Ask Us Anything 254: Charlie and Aliens? Smart vs Educated? Liu vs. Gu?

00:00:03 Speaker 1: 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 gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You 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 at turning point, you would say, college chapter. Go start aturning point youould say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. 00:00:37 Speaker 2: Sign up and become an activist. 00:00:39 Speaker 1: 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. 00:00:45 Speaker 2: Here I am Lord, Use me. 00:00:48 Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 3: So all right, members dot Charliekirk dot com, Let's get underway. Our first question. 00:01:15 Speaker 4: I think we have a written question. We're doing at a written question from Brandon, who asked, did Charlie Oh we have him? Oh never mind? Okay, uh Brandon, unmute yourself and what's your question? 00:01:27 Speaker 5: Hey, guys, So with aliens in the news, I figured out to ask if Charlie believed in aliens and if you guys believe in aliens. 00:01:40 Speaker 3: Hmm, all right, So the problem is I'm searching our old dad. 00:01:45 Speaker 4: It's impossible because illegal aliens aliens exactly, Maybe if I searched UFOs. We're working on getting a video where said we'll be revealing, so we'll filibuster a bit here. Danny does tell us he was around Charlie a lot. He believes Charlie thought they were possibly demonic elements. And obviously Charlie was a Christian. He believes in supernatural forces. So you could have angels, you could have demons, and they might be measurable in the in this world in some way. Charlie definitely was open to UFO's There was I remember a clip that went viral. Remember when he was flying on that plane. Yes, and they saw kind of that Foo fighter. Yeah, this is not the clip, but gotten excellent. 00:02:24 Speaker 3: I remember, so Charlie was convinced that there was anomalies that you couldn't explain, and that one of the options could be aliens. But he was also very much like, you know, this could be foreign actors, it could be our own military. I don't think he'd made up his mind yet. Charlie and I spoke a lot about C. S. Lewis and what C. S. Lewis said about aliens and that it wouldn't change our Christian faith or wouldn't challenge our Christian faith at all, and we were grateful to C. S. Lewis for putting that forward. I personally happened to believe that there are probably aliens. 00:02:57 Speaker 4: My guess is it's going to be painful to say, but it's probably like Obama's where there's so much universe out there, it feels like it would genuinely defy probability to say there is no life of any kind in any of the literally hundreds of billions of galaxies that are out there, with trillions, quadrillions, quintillions of stars and planets around them. But we haven't seen any of it out there, and our knowledge of physics as such that will will probably will probably never be able to run into that. 00:03:29 Speaker 3: So there is some like really okay, so listen, I like Joe Rogan, and I've listened to a bunch of his episodes when it comes to where he has experts on about extraterrestrial life and Roswell, and I do find a lot of it really compelling. I think different people. What's happened is the whole research behind aliens has been fairly siphoned off. It's been blocked from sharing their expertise, sharing their research, and that's for a variety of reasons. So I don't think we make a ton of progress on it. But the Roswell site, in the nineteen forty seven crash site, they are very compelling. Blake sitting here shaking his head to name r I'll tell you why. Because there's actual people exist today that have held in their hands these compounds structures. I'm not super articulate, I think, but that they cannot figure out how you would machine something that was found in nineteen forty seven. So I find that very compelling. You couldn't even machine it without breaking the machine. You couldn't let alone stack eighteen layers like they've found on some of these substances that they've found. So I actually think there's some compelling evidence out. I'll react to that, but I want to make sure we get Charlie's points. So first, Charlie had this tweet. I was flying back from Wisconsin on a friend's plane and got called up to the cockpit. The pilots were very confused at what they were seeing. Something was above them and was not showing on radar. I'm sure there is a logical explanation here, but watch this video and tell me what I am missing. This video got seven million views, and this is an excerpt from it. Let's play six point fifty two the White. 00:05:04 Speaker 2: James three here? Is this the most profound you've ever seen it? Yes, it's just like over and over and over again, and no logical explanation. 00:05:16 Speaker 3: The only logicalizemation to be a satellite. 00:05:18 Speaker 6: But I don't know the satellite. 00:05:19 Speaker 2: Because of scircle in the same place. 00:05:22 Speaker 4: Are they coming in and almost three of them and then going yeah, they're lower on the rising. 