00:02:58.000 The Democrat media mob is coming for the fighters.

00:03:02.000 We've been talking a lot about the need to fight on this program on the Charlie Kirk show, about how people need to rise up against the lies, rise up against the lies, and rise up against the propaganda machine that has infected our entire country.

00:03:16.000 One of the people that has been fighting effectively and has been standing for truth is Tucker Carlson.

00:03:21.000 Recently, Tucker Carlson on his show offered an incredibly powerful rebuke of the New York Times for an upcoming story in which he purports the New York Times plans to publish his family's home address, play tape.

00:03:35.000 Last week, the New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live.

00:03:40.000 As a matter of journalism, there is no conceivable justification for a story like that.

00:03:44.000 The paper is not alleging we've done anything wrong, and we haven't.

00:03:47.000 We pay our taxes, we like our neighbors, we've never had a dispute with anyone.

00:03:52.000 So why is the New York Times doing a story on the location of my family's house?

00:03:57.000 Well, you know why?

00:03:58.000 To hurt us, to injure my wife and kids, so that I will shut up and stop disagreeing with them.

00:04:04.000 They believe in force.

00:04:05.000 We've learned that.

00:04:07.000 Two years ago, a left-wing journalist publicized our home address in Washington.

00:04:11.000 A group of screaming Antifa lunatics showed up while I was at work.

00:04:14.000 They vandalized our home. 0.96

00:04:15.000 They threatened my wife.

00:04:17.000 She called 911 while hiding in a closet.

00:04:19.000 A few weeks later, they showed up again at our house.

00:04:22.000 For the next year, they sent letters to our home threatening to kill us.

00:04:26.000 We tried to ignore it.

00:04:27.000 It felt cowardly to sell our home and leave.

00:04:30.000 We raised our kids there in the neighborhood, and we loved it.

00:04:33.000 But in the end, that's what we did.

00:04:35.000 We have four children.

00:04:36.000 It just wasn't worth it.

00:04:38.000 But the New York Times followed us.

00:04:40.000 The paper has assigned a political activist called Murray Carpenter to write a story about where we are now.

00:04:45.000 They've hired a photographer called Tristan Spinsky to take pictures.

00:04:49.000 Their story about where we live is slated to run in the paper this week.

00:04:53.000 Editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does run.

00:04:56.000 I called them today and I told them, but they didn't care.

00:05:00.000 They hate my politics.

00:05:01.000 They want this show off the air.

00:05:03.000 If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote, they won't consider it collateral damage.

00:05:08.000 They know it's the whole point of the exercise to inflict pain on our family, to terrorize us, to control what we say.

00:05:15.000 I have dealt with reporters all throughout this activist media community.

00:05:20.000 There are some people that just do their job and they're kind of not worth mentioning.

00:05:26.000 And there are some awful people that work for some of these institutions that are activist-driven and want to destroy your life.

00:05:33.000 I've dealt with a pack of these reporters in just the last six or seven months, relentlessly trying to destroy this podcast and this program.

00:05:42.000 So understand, they're coming after me.

00:05:44.000 They're coming after Tucker Carlson.

00:05:46.000 They're coming after all of us.

00:05:47.000 And for those of you that go to charliekirk.com/slash support, charliekirk.com/slash support, you're allowing us to stay strong, stay funded, and stay well-staffed because they come after all of the sources of revenue of this program.

00:06:03.000 Now, this comes right after Antifa, the radical terrorist organization of the Democrat Party, has harassed Tucker Carlson for two years, sending threatening letters to his home and attempting to beat down his door with his wife and children inside.

00:06:20.000 Now, does the New York Times feel any remorse?

00:06:23.000 No.

00:06:24.000 Of course they don't.

00:06:26.000 Because they know what they're doing and they know that if they're able to silence one of the strongest voices against the left-wing propaganda machine, then they win.

00:06:35.000 And if you dare defend your home from the mob, from people trying to break in to rape your family members or steal your possessions or possibly kill you or burn down your home, and then, well, if you do that, if you defend yourself, well, then maybe the law will come for you too.

