Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1010.151

Yeah. I think it happened when I was just starting college. Maybe 09. Maybe 09.

The Charlie Kirk Show

1240.595

I think LeBron – the thing about LeBron, like super villainous stuff with LeBron is LeBron is sort of – like when he's annoying, it's almost in this like childish way, if that makes any sense. Like one thing that never got investigated at like the peak of the, you know, kind of like I don't think it was during Floyd. It might have been slightly before it.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1262.287

But like he very obviously faked someone faked a hate crime against LeBron's front door where they were like someone graffitied hateful stuff. And like considering it's LeBron James, a very famous person, this got. No one was talking about it very soon after and they've never spoken of it since. I think it's very obvious something suspicious happened there.

1282.739

And then like the things where he'll try to be a thought leader and he'll just be reading the first page of every book. Like there's no evidence LeBron James has ever read past the second page of any book ever. And like, and obviously the decision, like he's, he's always just like corny. And then, you know, he won't say anything bad about China. Cause like, that's the brand. And, um,

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1304.608

I find it hard to believe a guy who goofs up in all of these funny ways would be involved in anything super sinister with Diddy. Is LeBron even rumored to cheat on his wife? All of these guys are really bad. And then he's just a family guy. He wants to be a dad. He wants his son to be in the NBA, even though he's not that good at basketball.

1357.377

How many people would just get invited to a billionaire rapper's party and be like, yeah, he's a billionaire rapper. I'm going to go. And then they go and they're like, that was kind of weird.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1417.686

So take it away. I know nothing about it. It's great. Daisy knows a lot about this, too. It perfectly overlaps. And, you know, it's a better sport than the NBA, in my opinion. So Joe Burrow is the quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals. He is very good. The Bengals... Are not so good. It's been a weird season. He's having one of the best seasons ever for a guy on a losing team.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1438.916

But they were on Monday Night Football this week. And I can't remember. Did they win this time or did they lose in another back-breaking fashion?

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1455.922

And then it was recovered by the Bengals. So, like, they should have had a good play. 27-20.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1463.405

The downside here is some organized burglars, you know, they knew Joe Burrow was going to be on Monday Night Football. So they went and they burgled his house.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1472.868

while he was on you know while he was at the stadium and it turns out the house was not empty and i had never heard of the person who was there but daisy had heard of the person who was there so daisy how about you explain what they found there

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

148.248

But I've got to say she was totally correct on Taylor Swift's impact on the presidential election. There was a lot of stuff where people were thinking Taylor Swift is their secret weapon. They have this whole plan for her to make it Kamala. And Daisy just said she's going to do some like one off endorsement and it's not going to matter and she's not going to talk about it again.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1589.942

But then it does seem that people have discussed like there haven't been a photo of him with this long term girlfriend for like a year.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1610.519

That's so this is this is when you might not remember this because you have been young. But have you ever heard of Sean Taylor?

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1618.729

Sean Taylor was a player for the Washington Redskins who they were doing that. They were trying to break into his home during a game. He had been injured and they didn't realize that. So he was not at the game. He was at home with his family. And then they shot and killed him.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1635.049

So this is it's a crazy thing. And I'm just going to come out and say it. It's probably going to be more common now because we have let organized burglary rings into the United States under Joe Biden's illustrious border policies.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1664.538

Huh. Yeah, there are just professional rings like this. And that's a much bigger problem in Latin America. In Latin America, rich people will have family members kidnapped for ransom. Kidnapping people for ransom is a TV show plot here. But it happens in other countries quite often.

Most people don't have – maids who are Instagram models or whatever she is.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1716.61

Maybe we need to pay for people to have Instagram housekeepers because that's how they were able to catch it and know what was going on. What's the conclusion of this story?

