1
a good point i mean charlie kirk has said
2
that the civil rights act was you know not good he said multiple other things
3
that martin luther king was a mythological anti-racist like verbatim i agree with you said a lot of terrible things
4
so i guess my follow-up question would be do you think what happened to him was okay
5
because i mean i still just don't believe
6
that that's ever acceptable to you know that's some
7
but obviously you seem to disagree
8
so i'm curious as to what your solution would be to people like him who perhaps hate manga, perhaps spread lies, even if they are racist lies?
9
What would your solution be?
10
I'm a true believer in freedom of speech.
11
So I think everyone has the freedom to speak.
12
I don't believe there should be a such thing as hate crimes.
13
I think it's a strange concept.
14
I believe that if you have proper laws on the books, laws for assault, laws for murder, laws for things like this, you don't need hate crimes.
15
It's an unnecessary enhancement.
16
So a Charlie Kirk would be permitted to speak.
17
The fundamental solution to a Charlie Kirk is not to stop people from speaking.
18
It's not to have draconian laws.
19
It is to have a properly educated populace so that when people hear something that's patently foolish,
20
they can say, oh, this guy's an idiot.
21
Instead of saying, oh, Okay, I see how that makes sense.
22
The reason that people listen to a Charlie Kirk
23
and they can't put together how idiotic his arguments are is because they're uneducated.
24
They're woefully uneducated.
25
And that's the chief problem.
26
And my driving force is to get to the root causes so that we can have real solutions or real fruit, right?
27
We deal with the root and then it will bear fruit.
28
the problem is that so often we deal with the outcomes as opposed to the true causes.
29
And Charlie Kirk is not good for black people.
30
He's not good for white people.
31
He's not good for thinking people.
32
And my challenge to a Charlie Kirk, if I was speaking to him right now, is after he finishes telling me how black women are fat,
33
and they are, after he finishes telling me how black people are intellectually inferior, after he finishes telling me how black people are violent, which is extraordinary claim coming from anyone who's white,
34
after he finishes, unless you're from like Albania or something, places that haven't had a significant empire or colonial footprint,
35
after he finishes that, then I'd say, okay, let's take all those things as true.
36
I have no need to argue against any of it.
37
Let's say black people are low IQ.
38
Let's say that women are, black women are fat.
39
What are you doing to fix it?
40
And so you as a Charlie Kirk acolyte, I'm going to put the question to you.
41
What did Charlie Kirk do to fix the challenges that he describes black people having?
42
What has he done to fix them?
43
I mean, I don't believe he would personally want to fix them.
44
Obviously, I think he's most definitely racist, but...
45
Oh, okay.
46
So the real challenge is this.
47
You have me, the one who I can see what's going on.
48
So the question isn't what to do with Charlie Kirk.
49
Charlie Kirk's done, clocked out.
50
But the real question is what to do with you, my boy.
51
What to do with you because you fence sitters, you overseers.
52
Do you know what an overseer is?
53
As in someone who watches over other people?
54
No, no, the overseer.
55
What do you mean as in relation to racial?
56
When some of the whites in America enslaved all of the blacks in America
57
and they would force them to toil from sunup to sundown under harsh circumstances,
58
there was someone called an overseer who would enforce that everyone was doing as the enslaver told them to do.
59
No breaks, no complaints, focus on your work.
60
The overseer, of course, would crack the web.
61
He would report to the master.
62
He was the one that collaborates with white supremacy.
63
you.
64
He's an apologist of the system, a defender of the system.
65
He's not a slave master.
66
He ain't up that high.
67
He's not the slave master.
68
He's not even in the slave master's family.
69
He's not benefiting directly, but he speaks on behalf of the slave master.
70
He speaks to validate the system and uphold its existence, to maintain its life, just like you speak to maintaining Charlie Kirk's life.
71
So you would be the overseer.
72
So the question is for the peoples who would like to live free, the good peoples, what do we do with you?
73
I mean, I mean, addressing what you're saying, listen, obviously Charlie Kirk said a lot of bad things,
74
but you've got to understand that.
75
No, no, no. You're about to say something else.
76
I'm saying, what do we do with you?
77
What do you do with people like me who you believe are overseers?
78
Not you.
79
We.
80
What do we, those who would like to live free and peaceful, what do we do with you?
81
Have I said anything that you think?
82
I'm not asking you that.
83
I'm just asking what do we do with you?
