Episode Overview
Title: The 'Seditious Six' + AI Amnesty
Date: November 25, 2025
Host: Charlie Kirk
This episode of The Charlie Kirk Show dives into two major issues:
- The ‘Seditious Six’: An in-depth discussion around a video released by six Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Mark Kelly and Representative Alyssa Slotkin, urging military personnel to refuse "illegal orders." The episode explores whether this action constitutes sedition, the ensuing controversy in military and political circles, and the implications for civil-military relations.
- AI Amnesty: Guest expert Mike Davis weighs in on current congressional debates about federal vs. state regulation of artificial intelligence, the push for "AI amnesty" by tech giants, and the potential consequences of giving tech platforms unchecked power.
Throughout, the panel features a combative, unapologetically conservative examination of legal, political, and cultural angles around both topics.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. The 'Seditious Six' Video and Its Fallout
-
Background of the Video
- Six Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Alyssa Slotkin, and others, appear in a video encouraging military personnel to refuse unlawful orders.
- The language is ambiguous and never identifies a specific "illegal order."
- Blake: "The best defense you could make is they're worried Trump might make an illegal order and they're saying people should defy it. But even worse, very strong vibe that they are soliciting... some element of defiance..." [02:03]
-
Military and Legal Ramifications
- Mark Kelly, as a retired Navy Captain, is technically still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
- Department of War (formerly Defense) signals intent to investigate Kelly for possible misconduct.
- Andrew: "If you take the 20-year-plus retirement from the military, apparently you're still subject to the UCMJ." [05:32]
- Debate over whether making an example out of Kelly could backfire by turning him into a political martyr.
-
Intent and Public Reaction
- The hosts and guests see the video as unprecedented and dangerous, possibly "seeding the ground" for a future military mutiny if Trump returns to office.
- Andrew: "These people just did this video and... there is a lot of people that are suggesting that this is seeding the ground for something terrible in the future or for some other sort of Color Revolution-esque action." [09:00]
-
Notable Quotes
- Mike Davis (Guest; Article 3 Project):
"Mark Kelly is trying to portray himself as some noble hero. He should absolutely get court martialed and held accountable for this. They need to make an example out of this guy." [18:11]
- Blake:
"Sedition is a dicey word to use... treason is defined in the Constitution... Our founders knew English history... and they were very worried about that." [13:39]
- Mike Davis (Guest; Article 3 Project):
-
Political Risks of Prosecution
- Multiple hosts debate whether prosecuting Kelly and others would be legally justified, politically wise, or would merely create sympathy for them.
-
Historical Parallels
- Reference to the Alexander Vindman/Trump impeachment saga as a cautionary tale about politicizing military obedience.
"It kind of reminds me of what Vindman did to Trump... Trump's in the throes of chaos. It undermines the entire term." [22:18]
- Reference to the Alexander Vindman/Trump impeachment saga as a cautionary tale about politicizing military obedience.
2. Listeners’ Feedback & Cultural Tones
- Nancy credits her baptism to Charlie Kirk's influence [11:06].
- Mixed reactions from the show’s audience highlight deep frustrations among conservatives about perceived lack of consequences for Democrats.
3. Law Enforcement & The Deep State: Transition Segment
- Discussion of court developments in cases involving James Comey & Letitia James, focusing on winning and losing legal battles as broader political warfare.
- Mike Davis:
"James Comey got charged with lying to Congress and obstruction... He politicized and weaponized intel agencies and law enforcement with the Russian collusion hoax... The Supreme Court will fix this." [26:57]
4. AI Amnesty Debate
-
Legislative Context
- Congress is debating a moratorium on state-level AI regulation, seeking a unified federal standard.
- Some Republicans, including Stephen Miller, argue federal preemption is necessary to prevent liberal states from embedding DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) values into AI.
- Trump on Truth Social: "Overregulation by the states is threatening to undermine this growth. Some states are even trying to embed DEI ideology into AI models producing woke AI... We must have one federal standard..." [34:24]
-
Mike Davis’ Perspective
- Davis opposes “AI amnesty” (a parallel to Section 230 for social media), which he claims would let tech giants evade accountability to children, conservatives, communities, and content creators—the "four Cs."
- Mike Davis:
"If you're not going to protect the four Cs, they don't have 60 votes to get this done. If you try to do this again, we'll kick your butts again." [33:14] "Why would we let Meta... and Google... run us over and make trillions of dollars on the backs of conservatives, children, content creators and communities?" [33:08]
-
Call for Federal Oversight With Protections
- Davis pushes for strong federal rules to balance economic growth, national security, and community protections.
- Emphasizes the importance of grassroots pressure to shape policy.
- Mike Davis:
"If they want to play this game again, I'll kick their asses again." [35:44]
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- Charlie Kirk:
"If the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You gotta stop sending your kids to college." [00:03]
- Blake (on sedition):
"Sedition is a dicey word to use... [Founders] were worried about [overreach]." [13:39]
- Mike Davis (on Kelly and sedition):
"You cannot get more dangerous than this. That is interfering with the chain of command." [18:11]
- Andrew (on public reaction):
"There is a feeling of frustration that some of these people... have, I think, done illegal things, and... they keep getting away with it." [12:31]

Summary for Those Who Haven’t Listened
This episode is a deep dive into two headline topics through a distinctly conservative and activist lens. The hosts dissect a provocative “Seditious Six” Democratic lawmaker video, debating whether it's a dangerous act of undermining military order or an overblown controversy. Legal, historical, and political risks are debated, with multiple panelists and guest Mike Davis weighing the consequences of prosecuting high-profile political opponents.
The second half pivots sharply to the fight over AI regulation, where the guests and hosts argue that tech giants are lobbying for blanket “amnesty” that would sidestep accountability, calling for national rules that protect children, conservatives, communities, and content creators.
Overall, the show is unfiltered, urgent, and focused on mobilizing its conservative base to demand accountability and resist both perceived elite overreach and unchecked corporate power.
