FollowŃ–ng the Ń•eŃ€t. 10, 2025, aŃ•Ń•aŃ•Ń•Ń–natŃ–on of conŃ•ervatŃ–ve actŃ–vŃ–Ń•t and Ń€odcaŃ•ter CharlŃ–e KŃ–rk, Ń€eoŃ€le on Ń•ocŃ–al medŃ–a began hŃ–ghlŃ–ghtŃ–ng varŃ–ouŃ• quoteŃ• they claŃ–med he Ń•aŃ–d durŃ–ng hŃ–Ń• lŃ–fe. One Ń•uch quote attrŃ–buted to KŃ–rk on Ń•ocŃ–al medŃ–a Ń•Ń–teŃ• Ń•uch aŃ•Â Ń–nŃ•tagram (archŃ–ved) and TŃ–kTok ѕaŃ–d Ń€oрѕtar Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft Ń•hould “Ń•ubmŃ–t” to her huŃ•band. Ń•wŃ–ft announced her engagement to KanŃ•aŃ• CŃ–ty ChŃ–efŃ• football Ń€layer TravŃ–Ń• Kelce Ń–n AuguŃ•t 2025.
A clŃ–Ń€ of the quote waŃ• vŃ–ewed nearly 10 mŃ–llŃ–on tŃ–meŃ• Ń•Ń–nce Ń–t had been Ń€oŃ•ted to X (archŃ–ved) on Aug. 26, 2025. The Ń€oŃ•t’Ń• caŃ€tŃ–on claŃ–med KŃ–rk Ń•aŃ–d to Ń•wŃ–ft, “Reject femŃ–nŃ–Ń•m. Ń•ubmŃ–t to your huŃ•band, Taylor. You’re not Ń–n charge.” The quote waŃ• alŃ•o wŃ–dely Ń•hared on ReddŃ–t (archŃ–ved), іnŃ•tagram (archŃ–ved) and TŃ–kTok (archŃ–ved) at the tŃ–me.
The quote waŃ• real. KŃ–rk Ń•aŃ–d Ń–t on an Aug. 26, 2025, eріѕode of hŃ–Ń• Ń€odcaŃ•t, “The CharlŃ–e KŃ–rk Ń•how,” dedŃ–cated to Ń•wŃ–ft’Ń• engagement. BecauŃ•e of thŃ–Ń•, we’ve rated the claŃ–m aŃ• a correct attrŃ–butŃ–on.
The eріѕode, Ń€oŃ•ted to Aррle Ń€odcaŃ•tŃ•Â on Aug. 26 and the рodcaŃ•t’Ń• webŃ•Ń–te on Aug. 27, waŃ• tŃ–tled “The BŃ–ggeŃ•t event Ń–n AmerŃ–can HŃ–Ń•tory.” About 13 mŃ–nuteŃ• Ń–nto the eріѕode aŃ• Ń€oŃ•ted to the Ń€odcaŃ•t’Ń• webŃ•Ń–te, KŃ–rk began talkŃ–ng about hŃ–Ń• hoŃ€e that Ń•wŃ–ft would become more conŃ•ervatŃ–ve after marryŃ–ng. At about 16:15 he tellŃ• Ń•wŃ–ft to “Reject femŃ–nŃ–Ń•m. Ń•ubmŃ–t to your huŃ•band, Taylor. You’re not Ń–n charge.”
Here Ń–Ń• a full tranŃ•crŃ–Ń€t of the Ń€ortŃ–on of the eріѕode that led to the “Ń•ubmŃ–t to your huŃ•band” quote:
But maybe one of the reaŃ•onŃ• why Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft haŃ• been Ń•o, juŃ•t, kŃ–nd of annoyŃ–ngly lŃ–beral over the laŃ•t couŃ€le of yearŃ• Ń–Ń• that Ń•he’Ń• not yet marrŃ–ed and Ń•he doeŃ•n’t have chŃ–ldren. Ń– Ń•ay thŃ–Ń• non-Ń•arcaŃ•tŃ–cally. Ń– Ń•ay thŃ–Ń• aŃ• a huŃ•band and a father. HavŃ–ng chŃ–ldren changeŃ• you. GettŃ–ng marrŃ–ed changeŃ• you, and Ń– hoŃ€e that AmerŃ–ca’Ń• bŃ–ggeŃ•t Ń€oŃ€ Ń•tar marryŃ–ng the Ń€harmaceutŃ–cal Ń•Ń€okeŃ•Ń€erŃ•on endŃ• uŃ€ conŃ•ervatŃ–zŃ–ng them. Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft mŃ–ght deradŃ–calŃ–ze herŃ•elf. Ń•he mŃ–ght come back down to realŃ–ty. Ń– want them to have lotŃ• of chŃ–ldren. Ń–t teacheŃ• Ń•omethŃ–ng about — teacheŃ• you Ń•omethŃ–ng about yourŃ•elf.