00:05:26 Speaker 6: Now it's like their information, Yeah, exactly, one's like one come up on them. 00:05:38 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's two of them right there and they're way ahead of us. Yeah, could they be surveillance. 00:05:51 Speaker 4: That's I mean, yeah, my conspiracy theory minds fast. 00:05:56 Speaker 2: And there's nothing on your radar out two hundred miles. But how many miles do you think that's away from US? 00:06:05 Speaker 3: You see much on that. 00:06:06 Speaker 7: Trip, so that's why I'm like, it. 00:06:07 Speaker 2: Must be set and high. So since Wisconsin you've seen it. 00:06:12 Speaker 8: Not he. 00:06:17 Speaker 2: Wow, do you think the US government knows about it? I mean, I'm to do, but what kind of thing wouldn't be caught on radar? How high does your radar go? 00:06:28 Speaker 3: We fifteen sixty thousand? 00:06:31 Speaker 2: Wow? Yeah, all right, thanks guys. 00:06:36 Speaker 4: That was fun. I remember the discussion with the iral words it did, it did, and I was, as always, I am the skeptic, I am the black It's like Charlie, it's it's probably not aliens. And so I wanted to answer that on the you know where people are saying, oh, they found materials. The interesting phenomenon when you get when you really dig into this is Harry Reid was a top Democrat, the top guy in the government for a long time. It's from Nevada, and he was actually a bit of a UFO enthusiast, as was I believe Hillary's campaign manager Podesta. I believe he also I'm going off memory here, definitely read though, and he was into this stuff, and so he kind of threw bits into bills like oh, yeah, let's have the Pentagon investigate this. And so the reason you're getting more military stuff that we're oh, we're getting these guys who come out and they say there's evidence of aliens. We found these stuff we can't explain. I actually consider it's a marker of the way America's gone downhill because we've we just kind of let loopy UFO believer guys into the government and they started spamming weird stuff. You weren't getting this at peak America in the nineteen sixties, when we were putting a man on the Moon. We didn't have Werner von Braun coming out and going, oh, I have chinge alias. 00:07:47 Speaker 3: There was an interesting thing I saw on X where it was back in from the nineteen fifties and their CIA was doing some surveillance operations and this was actually uncovered where the CIA said, well, let's just go plant some US Fox stories to cover up for the surveillance activities that we were doing. So we know that that happens as well, but. 00:08:07 Speaker 4: War on the other yeah, and also the military today might be you use fake alien stuff to figure out who is stable enough to be trusted with information, So you just you give them the fake alienfa immediately start leaking or going nuts. 00:08:21 Speaker 3: You this, I'm sure this is what inspired it was Obama's alien comment. But then Trump said, well, Obama was talking about classified information, that information. That's a big no no. But maybe I'll just let him off the hook and release some stuff. Then he comes out with this true Social says, based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying, releasing government files related to alien and extraterrest's real life Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon UAPs and Unidentified flying object UFOs. I'm not exactly sure what the difference is and any and other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important manners. God bless America. 00:09:01 Speaker 4: I like this old tweet. If these guys existed, we better not find out, because we'll definitely start sending them money. 00:09:07 Speaker 3: Exactly for a lot of Americans, the healthcare system is reactive. You get sick, first, and then you wait for an appointment. Then insurance decides what you're allowed to have, and suddenly the medication you need is delayed or it's not available.

Who we got up? 00:10:33 Speaker 4: Like, let's see, do we have Anthony next? All right, Anthony's back, Anthony, welcome back to the show. 00:10:41 Speaker 2: What's up? Guys? 00:10:42 Speaker 6: Thank you? 00:10:43 Speaker 9: I think this makes it four weeks in a row. 00:10:46 Speaker 3: It He'll take you, man. Some some people ask good questions, so some. 00:10:49 Speaker 4: People take I appreciate that great questions. But this is a shout out. Guys. Come to anyone out there who's listening to this Kirk dot show. You can ask us whatever you want. 00:11:00 Speaker 3: Go for it, Anthony. 00:11:02 Speaker 9: Now, I won't ask you whatever you want, Blake, but I do have a question. So regarding this terariff stuff that's happened today, Andrew, I got it. Why does it look like Congress refuses to work with Trump? It seems like even the Republicans, and I don't mean all of them, but there's a good chunk them that refuse to work with him. Like, are we like serious don't they want the country to do well or they just want their own pockets to do well. 00:11:28 Speaker 3: So so Blake actually has a really good point on this. It relates to our conversations around the filibuster. So essentially we have a Congress that is a zombie Congress because you can never get anybody sixty senators to agree on anything, so it doesn't matter if it passes the House with a simple majority, it gets the Senate and dies. So the point is we are relying on bills that were past decades ago, that have never been updated, that are not current with our current situations, that haven't been updated because of AI or any of these kind of licensing issues that are currently we're struggling with. So Congress is essentially Nolan void. There is a zombie Congress in a lot of ways, not completely, but somewhat. 