WIRED Roundup: How Charlie Kirk Changed Conservative Media

Joey Shifer: So where does the right -wing media leaving the traditional -based right -wing media like Fox News? Is it replacing it or working in tendem?

Jack Lahut: I think it’s even more. Fox’s programming was dominated by the murder of Curk last night. I think that for many original fox personalities, people like Charlie Kork and I assume that in the cinematic universe in the vast USA, these small statistics are truly important, because I think that many more established conservative media TV hosts start to introduce that audience and start to introduce yourself in the house. And this is also just something interesting, because Democrats are trying to do these versions for a while and as we mentioned earlier, the conventional knowledge said that Democrats will always keep this benefit to younger voters. So I think it’s very interesting to see what the turning point is going to be after the USA; And then the amount of the door he opens is only a different type of profile, an image with a different type of charisma, perhaps even more extreme on some issues. So here is a very valid, almost a power vacuum that has been opened here because he was such a single personality in this aspect of conservative politics.

Joey Shifer: Absolutely So creating a new branch of the right -wing media is definitely the main part of the inheritance of Kork. He also inherited politics like his speeches on the rights of trans people, immigrants, abortions. These things are really stuck to me. Talk to me about that, the impression that he can leave.

Jack Lahut: Yes, I think there are some contrasts of this impression that we are seeing after this horror. Of course there is almost a saintly way that he is being drawn after his death, and I think he was an organizer and not a candidate, so he never did the kind of verification or could not really like the policy. He was always more in the field of attention, the field of funds, the field of funding and the voter voting region. So I think at the moment he is remembered for his true promise to the freedom of most controversy and actually want to feel uncomfortable with people who never talk to each other or disagree about politics. But then you have the things he said about gun control, for example, to protect the second amendment, it is suitable for the death of a gun to be effective in paraphrase. He was once asked that one of his daughters who was 10 years old at that time, if he was sexually abused and pregnant, did she want her to carry the pregnancy? And he originally said yes, there should be a child there. The other region that I think is the biggest impact he has made the fastest adding is his views for college and young age, different than what we usually heard from young people involved in politics. He paid a positive vision for young people to go to college. Now, that outlook was effectively for women, as you only should go to college to find a husband and it is quite a bit. But he was giving this opinion, “Hey, actually you have been told in America that your career and hurry are most important. I’m actually here to tell you that there is only one family and baby.” And we saw voting that was recently published from NBC News where General Z Men identified their children as their number one priority and did not do any other population. Where General Z Women have listed a litani of other issues before having stable career, mental well -being, all these things. So this is a thread of his inheritance that I think it’s like keeping it track, because he really was the sensation of this one person in college campuses. And I don’t think anyone is going to replace this role right now, but if we want to understand how he has changed out of view of a series given by our politics, I will keep an eye on it, there are many young people who really appreciate this guy, you do not know much about them, but it may end well, and it may end well.