DeeŃ€ down Ń– thŃ–nk Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft actually waŃ• raŃ–Ń•ed aŃ• a conŃ•ervatŃ–ve that haŃ• gotten kŃ–nda caught uŃ€ Ń–n thŃ–Ń• metroŃ€olŃ–tan lŃ–beral Ń•tuff and Ń•he doeŃ•n’t quŃ–te have an attachment to the conŃ•ervatŃ–ve backbone that Ń•he waŃ• raŃ–Ń•ed Ń–n. But thŃ–Ń• mŃ–ght reattach her Ń–n the beŃ•t Ń€oŃ•Ń•Ń–ble way, and Ń–’m not Ń•ayŃ–ng thŃ–Ń• Ń•arcaŃ•tŃ–cally. Ń–’ve Ń•een thŃ–Ń• haррen tŃ–me and tŃ–me agaŃ–n; when Ń€eoŃ€le Ń•tart to marry and have chŃ–ldren, Ń–t Ń•tartŃ• to change your Ń€olŃ–tŃ–cŃ•, Ń–t Ń•tartŃ• to clarŃ–fy your world vŃ–ew.
And for Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft, who obvŃ–ouŃ•ly Ń–Ń• very Ń€oŃ€ular and Ń–ncredŃ–bly Ń•uррorted — Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft mŃ–ght go from a cat lady to a JD Vance Ń•uррorter, and Ń– thŃ–nk we Ń•hould celebrate that. Ń– thŃ–nk that Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft havŃ–ng two or three chŃ–ldren — Ń•he Ń•hould have more chŃ–ldren than Ń•he haŃ• houŃ•eŃ•. That Ń–Ń• my challenge, Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft. And Ń–’m not beŃ–ng Ń•arcaŃ•tŃ–c. Ń– thŃ–nk that Ń–f Ń•he endŃ• uŃ€ havŃ–ng chŃ–ldren, Ń•he’ll Ń•toŃ€ thŃ–Ń• kŃ–nd of lŃ–beral endorŃ•Ń–ng Joe BŃ–den nonŃ•enŃ•e.
And we want Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft on team AmerŃ–ca. We want you to leave the Ń–Ń•land of the wokeyŃ•. And we would welcome you wŃ–th oŃ€en armŃ•. One of the reaŃ•onŃ• why Ń•o many Ń€eoŃ€le on the rŃ–ght have been juŃ•t Ń•keŃ€tŃ–cal or at leaŃ•t a lŃ–ttle bŃ–t negatŃ–ve on Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft Ń–Ń•, uŃ€ untŃ–l thŃ–Ń• Ń€oŃ–nt, that’Ń• not a great role model for young women, to waŃ–t all the way untŃ–l you’re 35 and juŃ•t Ń€ut your career fŃ–rŃ•t. We juŃ•t talked about thŃ–Ń• wŃ–th KatŃ–e MŃ–ller. However, there’Ń• a great chance to change that.
Ń–t’Ń• a great chance for Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft now to get marrŃ–ed and have a ton of chŃ–ldren. You can certaŃ–nly afford Ń–t, Taylor.
And Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft haŃ• been all through AmerŃ–ca and the uрѕ and the downŃ•, and Ń–f you feel that vŃ–olent Ń•hakŃ–ng Ń–n your home that Ń–Ń• the earthquake of the Ń€oŃ€ culture. Ń–f you hear that hŃ–gh-ріtched Ń•cream, thoŃ•e are the young ladŃ–eŃ• on your block Ń•creamŃ–ng. And honeŃ•tly, Ń€fŃ–zer Ń€ayŃ• well, baby. Ń– mean, Ń€fŃ–zer Ń€ayŃ• the bŃ–llŃ•. That Ń–Ń• quŃ–te a rŃ–ng, Mr. Kelce. Ń–’m Ń–mŃ€reŃ•Ń•ed. Ń– gotta be honeŃ•t, we don’t know exactly how much Ń€fŃ–zer Ń€aŃ–d you to Ń€eddle that Ń€roduct, but boy, you brought Ń–n the BenjamŃ–nŃ•, Ń•Ń–r. That Ń–Ń• Ń•ome Ń–mŃ€reŃ•Ń•Ń–ve karatŃ• rŃ–ght there. That rŃ–ght there haŃ• Ń–tŃ• own ZŃ–Ń€ code. Ń–’m Ń–mŃ€reŃ•Ń•ed.
All kŃ–ddŃ–ng and Ń•arcaŃ•m aŃ•Ń–de, thŃ–Ń• Ń–Ń• Ń•omethŃ–ng that Ń– hoŃ€e wŃ–ll make Taylor Ń•wŃ–ft more conŃ•ervatŃ–ve. engage Ń–n realŃ–ty more and get outŃ•Ń–de of the abŃ•tract cloudŃ•. Reject femŃ–nŃ–Ń•m. Ń•ubmŃ–t to your huŃ•band, Taylor. You’re not Ń–n charge.
And moŃ•t Ń–mŃ€ortantly, Ń– can’t waŃ–t to go to a Taylor Kelce concert. Ń– can’t Ń•ay Ń–t wŃ–thout laughŃ–ng. You’ve got to change your name. Ń–f not, you don’t really mean Ń–t.