00:06:51.000 This week, it was announced that the McCloskey family of St. Louis will be charged with unlawful brandishing of weapons after a BLM Inc. mob broke through iron gates, trespassed on their property, and roved through their streets.

00:07:08.000 I saw the video.

00:07:10.000 They literally tore down the iron gate going into their mansion, trespassed all across their property.

00:07:17.000 If you are not able to use a weapon to defend yourself in that circumstance with lawful breaking and entering, when can you use a weapon?

00:07:26.000 This was not a public park.

00:07:28.000 This was not the middle of a street.

00:07:30.000 This wasn't a school zone. 0.67

00:07:31.000 This was a private property where BLM Inc. terrorists decide to just bulldoze down a gate and go terrorize someone that they disagree with. 0.74

00:07:42.000 Now, the McCloskeys saw the carnage that these type of mobs created in cities across the country. 0.67

00:07:47.000 And mind you, they called the police and the police did nothing.

00:07:50.000 The police decided just to stay out of this one.

00:07:53.000 And so they did what any decent American would do, arm themselves and try to defend their property.

00:08:00.000 Now, mind you, they never fired their weapon.

00:08:02.000 Mind you, they never used their weapon.

00:08:04.000 And as soon as they brought out their weapons, the mob quickly disappeared. 0.56

00:08:10.000 And so now, a DA, who is funded by George Soros, district attorney, brought forth charges that will likely fall flat because the governor of Missouri, Mike Parson, has promised the McCloskeys that they'll be pardoned should they be convicted. 0.93

00:08:24.000 Good for Governor Parson. 0.55

00:08:26.000 He should do a preemptive part and just get this circus over with so that they are not mounting legal bills and expect him to be the next person on the left's hit list.

00:08:35.000 You see, the left is an endless swarm trying to personally and categorically destroy all of us.

00:08:42.000 And if you think that, oh, they're never going to come after me, that they'll eat me last, you're wrong.

00:08:47.000 They'll do this on a micro level.

00:08:49.000 They will find every conservative across every single high school, college, and middle school.

00:08:54.000 They will find out one thing you did wrong and try to get you kicked out of college, like I've seen so many times before with young conservatives.

00:09:00.000 They'll try to kick you out of fraternities and sororities.

00:09:02.000 They're coming after all of you.

00:09:04.000 They are trying to destroy our life, and sometimes they're succeeding.

00:09:08.000 So there's two lessons of this.

00:09:09.000 Number one, we have to stick together a lot better.

00:09:12.000 We have to have each other's back.

00:09:14.000 We have to not take these activist media hit pieces against one another seriously at all.

00:09:20.000 We have to understand that people make mistakes, and sometimes we have to just take that as part of the human condition and not defend the indefensible.

00:09:28.000 But if someone says something foolish or does something that they regret and they apologize for it or they hired somebody that they shouldn't have hired or whatever, you don't all of a sudden join the swarm and the symphony of attacks against an ally.

00:09:42.000 You don't join the tidal wave of repudiation.

00:09:45.000 Because you think the left would do that when we go after one of their own people?

00:09:49.000 A great example is Joy Reed. 1.00

00:09:51.000 Joy Reed is one of the most dishonest, one of the most dangerous people in media. 1.00

00:09:58.000 She now has a television show on MSNBC. 1.00

00:10:00.000 It used to be a weekend show where no one used to watch it. 0.95

00:10:02.000 Now they promoted her to, I think, a primetime show.

00:10:05.000 It's somewhere around there.

00:10:06.000 Now, there have been an incredible amount of research done of how Joy Reed was a 9-11 truther.

00:10:12.000 She said horrendous comments that were homophobic, that if a conservative said, they would have been completely kicked off air and they never would have been allowed back.

00:10:21.000 This is all on Joy Reed's blog posts all about how Charlie Crist is not gay and things all over her website that are just awful.

00:10:30.000 And Politico even had a story that said, MSNBC stays silent as Joy Reed comes under more scrutiny.

