00:02:58.000The Democrat media mob is coming for the fighters.
00:03:02.000We'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.
00:03:16.000One of the people that has been fighting effectively and has been standing for truth is Tucker Carlson.
00:03:21.000Recently, 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.
00:03:35.000Last week, the New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live.
00:03:40.000As a matter of journalism, there is no conceivable justification for a story like that.
00:03:44.000The paper is not alleging we've done anything wrong, and we haven't.
00:03:47.000We pay our taxes, we like our neighbors, we've never had a dispute with anyone.
00:03:52.000So why is the New York Times doing a story on the location of my family's house?
00:05:03.000If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote, they won't consider it collateral damage.
00:05:08.000They know it's the whole point of the exercise to inflict pain on our family, to terrorize us, to control what we say.
00:05:15.000I have dealt with reporters all throughout this activist media community.
00:05:20.000There are some people that just do their job and they're kind of not worth mentioning.
00:05:26.000And there are some awful people that work for some of these institutions that are activist-driven and want to destroy your life.
00:05:33.000I'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.
00:05:42.000So understand, they're coming after me.
00:05:47.000And 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.
00:06:03.000Now, 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.
00:06:20.000Now, does the New York Times feel any remorse?
00:06:26.000Because 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.
00:06:35.000And 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.
00:06:51.000This 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.
00:07:31.000This was a private property where BLM Inc. terrorists decide to just bulldoze down a gate and go terrorize someone that they disagree with.
00:07:42.000Now, the McCloskeys saw the carnage that these type of mobs created in cities across the country.
00:07:47.000And mind you, they called the police and the police did nothing.
00:07:50.000The police decided just to stay out of this one.
00:07:53.000And so they did what any decent American would do, arm themselves and try to defend their property.
00:08:00.000Now, mind you, they never fired their weapon.
00:08:02.000Mind you, they never used their weapon.
00:08:04.000And as soon as they brought out their weapons, the mob quickly disappeared.
00:08:10.000And 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.
00:08:26.000He 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.
00:08:35.000You see, the left is an endless swarm trying to personally and categorically destroy all of us.
00:08:42.000And if you think that, oh, they're never going to come after me, that they'll eat me last, you're wrong.
00:08:49.000They will find every conservative across every single high school, college, and middle school.
00:08:54.000They 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.
00:09:00.000They'll try to kick you out of fraternities and sororities.
00:09:14.000We have to not take these activist media hit pieces against one another seriously at all.
00:09:20.000We 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.
00:09:28.000But 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.
00:09:42.000You don't join the tidal wave of repudiation.
00:09:45.000Because you think the left would do that when we go after one of their own people?
00:10:06.000Now, there have been an incredible amount of research done of how Joy Reed was a 9-11 truther.
00:10:12.000She 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.
00:10:21.000This 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.
00:10:30.000And Politico even had a story that said, MSNBC stays silent as Joy Reed comes under more scrutiny.
00:10:36.000She also said horrendous things about the state of Israel, where Joy Reed, the MSNBC host, criticized Jews and Ariel Sharon in old blog posts.
00:10:48.000She even defended Mahmoud Ahmadi Mijad, where she said, Iran's president, to my knowledge, hasn't said he wants to destroy America.
00:10:57.000Of course he says he says it all the time.
00:10:59.000And then Reed asked, how does the modern Jewish teen spend her bat mitzvah?
00:11:03.000Reid asked, according to screenshots obtained by the Daily Caller.
00:11:06.000Answering 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.
00:11:18.000And then she said, oh, and you used the night to launch your own clothing line too?
00:11:23.000Of course, playing into dangerous anti-Semitic stereotypes.
00:11:28.000She 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.
00:11:37.000I've never been a friend of Ariel Sharon.
00:11:39.000He 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.
00:11:48.000And it goes on and on and on of this incredible anti-Semitic language by Joy Reed.
00:12:47.000We have to have each other's back more.
00:12:49.000We have to defend each other a lot more.
00:12:52.000Because 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.
00:13:03.000We 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.
00:13:29.000Whether 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.
00:13:41.000Everyone needs a great pair of wireless earbuds.
00:13:43.000But before you go dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars on a pair, you need to check out the wireless earbuds from Raycon.
00:13:49.000You 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.