00:12:06 Speaker 4: As you said, I think Congress has gotten so used to being a sort of zombie Congress. The filibuster has been there so long, they're used to not really having to consider that their positions might become laws. 00:12:18 Speaker 3: That interesting because the Constitution does give the right to tax to the Congress, but then Congress can pass laws which delegates certain authorities and powers to the executive branch, which it is done in the nineteen thirties, ninety sixties, nineteen seventies. 00:12:33 Speaker 4: Congress loves to give powers to the president rather than exercise them themselves. And it's one of the biggest problems with Congress. They they fear power, they fear using the power given to them by the founders. 00:12:43 Speaker 3: It's also just harder. It's like hurting cats in Congress. I mean, we had you saw some of our conversation if you watched Thought Crime last night, which by the way, was an amazing episode. We'll have it on the podcast on Saturday. You know, you've got guys like Thomas Massey or Dom Bacon that are going to be nos for whatever reason, and they'll say it's on principle, maybe they've got a beef with the president. 00:13:04 Speaker 2: Whatever. 00:13:04 Speaker 3: We could debate that another time. It's just harder, especially when you have slim majorities. And then you've got this, you know, filibuster proof sixty vote threshold in the Senate. And so we're President Trump and any executive for that matter, is reliant upon statutes that have been passed by previous Congress Congresses. So all right, next question we got. This is John. 00:13:26 Speaker 4: John, thanks for waiting around and being patient. Unmute yourself. What do you have to ask? 00:13:30 Speaker 6: Good morning Andrew and Blake, Good morning John. Blessings Yeah, blessings from Tulsa, Oklahoma. 00:13:36 Speaker 3: Thank you. Blessings to you too, brother. What's up? 00:13:39 Speaker 6: Yes, So this week is the fifth year passing of Rush Limbaugh. And I was reading a Rush Limbaugh letter this week and I came across this article and basically it gets into the topic of smart versus educated, and I thought, especially in light of Charlie and college is a scam. Uh Yeah, I'd like to get your take on what is smart and in your opinion, what is educated? 00:14:08 Speaker 3: Blake? 00:14:08 Speaker 4: You want to start with man, There's so many ways you could go with that, because you could almost say, like, do you do you view educated positively or negatively? Because we're so we have so much credentialism in the US. You can get a PhD in this country without being as literate as one should go school online. PhD have had these crises. I think it was at UC San Diego where their remedial math course of high school level math was too difficult, so they had to introduce middle school level math for college students, and many of the students in those classes had four point zeros in their high school coursework. There's a girl I believe in Rhode Island who is suing or maybe no, Connecticut. 00:14:48 Speaker 3: It was in Connecticut. 00:14:49 Speaker 4: She's suing her old high school because they graduated her with honors and she cannot read. She made it through high school entirely using texts to speech. She sued her on her phone, her educ so failing her. You can go that direction. You can say education, its degree collection, has become increasingly meaningless. But there's also true education, as Charlie would say, bringing forth, I believe is leading leading forth, and true education is when you don't prioritize credentials. You don't prioritize jumping through hoops. You prioritize the cultivation of the mind. And that doesn't come from shelling out money for a degree. It doesn't come from grinding out a test. It comes from actually identifying what it is useful for a mind to know and cultivating that ability. And that, more than any time in the past century, I would say, is reliant on your self direction, far more than whatever you could learn in a school. 00:15:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would use different words actually, as opposed to smart and educated. I know what Rush was getting at, but I would say wise versus smart and educated, because there's a lot of people with a lot of raw horsepower intelligence that are dumber than Doornell because they don't know what the truth is. And so you talk about. 