows. You see this picture of me and him and Charlie. I miss him like you all did. I was my guy there. And it's good man. I miss that hair. We love you Charlie. Charlie was the bridge man. It was Charlie knew everybody and Charlie made everybody feel like a friend. Sorry. Thanks brother. That was a kind moment. A lot of people sent me that clip this morning. So I'll know a lot of you were watching it. So good for Dan. Glad to have him back. It's great to have another saying voice out there in the media ecosystem. Check it out two hours before the show. But anyway, this weekend was a huge, huge anti anti ice demonstration weekend. I feel like that's every weekend. That's wow. But they did it all over the country. And there was a bunch we got to go over because the propaganda is ratcheted up to 10 out of 10. Minneapolis, Portland, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco. We're about to have the Super Bowl in San Francisco.

Austin, Texas, Boston, Massachusetts, Chicago, Illinois, Washington, DC, Tucson, Arizona. Good old Tucson had to get into the mix. There was some, I think there was a march in old town Scottsdale as well. It was small, but you know, there was people there. And it's, it's just, I mean, we've got student walkouts on Friday, all these high schools, middle schools. This is when you know it's getting really disgusting is when the lives involve your children. The propaganda, propagandizing your children to get them to hate the country, hate law enforcement, call them Nazis, Gestapo. But that's what they do. And like, I know you've been doing research on this because in it, and I just, it just has to be said that they want. This is the communist playbook. They try and get in the middle of a parental relationship with their kids, indoctrinate them. And especially in this country, when you got all these LGBTQ, whatever's going around, they don't pro create. So they're going to groom your children to do their dirty work.

So there's the Catholic religious sort of the Jesuits who used to be great. They're very not great now. We don't need to get into all of that, but they used to run a lot of schools. And there was a saying they would say, like, give me the child to the age of seven, and I will give you the man. And the idea was the education you get when you're at your youngest shapes how you are for the rest of your life. Those are the assumptions you carry with you, the moral beliefs that are the hardest to pull out basically. And this, by the way, this has been proven sociologically. A child's personality is essentially formed at age seven. And think how kind of messed up it is that this is not a thing that historically ever happened before that once your child is about five years old these days, we keep moving kindergarten earlier and earlier, you're five or six years old. They're in school. They're probably around these teachers longer than they're with you every single day. And then they're with their peers most of the rest of the time. And a lot of these people are devout, sincere, insane, left-wing, true believers,

and they'll want to recruit your child for political causes. And they'll have some excuse for why that's okay to do in a public school. And they're very aware that if you can get a child to believe, oh, like, ice is evil when they're in second grade. It's going to be very hard to ever pull that moral assumption out. And yeah, it's a classic communist playbook. There was a child, Pavlik Morazov. And he was a boy who was murdered by his dad. And what the Soviet authority said is he'd been killed because he denounced his father to the Soviet authorities. Or I believe he denounced his father and then family members killed him. What the story was, it was not the full story. But basically, the Soviets made a kind of political cult around the idea of children denouncing their parents for having the wrong beliefs. And we're going to get the same thing here. If you're a parent who supports ice, who supports having a border, who supports deportations, and your child's in public schools, you have to be aware that there are teachers in these schools, counselors in these schools, officials in these schools, who are basically telling your kids every day that your parents are bad.

Your parents are evil. Well, it makes me think of, and by the way, you're seeing a graphic there, that video, if you want to put that back up. That is a montage or sort of like a compilation of elementary school students doing anti-ice walkouts. Elementary students. So we're talking between the ages of five and 11 or 12. Because that's where six great cut off. This is truly disgusting stuff that they're involving your kids in their propaganda and their lies. And you got to think what they did with the trans stuff, right, where they create these sanctuary cities, these sanctuary states for trans, they can rip your children away from you if you do not support their gender identity. Are we at the precipice of getting the same type of policies in blue jurisdictions, where they can take your kids away if you support ice? You've got to ask the question. But let's just go through some of these clips here. 41 46. These are high school students doing a walk out,