00:13:57.000Their 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.
00:14:06.000Raycon's wireless earbuds are so comfortable, perfect for conference calls, and binging on podcasts.
00:14:10.000Unlike some other wireless options, Raycon earbuds are both stylish and discreet with no dangling wires or stems to distract anyone during video calls.
00:14:19.000You'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.
00:14:25.000They're all obsessed with Raycon, so pick up a pair and see what the hype is all about.
00:14:28.000Go right now to buyraycon.com slash Kirk, get 15% off your order, buyraycon.com slash Kirk.
00:15:40.000That's a really dangerous sign for where our country is going.
00:15:44.000If 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.
00:16:07.000If 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?
00:16:18.000If we're so incredibly racist, why is it that the caravan went north for America and not south for Venezuela?
00:16:24.000Why is it that tens of millions of people that are black and brown skin color want to come into our country?
00:16:29.000Why do we have this hyperfixation on race at all in the first place?
00:16:32.000Mostly, because the left knows that if they can divide us just based on skin color, they can be in perpetual political power.
00:16:39.000They 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.
00:16:51.000For good reasons, we have taught our children the worst thing that you could possibly be called is a racist.
00:16:58.000The worst thing that you can be accused of is racism.
00:17:02.000And 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.
00:17:12.000I think we actually have done a really good job of this as a country.
00:17:15.000I think we are so incredibly decent and we've gone out of our way to try to not be racist.
00:17:20.000You have to go out of your way to try to find that form of racism.
00:17:24.000And with that being said, there, of course, are individual racists all across America.
00:17:38.000We've talked about what it means to have something be Orwellian.
00:17:42.000And if you're tuning into this episode, you didn't listen to the last couple.
00:17:45.000It'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.
00:17:54.000It is incredibly Orwellian, to use that description.
00:18:01.000And so that's the number one lesson, is that people will believe what they are told.
00:18:06.000The second lesson is this, is that this is what happens when Republicans don't fight.
00:18:12.000This 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.
00:18:34.000Now, 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.
00:18:58.000We don't know that Derek Chauvin, what he did, which was evil, was because George Floyd was black.
00:19:05.000In fact, if you are imparting that on the situation, you yourself might be trying to find racism where it might not exist.
00:19:11.000So 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.
00:19:36.000And so then an opportunity arose when they started to attack our country.
00:19:40.000So then the cultural arsonists went after America was never great.
00:19:45.000Racist, bigoted, homophobic, all these awful things.
00:19:48.000And 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.
00:20:05.000Instead 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.
00:20:27.000See, 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.
00:20:49.000And 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.
00:21:00.000This is how you get a poll result, where a majority of the country thinks you actually live in an awful country.
00:21:05.000That's basically what the poll is saying.
00:21:07.000Do you think that our country is awful?
00:21:10.000And 56% of Americans believe American society is racist.
00:21:15.000So they believe that 56% of our society is awful.
00:21:19.000And 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.
00:21:28.000You support the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:21:33.000I support that movement because it's addressing an inequity that has not been solved from a grassroots level.
00:21:44.000And so then the silence from Republicans, and including black Republicans that have been running for office, has been incredible.
00:21:52.000And I do want to comment and compliment on Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum.
00:21:55.000We had both of them on our program in the last month and a half, and they've been incredible.
00:22:00.000Candace Owens and Brandon Tatum have been absolutely phenomenal in a variety of different ways articulating the truth.
00:22:07.000I wish the Republican Party had one one-hundredth of the courage that both of those black leaders and black patriots have for our country.
00:22:16.000And they've been talking about what is moral and what is good and what is true in the world.
00:22:20.000And instead, we have been faced with a barrage of anti-Americanism that has bubbled up from the bottom.
00:22:29.000And 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.
00:22:45.000You 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.
00:22:56.000If 56% of your country thinks you're awful, if 56% of American society thinks that we are racist, then my goodness.
00:23:36.000So 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.
00:23:56.000It's not actually something that is happening to them.
00:23:59.000It is something that they are being told to react to that is happening to them.
00:24:04.000You 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.
00:24:13.000Black people are not being discriminated against in this country systemically, maybe individually.
00:24:17.000And white people are being discriminated against individually, but not systemic.
00:24:21.000Actually, white people are being discriminated against systemically.
