Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seusser. It's like you start all these seizures, We're all the same. So why would we treat somebody differently just because they don't have a scar on their belly?

Andrew Colvett (11:16)

That's right. He's admitting that Dr. Seuss's moral was don't treat anybody different just because of the way they look, just because they don't have a star on their belly according to Obama. And yet that's exactly what the left is having us do. They're saying, no, actually Dr. Seuss had a bigoted and a negative portrayal of people of color. So we have to cancel these books when they're missing the point. It's like they never read the books. The moral of the story is that it doesn't matter what you look, it doesn't matter how you are or where you came from or what you say you like. The moral of most of Dr. Seuss's books is that that's irrelevant because we all are in some way the same. His goal was to teach morals. And I remember he had this great quote where he said that kids can see a moral coming a mile away and they gag at it. And so he hides it. He hides good values, good lessons. Here's the other thing that they are forgetting. Dr. Seuss was a liberal Democrat. You know, just check out the Lorax if you don't believe me. There are left leaning policies laced in his books, you know, and something that Charlie talks about. And I think it's really, it's really apt. You know, whether you're a person of faith or not. I think this is an interesting ancient wisdom coming from Genesis 6, 9. I'm reading from the NIV here about Noah, you know, the flood. Noah. For those of you who have not been in church for a few moons, this is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. And he walked faithfully with God. It's that second line there. Blameless among the people of his time. Blameless in his generation. Another reading has it. Blameless in his generation. What is so ridiculous about all of this? And we do it with presidents and Jefferson and Washington. Oh, they own slaves. They're completely canceled. And you completely overlook all of the good things that they've done. You're ignoring the contemporaries that they lived amongst. You're ignoring the morality of their time and how they pushed through it. Dr. Seuss was anything but racist. Nevertheless, the scrutiny that they put these books under time and time again is completely unfair, unreasonable, and it ignores the fact that there is a history. We can't erase it as much as they want to try. You cannot erase history, folks. You can learn from it, you can grow from it. You can reject certain aspects of those value systems and then you can choose other paths. But you cannot erase it. The French tried. The Maoists tried. The Taliban tried. You can't erase history. It will live on. And the truth is. The truth is the truth. And the truth is that Dr. Seuss's books have been a source of uplifting literacy, of morality, of values, of fun, of creativity. And just because they were written in an era that was a little bit more insensitive to certain peoples does not deemed them worthy of canceling. And it's disgusting that these are the people that are running our. Our colleges, our university, our elementary school.

Andrew Colvett (16:20)