we're Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, we're for the Mexicans. Go ahead. Free my corn man. I can't go down the path of the corn god. This is a Seattle middle school teacher. She starts crying. these young kids they get it 232 they just left but I don't know why it's making me so emotional yeah middle school kids middle school kids they know that that everything that's going on in this administration is it's not okay night we'll never understand why anyone thinks that that it's okay no I guess I don't know off the top I don't know just off that if that's a public school or not but it strikes me as inappropriate for a teacher to make political videos in a public school at their workplace social media is right and it's yeah they'll never be held accountable

in a city like Seattle but I I feel I mean I grew up in a Catholic school so even an ideological one and generally I think it would have raised a lot of eyebrows if teachers were super political on any point I think I knew one of my teachers was a Democrat and that's about all she said about that issue and yeah I mean I don't know many of these it's a big it's a break-to-arms liberal lady cries performative tears of joy go ahead 234 there's there's so many kids protesting right here by the gas station I'm so proud of them they're all chanting in the police are there and they're so like they're all holding their signs they're so brave I rolled up and we don't honk oh my god they're so brave nothing says bravery like doing what every single adult in your area is doing

and what the government what your local government authorities are cheering you on as you do if you knew Charlie Kirk you knew this he was a connector Charlie believed in finding good people and connecting them with other good people that he cared about when someone truly took care of him Charlie would never hesitate to recommend them Andrew Del Rey and Todd Evakian were two of those people they personally helped Charlie and Erica with their mortgage needs and Charlie trusted them completely whether it was a home buyer trying to qualify or someone needing to consolidate debt or see if they could get a lower rate in payments these were the guys Charlie sent people to and right now timing matters the market is shifted in rates have come down there's more inventory bidding wars have cooled and buyers finally have more control but that window won't stay open forever as rates come down competition will return that's why being prepared now is so important Andrew and Todd at Union Home Mortgage bring over 40 years of combined experience and guide you through the process clearly no pressure no guesswork these are the people Charlie trusted and they're

the people you can count on reach out today to get approved for mortgage financing with Andrew and Todd at Andrew and Todd.com are called triple eight triple eight 1172 with 40 years of experience they really are the experts and they make it easy because they keep everything in house call triple eight triple eight 1172 or go to Andrew and Todd.com that is Andrew and Todd.com all right so I got to get to this this image it went viral over the weekend and it is an image of a seven year old important Oregon this I mean this little girl looks like just some normal kid off the street not off the street but like you would see them at your school at the park at the movies whatever at a kid's birthday party and she's been pepper sprayed or tear gas it's unclear by law enforcement that's trying to do crowd control let's play this clip she's it's very sad to see it it's terrible to see it 282 she says it's burning notice that there is a woman wearing a

gas mask gas mask you know rinsing out her eyes so the parents take her to an anti ice protest demonstration that gets unruly it gets violent it gets chaotic law enforcement tries to do crowd control near a federal building by the way which is it's so evil it's what they're doing it's super calculated because they know what they're doing they know that okay we go to this we bring children we get rowdy fuss compelling law enforcement to do crowd control stuff and then they can go and say look at these police attacking children and it's 100% a calculated playbook to undermine law enforcement to undermine the law itself and the same way you know we made that I love to make that comparison to frankly the way Hamas operates because they do that too they encourage children to go out and do things that they know will put them in harm's way because they know what will be politically useful if one of them gets killed by something bingo this is this is these are

