Ask Charlie Anything 214: Picking Campus Visits? Vegas Shooting Truth? 2025's Most Crucial Election?

So you got to be careful with that. Remember, they have first past the post. So I don't. What do you mean? So when they hold an election, there's like four major parties in Canada, I guess, like kind of three at the national level. And it's just whoever gets the most votes gets the seat in their parliament.

The Charlie Kirk Show

So what I'm saying is I'm not sure if we suddenly shifted them to just Republicans and Democrats. I kind of think Alberta would still be a blue state. You do? Yeah. Really? My gut feeling.

Yeah. So what's funny with the filibuster is, as I've mentioned to you before, the filibuster is fake. Like the filibuster could be eliminated at any time. And it's maintained because both parties in the Senate have an interest in just not voting on things that they nominally support.

So, you know, with Mitch McConnell, it was, oh, we can use the filibuster as an excuse to not do border stuff with Democrats. It's Joe Biden doesn't necessarily want to pack the Supreme Court because he thinks they'll get blown up. It's a thing that protects the majority party from votes. It does not want to take. But it is still true, as you say, that if you get rid of it.

It is the Pandora's box. And I think what's especially important to emphasize is whoever takes the first move on abolishing the filibuster won't get as much out of it as the second party to take office after it's gone.

If you were going to do it, I would say you should do it immediately after an election to get the most out of it. Yeah, but then the Democrats will do it to us. They will. But if you were going to do it, you'd want to get the most out of it. You don't want to do it right before an election and then you lose power and they get the full.

Cuomo is a lot like Gavin, actually, in that he's very he's a canny political operator. Yes, he got pushed. They did. They get them. They got him out on me, too. Right. Yeah.

Just the questions? I just I think people people have a bias to demand like big causes for things. And so I remember it was bizarre when I was with when I was with Tucker.

Well, I was with Tucker. We had a guy who he was saying I think he was on the National Security Council and he was trying to say, like, we have evidence that it was a joint ISIS Antifa operation. And to be honest, when I heard that, I'm like, oh, this person is crazy.

outside the realm of possibility that just a lunatic would decide to gun down a lot of people and i think what stands out is if someone else did it it's just why like no i'm not even i just i'm not shocked at your opinion um and it's persuasive
