Charlie Kirk Takes the Political Compass Test: Exposing the Leftist Bias in Modern Political Quizzes

[00:00] [Music]

[00:06] Hi everyone and welcome to another

[00:08] episode of the Esther Craco Show. Today

[00:10] I have the godfather, the man himself,

[00:14] the genius behind Turning Point USA and

[00:17] the guy who brought us Turning Point UK.

[00:18] So you all blessed with my lovely face,

[00:20] Charlie Kirk. Thank you so much for

[00:22] joining us.

[00:23] >> Honored to be here. We're gonna have

[00:25] some fun.

[00:25] >> Oh yeah, we definitely are. Today we're

[00:27] doing a political compass test with

[00:30] Charlie and I'm just going to ask him

[00:31] some questions to see where he lies on

[00:33] the political spectrum. If he's a secret

[00:35] leftist, we're going to investigate that

[00:37] today. So, are you ready, Charlie?

[00:40] >> Let's do it.

[00:41] >> All right. So, these questions you can

[00:42] answer um strongly disagree, disagree,

[00:44] agree, strongly agree. So, those are the

[00:46] only four options that you have. All

[00:47] right.

[00:48] >> All right.

[00:49] >> Perfect. Okay. So, first question. Wow.

[00:52] Economic globalization is inevitable.

[00:56] Interesting premise. It should primarily

[00:58] serve humanity rather than the interest

[01:00] of transnational corporations.

[01:03] >> Well, well, first of all, this this

[01:04] question is ob obviously written by a

[01:06] leftist where it's somehow that humanity

[01:10] is at odds with transnational

[01:11] corporations. Yes. So, I already take I

[01:14] take total exception with the question.

[01:16] Um because the way it's written is that

[01:18] there's a contradiction between the two.

[01:20] Um, so and then I also I don't even want

[01:24] to talk about whether or not economic

[01:25] globalization is inevitable because I

[01:27] don't think it's inevitable and I don't

[01:28] want to deal with hypotheticals. That's

[01:29] the first thing they'll teach you in law

[01:31] school. Um, so if there was like a

[01:33] middle that I could say neutral, but if

[01:36] economic globalization is inevitable,

[01:38] uh, should it primarily serve humanity

[01:40] rather than interests? I guess. So I

[01:42] guess I would mildly say agree if you

[01:44] had put a gun to my head. But again, I

[01:47] >> I think the question is kind of

[01:48] nonsense. Yeah, it's quite an

[01:51] interesting wording that one. Okay.

[01:53] Right. Second question. I'd always

[01:55] support my country whether it was right

[01:57] or wrong.

[01:58] >> Well, I think there's a difference

[01:59] between supporting your country and

[02:01] supporting your government.

[02:03] >> So, there's a huge difference there. Um,

[02:06] I would ne I would not support my

[02:07] government whether it was right or

[02:08] wrong. I don't know anyone who would

[02:10] support anything whether it was right or

[02:11] wrong. I mean, that's the whole

[02:12] definition of morals, right? That you

[02:14] have objective standards and that's what

[02:17] you base it upon. I love America and I

[02:19] love the United Kingdom because you have

[02:21] a moral government that protects

[02:22] individual initiative and individual

[02:24] liberty. Again, I don't love the

[02:26] question. It's this is this is obviously

[02:28] written by a leftist. A lot of these

[02:30] questions are to try to get people to

[02:32] like, oh no, I would never support my

[02:34] country whether it's right or wrong.

[02:35] Hold on. Difference between country and

[02:36] government. The country is the ethos,

[02:39] the philosophy, the people, the history,

[02:40] and the heritage. The government can be

[02:42] a collection of elites. So, I would

[02:44] always support my country whether it's

[02:45] right or wrong. I'd say slightly

[02:47] disagree, but I think I nuanced and

[02:49] prefaced it well enough.

[02:51] >> Okay. So, I'll put it agree, but like

[02:52] just just just because. Just because.

[02:55] >> Yeah. Okay. Well, we're we're right.

[02:57] We're not on the strong extremes there,

[02:59] though. Okay.

[03:00] >> All right. No one chooses his or her

[03:02] country of birth. So, it's foolish to be

[03:04] proud of it.