00:10:36.000 She also said horrendous things about the state of Israel, where Joy Reed, the MSNBC host, criticized Jews and Ariel Sharon in old blog posts.

00:10:48.000 She even defended Mahmoud Ahmadi Mijad, where she said, Iran's president, to my knowledge, hasn't said he wants to destroy America.

00:10:56.000 It's amazing. 0.96

00:10:57.000 Of course he says he says it all the time.

00:10:59.000 And then Reed asked, how does the modern Jewish teen spend her bat mitzvah?

00:11:03.000 Reid asked, according to screenshots obtained by the Daily Caller.

00:11:06.000 Answering her own question, Reid wrote, why the Irv Ghati and his soon-be rudderless label icons, Ashanti and Jarul, plus Amaron, about half a million dollars of your parents of cash, that's how.

00:11:18.000 And then she said, oh, and you used the night to launch your own clothing line too?

00:11:22.000 Bling bling.

00:11:23.000 Of course, playing into dangerous anti-Semitic stereotypes.

00:11:28.000 She continued by saying, for Israelis, the qualities that provoke dread and bleeding hearts like me clearly elicited a sense of security and stability, she wrote on January 6, 2006.

00:11:37.000 I've never been a friend of Ariel Sharon.

00:11:39.000 He remains, in my mind, a rather thuggish figure that's only leaked to Sabra and Shatila massacres, which by rights have driven him from public life.

00:11:48.000 And it goes on and on and on of this incredible anti-Semitic language by Joy Reed.

00:11:54.000 And of course, she gets away with it. 0.99

00:11:56.000 And MSNBC host, Joy Reed, said, Akadima Jad was right. 0.99

00:12:00.000 Israel shouldn't exist. 0.88

00:12:02.000 Joy Reed slammed the established of Israel, said Irene's Akadima Jad was right in denunciations of the Jewish state. 0.99

00:12:09.000 Yeah, pretty mainstream opinion. 0.77

00:12:11.000 And yet she still has a job. 0.99

00:12:12.000 Not only does she still have a job, she has a primetime job on MSNBC.

00:12:17.000 And we're just supposed to take that seriously because the left always has each other's back. 0.96

00:12:21.000 And then she claims that her blog was actually hacked. 0.76

00:12:25.000 She claims that the blog was hacked by people that wanted to make her look bad. 0.88

00:12:31.000 And it's just incredible hypocrisy.

00:12:34.000 You look at how the right is judged for things sometimes they don't say, but just people around them say.

00:12:41.000 And you look at how people on the left are willing to do whatever they want to do and never held accountable.

00:12:46.000 So that's one of the lessons.

00:12:47.000 We have to have each other's back more.

00:12:49.000 We have to defend each other a lot more.

00:12:52.000 Because if we are serious about the culture war that we are in right now, if we are serious about the stakes of the future of America, there are not many courageous allies out there.

00:13:03.000 We have gone through in great detail how a vast majority of people in the Senate and House Republican establishment have just decided to completely set this one out.

00:13:13.000 Future of America at stake?

00:13:14.000 Not for me.

00:13:16.000 Future of America at stake?

00:13:17.000 Not something I really want to get engaged with.

00:13:19.000 Not something that I care that much about.

00:13:22.000 So what if people say America is racist, bigoted, and awful?

00:13:26.000 Not for me to get engaged with.

00:13:29.000 Whether you're working from home or working on your fitness, you want to know what you're listening to, to be what you're actually listening to, not what your roommates, your neighbors, or someone making trouble around you is listening to.

00:13:41.000 Everyone needs a great pair of wireless earbuds.

00:13:43.000 But before you go dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars on a pair, you need to check out the wireless earbuds from Raycon.

00:13:49.000 You already know Raycon earbuds start about half the price of other premium wireless earbuds on the market and that they sound just as amazing as the other top audio brands that you know.

00:13:57.000 Their newest model, the Everyday E25 earbuds, are the best ones yet with six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, more compact design that gives you a nice noise-isolating fit.