terrorist tactics so when we call this like low-level seditious that's what it is they this is an organized movement that loves casualties so they engineer situations that will create casualties that'll create images that are evoke emotions that evoke sympathy and then they weaponize those to degrade and destroy the country they are using children as human shield they are using children as human shields I but I have so many thoughts it's like first of all don't bring your kids to a potential riot scene that's child abuse you should have that child probably taken away from you parents seriously it's absolutely disgusting parenting and to Blake's point they want these images they want to weaponize reckless parents that are stupid enough to do this kamikaze caring moms taking their kids there thinking that they're going to show them and the you know the civil rights movement they get to be rose of parks and MLK no you are a disgusting shameful person do not bring your kid to a potential riot scene like in Portland of all places have you not seen the videos of antifa and portland there are there are not

moderate safe kind of you know the protest we know from their arrest records like what like 35% of these people apparently have a prior sex conviction of some kind of course they're all creeps they're all like sexual deviance they are all radical communist godless people that don't care if your child gets hurt what they want is they want your child to get hurt so they can use that image on social media on blue sky on discord and they want to sew discord that's the whole point and so the most important thing is to just recognize that this is an operation an ought being run on you to recognize it and not fall for it and there's actually a great historical example because we're in black history months of people have been on x and stuff they've been talking about rose of parks and you know the story with rose of parks right yep so I do I know the real story yeah exactly the real story and so the interesting thing everyone in school and such got the story where you know she was just tired she was on the bus and she just said no wouldn't get off the bus and that's not really what it was she was actually a trained activist

and the situation was engineered to create a sympathetic story to bring down segregation now in the case of that segregation was evil it entirely made sense for them to do that but the point is they were aware of the power of images the power of stories and that can be used for good or it can be used for ill so an example of good is that's why we want to talk about those innocent people who are killed by illegal immigrants those stories need to be shared because that is how you further the cause of deporting illegal immigrants who don't belong in this country there is a in politics narratives matter an images matter and you have to be aware of both the image you create when you do something and you need to be aware of the images the enemy is trying to create especially if they're trying to do something monumentally evil which they are here they're using children as human shields to let us remind everyone engineer the abolition of America because if we don't have a border we don't have a country there's another story involving a child and we

saw this image out of Minneapolis where the ice agents came up and Liam Canneho a five-year-old was basically the ice came up on his father his father abandoned the child just fled left the five year old so of course the ice agent stood by the child to make sure the child was okay we should have him an image of this five year old so then what happened the Texas federal judge Fred Bieri a Clinton appointee ordered the release of the five year old Liam Canneho and his father from ice detention in Texas so then this whole back and forth so you can see the court ruling there judge Barry Bieri's LinkedIn page shows him liking a post about the protests of President Trump's policies so this judge is actively on social media liking protest posts while releasing this father that abandoned this five year old kid this poor five year old kid he's he's innocent he's done nothing wrong he's just he's just a kid but his dad abandoned him

and so that goes back and forth it creates this whole social media back and forth of you know well sorry to say this kid's already been released and this judge is right and you know many of these either so the left thinks that this guy was legal that he came in legally and JD Vance just did a massive fact check on this because basically what happened during the Biden Biden Harris administration is they created the CBP one app and what this meant is that you could ignore all of our laws sign up on the CBP one app and get straight into the country it didn't matter Joe Biden just ignored immigration laws so now these people are claiming that this guy this father is here legally well he's not and the Trump administration is setting it right more kids getting caught up in the chaos created by Democrats we're going to talk about the Grammys here really quick while we get why we went for rich to join us rich barris the Grammys were this week you probably didn't hear about the Grammys I'm so old that not only do I not care about the Grammys but I mostly haven't heard of the acts being awarded at the Grammys I am seriously

yeah the problem that all the bands I like are now 75-year-old Fogies so here's the deal though the Grammys used to be a pretty important cultural moment they used to be oh come on Blake they did Blake always wanted to count it if you say so they did it was like listen we used to have a culture that everybody worked in the music industry what's that didn't are you sure that's not just because you worked I didn't really work in the music industry no I didn't but no I just remember as a kid you know it was like a it was a appointment viewing and it wasn't really a appointment view but the Grammys just be basically became unwatchable they fell off a cliff the most trashy people on the planet basically get together in Los Angeles and celebrate themselves and back pat and all the stuff but there was so many moments it that came out it's like it if you think the Oscars are terrible try watching the Grammys I dare you you will probably throw up in your own mouth I'm going to give you a smattering of some of the clips that have you know become viral moments