[03:05] >> Okay. Now, I can say strongly disagree,

[03:07] right? Um, again, I could just imagine

[03:09] why the leftists want to put that

[03:11] because people virtual signaling. Oh,

[03:12] yeah. Why? Again, these questions are

[03:15] not questions. These are like statements

[03:17] to try. It's leading the questioner. No

[03:19] one chooses his or her contur birth

[03:22] there. So, it's foolish to be proud of

[03:23] it. Well, that's such nonsense. There's

[03:25] a lot of things you don't

[03:27] >> No one chooses which family they belong

[03:29] to, but that doesn't mean you

[03:30] >> Well, yeah, there's a lot of things you

[03:31] don't choose, right? You don't choose

[03:32] who your parents are. You don't choose

[03:34] what zip code you're in. You know,

[03:35] there's a lot of things you don't

[03:36] choose. Um, so I think it's total

[03:38] nonsense. By the way, you should be

[03:40] proud of where you're from, especially

[03:42] if where you're from is an exceptional,

[03:43] generous, benevolent country like the

[03:46] United States, United Kingdom. So, I

[03:47] strongly disagree with that.

[03:49] >> Yeah. Okay. So, um our race has many

[03:53] superior qualities compared with other

[03:55] races.

[03:56] >> Strongly disagree. That's insane. This

[03:59] again is written, this is the leftist

[04:00] political compass quiz. Strongly

[04:02] disagree.

[04:03] >> Yeah. Okay. The enemy of my enemy is my

[04:06] friend. I feel like

[04:07] >> that's a silly question too because it

[04:08] all depends on the circumstance and so

[04:12] uh for example if Iran if Iran for

[04:15] example was enemies with China which

[04:17] they're not that doesn't make them my

[04:19] friend or if Iran was enemies of Russia

[04:21] so I strongly disagree with that anyone

[04:23] who just believes that on its surface is

[04:25] uh not not thinking very analytically.

[04:28] >> Okay. um military action that defies

[04:31] international law is sometimes justified

[04:34] >> of course because international

[04:35] international law might be wrong. So

[04:37] just because it's international law

[04:39] doesn't mean it's correct or it's moral.

[04:40] So absolut I strongly agree that any

[04:43] action that might defy anything it

[04:45] depends what that law is. So if the

[04:47] international law says that the United

[04:49] States can't defend its borders of

[04:50] course that's wrong. And guess what? I

[04:52] could see some silly international

[04:54] council saying that. So, I strongly

[04:56] agree that military action that defies

[04:58] international law is sometimes

[04:59] justified.

[05:01] >> Awesome. All right. There is now a

[05:02] worrying fusion of information and

[05:04] entertainment.

[05:06] >> Strongly agree. I don't think we need to

[05:07] go too far into that one. So, I strongly

[05:09] agree.

[05:09] >> That's a that's a no-brainer there, i.e.

[05:13] Hollywood. Um, people are ultimately

[05:16] divided more by class than by

[05:17] nationality.

[05:20] >> More by class than nationality. Uh,

[05:25] I I just I don't like looking at things

[05:27] in terms of classes. I mean, that's a

[05:28] very Marxist view, very left-wing view.

[05:31] Um I I guess I'd strongly not strong, I

[05:35] guess I would slightly disagree with

[05:36] that. Um but no,

[05:39] >> economic I don't know because it depends

[05:41] on where you're from. Like here in the

[05:43] UK, the main I suppose divisions that we

[05:45] have in society are more class-based

[05:47] where in the US is a completely

[05:48] different story, but it's still

[05:50] primarily class-based anyway. Well,

[05:52] that's that's I guess I mean um

[05:55] >> I I suppose look what I would say is

[05:58] this is that you know in the states um

[06:01] if we view that no matter what class

[06:04] you're in in America you're blessed

[06:06] right that you're lucky that to be an

[06:08] American so I don't know which way that

[06:10] would put it on this particular question

[06:12] but I just I don't I don't inherently

[06:14] like people you know dividing people by

[06:16] class. So

[06:17] >> yeah. All right. Next question.

[06:19] Controlling inflation is more important

[06:21] than controlling unemployment.

[06:23] [Music]

[06:25] >> That's that's a that's the bigotry of

[06:27] binary ex of binary choices. They're

[06:29] both they're both important. Uh one more

[06:31] important than the other.

[06:33] >> Yeah.

[06:33] >> So I would I would say disagree, but I'm

[06:35] also an inflation hawk. So that's going

[06:37] to kind of screw up my my question here

[06:40] >> because it could be the same thing in

[06:41] the US, the whole, you know, communist

[06:43] state. You could have full employment,

[06:44] which you would and they're a communist

[06:45] state, but your inflation could be

[06:47] through the roof. So

[06:48] >> yeah. So I guess I would say I disagree

[06:50] with that.

[06:50] >> Yeah.