00:14:06.000 Raycon's wireless earbuds are so comfortable, perfect for conference calls, and binging on podcasts.

00:14:10.000 Unlike some other wireless options, Raycon earbuds are both stylish and discreet with no dangling wires or stems to distract anyone during video calls.

00:14:19.000 You've heard me talk about how the company was co-founded by Ray J and celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Cardi B, and so many more.

00:14:25.000 They're all obsessed with Raycon, so pick up a pair and see what the hype is all about.

00:14:39.000 And that segues perfectly to something that has been bothering me all day.

00:14:44.000 The Wall Street Journal came out with a poll that asked, Americans think America is a racist country?

00:14:50.000 I said this.

00:14:50.000 Question mark.

00:14:51.000 Voters in growing numbers believe that black and Hispanic Americans are discriminated against.

00:14:56.000 And a majority of 56% hold the view that American society is racist, a new Wall Street Journal NBC poll finds.

00:15:03.000 So there's two lessons from this as well.

00:15:06.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, which is not exactly the Huffington Post, 56% of Americans believe American society is racist.

00:15:14.000 So lesson number one, people will believe what they're told.

00:15:18.000 Unquestionably. 0.97

00:15:19.000 Sure, America's racist. 0.86

00:15:20.000 You're right, I forgot.

00:15:22.000 Now I believe that.

00:15:23.000 And there's another lesson.

00:15:27.000 There's another takeaway from this that I'll get to in one second.

00:15:29.000 There's actually three really important takeaways.

00:15:31.000 And the first of which is that people will just, whatever you tell them, people will take at face value. 0.86

00:15:37.000 Sure, America's racist.

00:15:38.000 I won't even question it.

00:15:39.000 I won't even challenge it.

00:15:40.000 That's a really dangerous sign for where our country is going.

00:15:44.000 If people are unwilling to question, to push back up against activist media narratives, against things that are just so incredibly fake and wrong and insidious, of course American society is not racist.

00:15:57.000 It's actually Orwellian.

00:15:58.000 It's the exact opposite.

00:16:00.000 It's not even a lie.

00:16:01.000 It's doublespeak.

00:16:02.000 We are the least racist country ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:16:06.000 We're the most decent country.

00:16:07.000 If we're so racist, why is it that 2 million people have legally immigrated from Africa since the 1980s, more so than ever came here as slaves?

00:16:18.000 If we're so incredibly racist, why is it that the caravan went north for America and not south for Venezuela? 0.99

00:16:24.000 Why is it that tens of millions of people that are black and brown skin color want to come into our country?

00:16:29.000 Why do we have this hyperfixation on race at all in the first place? 0.98

00:16:32.000 Mostly, because the left knows that if they can divide us just based on skin color, they can be in perpetual political power.

00:16:39.000 They know that if they are able to turn people against each other just based on the melanin in their skin, then they are going to be able to assume almost an autocratic control over our country.

00:16:51.000 For good reasons, we have taught our children the worst thing that you could possibly be called is a racist.

00:16:58.000 The worst thing that you can be accused of is racism.

00:17:02.000 And because of that, I think we have done a good job of compensating for any sort of prejudices that are built into the human spirit or the human psyche.

00:17:12.000 I think we actually have done a really good job of this as a country.

00:17:15.000 I think we are so incredibly decent and we've gone out of our way to try to not be racist.

00:17:20.000 You have to go out of your way to try to find that form of racism.

00:17:24.000 And with that being said, there, of course, are individual racists all across America.

00:17:30.000 But is American society racist? 0.95

00:17:33.000 I mean, that is such nonsense. 0.98

00:17:34.000 It's balderdash. 1.00

00:17:35.000 It's rubbish. 1.00

00:17:37.000 And it's Orwellian. 0.99

00:17:38.000 We've talked about what it means to have something be Orwellian.

00:17:42.000 And if you're tuning into this episode, you didn't listen to the last couple.

00:17:45.000 It's George Orwell, which was a famous author who wrote Animal Farm and also 1984, where something is not just untrue, it is the opposite of the truth.