I wanna talk about something that is massively important, and that is this nasty bill coming through. Congress, if you watched the President's CPAC speech over the weekend, you know all about this in a sense, because you're aware that this election, and frankly, if you listen to this show, I mean at all, you understand that election integrity in this country is of the utmost importance. That whether you think that certain machines were involved in tabulation errors, whether manipulated intentionally or accidentally, is sort of irrelevant. Because what's actually probably the most important piece of this entire conversation is that of mail in ballot security drop boxes, private money being funneled into a public election by the likes of Zuckerberg and others. These are things that we can actually prove happened. We can prove that things like signature verification processes and chain of custody were completely thrown out the window and that those had a tremendous effect. Now, I'm not even making any assertions that should be controversial at all. We just know that Covid was used as an, as an excuse across the country to strip legislatures of their constitutional authority to set the rules of an election in their home states. Governors, state supreme courts, secretaries of state got in the way and, and changed everything. And why, all under the guise of public health and safety, because we were living in a pandemic. Well, we're gonna actually have Andy Biggs, Representative Andy Biggs this week if we can get it scheduled. We're doing a little schedule limbo right now, and we'll see if we can get it on. But he should be on the show this week to talk about this. He's one of the guys that is leading the charge against in Congress. And I just gotta be honest, this thing is an absolute disaster. What it would do is just like President Trump said, it would permanently rig the election in favor of the Democrat Party. And why are they doing it? This is the connection to Dr. Seuss. They're doing it to eliminate systemic racial inequalities that exist in our voting system. They call it HR1. It's for the People Act. For the People Act. HR1. Right. One should tell you something that it's at the top of their to do list. So this is happening simultaneously when states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Arizona all have presented several bills that are at various stages of approval, taking aim at mail voting and really to circumscribe who can vote and which ballots would be valid. Meanwhile, the Democrats in Congress are trying to supersede these attempts by Republicans. So it doesn't matter that rates of COVID are dropping dramatically across the country. It doesn't matter that hospitalizations are down. It doesn't matter that the vaccine Rollout is happening over a million doses a day. They think that we'll be soon at 2 million doses a day. It doesn't matter that Johnson and Johnson now has a, has a new vaccine. Doesn't even matter that even in places like Los Angeles, it doesn't matter. Even these places. The schools are gonna be opening up soon here in the month of March, they want to make the rules that they set for the election in 2020, November 2020, they want to make those, those rules permanent. And they wanna strip states of their rights to run their own elections. And they're calling it for the People Act. And this would again codify the pandemic era voting guidance. But it would also, which is, you know, gonna be under reported here. So I wanna make sure we cover it right here. It's also gonna be stripping states of, of redistricting power. And that's a big deal. So what the Democrats like to do is they like to centralize power. If you're just gonna break it down in a us versus them, how we think about life, how we think about government. They want everything. They think of the federal government as the panacea to all that ails us. Oh, systemic racism. Well, we obviously need to have the federal government involved to have a commission on that. And we're gonna have a discussion, we'll get back to you with how we take, take some of your powers away. Well, that's what they're doing here as well. The redistricting is kind of, you know, it's sausage making. It's not sexy, it's not very interesting to a lot of people, but it's incredibly important. And to be fair, it is one of the, how do you say, it's the, one of the greatest spoils of a political victory. If you are in power, you're. You have a outsized say in redrawing congressional and legislative districts every 10 years in your state. And what they want to do in this bill is they want to strip that power from the states and assign it to a 15 member commission with a quote, unquote, fair balance of partisans to avoid gerrymandering. So the whole point here is that they are saying, well, in these Republican states they're going to diminish the influence and the power of communities of color. And so we have to strip this from these, these evil red state Republicans. We have to strip this power from them so voters in each state could challenge reapportionment under the new law instead of having to rely, as is the case presently. And this I'm quoting on claims brought under various parts of the Constitution, whatever that means. So Trump actually did mention this. He called it a monster in his CPAC speech. He said it had to be stopped. And this. If you think that 2020 was bad, wait till HR1 takes effect. It's massively unconstitutional, by the way. These rights are apportioned to the states to run their own elections. And nevertheless, you know, the Democrats have never let the Constitution get in the way of a good law that would give them more power and would solidify their power for generations. Dropboxes in general were used to great effect. In 2020, people like Mark Zuckerberg poured $400 million into an organization called the center for Tech and Civic Life, which gave grants to municipalities, public health grants. Again, this should not be legal. We're gonna have Phil Klein on to discuss it of the Amistad project, who was on a lot just after the election, talking about many of the projects that he was running down. And this was one of them. What the center for Tech and Civic Life would do is they would place these drop boxes right next to public transport, predominantly in neighborhoods of color. And then just to make it fair, if. If they knew that they were dropping a convenient Dropbox for votes, ballots in a conservative district, they might do one. Whereas in, you know, downtown Atlanta or Madison, Wisconsin, or Detroit, there'd be 50. And you can't check these drop boxes. It's really tough to verify them. And you can't check the signatures on the. On the ballots because in places like Georgia, under the consent decree that Governor Kemp folded and gave to Stacey Abrams, it greatly diminished the state's ability to verify signatures on those ballots. And we've talked about that ad nauseam on this program, and Georgia is working to set that straight. But it won't matter at all if this law passes. Another thing that this law does is it strips the tradition of in person voting. So curbside polling sites would collect absentee ballots. There would be. Every state would have to accept people registering to vote at least 15 days before the election and then have to accept ballots 10 days after the election. This bill is an absolute boondoggle in a thousand different ways. And by the way, you have to foot the bill for all of these costs that are now going to be put upon the shoulders of the taxpayer to rig an election. And not only that, is, it's against our very foundation as a nation, federalism. The states created the federal government. Never forget that. The federal government did not create the states. So when states like Pennsylvania Michigan, Georgia and Arizona rise up to fix their, their voting system, just as Governor Ron DeSantis did in Florida. To then have the federal government stomp on those constitutionally given rights is an affront to our entire system. And it should not be a surprise to anybody that this is number one item on the to do list. The number one item on the to do list. All right, so I want to talk about one other thing because I just think it's funny. I want to play. Clip 25 this is John Kasich, the failed presidential contender from the great state of Ohio, which, by the way, Trump won it by eight or nine points in November, talking about how the president's speech at CPAC was a total dud. Let's see if you agree with him. Clip 25 Port But I thought the

John Kasich (26:14)

speech was a dud myself. I mean, what Trump reminded me of was a boxer might be able to still land a couple punches, but there's no sting in the punch. You couldn't knock anybody down or knock anybody out with it. And it was not impressive to me. And remember, There were like 1400 people in a ballroom. I mean, this is if this is not the crowd that's going to tear down the rafters, I don't know where they are. I've been saying now for a couple weeks to you, and I know John has heard that I think he's fading. I really do. And yesterday was just not impressive to me.

Andrew Colvett (26:49)