84
What's the context of the question?
85
I just told you.
86
I just said you are the overseer.
87
I explained everything clearly and I'm saying what do we do with you?
88
I just I mean I disagree with the premise of your
89
statement I don't believe I'm an overseer I don't believe uh I understand you don't believe
90
that you're an overseer just like for example
91
Muslims uh they don't believe that Jesus is God
92
and Christians don't believe that Jesus is not God they have different beliefs
93
and you accept what the other's belief is I'm accepting what your beliefs are
94
but I'm saying what do we do with you?
95
Like, if you are what I said you are, what do we do with you?
96
Again, I'm going to stick with the same premise that I had coming on in that debate.
97
There's always the way.
98
I don't know if you're trying to lead me towards an answer that's more extreme, but I always believe in, you know, if you disagree with someone, you can come in and out and make them look,
99
and you can make them look bad or you can show them
100
that they're wrong show the audience that what they're saying is silly
101
or doesn't make sense yes i don't know if your statement is
102
that there should be something more severe
103
that happens to people who you believe are overseers rather than just pointing that out
104
and demonstrating it to people what is your name young man
105
adi adi adi adi i want you to know your nature is beautiful it's it's soft it's open,
106
it's caring, it's accepting, it's loving.
107
And Adi, your nature in particular is the exact same reason that Blacks were enslaved in mass, that Blacks were colonized in mass,
108
and you still have the same nature of the Black that was victim.
109
And I pray that your nature, your mentality, your culture, and your thinking dies with you.
110
I really do.
111
It's extraordinarily dangerous to a freedom loving people, but it's great for an enslaver.
112
So if I was Charlie Kirk, I'd love to see black people like you think you can debate me while I'm getting this noose ready.
113
You're going to debate me.
114
No, no. Let me tell you three reasons.
115
You shouldn't string me up in that tree boss.
116
While I'm getting the whip ready to lash across your back.
117
Let me tell you three reasons you shouldn't you shouldn't enslave me again
118
because debate works you just explain
119
and then the monster's like oh like for sure i now
120
have changed my mind i i agree with you little black guy from uh uk
121
but really from what nigeria nigeria i'm good damn i'm good i'm really good marquette is the greatest uh
122
so yes little black guy who's from uk but you're really to me me charlie Kirk, you're really just Nigerian.
123
So little Nigerian guy, yeah, you've persuaded me because I look at you as a human.
124
Yeah, I look at you as equal to me, the white guy who's constantly explaining how you're inferior.
125
And because I view you as an equal to me, the one that I call low IQ, I'm going to let you,
126
the low IQ one, explain things to me and persuade me in a debate to treat you like a human,
127
even though I fundamentally don't think that you're a worthwhile human that makes perfect sense.
128
Perfect sense.
129
Do you not ever sound insane to yourself?
130
Or is that just to me, you sound insane?
131
Do you ever like, listen, like, damn, I don't sound realistic.
132
I'm being honest.
133
I genuinely don't think what I'm saying is bad.
134
I think it's just, well, let me tell you this, but I just think that stupidity is evil.
135
And, and as much as the case, you are just as dangerous as Charlie Kirk,
136
who is just as dangerous as Adolf Hitler.
137
To be the one who is the enslaver, clearly dangerous.
138
To be the one who is the overseer for the enslaver, oh, insidious, nasty work.
139
It's nasty work because some people might look at you, Adi or whatever.
140
I don't know.
141
You're Nigerian.
142
You're not white.
143
You don't have a white name.
144
I can't say your name because it's not white.
145
It's like Nigerian.
146
So since we're not Nigeria, I'll just pretend as though I can't pronounce it since I'm a white supporter.
147
So people like you, you're nasty work because some blacks might look at you and think you're one of them, but really you're one of me.
148
You're my spawn.
149
You're my creation.
150
And I appreciate you.
151
Are you a Christian?
152
Yeah.
153
Exactly.
154
Exactly.
155
Thank you.
156
You go to church Sundays and you worship a white Jesus, right?
157
I mean, Christianity was that before.
158
No, I'm just asking.
159
I'm just asking.
160
In your church, in your church, is there a white Jesus?
161
No, there's not a picture of white Jesus.
162
I mean, you said, you don't have to start lying now.
163
You just said that there was a white Jesus.
164
No, no, no. There's no white Jesus.
165
I thought we had you all the way.
166
I thought we had you all the way.