[06:51] >> So or maybe again it's right near it's

[06:53] in the middle. I I wish they had just

[06:55] kind of like a push option. So

[06:58] >> not identify right because corporations

[07:00] cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect

[07:02] the environment. They require

[07:04] regulation.

[07:05] >> Who what kind of crazy question is this?

[07:07] The question the question is implying

[07:10] something that's categorically false. Of

[07:12] course they can be trusted to

[07:13] voluntarily protect private property. I

[07:15] strongly disagree with it. This is

[07:17] written by a Marxist. This is the

[07:18] Marxist political compass test. I want

[07:21] to find the author of this. This is

[07:22] trying to make people leftwing. You

[07:24] can't lead the questioner. It should say

[07:26] this. Should corporations require

[07:29] regulation for environmental policy. Not

[07:32] putting your own value system into the

[07:34] question. It's nonsense.

[07:37] >> Okay. Next question. From each according

[07:39] to his ability to each according to his

[07:40] need is a fundamentally good idea.

[07:43] >> Strongly disagree. We're not Marxists.

[07:45] >> Yeah. No market.

[07:47] >> I don't know. I mean, if Jeremy Corbin

[07:48] was taking the test, then sure.

[07:50] >> I suppose. Yeah. The freer the market,

[07:52] the freer the people.

[07:54] >> Strongly agree.

[07:55] >> Yeah.

[07:57] >> All right. It's a sad reflection on our

[07:59] society that something as basic as

[08:00] drinking water is now bottled branded

[08:02] consumer is now a bottled branded

[08:04] consumer product.

[08:06] >> Strongly disagree.

[08:07] >> Yeah, I like bottled water. Actually, I

[08:09] don't know what they have. How am I

[08:10] supposed to go to the tap and like do

[08:12] this all the time? We have more people

[08:14] that have more access to water thanks to

[08:16] the free market. The profit incentive

[08:17] has made more people wealthy, more

[08:19] efficient than ever before. So again, if

[08:22] you believe in the leftist val the

[08:24] theory of labor, I guess that would be

[08:26] your your answer. Yes.

[08:27] >> Yeah. I think it's just placing a value

[08:29] judgment on what should be considered a

[08:31] commodity. But if it has value to

[08:33] someone that someone is willing to pay

[08:34] for, it's inherently a commodity. So

[08:38] unfortunately it must anyway land

[08:40] shouldn't be a commodities to be bought

[08:42] and sold.

[08:43] >> Strongly disagree. Everything has value

[08:45] and it should be treated as such. Every

[08:47] piece of property I should say.

[08:50] >> It is regressible that many personal

[08:52] fortunes are made by people who simply

[08:54] manipulate money and contribute nothing

[08:55] to their society.

[08:56] >> This is so biased. If you're watching

[08:58] this video, do you realize how biased

[09:00] this is? It's like it's this is this is

[09:03] like the reflections or the meditations

[09:05] of an angry leftist in a political

[09:07] compass. I strongly disagree. If you

[09:09] create value and are able to circulate

[09:11] money and you're able to make money off

[09:13] of it, you should be rewarded. That's

[09:14] that's what private property is all

[09:16] about.

[09:17] >> Okay, I'm going to strongly disagree for

[09:19] that one. Umism is necessary. It's

[09:22] sometimes necessary in trade.

[09:24] >> I do agree with this, especially when it

[09:25] comes to China. I don't strongly agree

[09:27] with it. I'll just say slightly agree.

[09:29] Certain industries in the United States

[09:31] should be preserved and protected

[09:32] against our adversaries and enemies.

[09:34] Absolutely.

[09:35] >> Okay. The only social responsibility of

[09:37] a company should be to deliver a profit

[09:39] to its shareholders.

[09:40] >> Okay. I don't know who would ever say

[09:42] they strongly agree with this. The only

[09:44] like as if it's the only thing. It's

[09:45] such a misleading question.

[09:46] >> So, I'll say slightly disagree because

[09:48] of course they have more of a social

[09:50] responsibility. They have to pay their

[09:51] workers. They have to treat their

[09:52] workers well. But they wouldn't be able

[09:54] to make a profit if they didn't do that.

[09:55] So, it's a very very misleading

[09:57] question. But I'll just say disagree on

[09:58] face value.

[10:00] >> Okay. The rich are too highly taxed.

[10:03] >> Strongly agree. They are everyone is way

[10:06] too highly taxed. From the lowest worker

[10:07] to the highest worker to the highest

[10:09] earner, taxes are way too damn high.

[10:11] Strongly agree.

[10:13] >> Okay. Those with the ability to pay

[10:15] should have access to higher standards

[10:16] of medical care.

