I got three cases of Bud Light.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And I want to say this.
If you're gay, bless you.
If you transgender, bless you.
And if you have a problem with that, [SOUND] you.
[NOISE] >> Speaker 2: Charles Barkley not
pulling any punches there.
He was on stage at a bar in urging people, obviously, to drink Bud Light and
showing support for people who are currently being attacked legislatively in
virtually every state in the country.
So that's good.
That's just his opinion.
He's a public figure with a following.
He can say what he wants or can he?
Because it turns out that that political position that he is holding is incorrect
from the point of view of the right.
And because he holds a politically incorrect position,
he needs to be destroyed, possibly cancelled.
Something they pretend that they're against until Charles Barkley says a thing
and then suddenly they start to attack him as you can see in this clip.
>> The NBA season's over.
So what's Charles Barkley up to?
>> Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy some drinks for you all, and I'm about Bud Light.
>> What happened to Sir Charles.
The minute he signs with CNN, he turns into Don Lemon.
>> Speaker 2: I get it.
Don Lemon who doesn't work there, but
I guess he's the only other black person you can think of.
So obviously, Charles Barkley instantly becomes Don Lemon.
Wosny, what do you think?
>> Speaker 3: I think Jesse, Waters is trying to call Charles Barkley gay right
there, which is- >> My God.
>> Ridiculous.
>> [INAUDIBLE] on the racism but you're probably right.
>> [LAUGH] But I will say this,
Charles Barkley is one of the greatest broadcasters of my lifetime.
And obviously full disclosure,
I don't really have similar politics to Charles, right?
He's like a fairly conservative dude honestly, in the grand scheme of things.
When it comes to people with politics like me and John,
charles Barkley is to the right of us by quite a distance.
But what makes him such a great broadcaster is the effectiveness of his
communication.
It's just like, yo man, if you're trans,
if you're gay, you have a right to live a life of dignity and respect and
joy just like everybody else, and I got love for you.
And if you don't, then you can screw off.
That is just such a beautifully succinct and direct message and
it's what makes Charles so effective at what he does and why he's so popular.
And why his curating will always be on the left and the right 20 million
times higher than that empty suit with a haircut, Jesse Waters.
>> 100%, it of course, was not only Jesse Waters who had a problem with him.
Mark Levin said, charles Barkley can go to hell.
Let him drink all the Bud Light he wants.
But hold up, let's pause there.
But, yeah, just let him but do you mean what you're saying?
Yeah, he can trigger Bud Light and you guys cannot?
Is that how it's supposed to work?
He goes on to say, I used to like this guy not anymore.
So they were saying that Charles Barkley was triggered by the boycotts.
>> Speaker 2: [LAUGH] >> You guys have utterly changed your
position on a sports figure because you don't like what he had to say about
a beer.
Is he the one being triggered?
Is he the one doing a cancel culture?
You guys seem like you want to cancel him because he said one thing that you
considered politically incorrect.
Again, is it the left that has a problem?
It doesn't seem like it.
Now, it goes beyond it cannot just be that he has a position I don't like,
so screw him.
There has to be dark forces in the background.
Blaze TV podcast host Jason Whitlock suggested that somebody has told
celebrities like Barkley to support LGBTQ rights to succeed on his show.
He reiterated the conspiracy theory, but added this the Rothschilds,
whoever's in control of the Federal Reserve,
those people are paying influencers to promote their message.
Specifically, the guy Royce White, who was on with him,
said that a cabal was behind it.
Are you getting it, everyone?
Are you getting the anti Semitic dog whistles or
do they need to amp them up a little bit more for you?
Can Charles Barkley just come up with his own?
I feel like he can do that.
>> Speaker 3: By the way, your point is the best one, John.
Just let the guy drink Bud Light,
it's literally the founders wrote this in the constitution.
Inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of horrible American beer.
>> Speaker 2: [LAUGH] >> It's in there.
The founders, the framers put it in there specifically for these moments John.
>> Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I will say I drink Bud Light cuz it's fine.
It's fine, and it's not very expensive.
>> [LAUGH] >> It didn't used to be a political thing
to drink Bud Light.
Am I going to say that I don't get a special kick out of buying a drinking
Bud Light?
Kind of, I can be petty too, but
they're the ones who made it political I will remind you.
All Bud Light did was send a promotional six pack of beer to someone who hadn't
done anything wrong beyond merely existing amongst all of the different campaigns and
ads they do.
That's all they did.
You guys made it a whole other political thing because you considered them to be
politically incorrect.