167
Because our effort is to rob you of what you are.
168
We don't want you to follow the ism, be yourself, be good to yourself, be good to good people, be yourself.
169
We don't want you to know who you are.
170
We want you to be just like us.
171
If you have a unique name, like a Nigerian name, we want you to have a name like John, Paul, James, you know, a white biblical name, an English name, an Anglicized name.
172
And if your name is not one of those things, then we will pretend as though cannot pronounce it
173
so what is your name what's your name that's my i mean my name is adi
174
but no your name is toby what is your name okay
175
i i see what i know your name is toby what is your name
176
i'm i'm telling you i don't toby it's toby just toby get the whip get the whip this
177
want to act up listen i mean do you think do you think
178
that you are acting like that when you did criticize toby toby one second toby one second just real quick
179
okay you you live in the uk bruv you're a christian just like the whites in the uk bruv
180
uh you dress like them uh what was your really like what's your your tribe was it eboo ebo Yoruba.
181
Yoruba.
182
Nice.
183
Yoruba.
184
What was their religion before Christianity? Or Islam?
185
I think it was some form of polytheistic.
186
You think?
187
You think?
188
You haven't looked into it.
189
Oh, so what you're saying is Marquette, you're right.
190
They've separated me from what I am.
191
You, you maybe don't have to follow it, but damn, you don't even know.
192
You don't even know the history of your people.
193
And I'll tell you why it's so sad, Toby.
194
Toby, it's very, very sad because the black Americans, they were ripped away from their history and they were forced,
195
forced not to know their history.
196
It was robbed of them, knowledge of self.
197
You voluntarily decided to not know who you are, Toby.
198
And the reason you don't know your own religion is because you've taken out the time to learn my religion, me, I'm Charlie Kirk, the white, you know, the Christian, uh, and you've taken out time to study my religion,
199
but you didn't study your own.
200
That's fascinating.
201
Toby, do you speak Yoruba?
202
No, Toby, Toby.
203
So you're telling me in 2025 where you could very much
204
so have like a second language uh you know speak yoruba
205
and english you're like ah my history is irrelevant i don't need
206
that i don't need to know my own religion i don't need to know the history of the land from
207
which i come i don't need to speak the language of
208
my forefathers i'd rather just pretend they don't exist toby toby
209
you are me say it with me i am white i mean i understand what you're saying no no, no, no, no, no, no. Just say it.
210
I am white.
211
Okay.
212
Just real quick.
213
Okay.
214
Try this.
215
Try this.
216
This might feel better.
217
This might feel better.
218
Say I am a white.
219
No, no, you are.
220
You are Toby said, I am a white.
221
How is criticizing?
222
I'm just trying to get you.
223
Toby, I'm just trying to get you to the truth.
224
I mean, I'm being our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, the truth, the light, to something else it doesn't make you a overseer what was
225
that i mean you criticize black people too like trying to i do criticize black people toby
226
but you know what i don't do do you know what
227
i don't do toby what i don't come on as a
228
mouthpiece for white supremacists who hate black people that's number one toby
229
and then number two toby i do not criticize black people without also lifting them up.
230
So I might chastise with one hand and lift up with the other hand.
231
And both are needed.
232
But what I don't do, I don't do the work of the devil, Toby.
233
I do God's work, but I don't do the work of the devil's.
234
I don't criticize Black people and speak the talking points of white supremacists.
235
And what I also don't do is I don't shed my own culture in favor of the culture of another people.
236
There's nothing wrong with Christianity if you're a white Christian.
237
There's nothing wrong with speaking great English if you're an Englishman.
238
There's nothing wrong with any of the things I pointed out.
239
If you're Charlie Kirk, but if you're a black person who's from Nigeria,
240
knows not the language of the Yoruba, knows not the history, not the religion,
241
it would It seems as though you're just another lost nigga and they've taken everything from you and you let them.
242
You study what they have for you to learn, but you didn't try to figure out who you are.
243
You figured out who they are.
244
You know it perfectly, but you know not who you are.
245
It's a shame.
246
You don't think like, damn, this is kind of embarrassing.
247
I had the opportunity to learn who I am.
248
It's as simple as a Google study and a YouTube video, but I didn't take out the time.
249
I don't care about me.
250
That doesn't blow your mind.
251
I mean, there's no much you can do looking at the history of Nigeria
252
and the British came to Nigeria and that's where they got all of the people who they brought to America.