[10:17] >> Absolutely. Strongly agree. 100%.

[10:20] Absolutely.

[10:21] >> Okay.

[10:21] >> If you work hard or have a great idea,

[10:23] you should have you should have better

[10:24] access to whatever it is that you've

[10:25] earned. Absolutely.

[10:27] Okay. Government should penalize

[10:29] businesses that mislead the public.

[10:31] >> I agree with that. Yes.

[10:33] >> Do you think that

[10:34] >> strongly agree? Agree.

[10:37] >> Huh?

[10:37] >> Do you think that applies to the media?

[10:39] Government should penalize businesses

[10:41] that mislead the public?

[10:43] >> Say that again. I'm Can you say it

[10:44] again? Sorry.

[10:45] >> That applies to the media. So newspaper

[10:47] is

[10:48] >> Oh, yeah. Absolutely. If the media

[10:49] intentionally misleads the public, they

[10:51] should absolutely be penalized. 100%.

[10:54] Yes.

[10:54] >> Okay. A genuine free market requires

[10:57] restrictions on the ability of predator

[10:59] multinationals to create monopolies.

[11:02] >> Yeah, I I could be a I could be in the

[11:04] middle. I could be push. Again, this is

[11:05] written uh very misleadingly to try to

[11:07] convince people that they're leftists

[11:09] when they're really not. That's why they

[11:10] wrote these questions the way they did.

[11:12] But again, I I I do I I am not a someone

[11:15] who's totally lazare when it comes to

[11:17] monopolies. So, I I'll say slightly

[11:19] agree with that.

[11:20] >> Slightly agree. All right. And

[11:25] question. Okay. Abortion when the

[11:27] woman's life is not threat and should

[11:28] always be illegal.

[11:30] >> Strongly agree. Every life is worth

[11:32] protecting. And if there weren't two

[11:34] sets of DNA, then how on earth could

[11:36] there not be two human beings there? Two

[11:38] sets of DNA, it's not your body. If it's

[11:40] not your DNA, it's not your choice.

[11:42] >> Oh, that's a good one. That's a nice

[11:43] spin on it. Not your DNA, not your

[11:45] choice.

[11:46] >> Um, all authority should be questioned.

[11:49] >> Strongly agree. Yes.

[11:51] >> Okay.

[11:52] An eye for an eye and a tooth for a

[11:54] tooth.

[11:55] >> I will say disagree. I It's a trap

[11:58] question, but biblically and

[11:59] theologically, I do not agree with that.

[12:01] So, I will say a disagree.

[12:03] >> Okay. Taxpayers should not be expected

[12:05] to prop up any theaters or museums that

[12:08] can't survive on a commercial basis.

[12:10] >> Strongly

[12:12] agree that they should not be expected

[12:15] essentially let them go under if they

[12:17] can't support themselves. So, strongly

[12:18] agree.

[12:19] >> Okay. Schools should not make classroom

[12:21] attendance compulsory. Oh, that's an

[12:23] interesting one.

[12:24] >> Disagree. No. School should some form of

[12:27] school homeschooling or something should

[12:29] be compulsory. Yes.

[12:31] >> Okay. All people have their rights, but

[12:33] it's better for all of us that different

[12:35] sorts of people should keep to their own

[12:37] kind.

[12:38] >> What What kind of stupid question is

[12:40] that?

[12:40] >> Kind. Are we like chickens?

[12:45] >> Strongly disagree. That's the silliest

[12:46] thing I've ever heard.

[12:48] Um, good parents sometimes have to spike

[12:51] their children.

[12:53] >> Agree. Thei the science shows that it

[12:55] works. Agree.

[12:56] >> I've actually got into a degree of

[12:57] mothers on Twitter. It's pretty funny.

[12:59] >> No, it works. Agree.

[13:01] >> It's natural for children to keep some

[13:03] secrets from their parents.

[13:04] >> Yeah, of course. Agree. What kind of

[13:06] this is is it parent psychology? Yeah,

[13:07] of course.

[13:08] >> Okay. Possessing marijuana for personal

[13:10] use should not be a criminal offense.

[13:13] >> Again, I I have this whole thing. I'm

[13:15] not pro weed or pro marijuana. I think

[13:17] it's cra I think it's actually

[13:18] destroying a lot of young people. Um, do

[13:20] I think it should be a criminal offense?

[13:22] Again, this is a double negative. So,

[13:24] possessing marijuana for personal use

[13:26] should not be a criminal offense. Again,

[13:28] if I had a push option, I would do it.