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

173.803

Yeah, I've got to give her credit where credit's due. She nailed that one.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1745

But if he hadn't been cheating, no one would have caught the burglary at the time.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1908.719

Blank. I mean, it's it's crazy, actually, like the butterfly effect of this case. Like a lot of people don't know Stephen Miller, currently deputy White House chief of staff. one of the smartest guys in the administration. He was a Duke student at the time this was all going down. He made a name for himself opposing the lynch mob that they whipped up against these lacrosse players.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1932

And he's a talented guy. I think he would have followed a similar course anyway. But we can think that's the first time... America saw Stephen Miller in any capacity. And also that was probably important to his ideological formation that he went through this, that he saw how the left operated up close.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1950.992

And it's so telling, like it's such a perfect microcosm of so many of the forces we would see in the coming years that people assumed these guys were guilty because basically they looked a certain way. They were just like, everyone knows that these white frat bros just are raping people constantly. And that was somehow considered a valid argument.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

1988.331

Yeah. So, I mean, we're going to have to get rid of this with the Trump with the new Trump administration, because the Obama administration came up with these rules where they said to adhere to Title nine, you actually have to have kangaroo courts like your threshold for considering someone guilty of or responsible for sexual assault.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

2006.857

It has to just be preponderance of the evidence, which is you have to evaluate as 50 percent likely or or more. And they would say, yeah, you actually have to have hearings that don't follow – you don't have to confront your accusers. You don't even necessarily get to know who your accusers are. And they would say, you have to do this or you violate Title IX.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

2028.045

And Trump got rid of that in his first term. And then Biden – there were so many things going bad with Biden that didn't get a lot of attention. But he brought that back and made it worse. And we need to throw that out immediately and try to give that teeth because – It's almost forgotten now, but a lot of the 2010s, you have these shrill claims. They would say, like, one in four.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

2056.815

They would claim, like, one in four women are raped on college campuses. Like, those are numbers that you get during, like, a civil war in Central Africa. It is not what is going on on an Ivy League campus. And you would get these strange things. All right, Dandy. Yeah.

involving jay-z now so we all know about what's going on with puff daddy all right uh p diddy is did he use the puff anymore has he used on comb i've never heard anyone refer to him as that like it's only diddy i don't know if it's like a generational thing or what but i think it's obsolete it's i think andrew might be showing his generation here Yes, I am.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

504.915

why is this a civil case explain that well so keep in mind uh it is a lower burden of proof and a lot of these cases they are old and hearsay and this will just be me controversial these sorts of sorted cases they do get a lot of their mileage out of just how incredibly scandalous it is and let's be honest a lot of the time people are they're looking for a payout they're looking for

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

529.384

yeah like a settlement yeah they're looking for a settlement and that doesn't necessarily mean it didn't happen but I think there are certainly plenty of cases where they play up minor behavior to make it seem much more severe or they invent stuff out of whole cloth and I'm just going to be controversial and say I think people have learned the script at this point where if you come forward at the right time because he's already someone who's vulnerable because the diddy thing is happening there's a bit of a feeding frenzy so

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

563.078

2000. That is 24 years ago. That's before everyone has a smartphone in their pocket. That's before there's cameras showing where everyone is at all times. So you could very plausibly... You can basically just make whatever allegation you want. And could it ever be proven?

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

603.179

That's without even other possibilities. Sometimes people are just nuts. There's a person I know who was...

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

608.523

basically being it didn't even end up getting filed but they were like privately accused by someone and it seemed like there were all these signs oh this would be this could be real this person like has you know is a respected member of the community and like it just turned out the person was actually mentally had like mental problems and like they were just targeting a famous person

The Charlie Kirk Show

Pop Culture Power Hour: Joe Burrow's Surprise Houseguest, Jay-Z's Abuse Allegations, Duke Lacrosse Accuser Recants

644.506

The most interesting aspect of this that we haven't hit on yet is it's caused people to finally ask like, wait, how did Jay-Z actually meet Beyonce? Because now people are saying, were they, were they a couple when she was... 16 instead of when she was 19?

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

1006.698

Could it be like a weapon used by the Cubans? and suddenly everyone was getting sick and you had State Department officials who thought they were being shot by like a heat ray in the DC suburbs because their deputy undersecretary of something stupid was clearly super important for Russia to attack. And you started getting reports from all around the world for this.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

1027.426

And it happened because people started talking about it and wildly speculating. And so I think the simplest explanation here is someone says, I think I saw something weird in the sky. So now tons of people are looking at the sky

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

1039.608

And if you're looking at the sky when you normally don't and trying to find something weird when you're normally not... And there are, in fact, lots of planes and lots of drones in northern New Jersey. It's a densely populated, wealthy place with lots of stuff in the air. You're going to see stuff. Like, I've seen stuff in the sky over Phoenix that I thought looked a little weird.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

