Debunking the Exploding Mic + Left-Wing Murder in UK

**Charlie Kirk** (0:03)
My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am, Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

All right. Welcome everybody. It's The Charlie Kirk Show. It's July 22nd, 2026 We are here at the Y Reef High Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Honored to be with you all from sea to shining sea. And we get off with a bang here. We have Congressman Brandon Gill, who is one of the biggest, most exciting rising stars in the conservative ranks. And man, did he have a field day yesterday.
Talking about the Smithsonian and white supremacy and all kinds of fun things. Congressman, welcome back to the show. It's great to have you as always. Can you just tell our audience what this was even about, first of all?

**Brandon Gill** (1:55)
Yeah, thanks for having me.
This was about the Smithsonian as an American institution that has been so deeply and thoroughly ideologically captured by the left. For the past several years, the Smithsonian has been pushing left-wing exhibits, left-wing ideologies. They've infused their entire museum, really, with a form of cultural Marxism that looks at history through the lens of migration and through sexuality and through things that have nothing really seriously or directly to do with history. That's been a problem and you can see that practically in exhibits that they put up where they'll show pictures of a man wearing bondage gear, showing off all kinds of sexual fetishes, where they will promote the transgender Guatemalan activist, illegal alien, who's trying to sway American elections, but then downplay our founding fathers. I mean, this is the kind of stuff that has gotten into this museum and our goal in Congress is to oversee this institution and ensure that American tax dollars, especially dollars that are funding this are being well spent and that this institution is actually promoting American interests.

**Andrew Colvett** (3:11)
Okay. So that's a great premise and a great setup. And I completely agree with your starting point that this is a captured institution. So any changes to bring balance to it, they act like President Trump and the Trump administration, and you guys in Congress are a bunch of fascists for trying to actually present something that isn't completely demoralized about the history of America. And that was the tell for me when I saw these clips coming through yesterday. And I have to say, and I want to compliment you on something, because it's a very difficult needle to thread as a Congressman.
You are a clip machine. The team is telling me that like all over social media, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, your clips go viral all the time. But I don't perceive any bit of you that's necessarily trying to do that. You don't get excited. You're not being brash. You're not being loud. You're not doing what Jasmine Crockett does and like taking on some Southern accent. You're just being direct with the facts and I love these clips. So I'm going to play a couple for them and have you react on the other side. Satu.

**Brandon Gill** (4:16)
Would you say that the goal of history is to be objective?

**SPEAKER_4** (4:19)
You know, I think that there are many goals of history. And certainly, as you collect, as we do, examine evidence, create scholarship.

**Brandon Gill** (4:27)
Is objectivity one of the goals of history?

**SPEAKER_4** (4:30)
We strive to be objective and nonpartisan.

**Brandon Gill** (4:33)
That seemed a little bit concerning. It certainly does to me because as part of this white supremacy document that your organization has promoted, objectivity is a core in defining aspect of white supremacy culture. Do you think that it's the goal of the Smithsonian Institution to promote white supremacy culture? Are you promoting a white supremacy culture at the Smithsonian?
