'What the hell is he talking about?' Charlie Kirk buried on CNN over 'silly' manhood rant
A rant by Turning Point USA head Charlie Kirk on who is manly and who is not led to an explosion of laughter on CNN's "Table for Five " on Saturday morning.
As host Abby Philip pointed out before sharing the clip, "According to one MAGA star, it's a man's world and anyone who's not MAGA is just living in it."
In the clip, the frequently derided Donald Trump influencer exclaimed, "I do think that there is a direct correlation between someone's testosterone and their politics. I would love to have a study done on this on young men –– the lower their testosterone, the more likely they are to be democratic."
"Democrats are not going to be able to win over high testosterone men because they're too self-directed so differently," he suggested. "The lower your testosterone is, of course, the more likely you are going to be subservient and compliant, okay? Our republic needs alpha men."
In the middle of all the panel laughter, CNN's Harry Enten blurted "What the hell is he talking about? Oh my god! Does anyone here know?"

A laughing Phillip then said she would defer to the men at the table because she didn't want to touch it before joking, "Are you guys taking testosterone tests and then, like, registering to vote?"
Podcaster Touré offered, "I'm sure that he would love to see a correlation between testosterone and masculinity. There actually is social science on this, right? There are people who study this stuff; empathy is the core thing that divides the left from the right many times, so many of the right's policies are about this is good for me and so much of what the left is about is this is good for everybody in our view."
"So that really the point, not like 'I have more testosterone,' that's silly," he scoffed.
Former Donald Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin smiled and observed, "I've also just never heard a man I consider masculine spend time thinking about another man's testosterone levels. I think that's where you lost me."
Another former Trump official, attorney Jim Schultz, got off the unkindest cut by telling the panel, "I'm not so sure that Charlie Kirk hits the weights all that much either," to renewed laughter.