1059.879

Like hovering lights and they just were suspended there. Rationally speaking, I think it was probably just planes or maybe a satellite or something. That is what I think it will turn out to be here. But famous last words. Maybe I'll look stupid.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

154.335

I'm doing great, Charlie. You're not getting used to that. I'm doing great, Andrew.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

253.398

All right. So as I'm sure people have heard by now, there's a story where there are a large number of, as they say, UAPs now, like unknown aerial phenomenon or unmanned aerial phenomenon, something like that. where people are seeing things in the air. And there's been a big cluster of them in the last two weeks in northern New Jersey. People are saying they're seeing large numbers of aircraft.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

277.689

They're describing things that, oh, there we have one on the screen there, where some of them they say are about the size of an SUV or a little bit bigger. Some of them they can't tell how big they are. They claim they're moving in odd ways. And they claim they're seeing them near potentially sensitive sites like military installations, reservoirs, military facilities. Trump's golf course.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

299.818

Yeah, Trump's golf course. Now, what I will say, my counter to this is a few things. One, all of this started happening in the past two weeks. And you know what happened a few weeks ago, Andrew, is we switched to standard time from daylight saving time. So it's getting dark. Earlier now. So let's start with that. This is pointed out online. And apparently there have been recently.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

325.331

Some route changes to air routes. In the northern New Jersey area. So it's possible that planes are flying. In different locations than they used to. On top of that. I think people underrate the degree to which you can totally just feed a hysteria about this sort of thing.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

341.298

How often are you actually looking at everything in the sky and thinking, is that a plane or is that a drone or is that something else? I think most people aren't doing that. And... But now it's a news story. So you have tons of people doing that. So you've you've totally primed it for people to look at the sky and decide they're seeing drones everywhere.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

360.11

And we have these reports where they're saying, oh, yeah, this drone was hovering in the same spot for six hours. And, you know, drones and planes can't really do that that easily. I'm going to say maybe someone does have an uninterrupted six hour video of a drone doing that. But my guess is that's not the case.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

379.793

I strongly suspect what's going on is someone, for example, is looking and they see a thing there and they're watching it for a while. And then maybe they look somewhere else and talk to someone for a bit or eat dinner. And they come back and they're like, wow, that drone is still there. But it might actually just be a different thing.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

396.465

And if a plane is flying away from you or towards you, it's going to look like it's hovering in place. And lastly, I'm just going to say, if you look at some of the images people are posting, It is obviously a private jet. It has the FAA lights. It has the wings. It has the, you know, the engines on the tail. They're obviously just private jets.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

417.661

And, you know, not all of the videos look exactly like that. But the fact that people are sharing those and thinking, oh, man, this is a drone from Iran, is not reassuring for people's deductive capabilities with this story.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

547.191

When they say over, keep in mind, this is northern New Jersey. It is a densely populated area. I think people say over, and it implies hovering 300 feet off the ground over one spot. But if it's just flying in the sky nearby... Over 1,000 planes a day land at Newark.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

845.883

I guess I don't see something terribly mysterious. He said, guys, first of all, a lot of those are obviously planes, which I don't disagree with. I think they're obviously planes. And then he's saying, the stuff we would have that would corroborate

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

860.337

The, you know, the reports from the public, which is, you know, we have the Coast Guard is the Coast Guard finding any evidence of drones, you know, coming in from from the from the ocean that would go back to that mothership. No, he says they haven't seen this. Do we have commercial pilots supporting like, whoa, there's a ton of planes in the air that aren't on our air traffic control.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

881.338

They're not supposed to be here. Apparently, no, we haven't had commercial pilots saying that. Do we have reports of them actually going into the restricted airspace around military facilities and so forth? No, we don't.

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

892.806

Like, I think the Pentagon is is they're actually trying to, you know, play easy with people where, you know, maybe if this was 2020 and they were maximally arrogant, they would just say these are conspiracy theories and disinformation that is being promoted by disinformation actors, including Russia on social media. They're not doing that. They're just sort of saying, guys,

The Charlie Kirk Show

What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?

982.998

That's true. But again, I would encourage people to think about how sort of a popular... Panic can take place where it's like Havana syndrome. I like to make fun of Havana syndrome. That's where you had the CIA guys who were in Havana when we reopened the embassy there or reopened the office there, I guess. And so we had those guys there and one of them's like, I've got a weird headache.