00:17:54.000 It is incredibly Orwellian, to use that description.

00:18:01.000 And so that's the number one lesson, is that people will believe what they are told.

00:18:06.000 The second lesson is this, is that this is what happens when Republicans don't fight.

00:18:12.000 This is what happens when Senate leadership and House leadership all of a sudden start to run to the hills and start to agree that we should take down all these statues and we should rename these bases.

00:18:23.000 And, oh, you're so right.

00:18:25.000 Because an evil cop did something immoral in Minnesota, that means that we should rename a sports team.

00:18:32.000 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

00:18:34.000 Now, mind you, one incident that played to the emotions of the American people, not the logic or the factual nature or historical basis of American psyche, one incident in Minnesota, an evil police officer, which we still do not know if that was racially motivated because they had a relational past.

00:18:54.000 They've known each other for years.

00:18:56.000 And so the motive is TBD.

00:18:58.000 We don't know that Derek Chauvin, what he did, which was evil, was because George Floyd was black.

00:19:05.000 In fact, if you are imparting that on the situation, you yourself might be trying to find racism where it might not exist.

00:19:11.000 So that one video that has probably been seen hundreds of millions of times just by Americans and on repeat on cable television in perpetuity triggered this entire movement of arson and destruction and American hatred and statues being pulled down and the fabric of our country being torn apart and our history being deleted daily and continually.

00:19:36.000 And so then an opportunity arose when they started to attack our country.

00:19:40.000 So then the cultural arsonists went after America was never great.

00:19:44.000 America's an awful country. 1.00

00:19:45.000 Racist, bigoted, homophobic, all these awful things. 0.95

00:19:48.000 And instead of fighting for truth, instead of saying declaratively that the Republican Party is the party that passed the 13th, the 14th Amendment, women's suffrage, passed the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, has always been on the side of anti-slavery since the founding of the Republican Party in 1864 in RIPE in Wisconsin.

00:20:05.000 Instead of speaking clearly about how our country was founded on freedom and the abolition of slavery, that the first state to abolish slavery was Vermont in 1777, and that Martin Luther King said the abolition of slavery was a promissory note fulfilling the promise of the Declaration of Independence, instead of articulating that, our Republican leadership decided to actually endorse the BLM movement.

00:20:27.000 See, when you have someone like Senator Mike Braun, who, in all fairness, because of pressure from people like me and Tucker Carlson and many others, called him out for it, he has retreated and redacted his statement, even though he doubled down on it at first, and then he realized that he was actually endorsing a bitter Marxist organization that wanted to destroy the fabric of our country. 0.60

00:20:49.000 And I've done this before in the program, but it's very important because people like Senator Mike Braun that decided to pander to BLM Inc., this is how you get a poll result like this.

00:21:00.000 This is how you get a poll result, where a majority of the country thinks you actually live in an awful country. 0.59

00:21:05.000 That's basically what the poll is saying.

00:21:07.000 Do you think that our country is awful?

00:21:09.000 Yes or no?

00:21:10.000 And 56% of Americans believe American society is racist.

00:21:15.000 So they believe that 56% of our society is awful.

00:21:19.000 And it's because, for the second takeaway from this, this is what happens when people like Senator Mike Braun contribute to the lie and don't fight, play tape. 0.55

00:21:28.000 You support the Black Lives Matter movement.

00:21:33.000 I support that movement because it's addressing an inequity that has not been solved from a grassroots level.

00:21:44.000 And so then the silence from Republicans, and including black Republicans that have been running for office, has been incredible.

00:21:52.000 And I do want to comment and compliment on Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum.

00:21:55.000 We had both of them on our program in the last month and a half, and they've been incredible.

00:22:00.000 Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum have been absolutely phenomenal in a variety of different ways articulating the truth.

00:22:07.000 I wish the Republican Party had one one-hundredth of the courage that both of those black leaders and black patriots have for our country.

00:22:16.000 And they've been talking about what is moral and what is good and what is true in the world.

