Is He CRYING? Charlie Kirk Took Hasan Piker AND His Uncle Cenk Apart YEARS Ago and It Was GLORIOUS

A 2018 clip of the then-25-year-old Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk cornering Hasan Piker is making the rounds again — and it still lands like a brick through a champagne flute. Kirk's question was simple: if socialism is so moral, why not give away most of your paycheck and go live on a commune? Advertisement Hasan, with uncle and boss Cenk Uygur sitting in the audience, suddenly discovered that preaching from a Young Turks chair is a lot easier than practicing it, then watched Cenk try to flip the table by demanding Kirk's salary. Kirk stood up, said he lives like a capitalist, gives to charity, and makes less than the socialist on stage. For Twitchy readers, it's the kind of exchange that explains why Kirk is still missed: he didn't just argue with 'eat the rich' influencers. He asked them to pick up the check. It's just so damn good. Watch: If Charlie Kirk were still alive today, he'd be putting champagne socialists like Hasan Piker in their place. In 2018, he asked Hasan why he doesn't give away 95% of his salary and live on a commune. Hasan got uncomfortable fast. And wait until you see how it ends. KIRK: "Why… pic.twitter.com/FNaHgmGtC9 — The Vigilant Fox 🦊 (@VigilantFox) September 8, 2026 Post continues: ... KIRK: "Why don't you give 95% of your money away and go live on a commune?" PIKER: "Do you really think that's how it works?" KIRK: "Why not? Go live what you preach… I live what I practice. I am a free market capitalist. I employ people. I took a risk. I have my own startup business. Every single day, I practice what I preach… You have the freedom to go live as a socialist. Go do it, Hasan. What's stopping you?" PIKER: "Here's why that conversation is absolutely preposterous. If I gave away the measly earnings that I had and gave away 95% of—" KIRK: "How much do you make?" PIKER: "That wouldn't necessarily even push the needle… I will be very honest. It's really embarrassing, especially because my boss is sitting right there. I make $60,000 a year, okay?" That boss was Cenk Uygur (Hasan's uncle), who then started shouting at Kirk from the audience, demanding to know HIS salary. Kirk shot out of his seat and said this: "I live like a capitalist, okay? I live what I believe! What do I do? I give charity every single year! What's my salary? Less than his." –If there's one Charlie Kirk moment to watch as we approach a year since his death, this is it.This is the energy and conviction we so desperately need right now. Charlie, we miss you. We really do miss Charlie.