00:25:01.000When Republicans don't fight and they don't say this is a lie, it multiplies.
00:25:05.000It 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.
00:25:12.000Problems that are not confronted multiply.
00:25:15.000Lies that don't go challenged metastasize.
00:25:20.000So 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.
00:25:36.000An opposite of the truth is something so completely different and even more dangerous than lies.
00:25:42.000And 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.
00:25:50.000It's as far away from the truth as you could possibly get.
00:25:54.000And if you don't confront it, Republicans, then all of a sudden you're complicit with it.
00:26:00.000And 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?
00:26:10.000And maybe it's 10 people in your life that you know probably would have answered affirmatively that America was a racist country.
00:26:18.000Go 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.
00:26:27.000And we have provided many sources of factual information to back that up here on this podcast, and we will continue to do that.
00:26:32.000On Sunday, we had a nearly two-hour episode where we dove into it historically and morally and philosophically.
00:26:38.000It's called the 1619 Lie, Systemic Racism Debunked.
00:26:44.000It's one of my favorite episodes I ever did with Congressman Bob McEwen and Pastor Rob McCoy.
00:26:49.000If you yourself are not fighting the lies or the untruth or the doublespeak, then you're participating in it.
00:26:57.000You might be complicit with the downfall and the destruction of America.
00:27:03.000Look, there's a cultural shift that is happening in the American psyche.
00:27:07.000And again, I don't mean to be too alarmist here.
00:27:10.000I'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.
00:27:21.000I'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.
00:27:42.000And 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.
00:27:58.000Elect me and I'm going to help heal those wounds.
00:28:01.000Yeah, all of a sudden it becomes really politically popular.
00:28:03.000And this is one of the biggest lies of the Republican establishment circles.
00:28:07.000They say, well, we can't fight in the cultural landscape.
00:28:11.000Well, when you don't, first of all, you can and you should.
00:28:13.000In fact, I think it's more important for lawmakers to engage in the cultural fights than just in the legislative fights.
00:28:19.000I think that corporate tax policy means a lot less than this poll.
00:28:24.000I think this poll is way more concerning than the fact that we had a 38% corporate tax rate back in 2016.
00:28:31.000In fact, I think that it's a big deal that we had a high corporate tax rate.
00:28:34.000I think that it restricted liberty and restricted freedom.
00:28:37.000But this is an enormously bigger deal than having a high corporate tax rate.
00:28:42.000This 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.
00:28:51.000If this was 40% of the country believes that we are racist, not 56, it would be an incredibly dangerous sign.
00:29:01.00056% 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.
00:29:13.000There is no evidence at all, zero, none whatsoever, to show that America is systemically racist.
00:29:17.000And 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.
00:29:24.000Maybe it's the fact that 77% of black children are born without fathers in the home.
00:29:29.000Maybe it's because the black community is disproportionately connected to government programs.
00:29:38.000The left loves to play everything as racist.
00:29:40.000And 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.
00:30:04.000And 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.
00:30:12.000If you would have asked this question back in March, and it'd actually be really interesting to look at previous polling here.
00:30:17.000I'm going to ask our team to try to pull up some previous polling from earlier in the year or from last year.
00:30:22.000Do you think American society is racist?
00:30:25.000I want to just make sure I get the wording of this poll correctly.
00:30:27.000But it said this, American society is racist.
00:30:30.000Hold the view that American society is racist.
00:30:35.000I 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.
00:30:48.000It's not because of anything material or new evidence that has been submitted.
00:30:53.000And 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.
00:31:06.000We have basically retreated from the entire landscape of looking at things analytically.
00:31:11.000Like, 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?
00:31:19.000Why is it that there's been 2 million people that have legally immigrated here from Africa?
00:31:25.000And 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.
00:31:43.000Because if you go through this decision-making process, highly logical, one of the worst things that you can call somebody is a racist.
00:31:53.000So, 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.
00:32:08.00051% of blacks, I'm sorry, 61% of blacks in 2008 said race relations were very good.
00:34:06.000And 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.
00:34:16.000Tomorrow, we're going to dive into this.
00:34:20.000I 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.
00:34:26.000And so, I want to thank those of you that support us at charliekirk.com/slash support, charliekirk.com/slash support.