[13:30] I'd probably slightly agree. I don't

[13:32] think people should be locked up

[13:33] forever, but I don't I do not believe in

[13:35] the legalization or the

[13:36] commercialization of marijuana. I think

[13:38] it does total destruction. By the way, I

[13:40] walk into these hotel rooms. I was I was

[13:42] in one a couple months ago and I walk in

[13:44] I just get slapped in the face by this

[13:46] wave of weed of whatever loser was there

[13:48] before me and um why should I have to

[13:51] suffer because they wanted to relax. So

[13:53] that it's not it's not a victimless

[13:55] practice. So

[13:57] >> a prime function of schooling should be

[13:59] to equip the future generation to find

[14:01] jobs. Again, that's way too

[14:03] oversimplified. But again, if for for

[14:06] college, yes, I would agree. It should

[14:08] not be about intellectual or

[14:09] philosophical exploration, but for grade

[14:12] school or for middle school, it should

[14:13] be about creating good people. So, I'm

[14:15] guessing they're talking about schooling

[14:17] in the I I'll I'll say slightly

[14:19] disagree. Again, it's it's so binary,

[14:22] it's hard to even engage in it.

[14:23] >> Yeah, I feel like they should give you

[14:24] more options. Okay. Um people with

[14:27] serious inheritable diseases,

[14:29] disabilities should not be allowed to

[14:31] reproduce.

[14:33] strongly disagree.

[14:35] What? Who would agree with that? Like

[14:37] mass sterilization. Like that's crazy.

[14:40] >> The most important thing for children to

[14:42] learn is to accept.

[14:44] >> No, that's not the most important thing,

[14:46] but it is an important thing. So the

[14:49] most important thing is how to act

[14:50] morally and ethically. That's the most

[14:52] important thing a young person can

[14:53] learn. So I disagree with that.

[14:56] >> Okay. Um there are

[15:00] there are no savage and civilized

[15:02] people. They're only different cultures.

[15:04] >> Strongly disagree. No, there are savaged

[15:06] cultures out there. Absolutely. Just go

[15:08] to the Middle East. They throw gay

[15:10] people off the top of buildings. Okay.

[15:12] There are abs this whole idea that we

[15:14] are multicultural and all cultures are

[15:16] created the same. The North Korean

[15:18] culture is evil. Okay. They do not have

[15:20] press freedom. They do not have

[15:21] individual freedom. They are they are an

[15:23] evil culture. So, same with the Chinese

[15:25] Communist Party and the Chinese culture.

[15:27] So, uh there are I I hate that word

[15:29] savage because they're just trying to

[15:31] bring back, you know, many centuries

[15:32] past language. But no, there there there

[15:36] are different cultures and there are

[15:38] cultures that Well, I guess what they're

[15:39] saying is peoples. I I I don't want to

[15:41] be misunderstood by this question

[15:42] though. Um what I'm talking about is how

[15:44] there are different cultures. What do

[15:45] you think? Do you think I'm misreading

[15:47] this or

[15:48] >> no civilized people? They're only

[15:50] different cultures. I think the word

[15:51] different cultures is misleading. I

[15:54] think is saying that some people just in

[15:57] a geographical location are inherently

[15:59] barbaric. I don't think that's the case.

[16:01] I think humans are just humans and we're

[16:03] we're conditioned by our values and

[16:05] culture and tradition. We're really

[16:06] different cultures. I agree. I agree

[16:09] with the question because people as we

[16:11] are are conditioned by our parents and

[16:13] by our values and by the cultures around

[16:15] us. I don't think

[16:16] >> I think I guess if that's the question

[16:18] then yes. But I I thought it I thought

[16:21] the question was that that there's no

[16:23] such thing as certain culture is better

[16:25] than the other, which I guess that's not

[16:26] the question.

[16:27] >> I think I think it might not be going

[16:28] down like the philosophical route of

[16:30] >> I don't know why they keep on going to

[16:31] this direction of race. I'm not I I

[16:34] don't get it. So I guess I then I say I

[16:36] agree if I misread the question then.

[16:38] >> Um those who are able to work and refuse

[16:40] the opportunity should not expect

[16:42] society support.

[16:44] >> Strongly agree. If you can work and

[16:46] refuse to work, you should not get a

[16:47] dime or a I don't know if you guys know

[16:50] what a dime is, or a nickel of federal

[16:52] support. Or how about 5% of a pound

[16:55] support. Okay, there you go.

[16:57] >> Okay. All right. When you are troubled,

[16:59] it is better to not think about it than

[17:01] to keep busy with more cheerful things.