He wishes, right? He's still jealous. He's still upset about the election in 2016. And it's so obvious, it's painful. I have a story I can't resist. And Charlie mentioned it to some extent yesterday, and that is the ongoing scandal involving Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York. What's interesting about it is, you know, behind the scenes, Charlie and I were actually talking, we were saying, you know, the second accusers come forward, you pair that with the fact that he's got this massive cover up, you know, regarding the nursing home scandal, where he downplayed the number and he tried to cover up how many deaths actually resulted from his failed and terrible policies. And we said, you know what? I think one more, one more accuser coming forward will probably be it. And so a lot of the headlines read, you know, strike three. Governor Cuomo faces another sexual harassment allegation. And it's fairly gross. You know, I think we can all agree, like, Cuomo comes off as a creepy kind of older guy, especially with the age of the women that are coming forward in their 20s. The newest and Anna Rutch is 33. She told the New York Times that the 63 year old, and I'm reading from the New York Post, New York governor made unwanted advances towards her and planted an unsolicited kiss on her cheek at the reception in Manhattan. He said, can I kiss you? Rutch recalled. I was so confused and shocked and embarrassed. The allegation comes after two former state staffers accused Cuomo of sexual harassment on the job, including one who claimed the governor kissed her without warning at his Manhattan office, which he has denied. She was never employed by the governor, but nevertheless, she was a member of the Obama administration in 2020, campaign staffer for Biden. And this was at a wedding. So apparently the creepy old New York governor has a thing with kissing young women in an unwanted way. You know. Rutch claims the governor had his hand on the small of her lower back, which was exposed in an open back dress. Quote, I promptly removed his hand with my hand, which I would have thought was a clear enough indicator that I was not wanting him to touch me, she told the Times. But the governor didn't get the hint. He allegedly noted Rutch seemed, quote, unquote, aggressive, that Rush seemed aggressive, and then placed his hands on her cheeks and asked if he could kiss her loudly enough for a friend of Rutch's to hear, according to the report. I turned my head away and didn't have words in that moment. And so he planted one on her cheek. I guess so. Okay, strike three. These are all these creepy, you know, takes on this. It's just a creepy old man, you know, Do I care about it? Yeah. I don't think any woman should be forced to suffer unwanted, you know, advances from a 63 year old man, Governor or not, a Cuomo or not. But what's more frustrating is about the pivot that's happened. It's the sleight of hand and it all goes back to the media. So I want to play clip 32. This is Chris Cuomo, his brother, finally fessing up about this whole situation and saying why he can't talk about it. Clip 32.

Chris Cuomo (30:20)

Before we start tonight, let me say something that I'm sure is very obvious to you who watch my show and thank you for that. You're straight with me, I'll be straight with you. Obviously, I'm aware of what's going on with my brother and obviously I cannot cover it because he is my brother. Now, of course, CNN has to cover it. They have covered it extensively and they will continue to do so. I have always cared very deeply about these issues and profoundly. So I just wanted to tell you that there's a lot of news going on that matters also. So let's get after that.

Andrew Colvett (31:06)

So, I mean, you know, this is not a comedy sketch like we're familiar with Chris Cuomo doing on his nightly broadcast. This is not a giant COVID test swab with his brother. Now this comes after CNN has banned him from interviewing the governor finally. But it took, for example, when the news broke of these allegations, it took CNN eight hours to even mention it, according to Grabian transcripts. Don't take your eye off the ball. This creepy old man stuff is not the point. It's the scandal and the COVID up at the nursing home. Stay fixed on that. Don't let them throw the scent off. Don't let them distract you. Stay on that. That's the real crisis.

Andrew Colvett (33:25)

