Simone Biles withdrew from the team
finals during the Tokyo Olympics
and cited that she needed to focus
on her mental health instead
of forcing herself to compete when
she didn't feel that
it was the right thing to do.
Now, unfortunately,
Charlie Kirk got involved and
shared his thoughts and commentary
on her personal decision.
He decided to call her a sociopath.
Let's hear his reasoning for that.
>> Simone Biles says,
this Olympic Games, I wanted it to
be for myself when I came in, and I
felt like I was still doing it for
other people, as she cried after
the team event on Tuesday.
So it hurts my heart because doing
what I love has been kind of taken
away from me to please
other people.
Yeah, that's the point,
Simone Biles.
You're representing the nation,
you selfish sociopath.
You kidding me?
She's an incredible athlete.
Of course, she's
an incredible athlete.
I just said she's probably
the greatest gymnast of all time.
She's also very selfish,
she's immature,
and she is a shame to the country.
She's totally a sociopath.
Of course she's a sociopath.
>> Okay.
>> Did he just call Simone Biles
immature when, isn't he the dude
that was wearing the diaper?
>> I don't know.
It's entirely possible.
I think of the, I think it's
the gun girl wore the diaper.
>> Look, no judgement for
anybody who needs to wear a diaper.
>> But he probably wore
a diaper, too.
>> But also, we're talking
about right wingers who decide,
we thought it would be a genius
idea to implement that as part of
their protests, which, anyway.
>> I don't even know,
I don't rule anything out, but
that was just, guy is terrible.
Every once in a while,
something from his show will pop up
every six months or so.
And I'll be like, yeah,
he does a show.
He doesn't just do these meetings.
Someone presumably tunes into that.
They look forward to it.
This mediocre guy who's done
nothing talking to one of the most
elite accomplished athletes
in the history of the planet
as if she was a puppy.
You're also incredibly selfish
sociopath.
What I said on The Damage Report
was, okay, so he,
I won't get into it,
he looks like he looks, but anyway,
he can't even deliver in terms of
voice in terms of, his whole thing
is I want to be right wing media.
I'm going to find things that I
don't actually care about and
I'm going to convince you that I'm
really worked up about it and I
hate the same people that you hate.
And sometimes you have to dig into
a person to find out what you hate
about them.
For him and for other right wingers
with Simone Biles,
they had to do a ton of research.
They had to look at a picture of
her and then realize, this is
someone I'm going to love to hate.
And so he has to try to sell that
you shouldn't like her, but
he can't even do it.
He sounded half asleep, as he's
declaring a 24-year-old athlete,
a sociopath.
How can you be so
boring when you're being so,
on paper, at least bombastic?
That's a weird combination.
>> He's just an untalented,
awful person.
And he- >> Write to us, please,
if you know a person that's
genuinely a fan of him.
I understand he's going to have
an organization forever whatever.
He's always going to have a job
because there's always going to
be a millionaire that's going to
pump money into it whether it
makes any money or not.
Because he gets young people
to be okay with tax breaks for
millionaires.
>> He lives like a capitalist
single day, Cenk.
>> Exactly, that's not how most
capitalists live.
He lives like an artist in 1300s
France that has a royal patron,
a rich person who's taken a shine
to you, throws coins at you.
That's not capitalism.
I believe that's feudalism,
actually.
But anyway,
I'm sure you want to focus on
the Simone Biles part of this, so
I don't want to- >> I do, I do.
Before I focus on Simone Biles and
how incredible she is as a person,
as an athlete, as a woman who has
persevered in ways that would
absolutely crush the likes of
Charlie Kirk, I do want to focus
on the word sociopath.
I don't know if Charlie Kirk is
informed on what sociopath means,
because if he were informed,
I would venture to say that it
would force him to take a little
bit of accountability for the true
sociopath he happens to be.
Charlie Kirk is the guy who till
this day continues to spread
disinformation about coronavirus.