[17:04] >> Disagree. You should confront your

[17:05] problems head on, and you should slay

[17:07] the dragon that is currently bothering

[17:09] you. You should not defer. You shouldn't

[17:11] act like it doesn't exist. That's what

[17:12] cowards do.

[17:13] >> Okay. first generation immigrants can

[17:16] never be fully integrated within their

[17:18] new country.

[17:19] >> Slightly disagree, but I will say that

[17:21] certain immigrants from certain parts of

[17:22] the country do have a very difficult

[17:24] time integrating with Western culture.

[17:26] So, I'll say slightly disagree, but uh I

[17:29] I can see where they're trying to go

[17:30] with the question. Again, it's a very

[17:31] left-wing kind of inclination.

[17:34] >> Yeah. What's good for the most

[17:35] successful corporations is not always

[17:37] ultimately good for all of us.

[17:39] >> What is with this obsession about

[17:40] corporation versus people? I mean

[17:43] there's a lot of overlap and there's a

[17:44] lot of humanity that involves companies

[17:46] that employ human beings. I will say

[17:48] disagree. I will not say strongly

[17:50] disagree, but I reject the question.

[17:53] >> No broadcasting institution, however

[17:55] independent its content should receive

[17:57] public funding.

[17:58] >> Strongly agree. Defund the BBC. Sorry if

[18:01] I offend anyone over there.

[18:02] >> Oh my gosh. Yes. I just had to pay.

[18:04] >> Strongly agree. Defund NPR and BBC. Make

[18:07] them get their own damn funding.

[18:09] >> Exactly. Just have to pay. All right.

[18:12] Next question. Our civil liberties are

[18:14] being excessively curbed in the name of

[18:15] counterterrorism.

[18:17] >> Uh I'd say I slightly agree with this.

[18:20] Yes, I I I am one to try to look out for

[18:23] the fourth amendment as we call it in

[18:25] the United States. So I'll say I

[18:26] slightly agree with that. I I am a

[18:28] privacy hawk and I think those can be

[18:29] abused by tech companies and by people

[18:32] in the national security agency in our

[18:34] country that wish to do malevolence and

[18:35] harm against our citizens.

[18:37] >> Okay. A significant advantage of a one

[18:40] party state is that it avoids all the

[18:42] arguments that delay progress in the

[18:43] democratic political system.

[18:46] >> Disagree. There's no advantage to a one

[18:48] party state.

[18:49] >> This is like the argument for Kim

[18:50] Jong-un. Like, oh, the good thing about

[18:52] Kim Jong-un is we don't have arguments

[18:54] because if you argue, you're dead. Like,

[18:56] okay, great. You got a bullet in your

[18:57] head.

[18:59] >> Okay. Although the electronic age makes

[19:01] official surveillance easier, only wrong

[19:03] viewers need to be worried.

[19:06] >> Strongly disagree with this. I

[19:07] completely and strongly disagree that

[19:09] power will be abused. Um if they can

[19:12] monitor anything, they will go after

[19:14] people that they dislike or disagree

[19:15] with.

[19:16] >> Um the death penalty should be an option

[19:18] for the most serious crimes.

[19:21] >> I actually strongly disagree with this.

[19:22] I'm against the death penalty. Uh it

[19:24] does not have a good track record. It's

[19:25] more expensive. We kill innocent people.

[19:27] Um and I I don't think that the

[19:29] government should have the right or the

[19:30] ability to take the lives away of its

[19:32] citizens. So I strongly disagree. I

[19:34] think this is one of those um arguments

[19:36] or this these topics that a lot of

[19:38] conservatives have kind of shifted their

[19:39] opinion on to actually you know against

[19:41] the death penalty. It's very interesting

[19:42] to notice that shift among conservatives

[19:45] um in a civil society one must always

[19:48] have people above to be obeyed and

[19:50] people below to be commanded.

[19:52] >> That's the weird I I I I

[19:55] don't know what kind of society they're

[19:57] talking about like ancient Babylon but

[19:59] disagree. I I don't I don't really

[20:01] understand that. Abstract art that

[20:04] doesn't represent anything shouldn't be

[20:06] considered art at all.

[20:08] >> I'm not going to totally offend all the

[20:09] people that like abstract art, but I'll

[20:11] just slightly offend them. So, I'll say

[20:12] I agree with that. Not strongly agree.

[20:14] How about that? So,

[20:17] >> in criminal justice, punishment should

[20:18] be more important than rehabilitation.

