Yeah, every one of us who has seen & heard Charlie's BS on YouTube over the years gets pretty pissed off when some MAGA moron lies about what we've witnessed over and over again. They're the type who would say the skies are clear when it's obvious there is a severe thunderstorm occuring.
I spend a lot of time jousting with right wingers and that's a go to response for them because chances are we don't have that information quickly accessible so they claim they never heard of it and demand that I educate them on the spot. If I don't then I must be lying
You were on fire yesterday Michaelangelo, when I could tune in. I didn't hear these MAGAloons, but I did hear the discussion with the kid from Nebraska. One thing I would ask a guy like that is, "what is in it for you?" Try to discern why he believes he's benefiting from owning the libs. Like, what do you do for a living? Does the Trump agenda benefit that? Do you feel your self defined enemies are trying to hurt you in some way and if so, how? How do you befinit economically being a MAGA? Otherwise, trying to go tit for tat with them on facts is pointless, because they subscribe to propaganda networks and believe things that are not true, but importantly, why does that matter to them? We'll never get past this us versus them thing until we start helping them understand why they value being "us" and not "them."
There was also the guy from Nebraska that called either yesterday or Wednesday who kept throwing disinformation at you and you responded to each BS point he was making, but then he kept trying a new subject trying to find something that would stick. Finally he asked what you've done to help out people in the African American community, and that was a good time to cut him off:) He needs to prepare a little better next time!
The MAGA cult can't deal with the fact that the scumbag they attempted to make into a saint was an all-round bigoted piece of shit grifter. Not to mention this was not an assassination, it was the result of some MAGA gang turf war. I swear TPUSA and the groypers are basically the bloods and crips of the MAGA world.
"Ken didn’t know what to do, the world collapsing in on his MAGA narrative." Exactly. I think many people on the right hear Kirk's name and the word "Christian" in the same sentence and make assumptions without knowing anything about him, or wanting to know the truth about him. Good job on handling the call.
A lot of the maga, although I’m not justifying their stupidity or gullibility, have been so brainwashed and groomed by white washing from the right wing media outlets that some really have no idea the cruelty and evil they are actually following and supporting!!
You know you have a maga person when they either regurgitate a racist trope, talking points or they try and get you with a AHA moment!!
You know they are usually not thinking for themselves!!
Michelangelo always spot on. It is absolutely wonderful listening to you engage with the willfully ignorant and uninformed. So many train wrecks and dumpster fires….so little time. It makes perfect sense why we have the dictatorship that Trumpsters voted for. Hopefully if Democrats by some miracle gain back the house they can begin by advocating for increased funding for rabies testing, mad cows disease and CAT scans and mandatory mental health evaluations for MAGA elected house , senate and all branches of government officials. Thank you all for your attention to this matter ( not in caps)
Ugh, dumb MAGA callers doing their dumb "Pwn the libs" phone calls. They never call whenever their orange lord and savior screws up something horrible.
You had a maga caller that had less focus than my dog- once u shot down his trump never silenced Kimmel like Dems silenced trump BS— he went on to say trump gave the most $ to HBCUS.
Nope
Trump DOE gave $114 million. ( $435m is being distributed to tribal schools and non hbcus).
Biden DOE gave $1.7 BILLION in one year! Also trump TOOK AWAY funds from any minority colleges- such as all female and all Christian only colleges!
“the Biden-Harris administration’s allocation to HBCUs by year, the administration
You would be a more powerful voice if you would be silent while the caller spoke. A pause before responding. Respect rather than argumentation and 'talking over' the caller. I share your views but lament your approach. Let them speak. Pause. Answer without 'attitude'. That's the more powerful way forward.
i will take that into account but do you mean in general or these calls? I thought I was rather tame in these calls. Do you regularly listen to the program?
I meant these calls ... had never seen you before and, like I said, I agree with your views but as a former Speech professor, among other things, I just recoil when people talk over each other. In that moment, both speakers 'lose' ... the point they're trying to make, the respect of the listener, the personal power they could otherwise assert.
I may have jumped the gun since I had never seen you in my feed before so I apologize if I came across as highly critical. I just believe we have to 'woo' listeners and viewers with our self composure and measured speech and behavior.
Ho, always open to suggestions. Thank you. If you only heard some of the other calls though -- as I said, these are tame, ha! i think sometimes you have to hear it in the context of the show. Some of them are really nasty and it's a high energy show, might not be your cup of tea. But you are right -- the more calm you stay, the more crazy they sound, and yes, let them get their thought out. Godo advice.
Disagree. Michelangelo is more than patient with these loons. What I have seen happen is that he will ask them a question and they'll immediately come back with some unlreated point, quickly switching to whataboutism rather than answering the question. Why should Michelangelo have to then continue being patient to address each of their inane points, when they clearly will not debate fairly and simply and truthfully answer his question? At that point, they are fair game for being talked over, since this is Michelengelo's show and they are simply trying to troll and not have a discussion. They deserve the firehose he directs on them at that point.
I get the impression that when the trumpers ask for an example of the hate speech, they have never heard Charlie Kirk speak.

I remember hearing those calls last week on his show. Those MAGA people are so full of shit!
We love you
You are sweet, thank you!

oh that guy! Weird

Your level of patience with the MAGAts never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks for going there so we don't have to.
Have a great weekend, Mike! I'm planning a restful weekend after my COVID booster this afternoon. Be well, everyone....

Its all about keeping the Epstein files out of the news.
Kirk was for releasing the files. Now he's gone. His death has become the distraction they needed.

that it had set a record for investing over $17 billion between fiscal years 2021 and September 2024.”
HBCUs are grateful and thrilled trump did not completely cut them out. But it is Pennies compared to previous presidents.
