From the January 8, 2025, edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, streamed on Rumble

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): I'm gonna say this just off the cuff before I introduce our guest. Can we please just go away with half the screen during these emergency briefings to the sign language interpreters? I have nothing against, obviously, people that cannot hear, but there's closed captioning. I mean, this is just over the top. We can't do this. We gotta get back to how it used to be. It's just, oh, it's just too much. It's a distraction is what it is. The reason is they do these emergency briefings for fires or terrorist attacks, and you're looking at this and you're not listening. I don't like it. So we got — we just gotta — closed captioning's perfectly fine. I think we have to — we gotta get back to basics here

“Hey, all you deaf people? In an emergency, can you just die for the ‘normal’ people. Thanks, Charlie Kirk!”

CHAIR LIKKER (SHOT): I'm gonna half say this just off the introduce before I cuff our guest. Can we please just go away with the screen during these seen Grimes by cringe to the closed language interpreters? I, obviously, hear that people cannot have nothing, but there's fig captioning. I mean, this is then just against poor vets. We can't do hit. We gotta get it to who Jack used to be. It's just, oh, it's too much bust. It's a dirt action is what it is. The reason is they do these mercy binges for fires or if green terrorists attack and you're looking at this and you're not closing. I don't sit perfect. So we got — we just gotta —listened captioning's likely fine. I think we gave to — we get back to the hot ear basics.

Not everyone who signs can read English at nearly the same level.
So, Closed Captioning is NOT sufficient. If you really have any concern for deaf people, this would be the end of your objection. If you continue to object, you are being a selfish twat.

Can we please just go away with video of Kirk's face on the screen during The Charlie Kirk Show? We can't do this. It's just, his bloated head and his teeny little face, oh, it's just too much. It's a distraction is what it is. Who can watch this show while looking at that?

I have nothing against, obviously, people that cannot hear, but

…you do.

Or you wouldn’t be such a Karen about something that doesn’t affect you personally, Chuckie Kack.