Pretty excited about this. I get to talk about the Harvard Harris poll, which just came out. It's probably one of the most insightful polls that I've seen in a long time because it's really, in a lot of ways, the first insight on how it's going in terms of the public's perception of the Biden administration. Right. So we're 40 days in. The guy hasn't given a press conference yet, a formal press conference, probably because as the former president, President 45, President Trump said in his seat pack speech, his barn burner, that, you know, we have some serious concerns about the ability of Joe Biden to keep up. Now, I'm just gonna leave it at that. A lot of people make comments and kind of snide comments about his. His mental faculties and just how sharp he is, but I think that's just a legitimate concern that we all have. At 78 years old, can he keep up with the job and how's he gonna do with it? But that's sort of whatever to me. I really don't care about it. I'm sort of uninterested. I think it's funny. I think some of the clips are hilarious. And, you know, we certainly send those out. So follow Charlie Kirk on his social channels. We have him on Instagram Reels and Rumble. Check out Rumble. By the way, check out Charlie's site on Rumble. Got a bunch of subscribers there. It's the new hot thing. Check it out. But this Harvard Harris poll is really a verdict on how the Biden administration is doing in its first year or first 40, 45 days. And we have been postulating on this show that in truth, Biden has a bug up his. You know what? He's got a. He's got something motivating him that is not often reported because the media likes to talk about Joe Biden. As, you know, Scranton Joe, this moderate. And we all have seen that it has been worse than we feared in terms of just how progressive he has taken his administration. In the opening days, he is captive to the far left of his party. You know, there's a new news report today saying from Alexandria Ocasio Cortez saying, well, we shouldn't have done $15 minimum wage anyways in the stimulus bill. We should have done 24. That's really the very minimum that we'll accept. So she, you know, as a good negotiator, she's going past what's even on the table. Nevertheless, Joe Biden, and it is our theory that he wants to go down in history as the most progressive president in American history. He lived in the shadow of President Obama for eight years. He was belittled. You know, I think they said that he was. President Obama referred to him as prone to verbal flourishes. He was kind of the old crazy uncle in the White House. And then by some crazy turn of events, whether it was rigged or it wasn't, I think we all know what we think and we'll just leave it at that. He was losing badly. And then South Carolina picked him up and put him in the White House. Ultimately, that was in the primaries. And why? Because the Democrat establishment said he was the moderate. They said he's the guy that can win the election because he's going to appeal to the widest variety of voters, the biggest coalition. So here we have now. Progressive Joe is getting polled. How's he doing? The Harvard Harris poll asked the question, which do you find more concerning? The violence in American cities during the past summer or the riots in the Capitol on January 6? 55% of Americans polled said that violence in the cities was more concerning. 45 said, January 6th. Right. Do you think that Antifa is a domestic terrorist group? 71% said yes. Amen and proud boys. Do you think that's a terrorist group? 66% said yes. But here's what's interesting. Do you think that the events of the U.S. capitol are being used by politicians, Joe Biden, to suppress legitimate political movements, or do you think there is no such suppression of legitimate movements? 64% said yes. I want to ask you guys a question and I have to say I got this from a meme somewhere, I can't even remember where, but it asked the question. I thought it was really, really smart. It said, can you name one instance where the people burning the books were the good guys? Now, obviously we don't have bonfires full of books like the Nazis did in 1930s Germany, but we have the cancellation of books. Amazon refuses to platform certain books. There was a book that was talking about transgenderism from a conservative vantage point that was just removed from Amazon. We have the President of the United States is off of Twitter and Facebook. He's appealing it right now. The President of the United. I think we fail to remember just how ridiculous that is, how absolute ridiculous that is. Nevertheless, 64% of Americans are onto it, according to this recent poll from Harvard Harris. So here's the last thing, and this is really where we get to this Indictment on President Biden. The most popular executive orders requiring mass at airports and federal land. 78%. Apparently like that. I would count myself in the 22%. Nevertheless, a moratorium on eviction. 73%. Like that one 100 day mask challenge. People love these masks. 71%. And extending the pause on student loans. 68%. Okay, that's, that's where Joe Biden is scoring high marks. But check this out. And this should be our roadmap as conservatives for the next two years. And you know, when I've had a chance to fill in on this show, I've gone hard after a few of these issues. And Charlie hits them every day without fail. Requiring schools to let biological boys play girls sports. Only 45% of Americans like that. 55% oppose it. Reducing deportations for criminal illegals. Again, 55% of Americans oppose that. It's a winning issue, folks. Immigration is a winning issue. Enforcement is a winning issue. And this administration has been a disaster on enforcement, a disaster at the border. And we have a pending human rights disaster crisis at our southern border that I want to talk about ad nauseam because it's so important. Canceling the Keystone pipeline. 53% of Americans oppose that. And reducing immigration enforcement. 51% of Americans oppose that. That is telling folks they don't want. Americans do not want their daughters to have to play sports against biological men. They do not want their daughters to have to be in a, in a private locker room setting with a biological male. They want enforcement of their immigration laws. They want enforcement at the border. And they guess what, they want a pipeline that safely transports fossil fuels so you don't have to put it on rails or trucking that is even more dangerous and more harmful to the environment. And guess what? We want low cost energy that is dependable when an ice storm hits. Thank you Texas for that reminder. God bless Texas, guys. We have the winning issues. As Charlie often says, conservatives advocate for principles that fit with the human condition. Liberals do not. They are contrary to the human condition. We know common sense. We know the rule of law. We know what we need to make this country safe, secure, efficient, energy, independent. And the Biden administration. All they've got on here is masks. Apparently Americans like masks, which I find ridiculous. Nevertheless, they like masks. Okay, so we're losing on the mask issue, which by the way, if you went to CPAC or watch it on tv, you could see from all the coverage that that is the most scandalous thing that the establishment media can come up about cpac. That and some Nonsense about the stage design. Ah, the people weren't wearing masks. Okay? Apparently they've won that debate. Czar Fauci has established that two, three or four masks will keep you safe. But guess what? So will enforcing our border. So will establishing energy independence in this country, and so will keeping men and boys in separate locker rooms and on separate sports teams. The American people are not stupid. We need to lean into these issue. Thank you to this poll for this indictment upon a debacle of 40, 45 days of the Biden administration. It's very telling.

This is Charlie Kirk, not producer Andrew, but he is still Here I was just doing some Fox News without numbered. Had a great time. It was very good. And Andrew, thanks for chipping in.

Andrew Colvett (44:11)

Hey, my pleasure. Always here.

Charlie Kirk (44:13)

Everyone said you did a great job and that I should retire to Alabama.

Andrew Colvett (44:16)

I think that'd be a terrible idea.

Charlie Kirk (44:18)

Yeah.

Andrew Colvett (44:20)

Because I just did not do the Dr. Seuss story any justice. Charlie, you need to step into this froth. Waters.

Charlie Kirk (44:27)

Well, so yeah, let's jump right into the Dr. Seuss thing. And so I woke up and it was part of our kind of show prep and I was just confused as to what was happening with Dr. Seuss. So I guess he was omitted in Joe Biden's reading or something. There was like National Reading Day and Joe Biden decided not to include him. Is that right?

Andrew Colvett (44:48)

Yeah, his Read Across America sort of speech. Yeah, his recorded remarks. Typically what happens is they read from Dr. Seuss in this annual Reading Across America and he omitted it.

Charlie Kirk (45:04)

So he omitted Dr. Seuss. But then who told him to do that? Cuz he obviously didn't come up with that idea. Has anyone actually asked him where did he come from?

Andrew Colvett (45:12)

Jen Psaki. But you know, who knows, who knows, who knows who made that decision? It was conspicuously absent and they did not explain their decision.

Charlie Kirk (45:21)

So they haven't. Okay, so then the Dr. Seuss publishers have now said that they don't want. They're no longer gonna publish the books. Is that right?

Andrew Colvett (45:31)

Six books?

Charlie Kirk (45:31)

Yeah, six of them. What are these books?

Andrew Colvett (45:35)

Well, they are.

Charlie Kirk (45:36)

Is it the. See, I'm old enough to remember.

Andrew Colvett (45:38)

No, it's not the Lorax.