253
So they kind of colonized Nigeria.
254
Are you suggesting that Nigerian history started with British colonization?
255
No, it didn't.
256
But the way colonization works is they replace the culture.
257
They destroy the culture they do in India, for example.
258
Oh, fascinating.
259
The British went to India, founded the East Indian Company, looted it, extrapolated the resources, and they did the same in Nigeria.
260
I'll tell you the difference, though.
261
I know many Indian people.
262
I've had many Indian business partners and employees.
263
And I've even labeled some gorgeous Indian women.
264
I don't know one Indian person who does not speak a language that is from India.
265
They're going to speak Hindi.
266
They're going to speak something.
267
I do not know one person that does not speak a language that is from India who is Indian.
268
Did you know that?
269
I bet all the Indian people you know as well probably speak Hindi or something else that's from India.
270
Furthermore, I don't know one Indian person who is not practicing a religion that is not in India.
271
Like most of the ones I know could just be me.
272
They are Hindu or they're practicing a religion that makes them a vegetarian and they have all this like,
273
what's the other lovely religion that's escaping me right now?
274
It's a great book.
275
Sikhs.
276
I know Indians who are Sikhs.
277
I know Indians who are Hindu.
278
These are Indian religions, my boy, even after colonialism.
279
But you, Toby, you seem like you just really latched on to colonialism.
280
Here's the difference.
281
You know, when they're forcing it on you, that's one thing.
282
But when they're not forcing it on you and you're saying, feed me, feed me, feed me more white supremacy, and you're seeking it out and studying it and worshiping it every Sunday, that's you.
283
That's not the British.
284
You ain't getting colonized right now.
285
You're colonizing yourself.
286
So your example makes literally no sense because truth be told, if I had the great privilege of being,
287
say, Yoruba or Ibu or Nosa or Zulu or anything you could name,
288
I'd be a scholar of that.
289
I'd also be a scholar of the British.
290
I mean, they're brilliant, were a brilliant people, but I'd for sure know my history because it's a privilege to have a history like yours wasn't erased.
291
So you don't have it because you're lost.
292
And you also won't admit that you're lost and then start trying to become found.
293
You're not going to find yourself unless you search.
294
But you're telling me that Nigerian history begun with British colonization.
295
And that's extraordinary.
296
And the reason, Toby, I knew only lost would show up because real- don't support a Charlie Kirk.
297
They damn sure don't defend a Charlie Kirk.
298
Now, a real man might not celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk.
299
That's kind of crazy, but they damn sure ain't going to show up
300
and try to show out for somebody who viewed them as little more than an incompetent, overweight, violent monkey.
301
You should be ashamed to even show up to defend something like that.
302
That's your opinion?
303
No, those are called the facts, actually.
304
But the facts, like you don't know your religion, you don't know your real language, you don't know your own history.
305
Those are called the facts, Toby.
306
But it's a matter of assimilation when you move into a country or you move to another country.
307
Assimilation?
308
No, no, I'll tell you what assimilation is.
309
I have some great examples of assimilation.
310
For example, I know a gorgeous Ukrainian woman I used to deal with.
311
Beautiful.
312
She moved into Poland and she has assimilated.
313
She speaks a little bit of Polish.
314
She eats pierogies and, you know, it's blended into the society quite well.
315
She's not adopted their religion.
316
She has not forgotten how to speak Ukrainian.
317
And she still thinks Ukrainian food is better and cooks Ukrainian food from scratch.
318
Assimilation is not you releasing that which you are, Toby.
319
Come on now.
320
Come on, Toby.
321
Listen, you don't have to fight it because when you're fighting this truth that I'm sharing, All I'm trying to do is bring you back to you.
322
I'm trying to introduce you to you.
323
But you're fighting me so hard like, boy, Marque, God damn it.
324
I will not be black.
325
I will not be Nigerian.
326
I will not figure out what what is Yoruba?
327
What's the language?
328
What's the history?
329
What's the religion?
330
No, I am an Englishman.
331
I'm an Englishman, darling.
332
Cheerio.
333
Let's have tea and trumpets.
334
do you not think that there's a good number of white folks in uk
335
or america charlie kirk fans
336
that look at you as little more than an incompetent violent aggressive ape are you aware of that
337
i don't doubt that there's some extreme some people are extreme in their rhetoric
338
and extreme in their beliefs but fundamentally what i'm saying is
339
that as i said it's a malaysia you keep escaping the truth
340
but i'm saying do you not realize that most of charlie kirk's viewers look at you that way?