00:16:04 Speaker 4: Education means you could imagine three things. You might imagine smart, educated, and wise, and there are three different ways to go. 00:16:12 Speaker 3: Wisdom is a much different word. It echoes something deeper and more profound if you have the truth. So in order to know and to lead forth what we're talking about, the base root words of what education, how we derive that word to lead forth, you have to know where you're going. Otherwise it's the blind leading the blind. So where are we going? You have to know the truth, capital t truth. You have to understand the good, the true, and the beautiful, the eternal things, the things that are worth knowing, and then you can cultivate critical thinking skills that help you get to that truth. Right. And so this is why Charlie loved Hillsdale College because it's in learning institution, higher learning institution that is a classical education that leads forth to somewhere good that leads forth to critical thinking, deeper knowledge, deeper more profound wisdoms. And so you know, this is why you also love Socrates and Plato and Aristotle's why we study the classics. So I would say wise wisdom is in far too little supply. A lot of smart people that are very very dumb and that make poor decisions. And there's a lot of very credentialed people that make poor decisions. They become educated beyond their intelligence or beyond their wisdom. So that's how I would break it. 00:17:21 Speaker 6: Yeah, So I would say a couple of things too. First, as a believer, I think if we read in proverbs, that really contrasts wisdom versus knowledge. So reading proverbs, I think is very helpful to answer this question. The second thing, just to read a little bit from this article and just one sentence really. In this sentence, Russia is talking about the educated class and basically says they are committed believers, but they are not thinkers. Yet they consider themselves the smartest people in the room. And I think we all know some of those. 00:17:58 Speaker 3: That that's beautiful. That's beautiful from Rush, because what he's talking about is the disconnect between the elites and the credentialed class and the wisdom of the people. We the people, and as this show is always going to put our faith in the wisdom, the collective wisdom of the of the real Americans that make this country great. And there's more virtue in a lot in a plumber than there is in a Harvard educated PhD student oftentimes. 00:18:26 Speaker 2: Amen, thank you. 00:18:27 Speaker 3: Thank you, God bless you, and welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. Please unmute yourself. 00:18:33 Speaker 10: Hi, how you doing, guys? 00:18:35 Speaker 3: Doing great good? 00:18:38 Speaker 10: I had a couple of questions. One of them was about whether you could give us any update on the redistricting efforts and where that leaves us into mid terms in terms of like which states are doing it and where is it likely to happen. And then the other thing I wondered about was, I know you've had I think it's Mike Lee on talking about the talking filibuster, and I wondered if we had any info on how likely it is for fun to do that, because he doesn't seem inclined to do it, and if he did do it, what would that really do to help us with the Save Act? And then also, can you give us an idea if there are any moderate enough senators other than I guess what's his name from Pennsylvania is right, right, Yeah, who might actually be pushed by the public if they were interested in this eighty twenty issue. You know, could it could contacting any of them or Thoon make a difference. So that's what I was wondering about today. 00:19:39 Speaker 2: Thanks. 00:19:40 Speaker 3: So the update. Your first question was an update on the redistricting fight. Well, we've got a couple updates there. We had remind me of his name, the gentleman. It was Senator Glenn Sturt Virginia. 00:19:51 Speaker 4: Yeah, so he discussed their plan in Virginia to make a ten to one Democrat state that they've been trying to run through. That's gotten really interesting just in the past twenty four hours because a not the Supreme Court, but an intermediate court ruling basically said this referendum does seem to be illegal and they should not continue early voting efforts on it. And so you're actually getting individual counties in Virginia, they're kind of creating a state level constitutional crisis because they're saying they're not going to be proceeding with early voting, while other counties are. It's really becoming a mess there. I'm not sure which way that will go, but it's really illustrating. Maybe there is a shot that this could be blocked that would be very important for preserving a few seats in this next world. 00:20:35 Speaker 3: Well, and a judge rules on Tuesday that new congressional map in Missouri that favors Republicans is legal, so that score one for Republicans. South Carolina is moving forward with some plans to redistrict, so I would give the slight edge to Republicans right now. We had a gentleman named Larry Schweiker on the show earlier and he's been keeping track of that. It might be time to have him back on the show. As a matter of fact, he's keeping close tabs on this story. And I think that we would we would still have the slight edge here. It will depend on what happens in Virginia. It'll depend on what happens in Colorado if they move forward with their maps. Slight edge to Republicans though, just on a pure who's got more out of out of this? Right? So we'll see. Uh, It's it's kind of TBD. And again we look at our friends over in Indiana for failing to move forward with that apparent. We're still going for them. 00:21:26 Speaker 4: Yeah, we'reity on that. 00:21:28 Speaker 3: Because they it was a ridiculous decision, but it is what it is. 00:21:31 Speaker 11: Uh. 00:21:32 Speaker 3: And then you mentioned the talking filibuster with I think you were mentioning Mike Lee, how we had Mike Lee on this. 00:21:38 Speaker 4: Way will act? And she asked, is it good to contact them? It's always good to contact your lawmachers. 