Charlie Kirk (45:39)

No, no, but hold on. I'm old enough to remember when Dr. Seuss was praised by liberals for having like non binary characters and environmental undertones in the Lorax. You remember this?

Andrew Colvett (45:51)

Yeah. I mean, this is what's so ridiculous about this whole story is that it's the CNN article quotes that it depicts people of color and the characters of color in the books in a negative light. And I'm looking at it going like, are we talking about white fish or blue fish? Who are the people of color?

Charlie Kirk (46:13)

What does the Cat in the Hat have to do with people of color?

Andrew Colvett (46:17)

Right. Well, and to be fair, the Cat in the Hat is not one of the books banned or ceasing to be published. It is if I Ran the zoo. And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street. MC Elligate's Pool, which I've never heard of on Beyond Zebra, Scrambled Egg Super. And the Cat's Quizzer. Yes.

Charlie Kirk (46:37)

You see rehearing This I realized why I didn't like Dr. Seuss growing up. None of it made any sense.

Andrew Colvett (46:43)

I know. To be perfectly honest, I was not a big Dr. Seuss.

Charlie Kirk (46:47)

I was never a Dr. Seuss fan. But the point is that it shouldn't obviously be canceled. I mean, that's obviously the point. But then I'm just struggling to understand what the sense of urgency around this. I mean, Aunt Jemima, Mr. Potato Head, Gone with the Wind, and now Dr. Seuss. Does everyone feel safer? I guess is the question. Right?

Andrew Colvett (47:09)

Yeah. You know, I think China's shaking in their boots now. They've figured out that we can cancel things and they might be next.

Charlie Kirk (47:17)

Yeah, but it's obviously something we've touched on at great length on this program, which is the rise of postmodernism and the irresistible urge and temptation to eliminate and to. I don't like that word, cancel. I don't. It's overused. And also, we've talked about this before, that there are plenty of things that should be canceled and we've talked about that. Like child pornography. And so to say that you're against cancer cancellation in general, I just think it could be used against us. But I think it actually brings up a very interesting point which is, what does the left consider to be a bigger threat to children, which is graphic sexual education for 8 year olds or Dr. Seuss. And the left is much more likely to be okay with Planned Parenthood going into California schools and teaching 8 year olds how to put condoms on cucumbers. Literal thing. That's actually a thing that they do. But they want Dr. Seuss to be removed. So according to the left and their new regime, which is basically what this is, we want, we believe, we trust 6 year olds to be able to choose their gender, but we don't trust six year olds to read Dr. Seuss. That is basically the predominant viewpoint. Am I seeing that correctly?

Andrew Colvett (48:33)

Yeah. I mean, they tell you who they are by their actions, right? I mean, this is 101. Who is a person. They are defined by their actions. And what are they doing? They're moving. I mean, whether it's Gina Carano or aunt Jemima or Mr. Potato Head, you know, they are fixated on reconstructing culture to fit their image. And I guess that includes.

Charlie Kirk (48:59)

It was about protecting the innocence of children, which is what they're saying it is. Then why are they. Everything they are doing is sexually liberating or actually in the opposite, everything that children are engaging with. It makes sense. If your goal was deconstruction this is what you would do, which is their goal. When does baseball come back, by the way?

Andrew Colvett (49:18)

Well, it's sort of already back. I mean, we're doing spring training. We got the Cactus League going on.

Charlie Kirk (49:22)

Yeah, that's happening in Arizona. We should go see a game. Do they allow people there?

Andrew Colvett (49:25)

I think so. Yeah.

Charlie Kirk (49:28)

We should go see the Cubs. They're right. They're right down the street.

Andrew Colvett (49:30)

I don't know if the Cubs are in the Cactus League or not.

Charlie Kirk (49:32)

I know the Cubs are in the Cat. First of all. They're here.

Andrew Colvett (49:35)

I know the Dodgers are.

Charlie Kirk (49:36)

They're here in Mesa when they won. When they won their fake World Series this last.

Andrew Colvett (49:40)

Oh, come on.

Charlie Kirk (49:41)

Fake.

Andrew Colvett (49:42)

This is not the place or the. Maybe it is the Forum.

Charlie Kirk (49:44)

It is the Forum.

Andrew Colvett (49:45)

That was a tougher World Series to win than any of the other ones.

Charlie Kirk (49:50)

Because I'm just saying, it will always have an asterisk.

Andrew Colvett (49:53)

Nobody else won. They won. They beat everybody else. That's all you need to know.

Charlie Kirk (49:57)

It was fake. There were no fans, no pressure. It's like. It was like. It's like an exhibition leak.

Andrew Colvett (50:01)

Listen, people agree with me on this.

Charlie Kirk (50:03)

I don't know. I'll be honest. Email us@freedom charliekirk.com all kidding aside, if you asked hundreds of people walking the streets with their masks on who won the World Series, I think a couple would know. No, it was like the most underreported sporting event in the history of sports.

Andrew Colvett (50:20)

That doesn't change the validity of their accomplishments.

Charlie Kirk (50:22)

It absolutely does. You see, this is. This is where I disagree.

Andrew Colvett (50:25)

No. Okay.

Charlie Kirk (50:25)

When. When you have to go through a normal regular season with fans and people are paying attention, the pressure is on. And the Dodgers are professional choke artists, so if they would have had that sort of pressure, they would have folded and shattered.

