Charlie Kirk Torches Britain As ‘Totalitarian Third World Hellhole’ After Returning From Trip

Upon returning from his trip to the United Kingdom (U.K.), Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk sharply criticized the nation on Thursday while expressing deep gratitude for the United States.

Kirk spent three days in England. including public debates at Oxford and Cambridge. On his first episode back on “The Charlie Kirk Show,” he described the U.K. as a “totalitarian third world hellhole,” lamenting what he considered the country’s deterioration.

“It’s tragic. I don’t say that with glib, I don’t say that with delight. It is sad. Britain is why we exist. It’s like going back to the life force and it’s chilling and it’s depressing. There was one cafe that I drove by in downtown London and every single table was taken by a Mohammedan and a fully burqa-wearing woman — not a single native Brit. The entire cafe was taken,” Kirk said. “I walk shop by shop — and producer Blake, who did a great job preparing us for Oxford and Cambridge, and he deserves a ton of credit for that — he has his antenna up with this stuff and he was like, ‘I can’t believe how much Arabic there is on the stores here.’ I kid you not, it is store after store and the Brits say, ‘Well, what’s the big deal? Why does this matter?’”

“I’m not exaggerating this in the slightest … In the hotel I was staying in, I always like watching local TV. So I start flipping through the local TV to see that, you know, what are they consuming? I kid you not, 40% of the TV channels in my hotel were Arabic. They had the Yemeni channel, they had the Kuwaiti channel, they had the Oman channel, they had the Iraq TV, they had the Lebanon TV, they had a bunch of Saudi channels, they had the Qatari channel — not an exaggeration,” he continued. “The entire TV canon — and I stayed in three different hotels because we were bouncing all over the place — it was the same with the Hilton Garden Inn at the London Heathrow Airport as it was in Cambridge, as it was in London. All of the TV channels are configured to a Mohammedan population.”

Kirk then condemned the U.K. for arresting numerous people over online posts. These arrests have included individuals who seemed to have no harmful intent, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of multiple reports.

“They invented free speech, sent it back to our country. There’s so much wrong with that country and it is not worthy of making fun of,” he said. “I mean, you can have some laughs and some comedy, but it is depressing. It is dark. And I came back literally kissing the ground when I came back from London yesterday. Because there’s a lot of problems with America.”

“But let me give you two things that I think we should be thankful for that we don’t notice. Of course, freedom of speech number one. And then number two: the spirit of America,” he continued. “When we have a problem, we believe we can solve it. There’s is entrepreneurialism. There is this grit. There is this pioneer spirit. And in Britain, they are defeated at the soul. They’re like, ‘Cheers, mate. Country’s done. Let’s go drink. What we have is unique. And it’s a blessing from the Lord.