00:21:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, we should get Dune's number. 00:21:45 Speaker 4: You the best way to do it? Yeah, you call they sometimes you might even it might not even make sense that they react to these things because rationally a few dozen or a few hundred people calling in that doesn't represent tens of millions. But they do react to those things. Politics is about numbers, but also intensity. People who are more intense and more passionate and more vocal get more of what they want. 00:22:09 Speaker 8: Uh. 00:22:10 Speaker 3: Respect always be respectful. I will tell you that that is a is a key part. And we've got Senator Thune's DC number here. It's two zero two two two four two three two one two zero two two two four two three two one, So please contact the DC number. And then we've got I guess We've got a graphic up here with other officers who got an Aberdeen or rapid cities who fall Washington d C Office. So it's the washingt. 00:22:36 Speaker 4: DC call the DC office, especially if you're not if you're call you can feel calls southd Coote office if you are South Dakota, And I think that would be the fairest approach, but the DC one that that's where the senator is most of the time, that's where he's most likely to hear from his staffers. Oh man, we're getting blown up about this. Yep, exactly what I've worked those phones myself. 00:22:54 Speaker 3: He has signed on to the Save Act. The question is is he going to do the necessary work to get it over the fine. If we have Fetterman that is on board with it, that's not enough, obviously. But what the talking filibuster would do is it kind of takes it back to what Mike Lee describes as the original intent of the debate. Right. We often refer to the Senate as you know, the the what's the line I always use, It's the highest debate body in the world or something like that, and it really isn't because they don't debate anything. Because they can't get to sixty votes on anything, so they just it's all procedural and parliamentary tactics to block real debate. Mike Lee is saying, listen, we can debate, and you can debate as long as you want. Send your people up there until you exhaust your octogenarian senators and subtugenarian senators and they can't debate anymore, and then we'll have a vote and then fifty one votes will take it, or fifty plus one with Vice President of vance. So that's the spirit of it. I actually love it, and it's just a question of whether or not Thune will do it. There are some concerns with the talking filibuster. I've spoken with senators out this. There is concerns that the Democrats could game it anyways and essentially break a single bill into its different parts and the amendment process and essentially repeat a talking filbuster over and over and over again. In theory, you could stay there indefinitely. So there's concerns about the way it would be implemented. I think that will go back to Senator Thun and if he's going to put guardrails on a talking filbuster and how it can be implemented. But President Trump has been very clear we will have the Save Act one way or the other. I'm not exactly sure what he means, if that's an executive order or if he's going to do it by some other means. We'll see. He is dead serious about getting the Save Act, whether pass through Congress or the policies implemented in some other way. I think it's existential. I think it's ridiculous that you do not need a government issued idea and to prove your citizenship to vote in a federal election. So I'm a thousand percent behind it. It's common sense. I think that's why you see that eighty three percent of Americans already support it. I don't know what the problem is other than Democrats want to cheat, frankly, So that's where we're at on the SAVE I don't know if we got to all your questions, but I believe we got to. Most of. 00:25:10 Speaker 4: The online world moves fast, and it's moving even faster these days. That's why TikTok approaches teen safety with families in mind from the start, because discovery and creativity are both wonderful things, but it's important to make sure that safety comes first as well. On TikTok, teenagers have over fifty built in protections right from when they join. Accounts routines all start private by default, They're not open to the entire world, and for those under sixteen, direct messages are turned off. Only their friends can comment on their videos. And that kind of approach matters because feeling confident and comfortable about these platforms your