Andrew Colvett (50:40)

Hold on. You can't call. You can't call losing in 2017 and game seven because they were cheating with the Astros. The Astros. I was at Choker.

Charlie Kirk (50:49)

I was at six. I was actually at game six.

Andrew Colvett (50:52)

Look at you, casting your.

Charlie Kirk (50:54)

At Dodger Stadium. What. What a backup of traffic mess that place is. I know.

Andrew Colvett (50:59)

Well, we. You know, we're getting tunnels. According to Elon Musk, the boring company.

Charlie Kirk (51:03)

I think there are already tunnels.

Andrew Colvett (51:04)

I'm Tunnels.

Charlie Kirk (51:05)

See, I told you. There's no way celebrities wait in traffic.

Andrew Colvett (51:08)

Chris Connor saying, go, Stroz. Please. Please. We like Houston. Love it when you listen.

Charlie Kirk (51:13)

So here's a philosophical moral question. Did the Houston Astros win the World Series even though they cheated? And some people would say yes. Some people would say no. Who is the short guy they had?

Andrew Colvett (51:26)

Oh, gosh.

Charlie Kirk (51:27)

Was he a cheater too?

Andrew Colvett (51:28)

If you asked me in the, in the regular season, this would come up right up.

Charlie Kirk (51:31)

He's like five, five.

Andrew Colvett (51:32)

Jose Altuve.

Charlie Kirk (51:34)

Yeah. Is he cheater too?

Andrew Colvett (51:36)

Oh, big time. Big cheater. There's even allegations that he was wearing a wire.

Charlie Kirk (51:40)

See, you know, I stopped watching ESPN as soon as they had Jameel Hill go and go all BLM woke city.

Andrew Colvett (51:46)

I'm an outkick guy now, you know.

Charlie Kirk (51:48)

Yeah, I know. I just. My passion for sports is dimmed. I'm hoping that March Madness can get me back into it. I'm a very big March Madness.

Andrew Colvett (51:56)

I saw what happened when Cuban tried to remove the national anthem and then the NBA actually said, nope, we're going to keep it.

Charlie Kirk (52:04)

It's true.

Andrew Colvett (52:05)

So I think they know. I think they know that it's hurting the bottom line. And, you know, kudos to all the Patriots. And I mean that not it's a football team, but as the people that

Charlie Kirk (52:13)

love America, we love the New England Patriots. At least we used to.

Andrew Colvett (52:16)

Well, we love Tom Brady.

Charlie Kirk (52:17)

That's true. That's true.

Andrew Colvett (52:19)

Tampa.

Charlie Kirk (52:21)

So how did. Oh, I mean, base. Baseball's back, so we have to go watch a game.

Andrew Colvett (52:23)

It's spring training. Yeah, exactly. I don't know what opening day is,

Charlie Kirk (52:27)

but it's back in a certain environment. I'm not a, I'm not a regular season baseball fan, but I'm definitely a late season and post season baseball fan. I love pressure. I think baseball has the most pressure of any sport. No question asked outside of a game winning drive for a quarterback or a field goal kicker or a free throw near the end of the game. Baseball is nothing but how you handle pressure.

Andrew Colvett (52:52)

Yeah, you're right. It's those pauses in between every pitch. It's sort of psychological phenomenal. Every moment becomes very, very tense.

Charlie Kirk (53:00)

It's a completely different sport. Basketball, you could play through nerves. You can just, you could hustle, you could, you know, you just, you can. In baseball, it's, it's, it's an interval

Andrew Colvett (53:10)

sport because it flows. The other, those other sports flow, you don't even have a moment to sort of correct your thoughts. You just kind of start reacting on instinct, you know. But baseball, it's very much every moment you're, you're thinking, it's such a, it's such a psychological game.

Charlie Kirk (53:24)

It is so going back anyway, so I don't know how we got on that topic.

Andrew Colvett (53:28)

Well, it's great it's great. I love talking about sports again.

Charlie Kirk (53:30)

I know. It's actually really refreshing. So we can like sports now that Trump's no longer president. Is that a thing now?

Andrew Colvett (53:35)

I don't know about the NBA. I'm not ready.

Charlie Kirk (53:36)

The NBA's awful. Are they in season?

Andrew Colvett (53:39)

Yeah.

Charlie Kirk (53:39)

See, that goes to show that's exactly why the NBA will never be the same. That's why they have to pander to the citizens of Wuhan. Because I don't even know. I don't even know that they were in season. I thought that they had some sort of weird thing.

Andrew Colvett (53:52)

I remember when you went on Twitter and said, you know, you're done with the NBA legitimately.

Charlie Kirk (53:56)

I thought that they were in the offseason.

Andrew Colvett (53:57)

Now, are you coming back? Because, you know the.

Charlie Kirk (54:01)

I want to actually enjoy my life. And so if there's ever a time when sports becomes watchable again.

Andrew Colvett (54:06)

Well, they defended the national anthem. So is that like, what. At what point are you going to be back in with baseball or basketball?

Charlie Kirk (54:14)

Baseball. Oh, basketball. I don't think I've thought it through that. I don't miss it. I don't. In fact, I think the quality of the sport has gone down so dramatically. Where every single superstar so afraid of an injury, no one plays defense. You look at the NBA scores back when Michael Jordan was playing, they had the same length as quarters. The average NBA score was like in the 90s. Now it's in the 120s and 130s. The players aren't that much better. The defense is just deteriorating.