Bony Bear Bon Eiver is a lot of people like to call him Bony Bear says he is wearing a whistle at the Grammys to honor the observers the legal observers that are actually illegal that are obstructing ICE agents in Minneapolis 237 I want to ask about the whistle obviously it's very prominent what does it stand for it's to honor the observers in Minneapolis know they blow the whistles when they see ICE come in and they're there to protect their community and they've been doing it for weeks and 30 below I think the real work is in the streets of Minneapolis right now and I'm here to honor them as well that fakery oh what does that whistle represent you know what the whistle represents protecting their communities who are they protecting their communities from by the way oh that's right child predators and child sex sex traffickers child rapists but it's it's murders drug traffickers I'm so sick of this crap like I just can't get over the amount of lies them but them supporting like oh anti-ice stuff that's almost predictable but there's like a darker

subcurrent to this and I think this clip actually gets at the best of it this is Billy Eilish when she was accept I don't know if I even said that right yeah I think when she's accepting her award 292 no one is illegal on stolen land it's not like the producers were like find a white woman in the crowd just nodding along with the landing that's like that's not just oh I don't like ice that is straight up America's an illegitimate country well stolen land this is why they only do this they only do this with basically the United States Canada Australia New Zealand Israel it's like the four major Anglo countries in Israel where they just say stolen land your country is illegitimate the end result of this is not I have to be nice at the Grammys the end result of this is you will be dispossessed of your country because the line is you don't have the right for your country to exist and this is why every single communist front group always has the anti-colonialist language in it every single one they all pair at the same garbage this same absolute garbage and this is another

this is another one shabuzy yeah shabuzy it's a real really a real thing yeah a country artist by the way black dude who had a big breakout hit I think it was last summer no get right on listening to that it was actually catchy catchy song I have to be honest so yeah it is although I'm assuming caboose is very very upset with me right now yeah he just let me know he's correct I am correct 239 this is shabuzy what a stupid name immigrants built this country let's let's let's talk about that on the other side 239 immigrants built this country literally actually so this is for them for all children of immigrants this is also for those who came to this country and search a better opportunity to be a part of a nation that promised freedom for all the and equal opportunities opportunity to everyone willing to work for it thank you for bringing your culture your music your stories and your traditions here you give America color I love y'all so much oh

shot what is this hat it looks like he's a okay it looks like he's in the autumn and okay here something shut up shabuzy literally like first of all this is a nation founded by settlers this is not a nation of immigrants okay we have immigrants when they suit our purposes when we think it's a good idea to let them in illegals border jumpers are not immigrants repeat with me one more time border jumpers and illegal immigrants are not immigrants they are illegals we had settlers they came to a raw and open land yeah there were native Americans that's true but they came to an unsettled undeveloped America nor they did not so the people who built America did not immigrate into a pre-existing country so they built an entire civilization from scratch yep and guess what and it was amazing and so everyone wanted to come join us yes absolutely and I that line at the end they give it color

okay uh is that a attack on white people shabuzy all the people that buy your records that play your songs it's just I we're going to keep going here but I I have so many we haven't done the so holding what we have money yet what's that yeah well that's where we're going all right the bad bunny clip I need the bad bunny clip guys oh we have it it is uh 238 before I say thanks to God I'm gonna say ice out we're not savage we're not animals we're not aliens we are humans and we are Americans all right so okay this is the same guy who said that you have four months to learn Spanish that he refused to speak English he won't do a tour in America because he's protesting ice and then he goes to the Grammys so the only place that this Puerto Rican will speak English is in front of