[20:20] >> I strongly agree with that. Yes,

[20:22] punishment can be rehabilitating for

[20:25] people. To act like punishment can't be

[20:27] rehab is nonsense. If you raped

[20:29] somebody, I don't care about rehabbing

[20:31] you. You're a sick person. you should be

[20:32] in jail the rest of your life. I'm not

[20:34] in the interest of trying to heal you.

[20:36] You've already destroyed someone else's

[20:37] life and you've committed a heinous

[20:39] crime that in my eyes is unforgivable on

[20:41] earth. So your best rehab is society

[20:44] punishing you.

[20:46] >> It is a waste of time to try and

[20:48] rehabilitate someone else.

[20:50] >> Strongly agree. Strongly agree.

[20:53] >> And money. Okay. The business person and

[20:56] the manufacturer are more important than

[20:58] the writer and the artist.

[21:00] Look, if they again I what kind of silly

[21:03] qu like oh they want me to do a value

[21:05] judgment. They both have equal

[21:06] contributions. If they're both

[21:07] voluntarily cooperating then everyone's

[21:10] important. I'm important to what?

[21:12] Important to the GDP are important to

[21:13] the value and the fabric of the country.

[21:16] That's what's so great about a free

[21:17] society is I don't I'm not centrally

[21:19] commanding them. Whatever leftist wrote

[21:21] this quiz is trying to impose that on

[21:24] us. So uh I'll say disagree. uh not

[21:27] strongly disagree but I generally I I

[21:29] think it's a silly question.

[21:31] >> Okay, next question. Um mothers may have

[21:34] careers but their first duty is to be

[21:36] homemakers.

[21:38] >> So I'm going to answer this question in

[21:39] a way that will be controversial, but I

[21:40] don't mean it the way that was asked. Do

[21:42] I believe that most women have a desire

[21:44] to be mothers and they should fulfill

[21:46] that? Yes.

[21:47] >> Do I like the question? No. So I know

[21:50] what they're trying to ask and I'm going

[21:51] to say slightly agree. But I believe

[21:53] most women have a biological

[21:55] predisposition to procreate and to

[21:57] nurture and to be mothers. And there's

[21:59] nothing wrong with that and it should be

[22:01] embraced and celebrated. So I kind of

[22:03] reject the question, but I'm going to

[22:05] say agree because I think that's what

[22:06] they're trying to ask.

[22:08] >> Yeah. International companies are

[22:10] unequally exploiting

[22:13] resources of developing countries.

[22:17] >> Disagree. I I I don't know. I mean, some

[22:19] companies,

[22:20] >> some are, some are doing it ethically

[22:22] and doing it properly and employing a

[22:24] lot of people. So, show me the company.

[22:25] Show me the example.

[22:26] >> So, I'll just say disagree because I

[22:28] don't like this general indictment

[22:29] against companies. That's what this

[22:30] whole quiz is about. Like, let's just

[22:32] put companies on trial. Silly.

[22:35] >> Yeah. Um, making peace with the

[22:37] establishment is an important aspect of

[22:39] maturity.

[22:41] >> Strongly disagree. who they

[22:43] >> again this is supposed they're supposed

[22:44] to be like kind of communicating to

[22:46] young leftists like no I'll never make

[22:48] peace with the establishment status quo

[22:50] even though the socialists and the

[22:51] Marxists are actually the status quo so

[22:53] anyway

[22:55] >> okay next question astrology accurately

[22:57] explains many things

[23:00] >> disagree I believe in the Bible that's

[23:02] my north star not the actual north star

[23:05] >> you cannot be moral without being

[23:07] religious

[23:10] >> this this is a very difficult question.

[23:12] It's an indictment against religion. Um,

[23:16] do I think a religious people can be

[23:18] moral? Absolutely. But where we get the

[23:20] idea of right and wrong from is

[23:21] originally from the Torah and then the

[23:23] Bible. Or else right, good and bad is

[23:25] just an opinion. If there is no God,

[23:27] then right and wrong is just us an up or

[23:29] down vote. Uh, if you believe that there

[23:32] was some sort of big bang that started

[23:34] space, time, and matter. Therefore,

[23:36] there must be something using the laws

[23:37] of logic that was spaceless, timeless,

[23:40] and matterless that started that big

[23:42] bang. And even the the most committed

[23:44] atheists agree that is the greatest

[23:46] argument for the existence of a god.