00:22:20.000 And instead, we have been faced with a barrage of anti-Americanism that has bubbled up from the bottom.

00:22:29.000 And the third takeaway from this poll that 56% hold a view that American society is racist, which is just the same as saying 56% of our society think American society is awful, that our country is awful.

00:22:41.000 The third takeaway is this.

00:22:42.000 This is not sustainable.

00:22:44.000 It's just not.

00:22:45.000 You cannot survive as a country in its current form and fashion that respects natural rights, private property, economic freedom, free speech and the Constitution, American exceptionalism.

00:22:56.000 If 56% of your country thinks you're awful, if 56% of American society thinks that we are racist, then my goodness.

00:23:04.000 Now, it's amazing.

00:23:05.000 What I would love to have seen in this poll is, do you think American society is racist?

00:23:14.000 Yes, 56%.

00:23:16.000 Do you think you're a racist?

00:23:18.000 Everyone would say, no.

00:23:19.000 No, I'm not a racist.

00:23:20.000 Are you kidding me?

00:23:21.000 Me?

00:23:22.000 Racist?

00:23:23.000 No way.

00:23:24.000 Third question.

00:23:25.000 Do you know someone who is racist?

00:23:27.000 Or do you know someone that is bitterly racist?

00:23:30.000 Probably 50-50 would say yes.

00:23:32.000 Fourth, what are you doing about that?

00:23:35.000 Nothing.

00:23:36.000 So the point is this, is that what this goes to show is that most of the people that responded to this poll are not actually answering on something that they are feeling or experiencing or going through, but instead what they see based on the media and the propaganda machine and what they are told to believe.

00:23:56.000 It's not actually something that is happening to them.

00:23:59.000 It is something that they are being told to react to that is happening to them.

00:24:04.000 You go further into the poll, it said, an overwhelming majority of Democrats, 90%, said black people are discriminated against without any sort of evidence at all whatsoever.

00:24:13.000 Black people are not being discriminated against in this country systemically, maybe individually.

00:24:17.000 And white people are being discriminated against individually, but not systemic.

00:24:21.000 Actually, white people are being discriminated against systemically.

00:24:23.000 It's called affirmative action.

00:24:24.000 It's called anti-white racism.

00:24:26.000 And 26% of Republicans agreed.

00:24:28.000 A similarly large share of Democrats, 82%, believe all of American society is racist, held by a view by 30% of Republicans.

00:24:36.000 So just so you're clear, we're clear.

00:24:38.000 30% of Republicans polled think America is awful.

00:24:43.000 82% of Democrats believe America is awful.

00:24:49.000 So that's the translation here.

00:24:51.000 Democrats think America is awful.

00:24:53.000 And 30% of the Republican Party thinks we're awful.

00:24:56.000 This goes back to my three points.

00:24:58.000 People believe what they are told.

00:25:01.000 When Republicans don't fight and they don't say this is a lie, it multiplies.

00:25:05.000 It goes back to one of the, we have a couple things that we repeat here on the Charlie Kirk show because repetition is the soul of memory.

00:25:12.000 Problems that are not confronted multiply.

00:25:15.000 Lies that don't go challenged metastasize.

00:25:20.000 So if you just allow something that is a complete and total fabrication, something that is an untruth, that is a form of Orwellian doublespeak, where it's not just something that is a lie, but it is the opposite of the truth, which is not a lie.

00:25:36.000 An opposite of the truth is something so completely different and even more dangerous than lies.

00:25:42.000 And of course, the opposite of a truth is a form of a lie, but sometimes lies can just be within a couple degrees of the truth, where this is the exact opposite.

00:25:50.000 It's as far away from the truth as you could possibly get.

00:25:54.000 And if you don't confront it, Republicans, then all of a sudden you're complicit with it.

00:26:00.000 And if you're listening to this podcast and you are as saddened and you are as disturbed by this poll, by the Wall Street Journal, as I am, then what are you going to do about it?

00:26:10.000 And maybe it's 10 people in your life that you know probably would have answered affirmatively that America was a racist country.