a bunch of communists in Hollywood at the Grammys so oh okay so you'll lower your spell yourself to use the English language to go speak to a bunch of communists in in Hollywood at least let's say radical progressive he wouldn't make them learn Spanish no why did you make the lips learn Spanish uh bad bunny I thought you I thought you wouldn't lower yourself to speak English in front of people hmm very very fascinating point 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

we go to campuses all over America and 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 dot com that's the letter Y then RIFI dot com and remember YRIFI doesn't care what your credit score is just go to YRIFI dot com and tell them your friend angels at you I you know before we get off this so we hit the Grammys but the important thing is this is not just celebrities it is a manifestation of an ideology that goes into the political realm and so this clip also got attention over the weekend and I really want to flag it uh this is Boston's mayor Wu and she was commenting to the press and she said this let's show 242 every person every human being has the legal right to come to the United States and Steak asylum or shelter and and so it's is that not the the clearest encapsulation of

you might as well call it the Democrat platform of 2026 every person in the world has the legal right to come to America and the answer is no you don't have legal right to come to America that's not what our law says it doesn't say you can come here and live here some indefinite duration of time until we adjudicate your asylum claim that's a total invention of the last few years but it is what they believe and all I would say if that is some sort of concept that approves to you if you have a home and everyone in the world has the legal right to enter your home whenever they want do you own a home no no you don't because everyone in the world has access to it the entire idea of having a country or having a home is that there is some principle of limited access to it well and by the way all of their ideas they like to sit here and say oh America we have all this money all this wealth and we work sort of obligated morally to just give it away to whoever wants to come knocking at the door every single idea that they put forward

would ruin your home every single idea that they put forward removes the sovereignty of we the people over our own homeland every single idea they have with so destruction and chaos and disorder and put your family's lives at risk they are they are essentially advocating for the complete abolition of the rule of law we are a rules based country we have to be the rules keep things in order they keep people in check they protect innocent lives and when you want to just throw it all out you want to invite all the you know Sharia people from Syria to come over see how that works out for you there is a reason that murder rates are down 20 percent there is a reason there has not been one single organized Islamic terrorist operations at least successful in this country because guess what we're we're you know enforcing the rule of law again and we're seeing the result there's a reason we have Moses in the house of representatives yes the great log every without law you don't have a society yes remember Jesus didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it

the bible loves laws actually so yeah this isn't obviously if you're in this this audience you know how insane these people sound but it you got to realize that to Blake's point this is part of a larger ideology that is basically wants to destroy the rule of law they hate laws unless it's attacking white people or rich people or business owners just look at mom Donnie in New York City so like if you're a white property owner he's going to tax he's going to seize the means of production so those laws they're going to institute it's called anarcho tyranny where you apply laws against some while allowing tyranny and anarchy amongst amongst the others the preferred class gets zero oversight here's rep primilit jia paul from the progressive caucus yeah they actually need a caucus that's progressive because as if the whole democrat party wasn't progressive enough kind of insinuating kind of that saying the quiet part out loud here 248 i hear you calling for

dismantling abolishing whatever verb you want to use i presumably that's not going to happen in the next couple of weeks as these negotiations are going on republicans are not going to agree to that and they still hold the majority in both houses what are the specific reforms that you can demand that you are demanding what are the red lines now as a condition of passing these funding bills yeah i think this is a really important question you're right we can't we can't completely do what we want to do without the majorities but what we can do is insist that ison cbp get out of minnesota and our cities across the country where they are terrorizing people okay she goes on 249 and i'll make the point on the backside of this 249 we can take enforcement we can ramp it down significantly we can put a lot less money into this kind of cruelty and we can actually hold people accountable for what they are doing we do not need a military force and forcing immigration