In fact, he spreads disinformation
about the coronavirus vaccine.
He said just recently that as many
as 1.2 million people worldwide
have died from the vaccine.
What? I mean, we debunked that,
it was complete nonsense.
He was basing it off of an open
source database called VAERS,
which doesn't confirm anything.
Anyone can post on it and
claim that a person died.
There doesn't have to be
any proof of causation from
the vaccine to the death.
It's just absolute nonsense.
And the reason why I call him
a sociopath for spreading that
disinformation, I think wittingly
spreading that disinformation,
is because his close friend and
co-founder of Turning Point USA
died of coronavirus.
But he doesn't care.
He doesn't care.
There's a financial interest
for him.
He has a vested interest in
spreading this disinformation.
He knows that people are dying
as a result.
I would even venture to say that
he's probably already fully
vaccinated.
He's not going to disclose that
with anyone.
He's not going to tell
people the truth.
A true sociopath lies to people
knowing that those lies
are going to cost lives.
And that's what Charlie Kirk and
other conservatives do on a daily
basis, and it's disgusting.
He's a sociopath.
To turn around and
call Simone Biles, who was sexually
assaulted by Larry Nassar and still
competed- >> And still excelled.
>> And still excelled, to call her
sociopath, is the most ridiculous
and disgusting thing that you could
possibly say about her.
And then this whole thing about,
you're representing America,
you're representing America.
You know what? The US
government represents America.
And the US government embarrasses
America on a regular basis.
I'd be a little more concerned
about that, as opposed to, are the
athletes representing us correctly?
Are they winning?
Because if they're not winning,
they're not representing America.
Buzz off, really.
I mean, if your love for America,
if your pride in America hinges on
how Olympic athletes perform at
the Olympics, maybe you don't
really love America, bro.
Maybe you don't
really love America.
And if you do genuinely
love America, maybe take a good
hard look at the government.
Not just under Biden, but also, and
especially under Donald Trump, who
was an international embarrassment,
so much so that Ivanka Trump was
laughed at by world leaders.
I don't remember if it was the G7
summit, I don't remember which
event it was,
but- >> He was, too, yeah.
>> And of course he was,
he's an embarrassment.
>> Look, you bring up Trump, so
of course, Charlie Kirk is watching
him day after day.
And Trump sets such a high bar for
physical excellence and
everything that, yeah, even Olympic
level athletes are going to come up
kind of short after that, clearly.
But yeah, I don't know to what
extent he or any of these people
actually care about, Charlie Kirk,
name five gyms, please,
if you actually care about this.
I don't think that you do.
I don't know if they care about any
of these sports.
I guess they have to be mad at
what's trending or something.
You may think it's weird to be
really into the Olympics.
I think it's really weird
to pretend to be not into it.
That's seems really weird.
And yeah, so look, the thing that's
supposed to underlie his outrage
is that you're supposed to be
representing America,
it's important that you do well.
Have any right wingers had
anything, I'm not even going to say
positive to say about the Olympics
for the past two weeks,
I'm going to say neutral.
Have they had anything to say that
wasn't attacking our athletes?
>> They're too woke.
>> Yeah, they're all too woke.
It's great that they lose.
It's all too woke.
>> We like free speech.
We love free speech.
Also, athletes are too woke.
>> Cancel them.
>> Yeah. >> Exactly, and
by the way, I know that they
want this to be about her being
selfish or whatever.
The thing is about her selfish move
is that it then has a different
person stand in for her.
And I'm going to do is for
you, all of their scores go
into the team final score.
So if she believed that she wasn't
going to do well, stepping out and
allowing Jordan Chiles come in,
who is an incredibly accomplished
gymnast in her own right, would be
better for the team actually.
The opposite of sociopathy, wanting
someone who might score better
on average to step in, and that was
almost certainly the result.
It's all hypothetical.
We don't know exactly what
Simone Biles would have done.
