Zoe Schiffer: So where does it leave the traditional right-wing medium, such as Fox News, for example? Is that replacement or work in tandem?
Jake Lahut: I think it’s more in tandem. FOX programming dominated the Kirk’s assassination last night. I think it’s a lot of personality fox, people like Charlie Kirk, I assume that the universe is really important, actually, because I think it’s a more conservative media TV to build that audience and starts to throw themselves on the couch every night in the couch. And that is also something interesting, because Democrats are trying to work at the time and as we mentioned earlier, conventional wisdom kept that democrats always have this advantage of younger voters. So I think it is very interesting to see what the rotary dot will become after this; And then to what extent this door opened could only be downloaded with different types of profiles, different charisms, perhaps more extreme on some issues. So, there is a very legitimate, almost vacuum for power that opens here because it was such a unique figure in this aspect of conservative policy.
Zoe Schiffer: Absolutely. So creating a new branch of right-wing media directed towards the younger audience is definitely a key part of Kirk’s legacy. And there is a legacy that he went to freedom in politics, like his rhetoric towards trans, immigrants, his rhetoric about the rights of abortion. These things are really holding me. Talk to me about it, it’s an imprint that he may have left.
Jake Lahut: Yes, I think the impression has some contradictions we see after this terrible incident. It must be almost the sacred way in which it is painted after his death, and I think part of it was the organizer, not a candidate, so he never received a kind of supervision or had to be a hard choice in politics. He was always more in the realm of the economy of attention, the realm of fundraising and the area of voter turnout. So, I think the most remembered the most of their sincere commitment to freedom discussion and wanting that there is actually no uncomfortable interaction of people who otherwise cannot talk to each other or disagree with politics. But then you have a lot of things that said about the control of the gun, for example, it is effective that there are some amounts of gun death, paraphrases what he said here, to protect another amendment. It was set up for a time if one of his daughters, who was 10 years old at that time, if she was sexually attacked and became pregnant, will she want to wear pregnancy within time? And he basically said that, there would have to be a baby there. Another area where I think it may have achieved the biggest influence, whether his view of which is college and what is a young adult for, very different from what we generally heard from younger people who mostly heard in politics. He painted a positive vision of departure to the college of young people. Now that vision was effective for women, as if you should go to college just to find a husband, and that’s pretty. But he offered this look at it, “Hey, actually actually told you in America that your career and fever and grinding is most important. I’m just here to tell you that we only have family and you have children.” And we saw that the survey that recently went from NBC News where Zen Z Men ranked children as their priority number one, and no other demographic had. While women Z women cited litany other issues notice in terms of stable career, mental well-being, all those things. So, it is the thread of his legacy that I think is worth keeping, because it was really only this man sensation on campuses at the faculty. And I don’t think anyone will replace that role, but if we want to realize our policy, which has been given a number of quotes, that there are a lot of young people who really admire this guy, who you may know much, but you don’t know each other.