law but i do think that we are at a place where finally we can demand in a unified way real reforms and completely dismantle ice and cbp and dhs i'm not sure the dhs really needs to exist so there she said it she wants to dismantle and you see the little word swap it and by the way it's hilarious about this is that they didn't you know the ms now reporter new and she said well you're not saying to fund but you're saying dismantle so now they're going to say dismantle because defund is polling poorly and speaking of polling we got we got rich bearers here we'll bring them in for just a second here because we've only got five minutes left rich rich welcome i know you're having technical difficulties over there welcome back to the show my friend thanks for having is always walked out by the storm and drew it's all right it's all right brother so this whole we got ice walkouts everywhere we've got we've got you know democrats calling to dismantle instead of

defund ice and dhs the polling rich is it worth is there is there is there tantrums working how how are we looking well look you can always count on democrats to overstep and room you can't because the truth is and we talked about this what last week or two weeks ago about how you know ice the the sentiments surrounding ice in america have been changing the left's tactics were working but americans this is where they messed up americans still support deportations they still support the programs that that they that Donald Trump backed that he ran on and that he was elected to carry out so they i think this mistook you know wanting some modest changes and we talked about them a couple of them the masks right getting operational control over areas and there were modest changes that could have been implemented americans are not going to be okay with completely dismantling ice and no longer being able to deport that's just that's an overstep and even if we

did see a little shift in the polling that is very temporary and once americans go back to understanding that they're actually attacking their ability to have a sovereign country it will and poorly for them so you know again we have these debates in the country one side gets an advantage and then they overstep and drew it happens all the time that's what the last year that makes a lot of sense uh so rich i got two questions here and i got to move quick because we only got three minutes left uh i want to ask about insurrection act the and then i want to ask about the special election in texas because i think too much has been made of it but uh the the insurrection act in your opinion if Trump would have called the insurrection insurrection act immediately in Minneapolis squashed it quick just dealt with it would do you think we would see better polling better press better optics or do you think that the the way this has played out has been necessary i you know i actually think this is where i probably disagree uh with a lot of people here i i i think that people are looking for fast and decisive action they let it stew for too long

and they you know this is actually dates back to longer than Minneapolis i mean before the the new year into going into the holiday season last year we were starting to see the left they they had complete control over the narrative we weren't answering anything we just gave them the ability to discuss this issue and talk about it out they wanted and it started to raise questions in people's minds like what crimes are you being deported for we need a little bit more we need our parameters to be like firmed up here so we understand what's going on um but again that this is where you're going to be an age divide and i know we're running low on time i just want to say i think you would have saw some of the older part of the coalition maybe not like it think it was too much but it's the young part of the coalition that has to be fired up right now and they want decisive action they don't even care if he goes full franco and you they need him to move and make decisions yeah i tend to agree with you rich i i mean i know people don't want to see armed you know military in the streets but they also want to see chaos they don't want to see like lives getting away with it either when we can all yeah clearly see that this is an op all right let's

go really quickly to senate state Texas state senate nine runoff uh damn wins this and this is uh typically a republican uh held seat is it a big deal i tend to not think so it's probably not promising but i i think it's kind of a nothing burger what's your thoughts here yeah i've got to disagree on that and it's like it's not one thing out of you know it's not a one-off this is the strain of underperformance by republicans being driven again it's a going back to the last question we have a huge part of the republican coalition that just does not want to vote they're not interested they're they're definitely disaffected and tarry county is a bit is a loss because this is the largest red county in the country and it was one that had been shifting a little democratic before you know when Biden won and then it swung back hard republicans do have an infrastructure there they there's you know there's the their ballot chasing up there there's precinct activity i get it rich but like the turnout was 94,000 and in 2024 it was 400,000 and 300,000

why didn't they turn out well i just don't think anybody i just don't think anybody was paying attention which is a huge problem i totally get that and i think that's the problem rich i gotta i gotta go but um but we're gonna continue this conversation next time with the great rich bears thank you brother we'll talk to you soon all the best brother thanks for more on many of these stories and news you can trust go to charliekirk.com