But based off of the first of all,
and based off of her qualifying
performance a few days earlier,
it's likely that Jordan Chiles did
on average score better.
Simone Biles might be leader enough
to know that that's going to
happen, and does the unselfish
thing of doing what's better for
the team by stepping out, even
though it will lead to an immense
amount of criticism of her.
And allowing Jordan Chiles to step
in, in the same way that she is
allowing Jade Carey to step in on
the individual all-around in
place of her.
>> Real quick, let's just do
a comparative analysis,
because Simone Biles, despite her
injuries in the past, despite what
happened with Larry Nassar, I mean,
just horrendous sexual assault,
not just of Simone Biles, but
of several other female Olympians,
she still excelled.
And I mean,
you look at her accomplishments
that it blows your mind.
And this isn't even the entirety of
her accomplishments.
I'll just give you a little taste.
So at the 2016 Summer Olympics in
Rio de Janeiro,
Biles won individual gold medals in
all-around, vault and floor,
bronze in balance beam, and
gold as part of the United States
team dubbed the Final Five.
Biles is also a five-time world
all-around champion, 2013 through
2015, and then 2018 through 2019,
five-time world floor exercise
champion, three-time world
balance beam champion,
two-time world vault champion,
a seven-time United States national
all-around champion.
And a member of the gold
medal-winning American teams at the
2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019 World
Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
Biles is also the gymnast with
the most world medals and
the most world gold medals.
So that's- >> Yeah, but Charlie
Kirk doesn't approve of her.
So what was it all for?
>> Well, I mean, look,
Charlie Kirk, I mean,
he's succeeded in his own right.
So let's talk about that
a little bit.
Charlie Kirk, he applied to the
United States Military Academy in
West Point, and he didn't get in.
And then he went on a national tour
complaining about how he didn't get
in because of affirmative action.
>> Which is insane.
>> Yeah, yeah, clown.
>> It is insane, I'm simply saying.
>> Absolute clown.
In 2015, Kirk told the Atlantic
that he was taking part time online
classes at the King's College, and
he was taking classes at
Harper College,
a community college near Chicago.
But in 2015, he dropped out to
pursue conservative activism, i.e.,
taking a giant amount of money
from right wing funders to
form Turning Point USA.
So that's what he got involved in.
So he's a college dropout.
Not that there's any
judgment toward college dropouts.
But if he's going to sit there and
refer to a woman like Simone Biles
as a sociopath because she made
a personal decision to step away
for a minute and focus on her
physical and mental health.
I just think, look,
don't throw stones,
especially when you're throwing
those stones at a champion, and
you happen to live in this glass
house of failure all around.
>> Yeah. >> Period.
>> In his defense, the glass is
filled up with billionaire money,
that's true.
Look, he could have, what you said,
exactly, anybody who drops out,
there's absolutely nothing wrong
with that.
There are a ton of amazingly
understanding reasons that people
might either choose to or
be forced to because our system
absolutely sucks.
He could have chosen to
differentiate himself,
to be an individual.
To say, look, I look out there and
I see that all the other right
wingers that are cookie cutter
versions of myself are attacking
her because they think that that's
what they're supposed to do.
But I was in a position actually
where I was in college, and
I chose to step out, to leave.
I could have done it.
I chose to do something better
because I thought that was better
for me, something else.
He could have done that, but no,
instead, he has to pretend to
be worked up about this.
Because he is terrified that if he
doesn't, all of the other
conservative grifters will get
the attention from the hate-filled
people that watch them, and
he will be less exciting for
a couple of days.
That's why they have to play this
game constantly, every single day,
looking for things that they're
supposed to be angry about.
>> Listen, if Charlie Kirk is
concerned about being unexciting,
he's got a little bit of a problem.
>> Little bit,
bit of coffee before the show or
something, come on.
I don't really care if you're
boring the conservatives, but
I sometimes have to watch a bit
of this, man.
It's real boring, god.
>> I really don't think lack
of stimulants is his problem.