341
I mean, I'm so excited now, dude, but no, I wouldn't say majority.
342
Oh, you wouldn't say the majority.
343
You see, the challenge, the reason that you're blind is because when you're around, they don't say it.
344
They wait till you leave.
345
That's why you're a little bit deluded.
346
You see, you think that you're the same.
347
You think that you're one of them.
348
Like, yeah, we're conservatives.
349
And I'm not a liberal.
350
They're psychopaths.
351
But you think that you're like one of the one of the boys
352
and when you leave they they talk about you
353
and they don't invite you to certain things you think
354
that the british who colonized all of the colored peoples including your people you think now they think
355
that you the colonial subject is equal to them you believe
356
that i mean as i said some people don't some do there's yes
357
but we're talking about charlie kirk
358
and his supporters you see consistently he spoke ill of blacks
359
like you right he's debated multiple times with her you know
360
a couple years ago um they went tour to college campuses
361
and debate you don't think he'd see her as an equal
362
so wow you're very hopeful you're very hopeful i like
363
that you're very hopeful so i just want you to know
364
and i want everyone watching to know uh you're a sweet young man you're a very hopeful loving young man,
365
but ignorance and stupidity is evil.
366
And it is upon good men to eradicate evil.
367
And just as dangerous as an Adolf or a Charlie Kirk, you are as dangerous, but probably worse because you look like us,
368
but you are not on our team.
369
You're not on our side.
370
And that's why I want everyone watching to know
371
that I always tell you guys that the ism is not a racial thing.
372
I'm not for black people.
373
I'm for good people.
374
Because there's some black people who are not good people like Lil Nas X, you.
375
And it's not because you're malicious.
376
It's because you're so lost, young man.
377
And you will never be found because the inferiority has been pushed into you so deeply.
378
It saddens me, really, because you can't be saved.
379
You're too far gone because you would sit here and argue on behalf of your colonizer, argue on behalf of your enslaver.

Hell, I have people in my family who are white people.
384
And any one of them I would defend on the basis of their goodness.
385
Yes.
386
But if they were a racist and they're spewing out hatred about black people, never helping any black person, I would never defend them.
387
And those are people I know.
388
Those are people I'm actually familiar with.

Why This Video Clip Is Perfect for Speaking Practice
This conversation is a goldmine for English learners! It’s packed with natural, conversational speech—think quick back-and-forths, rhetorical questions, and real-world arguments. The speakers use everyday vocabulary mixed with expressive phrases, making it ideal for practicing shadow speak (repeating aloud in real time). You’ll pick up on tone, pacing, and how to emphasize key points, which are crucial for sounding fluent. Plus, the topic is engaging, so you’ll stay motivated while improving your skills!
Breaking Down Natural Speech: 3 Key Phrases
- “I guess my follow-up question would be…”: This is a soft, polite way to transition in a debate. Native speakers often use “I guess” to sound less confrontational, and “follow-up question” keeps the conversation flowing. Practice saying it with a slight pause before “would be” to mimic natural rhythm.
- “It’s an unnecessary enhancement”: Here, “enhancement” is a precise word choice that adds weight to the argument. The short, direct structure (“It’s an…”) is common in casual debates. Repeat this to work on clear pronunciation of “unnecessary” (un-NESS-uh-ree) and stressing “enhancement” (en-HANSS-ment).
- “What are you doing to fix it?”: A sharp, rhetorical question that pushes the conversation forward. Notice the rising intonation at the end—this is how native speakers show they’re challenging someone. Use this phrase in your own practice to master tone and emphasis.
Your 5-Minute Shadowing Routine for This Clip
Ready to try the shadowing technique? Here’s how: 1. Watch the video once to understand the context. 2. Play a 10-second clip, pause, and repeat it aloud—mimic the speed, tone, and pauses. 3. Record yourself, then compare it to the original. Focus on matching the stress in words like “patently foolish” or “woefully uneducated.” 4. Do this 3x for each clip, then try it without pausing (this is shadowspeak at its best!). 5. End by summarizing the conversation in your own words—this boosts comprehension and fluency.
This routine works because it trains your mouth and brain to work together, making pronunciation feel automatic. Use a shadowing site if you need help slowing down clips, but even just repeating from the video will make a difference. You’ll notice progress in days—promise!

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