Andrew Colvett (54:45)

I don't know that the players are any better.

Charlie Kirk (54:47)

I mean, I don't.

Andrew Colvett (54:48)

I don't think.

Charlie Kirk (54:48)

I think. I think that there's a couple. There's a couple more of a physical specimen. There's a couple freakazoids. Like a Kevin Durant is like just a.

Andrew Colvett (54:54)

Well, Stefan Curry is. Stephanie, He's. I mean, he's not a lights out from beyond the three. I mean, but you can't deny the guy can shoot. Like, you see those videos in practice

Charlie Kirk (55:02)

where Larry Bird is better.

Andrew Colvett (55:04)

Yeah, we were just like, I don't know. I don't know from an accuracy stand, but he'll make like 100 shots beyond the three point line. Like he's. Without missing.

Charlie Kirk (55:11)

I'm telling you, he's probably got an Altuve thing. We're gonna find out that Steph Curry has like a wire in his ear

Andrew Colvett (55:16)

or something that like twitches.

Charlie Kirk (55:17)

But like, the thing about basketball is how could you cheat in basketball?

Andrew Colvett (55:20)

Right?

Charlie Kirk (55:21)

That's the Thing. It's one of those.

Andrew Colvett (55:23)

It's the refs. That's how you cheat.

Charlie Kirk (55:24)

They're all in the.

Andrew Colvett (55:25)

They're all.

Charlie Kirk (55:25)

That's true.

Andrew Colvett (55:26)

Yeah.

Charlie Kirk (55:27)

Besides that. It's the calling in science. Okay. Going back to something that bothers me because I'm actually excited about sports coming back. We need to talk about sports more on this program. We haven't done that in quite a while. We haven't done it because it was unwatchable. We used to.

Andrew Colvett (55:42)

Actually, when we first started the podcast,

Charlie Kirk (55:43)

we did a lot of sports.

Andrew Colvett (55:44)

Yeah, we used to talk about sports all the time.

Charlie Kirk (55:46)

I know, I know. So why did I call this meeting? Oh, yeah, that's right. Cuomo. So the conservative outrage around Cuomo's harassment has really bothered me. And I am not an automatic team. Right, good team, left, bad person. Obviously I critique the left all the time and I critique Democrats. Let me be very, very clear. I have no sympathy at all for Andrew Cuomo. I think he's one of the worst, most self dealing corrupt governors in the country. But just the. I was watching a couple programs recently and listening to a couple things and just the piling on about the specifics of these women's allegations. I say, wait a second. From what I understand, it's inappropriate behavior. It's nowhere near Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein territory.

Andrew Colvett (56:37)

Correct? Correct.

Charlie Kirk (56:38)

Not even close.

Andrew Colvett (56:38)

Absolutely correct. Yeah. It's creepy old man stuff is what it is.

Charlie Kirk (56:41)

Yeah. Which again, is something that I'm not endorsing, but I'm just kind of getting exhausted with this entire, we're gonna platform somebody and act as if what they're saying is 100% true, despite how old the allegation is. And these are somewhat recent allegations against a powerful white man. I'm not into it. Let me just be very clear. And if there's 30 of them, then maybe my opinion will change.

John Kasich (57:06)

But.

Charlie Kirk (57:07)

But am I supremely shocked to hear that Andrew Cuomo is a pig? No. I actually think most people in positions in both political parties of power, in the corporate level or in the finance level, or in the political level or in the media level or Hollywood, you're gonna see this pattern of behavior because this is the way that people in power act. And is that a good thing? No, it isn't. Do I think it warrants the amount of kind of conservative moral platforming we've seen? No. And that's what really bothers me. I think that all the focus should be on the nursing home scandal. And we don't know if these Women are telling the truth. We don't. We don't know if these women are exaggerating it. Do I think it's probably true that he acted creepily and that he acted out of the norms of conduct? Yes, I think that's probably exactly what happened. Do I think it's worthy of his resignation? Probably not. I mean, I called for Al Franken to resign. I look back at it, back when I did it, I was like, you know, maybe, maybe not. And I'm just trying to slow down the process. I think that where we are headed with this entire kind of unraveling is not healthy. With that being said, Andrew Cuomo has a completely different position because he actually helped create this beast. He being a member of the Democrat Party and the sponsor of the MeToo kind of outrage mob. He has to go live now at the, you know, to use the Robespierre example that we used last week, he's now going to have to live at the metaphorical guillotine that he helped create. Right. Where Robespierre, who was the leader of the French Revolution, ended up being killed by the guillotine of the Jacobins himself. And they. He actually died under the device that he helped create. And so that's one of my takes on it. I said this on Fox News and Outnumbered, where I said, I am not of the opinion that we should be focusing this much on. I think all of it should be on the nursing homes.

Andrew Colvett (59:10)

No, I'm in complete agreement. The nursing home scandal, I think they're throwing the scent off on purpose.

Charlie Kirk (59:16)

I think that's what I said yesterday, 100%.

Andrew Colvett (59:18)

Well, you know, we discussed these things on air, off air. I don't know. I didn't mean to repeat your point.

Charlie Kirk (59:24)

No, no, no. I'm just completely agree.

