**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.

**Andrew Colvett** (1:17)
All right, welcome everybody. It's August 25th, 2026 We're here in Phoenix, Arizona at the YREFY Studios. How are we doing Blake?

**Blake** (1:24)
Oh, we're doing splendid.

**Andrew Colvett** (1:25)
It's been a really fun morning around here because every so often a really important interview comes along and it just exposes everything. Now, I like-

**Blake** (1:37)
Hopefully not exposed too much in this case.

**Andrew Colvett** (1:39)
It's exposed more than we wanted to actually, then a couple of these exchanges. This is a personal question, Doctor. We'll get to that in just a second. But Jesse Waters had US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on his show last night. This thing is a veritable clip machine. There's so much worth getting into here because there is an undercurrent, a narrative that is percolating on social media that yours truly, or Blake, or Charlie, certainly would count among those, only have an issue with the rise of Islam in the West because it is some Zionist opp.
That is not true.
That is a lie. And when you have a piece of tape like we're about to play you from this interview with El-Sayed and Jesse Waters, you realize how true the, I guess, concerns surrounding Islam truly are, and they have nothing to do with Israel. Okay? Yeah, there is overlap. But there are true incompatibilities that emerge when you ask pointed questions. And so to Jesse Waters' credit, I like Jesse, he's a friend. He did a great job. So we're going to start with some of the easy ones. Let's just talk about reparations. Let's start there and we'll work our way into the more Islamic-centered questions. Stop for.

**Jesse Waters** (3:01)
Reparations. Do you support that?

**Abdul El-Sayed** (3:07)
I think we need to have an honest conversation about the incredible debt that was put upon black folks as a function of slavery that we have yet to pay. And I just think that's fair. Like, if people are enslaved and forced into servitude, and then we don't actually have a conversation about all that was owed, that our own country agreed was owed, I just think that it's high past time to have a conversation. That shouldn't be a crazy thing. I think it's important for our country to have a conversation about how we make people whole.

**Jesse Waters** (3:34)
You want to have a conversation about it, because we have you on the record as backing it, but now you just want to have a conversation. I got it.

**Blake** (3:42)
That lingo always irks me. We need to have a conversation. That always means, I want to do X, but I'm going to frame this like a nagging housewife or something.

**Jesse Waters** (3:53)
It's a Trojan horse.

**Andrew Colvett** (3:54)
It's a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's a poison pill. Have a conversation is expand the Overton window to the point where normie America goes, Yeah, you know what? We should all gather together and pay trillions of dollars to people that never were slaves by people who never owned them.

**James DeMelo** (4:08)
I mean, that was what 2020 was.

**Blake** (4:09)
Oh, we're going to have a national conversation about race. And it turns out the conversation was rip down statues, loot stores, get rid of every standard at universities, double the murder rate.

**Andrew Colvett** (4:20)
That's exactly right. Let's have a conversation about taking the country further left.
Reject that. As soon as some lefty says, let's have a conversation, just know in the back of your head, he's full of crap, reject it, move on. Okay, stop five.