00:26:18.000 Go find those 10 people and communicate to them clearly that America is the most decent, benevolent, generous country ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:26:27.000 And we have provided many sources of factual information to back that up here on this podcast, and we will continue to do that.

00:26:32.000 On Sunday, we had a nearly two-hour episode where we dove into it historically and morally and philosophically.

00:26:38.000 It's called the 1619 Lie, Systemic Racism Debunked.

00:26:42.000 I encourage you to check it out.

00:26:44.000 It's one of my favorite episodes I ever did with Congressman Bob McEwen and Pastor Rob McCoy.

00:26:49.000 If you yourself are not fighting the lies or the untruth or the doublespeak, then you're participating in it.

00:26:57.000 You might be complicit with the downfall and the destruction of America.

00:27:03.000 Look, there's a cultural shift that is happening in the American psyche.

00:27:07.000 And again, I don't mean to be too alarmist here.

00:27:10.000 I'm very careful to be fact-driven and logically based and someone who cares a lot about taking things as in a very, in a much more bigger, more macro picture.

00:27:21.000 I'm not an alarmist, but I'm going to be as honest as I can with you always because you listen so intently on what we communicate.

00:27:30.000 This is not sustainable.

00:27:31.000 Can't have a country that sustains itself when 56% of your country thinks you're awful.

00:27:38.000 This is how you get a Vladimir Lenin.

00:27:40.000 This is how you get Fidel Castro.

00:27:42.000 And I don't mean it in the sense that they're all of a sudden going to come and open up death camps immediately, but I am going to say that a socialist-minded demagogue who now communicates to that 56% of the American population and says, hey, America's racist.

00:27:58.000 Elect me and I'm going to help heal those wounds.

00:28:01.000 Yeah, all of a sudden it becomes really politically popular.

00:28:03.000 And this is one of the biggest lies of the Republican establishment circles.

00:28:07.000 They say, well, we can't fight in the cultural landscape.

00:28:10.000 We can't engage on it.

00:28:11.000 Well, when you don't, first of all, you can and you should.

00:28:13.000 In fact, I think it's more important for lawmakers to engage in the cultural fights than just in the legislative fights.

00:28:19.000 I think that corporate tax policy means a lot less than this poll.

00:28:24.000 I think this poll is way more concerning than the fact that we had a 38% corporate tax rate back in 2016.

00:28:31.000 In fact, I think that it's a big deal that we had a high corporate tax rate.

00:28:34.000 I think that it restricted liberty and restricted freedom.

00:28:37.000 But this is an enormously bigger deal than having a high corporate tax rate.

00:28:42.000 This poll right here, if true, and again, we know polls probably are questionable, so we always have to say that who knows how accurate it is, but let's pretend it's pretty much accurate.

00:28:51.000 If this was 40% of the country believes that we are racist, not 56, it would be an incredibly dangerous sign.

00:29:01.000 56% of the country, a majority of the country, we know that a majority of young people, 60 to 70% of young people think that American society is racist, not offering any sort of evidence to show that America is racist.

00:29:13.000 There is no evidence at all, zero, none whatsoever, to show that America is systemically racist.

00:29:17.000 And if you just say, well, black people don't do as well, well, maybe there's other reasons black people aren't doing as well that doesn't have to do with racism.

00:29:24.000 Maybe it's the fact that 77% of black children are born without fathers in the home. 0.92

00:29:29.000 Maybe it's because the black community is disproportionately connected to government programs.

00:29:38.000 The left loves to play everything as racist. 0.60

00:29:40.000 And there are other reasons why people fall behind besides racism, like the destruction of the nuclear family, the growth of government and the infringement on our liberties and freedoms, the decline in attending church across our country, the deindustrialization of our American middle class and our inner cities, incentivizing poor behavior and not acknowledging or rewarding good behavior.

00:30:04.000 And for those of us that have been warning you for about a month and a half now that this is not going to end well, we're correct.

00:30:12.000 If you would have asked this question back in March, and it'd actually be really interesting to look at previous polling here.