teenagers are on shouldn't mean digging through a bunch of menus and trying to set everything up yourself and worrying that you got it wrong. TikTok is taking a proactive approach. Their protections are built in from the moment those teenagers join, so that safety and peace of mind her parents is there right from the start. All of this is to say when safety comes first, discovery and creativity can follow without fear. Learn more by going to TikTok dot com slash guardians Guide. That's TikTok dot com slash guardians guide. Uh so we have a written in question from uh, let's do now, let's do this one. Sorry crap, I'm in the wrong window here. Let's do the one from Sam here? 00:26:30 Speaker 3: Uh? 00:26:31 Speaker 4: He says, have you guys seen I've heard about the uh, the the Alyssa Goo one or I mean Goo Yeah, I'd be heard about Alicia Lou. I'm gonna mix up these names. 00:26:40 Speaker 3: And Ileen Goo is the freestyle skier from America that competes for the CCP. And then Alysia Lou is just won the gold medal yesterday and it was wonderful because she was she listened. I've been told that Alyssa Lou is a wokie. She's a far lefty, but she is not disrespect the country at all. Her dad fled the CCP China, who partook in the Tianeman Square massacre protest. It was student led protests nineteen eighty nine. He flees to America. They have been surveilled by the CCP. The FBI has told him they've been under surveillance trying to intimidate his daughter, Alyssa Lou from skating for the US team. She did it anyways, and she got gold, the first time a woman's got gold and figure skating in twenty four years. 00:27:25 Speaker 4: Let's have the clip at the other end. We can go fair enough. 00:27:27 Speaker 3: Blake's right, we should play this clip six fifty one. It's pretty compelling stuff. Six to fifty one. 00:27:34 Speaker 11: The Chinese government has never let me go. They sent spies to the US. The spy actually became friends with me. I befriended him, I helped him a lot, you know, you severed him down in the San Francisco Bay area, and I treated him as my friend. And many years later he confessed that he was actually a spy for the Chinese government on me. 00:28:12 Speaker 4: It really, lou Versus Goott really unpacked some interesting trends here because both we've had area we've had they were both from the Bay Area. We've had Chinese Americans in America for a long time, but I think we've been used to them being either just they've been here ages or they are anti communist refugees. They came here after it fell to now after the Cultural Revolution, after Tanonomous as he did. He came here after the Tauanoman Square massacre. And now we have a much greater number of Chinese in America who are just here to work jobs. They're fully they're Chinese patriots. They're on board with the Chinese system, or at least not critics of it, and they're really not shy about spreading using these as means of getting influenced. We've seen dark stuff in Canada. Can never dump on Canada enough. We've had actual candidates for off us who are just blatantly China loyalists. There was a candidate for the Liberal Party in Canada who was staying at a rally in Chinese, speaking in Chinese to other Chinese residents. Hey, it'd be great if someone basically went and took out my opponent who's an anti CCP Chinese dissident, and he was just he was saying this in the Chinese language. We've had a lot of cases of infiltration, we have a lot of cases of espionage. And one of the things China does is they tend to view all Chinese abroad as essentially they either are under their control or they should be, they should be subject to Beijing's will. So they'll send spies to spy on these people, to monitor these people, to harass these people, and in theory even to kidnap do crimes to these people. And we're going to see more and more of this. 00:29:53 Speaker 3: I think it's a tale of two Well, listen, you've got the Aileen gu who went over back to the CCP. She changed countries that she was competing for in twenty nineteen in preparation for twenty twenty two Olympics. So now she's back. She fell. I think she won silver, she didn't get gold. And then you've got Alyssaalu A Lissa Lou. Eileen goover so Alissa Lou. And here she is celebrating being the first US woman. She raised and born and raised in America. She's a completely American. She is the first US woman to win gold in figure skating in twenty four years. It's just an amazing story. And I listen, I don't care what her politics are. She's done it the right way. And this is my general theme for all Olympic athletes. I don't care if you're a dumber, I don't care the Republican, but do not disgrace our country. And Alyssa Lou has not disgraced our country. She's shut her mouth. She's just said, I'm so happy to be here. I don't care if I get a medal. I just want people to see my art on the ice. That's what she's done. She stood at that podium, she jumped for joy, and it's just a beautiful thing. 00:31:01 Speaker 4: And I want to say as a note, So Aileen Agu has made what twenty million dollars? 