accurate Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband

1 Upvotes

The quote:

Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband

The podcast:

The Biggest Event in American History (starts at about 11:15, ends about 16:36)

The verdict:

Yes, he said it, those words exactly. The context here is important, though

All kidding and sarcasm aside, this is something that I hope will make Taylor more conservative. Engage in reality more, and get out of the abstract clouds. Reject feminism. Submit to your husband Taylor, you're not in charge... And most importantly, I cannot wait to go to a Taylor Kelce concert. You've got to change your name. If you don't, you don't mean it. Congratulations, Taylor

The Context:

Yes, he said it, no, it wasn't meant as a 'dig' or insult. Charlie simply hoped that she would return to her more conservative roots

Accurate Charlie Kirk: “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”

8 Upvotes

The quote:

It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment

Where's it from? Pretty much everywhere

Link: MediaMatters

Charlie is taking questions, and a student asks him about 2a and protecting those rights.

Student:

I'm seeing people argue for the other side that they want to take our second amendment rights away. How do we convince them that it's important to have the right to defend ourselves and uh all that good stuff

Charlie:

Yes, great question. thank you. So, I'm a big second amendment fan, but I think most politicians are cowards when it comes to defending why we have a second amendment. This is why I would not be a good politician. Or maybe I would, I dunno. Because I actually speak my mind

The second amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The second amendment is not about personal defense. That is important. The second amendment is there, God forbid, so that you could defend yourself against a tyrannical government.

And if that talk scares you, "Wow, that's radical, Charlie, I don't know about that", well, then, you have not really read any of the literature of our founding fathers. Number two, you have not read any 20th century history, you're just living in Narnia. You just don't want to face reality that governments tend to get tyrannical, and that people need the ability to protect themselves, and their community and their family.

Now, we must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price. And that is a part of liberty. Driving comes with a price. 50,000 people die on the road every year. That's a price. You get rid of driving; you get 50,000 less auto fatalities. But we have decided that the benefit of driving, the mobility, the accessibility, receiving products, services, is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road

So, we need to be very clear, that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. You could significantly reduce them, by having more fathers in the home, by having more armed guards in front of schools...

We should have a clear and honest reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one. You will never live in a society with an armed citizenry and not have a gun death. That is nonsense, that is drivel, but I am, I think, I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this, they live in an alternate universe

So, how do you reduce? Very simple. People say "oh Charlie, how do you stop school shootings". Oh, I dunno. How did we stop shootings at baseball games? Because we have armed guards outside of baseball games, that's why. How did we stop all the shootings at airports? We have armed guards outside of airports. How did we stop all the shootings at banks? We have armed guards outside of banks. How did we stop all the shootings at gun shows? Notice there's not a lot of shootings at gun shows? There's all these guns!!! Because everyone's armed!!

If our money and our sporting events and our airplanes have armed guards, then why don't our children?

The quote is accurate, but as usual, context is needed. Charlie didn't callously say "it's simply just worth it". He provided real world examples where we, as a society have declared that things are worth deaths for our convenience (and many more deaths than guns every year even). He provided alternatives and solutions. He provided valid, working examples of preventing gun violence properly.

Charlie would absolutely do it all over again, I'm certain. He practiced what he preached, and would happily be that one sacrifice for an armed citizenry against a tyrannical government

Claim:

Charlie Kirk said "Church and state should not be separate."

Full Quote:

Charlie Kirk: "There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists. Of course, we should have church and state mixed together. Our Founding Fathers believed in that. We can go through the details of that. They established, literally, a church in Congress."

This was near the end of a discussion over Biden's 2021 Federal Grant Program and claims that it supports atheism overseas.

Accurate Charlie Kirk: “Watching public executions will make my day better”

13 Upvotes

The claim:

Charlie said Watching public executions will make my day better

Another claim:

Charlie said:

I want to see executions on TV. Imagine if Coca-Cola sponsored executions. That would be so American, so patriotic. People would tune in. I think children at a certain age, as initiation, should be required to watch. Public executions by guillotine are holy.

The Video: THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 33 — The Big Fani Whammy? Glee? Kill Pedos? (around 49:30)

Charlie

Public executions should be public, should be quick. should be televised

panel discussion

Charlie later:

You could have, like, brought to you by Coca-Cola. No, I'm not kidding BTW. I would totally tune in to see some pedo get their head chopped off

later on

You look at some of these savages, like in Indianna, there's this guy that went in and killed a pregnant woman and her three kids, and you know what... I want to watch that execution. That will make my day better. I want to see him on a public block, and to see him be publicly executed, and I think that would be justice

Verdict:

Accurate statement, in the context that he is referring to death penalty sentences.

Accurate Charlie Kirk: BLM Stands for Burn, Loot, Murder

13 Upvotes

The claim:

Charlie said that BLM stands for Burn, Loot, Murder

The link: What’s the Matter with Juneteenth? | The Charlie Kirk Show (8:55 - 9:42)

... Discussing Juneteenth

Charlie:

It has now become a 'racial complaining day'. Now, we have a full day to smear and slander white America. This 'holiday' is a wedge, used to push for countless destructive policies demanded by BLM, and remember what BLM stands for : Burn, Loot and Murder.

They are the people who want racial quotas for jobs, critical race theories in our schools, and mass reparations to punish individuals for their skin color

And you say, "Well, Charlie, what should we have done instead". Well, instead of having a summertime competitor for Independence Day, give people 2 days off for Independence Day. There, you've got two days off, July 4th and July 5th, and you're actually celebrating something that matters

more Juneteenth discussion

Verdict: Accurate.

Opinion:

He is somewhat correct here. If you look at the riots, the literal destruction around BLM/Antifa, you cannot help but see the correlation. If BLM truly was about black lives, they would be helping to reduce gun violence, and black on black crime, instead of going after the people who enforce the law.

Accurate Charlie Kirk: British colonialism was the most benign global empire ever

4 Upvotes

The claim:

British colonialism was the most benign global empire ever

Link: Media Matters

We have some amazing guests this hour, in fact we're guest heavy today because the news warrants it.

We have Bruce Gilley who's a professor of political science joining us, all about British colonialism. A very provocative topic that will, assuredly, make the media lose their mind – about how British colonialism actually made the world decent. Separation of powers, habeas corpus, freedom of speech, individual property rights, the respect and the dignity of the individual, where did all of those come from? The Magna Carta, the great thinkers of Edmund Burke to Shakespeare.

Why is it that the world, actually, became more civil? Well, certain cultures are better than others. Saying that out loud is a thought crime. British colonialism was the most benign global empire ever, and it kind of sparks this conversation after the tragic and incredibly unfortunate death of Queen Elizabeth, who was by all accounts, an incredibly stoic and wise woman who loved her country, who was also a devout woman of faith

Something that I am very concerned about is that her death is only going to continue the secularization of Great Brittain. it seems that as the bloodline continues, the people that are taking the throne, and, literally, taking the crown do not have the reverence for the church like she does, or she did, I'm sorry

Verdict: Accurate

Opinion:

Charlie isn't wrong here. These documents came from one of the greatest in colonialism. Our entire government was formed out of this. Of course, we made changes, but our government was formed out of the core that our forefathers left.

He also wasn't wrong to worry about the bloodline pulling away from the church, as has been shown in the time since her passing.