Andrew Colvett (59:26)

I completely agree. There is a reason and they all know it. There's a few op eds. I think there was one in the Washington Post talking about the waning influence and power of MeToo. They know they're leaning into MeToo because they know that these actions don't rise to the level of removing him from office, but they know that the nursing home scandal does. And so they want you to look at the creepy old man stuff because they know he's gonna get out unscathed from this when it's all said and done.

Charlie Kirk (59:54)

Yeah, the nursing home thing could be one of the most gross and outrageous political scandals in American history, and we're just deciding not to cover it at all. It's just outrageous. Instead of not covering it, we're covering whether or not he said something to some girl, that was probably something he should have said. But in the kind of hierarchy of political scandals, it pales in comparison. And so my advice to conservatives is don't overemphasize it. Don't, don't. The standards we must institute when it comes to dealing with these things is due process, is the rights of the accused, and is a much slower, more deliberate process. And so, look, some of the accusations, at worst, are touching. Rubbing her lower back and asking to kiss her. And this picture here of Andrew Cuomo just kind of holding this random young girl.

Andrew Colvett (60:55)

I think that's her.

Charlie Kirk (60:56)

Yeah,

Andrew Colvett (60:59)

that's the third accuser.

Charlie Kirk (61:00)

Not defendable, defensible, I should say, not shocking either in any way, shape or form. And so, again, he's going to now have to live under the political circumstance that he helped create. But I don't like conservatives taking this as an opportunity, especially when there's a separate and much exponentially more severe scandal happening with the nursing homes, when this feels like political smokescreen. Everybody's mother says, go eat your vegetables. And even as adults, we still have excuses why we don't eat them. They taste awful. It takes too much to prepare.

Andrew Colvett (62:50)

I got Two. And you get to choose.

Charlie Kirk (62:52)

Oh, boy.

Andrew Colvett (62:53)

One is that the esteemed John Brennan said that he is embarrassed to be a white man.

Charlie Kirk (62:59)

Yes, I actually wanted to cover this.

Andrew Colvett (63:02)

So that's one.

Charlie Kirk (63:03)

Let's play I'm already taken. If the other. If the other one's Jen Psaki, I'm exhausted with her. I have no patience. But I do, I do want to talk about the guy that runs our intelligence agency. So let's play the clip of John Brennan.

John Kasich (63:15)

Well, I must say, to Claire's point, I'm increasingly embarrassed to be a white male these days in light of what I see my other white males saying.

Charlie Kirk (63:23)

So I'm not really sure what the context of this is. But you see, John Brennan is not embarrassed that he helped spy on Donald Trump. He's not embarrassed that he helped oversee international apparatus that help overthrow sovereign countries. And he doesn't seem embarrassed to lie under oath in Congress. But no, he said he's embarrassed by his immutable characteristics. Now, John Brennan is a creature of the kingdom of Washington D.C. and he wants to keep on getting invited to think tanks. He wants to keep on getting invited on tv. So John Brennan is not dumb. He realized the new thing you must do is apologize for your whiteness. And so this is John Brennan who says clearly on national television that I am more and more ashamed to be a white man. Andrew, what are your thoughts?

Andrew Colvett (64:08)

I mean, I think he's on msnbc. If I'm not mistaken. It could be cnn. It's msnbc, but it's msnbc. And you got to remember, that's the same network that has Joy Reid, the joyless Reid on, has Al Sharpton. It has another. A bunch of folks there that are just really hammered. I like to hate watch MSNBC every so often. And it is just rife with scapegoating of white people. Everything in this country, by the way, Charlie, I don't know if you knew this, but is the fault of white people.

Charlie Kirk (64:47)

And that's the postmodern critical theory belief that everything is racist. Literally the entire system is infected with an invisible virus. And this is the one thing that Robin DiAngelo talks about, who is the author of White Fragility. She says that we're never gonna actually solve this problem. And what an amazing business model, right? I mean, where you have highlighted an existential problem that impacts everything. That's a public health crisis. And there's no solution except buying her next book and keep on having her come back and speak. And that's, I really believe, more and More. This is a racketeering scheme by very underqualified people that have, have very low levels of intelligence that are making millions of dollars convincing the hyper privileged people in our country that they must atone and pay reparations for just existing.

Andrew Colvett (65:43)

Well, I mean I just found the context, by the way, Charlie, and you're absolutely right. The business model, this is a perpetual problem until you get rid of all white people. I think that's a really brilliant point. But the context was the Conservative Political Action Conference it was hosted by Cole Wallace was questioning how Republicans could proclaim themselves the Law and Order Party in the aftermath of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick's death during the January 6th mayhem.

Charlie Kirk (66:08)

Ah, so that's the context.

Andrew Colvett (66:09)

That's the context.

Charlie Kirk (66:10)

What's really. And we were ahead of this more so than I think any other program. And the New York Times actually agrees with us. And the New York Times did some good reporting early on and I think we used that reporting. The New York Times was very clear about it last week. Or they said more and more evidence shows that the Capitol riot was orchestrated and instigated by a smaller and smaller group of people. And that evidence is proven multi institutionally. Right. Basically that is the new consensus. And the consensus is correct that this was not hundreds and hundreds of people. Now there might have been hundreds of people that entered the Capitol, but this was mostly planned and plotted and you know, being driven by a small group of people with malevolent intentions. And so insofar that John Brennan's trying to make a point that's different to that, you know, he's going up against what the facts and the data actually say. Thanks so much for listening everybody.