00:30:17.000 I'm going to ask our team to try to pull up some previous polling from earlier in the year or from last year.

00:30:22.000 Do you think American society is racist?

00:30:25.000 I want to just make sure I get the wording of this poll correctly.

00:30:27.000 But it said this, American society is racist.

00:30:30.000 Hold the view that American society is racist. 0.61

00:30:32.000 Yeah, that's incredible.

00:30:34.000 56%.

00:30:35.000 I guarantee that number has gone up dramatically in the last month and a half, all because of the outrage from a singular police officer and three police officers that did nothing in Minnesota.

00:30:46.000 All because of that.

00:30:48.000 It's not because of anything material or new evidence that has been submitted.

00:30:53.000 And this goes to the pathology of our country, which is very dangerous, where we have become so emotive, so driven away from facts and into feelings.

00:31:06.000 We have basically retreated from the entire landscape of looking at things analytically. 1.00

00:31:11.000 Like, oh, if we are so racist, logically, why is it that tens of millions of people that are black and brown skinned want to come into our country?

00:31:19.000 Why is it that there's been 2 million people that have legally immigrated here from Africa? 0.89

00:31:24.000 That's kind of funny. 0.76

00:31:25.000 And so this poll, If true, or even remotely true, within the margin of error, is signed for national dissolution, or as Ben Shapiro correctly calls it, disintegration.

00:31:41.000 It is.

00:31:43.000 Because if you go through this decision-making process, highly logical, one of the worst things that you can call somebody is a racist.

00:31:53.000 So, just to put it in context of how troubling this poll is, according to Gallup, back in 2008, 70% of non-Hispanic whites said 70% said that race relations were very good in our country.

00:32:08.000 51% of blacks, I'm sorry, 61% of blacks in 2008 said race relations were very good.

00:32:14.000 How about 2013?

00:32:16.000 72% of non-Hispanic whites said race relations were very good or somewhat good, whereas 66% of blacks said race relations were very good.

00:32:26.000 So, wait, what happened between 2013 and now?

00:32:29.000 Oh, wait, Donald Trump became president, and all of a sudden we became a racist country, really?

00:32:34.000 So, it declined to now the opposite, where 44%, 44%, according to this poll, said that America is racist.

00:32:45.000 It was as high as the moving average between 72% for non-Hispanic whites and 66%.

00:32:50.000 So, let's just say, for argument's sake, 68%. 0.77

00:32:53.000 We'll handicap it more in the direction of not so good to 44%, a 20-point decline from a decent country to an indecent country.

00:33:02.000 That's according to Gallup.

00:33:04.000 So, we have never seen this kind of decline.

00:33:07.000 We haven't.

00:33:08.000 And mind you, one of the reasons that this is not sustainable is if you go through this decision-making matrix, right?

00:33:17.000 One of the worst things you can call somebody is a racist for good reason.

00:33:23.000 If you are called that, you want to atone and you want to change the way you are.

00:33:28.000 You don't want to be called that any longer.

00:33:30.000 No different if your country is called that.

00:33:34.000 So, if your country believes themselves that they are awful, then what's to say they don't want to have a revolution next?

00:33:43.000 And not the type of revolution that will end well, a revolution the likes of which somewhere in Cuba, China, Venezuela, or Russia.

00:33:50.000 I'm watching this video of 50 police officers be assaulted in the streets of Chicago.

00:33:55.000 If you haven't seen this video, it's absolutely maddening and frustrating and sickening.

00:34:02.000 I see statues being torn down.

00:34:04.000 I see our history being deleted.

00:34:06.000 And a lot of it stems from our university system and our culture, and also from the decline of the American middle class where they don't feel that they are invested in the very country that they live in.

00:34:16.000 Tomorrow, we're going to dive into this.

00:34:17.000 Was the cultural aspect of this poll.

00:34:20.000 I had to address this poll and around it, and also how the Democrat media mob is trying to come for those of us that fight.

00:34:26.000 And so, I want to thank those of you that support us at charliekirk.com/slash support, charliekirk.com/slash support.