[23:48] Therefore, if there is a god, therefore,

[23:49] everything we know to be true, right and

[23:51] wrong, had to be created by somebody. It

[23:53] wasn't discovered. It wasn't stumbled

[23:54] upon. It wasn't fallen backwards within

[23:56] it. So, I will disagree with this even

[23:59] though I will say that we get our morals

[24:01] from a religious construct. Does that

[24:03] make sense? But I don't I do someone who

[24:05] has no religion at all. Of course they

[24:07] can act morally. But where do we get

[24:09] that definition of morals? That's

[24:10] actually the qu that's that's where I'm

[24:12] getting into my problem with the

[24:13] question.

[24:14] >> Yeah, definitely. I

[24:16] charity is better than social security

[24:19] as as a means of helping the generally

[24:21] disadvantaged.

[24:22] >> Uh yes, charity is uh by far the best

[24:27] way to voluntarily help people.

[24:28] Absolutely. social security uh which is

[24:31] a different meaning of this quiz of what

[24:33] it is in America but government

[24:34] assistance is not the best way uh to

[24:36] help people uh charity people helping

[24:38] people churches synagogues um you know

[24:41] individual philanthropy is by far better

[24:43] than that so I strongly agree it's

[24:44] better

[24:45] >> okay um some people are naturally

[24:48] unlucky

[24:49] >> strongly disagree you are the master of

[24:51] your own future act morally be smart

[24:54] don't do stupid stuff and you'll be just

[24:56] fine no some people are not naturally

[24:58] unlucky that's not an excuse. You know,

[25:00] some people say, "Yeah, I'm so unlucky.

[25:02] You know, every time I committed a

[25:03] crime, the police would always catch

[25:04] me." Well, maybe you shouldn't have

[25:05] committed a crime in the first place.

[25:07] Okay, so no, some people are not

[25:08] naturally unlucky. Make good choices and

[25:10] act morally.

[25:11] >> Okay. It is important that my child's

[25:14] school instills religious values.

[25:16] >> Strongly agree. Absolutely. Yes. My

[25:18] fictitious child or my future children.

[25:20] Absolutely.

[25:22] >> Okay. These are the last few questions.

[25:25] Uh sex outside marriage is usually

[25:27] immoral. I agree with that. Yes,

[25:29] according to the Bible, that is correct.

[25:32] >> Yeah. Um, pornography depicting

[25:34] consenting adults should be evil for the

[25:36] adult population.

[25:37] >> Disagree.

[25:38] >> Yeah.

[25:40] It's it's one of those things. It's just

[25:41] another what goes on in a private

[25:44] bedroom between consenting adults. It's

[25:45] not the business of the state.

[25:48] >> It's again, it's very difficult to say

[25:50] that because what what what goes on?

[25:53] Well, what what if they're cutting each

[25:54] other's arms off? Okay. Then it is the

[25:56] business of the state. Okay. What if

[25:58] they're torturing each other? All right,

[25:59] then it's the business of the state. So,

[26:01] I'll say disagree. It's a silly

[26:03] question. What they're trying to say is,

[26:04] well, two consenting adults. Okay.

[26:06] Again, that's that's not it's not the

[26:09] right way to word it. I know what

[26:11] they're trying to ask. Okay. It's silly.

[26:14] >> No one can feel naturally homosexual.

[26:17] That's a weird question.

[26:19] >> Disagree. I don't know what that even

[26:20] means.

[26:22] >> These days, openness about sex has gone

[26:24] too far.

[26:25] >> Strongly agree. because we're talking

[26:27] about nine questions about this stuff.

[26:29] >> Yeah.

[26:31] Okay. Right.

[26:33] >> Where are my results?

[26:35] >> Okay.

[26:36] >> Okay. Well, uh I guess I'm not very

[26:39] authoritarian. I'm not a leftist,

[26:40] everybody, but I do believe in freedom

[26:42] and liberty. But I just want to say I

[26:43] take strong objection with a lot of

[26:46] things in this uh uh in this

[26:49] >> test. I'm very pro-life. I'm very

[26:52] pro-traditional marriage. And that

[26:53] wasn't even a question that was asked.

[26:55] There was even a question like do you

[26:56] believe marriage is between one man and

[26:58] one woman which I believe in. Uh so yeah

[27:02] it was fun. Uh but why don't we do a

[27:04] more we should create our own political

[27:05] compass quiz that just asks basic

[27:07] questions. Do you think freedom is a

[27:09] right? Like that would be a nice where

[27:11] do rights come from? God or government?

[27:13] Like basic questions. But um anyway this

[27:16] was fun. Maybe people learned something

[27:17] and uh it's always good to be able to

[27:19] discuss these issues.

[27:20] >> Yeah definitely. Thank you so much for

[27:21] joining us Charlie. This was great.

[27:23] >> You bet. All right. God bless. Thank

[27:25] you.