00:31:07 Speaker 3: You make huge amount of million dollars a year. 00:31:09 Speaker 4: Because she was willing to renaturalize herself to China, not say anything bad about the government. Represent China, was rewarded handsomely. They wanted Lou to do the same thing. She was approached. They wanted her to escape for them in twenty two and in this Olympics, and she refused to do so. Her father said, a was adamantly opposed. She turned down. It sounds like tens of millions of dollars to proudly represent America. And you know she's a lib But I would hope that our country is prepared to reward her for that, because she should be seen as a patriotic hero. 00:31:44 Speaker 3: For that she is. And you know this island Gou. It's kind of a tale of elitism. She's a stand for grad. Her parents were very successful Silicon Valley types, venture capitalists. And then she took the money. She went back and took twenty million dollars a year, and she is annoyingly arrogant. Play six three thirty three. 00:32:06 Speaker 4: Do you see these as two silvers gained or two goals lost. 00:32:12 Speaker 12: I'm the most decorated free female free skier in history. I think that's an answer in and of itself. How do I say this? Winning a medal at the Olympics is a life changing experience for every athlete. Doing it five times is exponentially harder, because every medal is equally hard for me, but everybody else's expectations rise, right, And so the two medals lost situation, to be quite frank with you, I think is kind of a ridiculous perspective to take. I'm showcasing my best skiing. I'm doing things that quite literally have never been done before, and so I think that is more than good enough. 00:32:53 Speaker 4: But thank you. 00:32:56 Speaker 3: If that wasn't annoying enough, here's her posing with Kamala Harris. Fifty five is a very very fascinating image. Six to fifty five. There it is, she's right there, And just because she's so annoying, we're going to play her falling six forty nine. 00:33:14 Speaker 8: Two nine hundreds to start things off, and just look at that air. 00:33:19 Speaker 10: Ah. 00:33:21 Speaker 1: Then I league catches a ski on the deck. 00:33:24 Speaker 4: Oh man, that is high pressure. 00:33:27 Speaker 8: I mean, gets up, gonna get that skey. But in a two run qualifying format. She only has one run now to lock in her spot for finals. What went wrong on that hit? I mean, this is an easier trick than those first two nine hundred. It's a perfect grab, just kind of catches the lip a little bit, and the lip is just the top edge of that half hype and so close. This is oh man, listen, I couldn't. 00:33:57 Speaker 3: Do any of that. 00:33:57 Speaker 4: That clip gives me joy. 00:33:59 Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't do it that. So I'll just say that out at the outset here. But sorry, not sorry, not sorry, I don't I do not have to cheer for Chinese nationals. Too bad it didn't work out. Oh, we do have one more six to Okay, this is jd Vance talking about island, but we have a lot. Good job, good up on the prep. Sixty six forty six. 00:34:21 Speaker 7: Aileen gu is skiing for China. You were at the Olympics at the Open. Some Ennis Cantor has said she's a trader. Some people has said that this is a treasonous to ski for China and to overlook Jimmy Lai and the Wigers and pretend like those things aren't problems is a huge problem. What do you think her status should be should be changed. 00:34:40 Speaker 13: Well, look, I'm not gonna I have no idea what she should her status should be. I think that's ultimately up to the Olympics committee. 00:34:47 Speaker 2: I won't pretend to wait into that. I certainly think that. 00:34:50 Speaker 13: Somebody who grew up in the United States of America, who benefited from our education system, from the freedoms and liberties that make this country a great place, I would hope that they want to compete with the United States of America. 00:35:00 Speaker 2: So I'm going to root for American. 00:35:02 Speaker 13: Athletes, and I think part of that is people who identify themselves as Americans. That's who I'm rooting for this Olympics. 00:35:09 Speaker 3: And Aileen Goo responded to Jade Vance and she said, this is six thirty six, so many athletes compete for a different country. People only have a problem with me doing it because they kind of lumped China into this monolithic entity and they just hate China. So it's not really about what they think it's about. No, it's about exactly what we think it's about. 00:35:29 Speaker 4: You took the money, you went to your trainer, you are you are judged slightly differently for joining with an authoritarian, despotic Enemy of America compared to just yeah, if you if your granddad is from Italy and you could only make that team instead of the American team. I don't like it. I still genuinely do dislike it, and I don't think we should allow it nearly as much as we do. But yeah, we're gonna treat it more harshly. 00:35:52 Speaker 3: Yep, sorry, sorry, Aileen Goo, you are awful. We do not like you. 00:35:57 Speaker 4: Boo to goo boo to goo, but us to Loo woo tullo woo. 00:36:02 Speaker 3: Tello boo boo togo boo do looo sweet Loo. We love sweet Loo. 00:36:11 Speaker 4: For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com
