00:00:44.000That is your portal to help support us.
00:00:47.000Our team, our researchers, our editors, the travel costs, everything around the production of the Charlie Kirk show.
00:00:54.000You know, with all the cancellation and all the bad guys coming after people that are trying to tell the truth, when you support us at charliekirk.com slash support, you are saying no to cancel culture.
00:01:04.000You are saying no to the digital assassins.
00:01:51.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:59.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:14.000Truth is, I know millions of people, in fact, that over 100 million people that are struggling with some kind of pain, whether it knee pain, back pain, joint pain, and exercise or getting older or whatever it might be.
00:02:24.000I'm so impressed with the team at Relief Factor.
00:02:52.000It comes from this idea that we must have this onward march through the institutions.
00:03:00.000There's been a couple news items lately that have been confirmation of the warnings that those of us that are conservatives have been making.
00:03:08.000In essence, progressivism in the political sense is a rejection of human nature.
00:03:14.000You see, progressives, in its purest sense, they must create a pattern of deconstruction and undermine things that work and things that are permanent.
00:03:25.000You might have saw this story in the last couple of days.
00:03:28.000It says that Laurel Hubbard is the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics.
00:03:33.000So Laurel Hubbard, who is a man who thinks that he is a woman, has competed in men's events in the past.
00:03:42.000Will become the first transgender competitor to qualify to be on the country's weightlifting team for Tokyo in 2020.
00:03:51.000Laurel Hubbard said, I am grateful and humbled by the kindness and support that has been given to me by so many New Zealanders.
00:03:58.000Laurel Hubbard, 43, said in a statement according to the BBC.
00:04:02.000The report continued to point out that in 2015, the International Olympic Committee changed its rules to allow transgender athletes to compete as long as their testosterone level is below a certain level.
00:04:16.000Chelsea Wolf, who is one of, is a man who thinks, again, that he is a woman to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, potentially United States women's BMX writing.
00:04:32.000Now, it's bad enough that this person wants to compete against other women as a man, but then if he were to win, he said that if I win, I will burn the American flag on the podium.
00:04:45.000That's right, I will burn the American flag on the podium.
00:04:49.000You see, the agenda of decay that is at work here is a campaign to corrode the composition of our society.
00:04:57.000Now, many people ask the question, why?
00:05:00.000It's because they find the fabric of our society to be unjust.
00:05:06.000This idea of endless historical progress comes from Hegel and then was embraced by many other German historicists, actually started at John Hopkins University.
00:05:16.000And Woodrow Wilson was probably the first American president to want to wage war on the conservative constitutional founding of our country.
00:05:24.000You see, Wilson declared war on the founders and their moral ideas.
00:05:31.000He became president of Princeton University and then governor of New Jersey.
00:05:35.000And by doing so, he thought that human beings and humanity was a project.
00:05:41.000Progressivism believes that human beings are eventually perfectible.
00:05:46.000It really is this struggle of whether or not you believe Darwin or do you believe Newton?
00:05:50.000Sir Isaac Newton was, of course, a Christian, wrote more about biblical prophecy than he did even in the Principia Mathematica.
00:05:57.000But this idea of do you think humanity can't be perfected?
00:06:00.000Do you think that human beings are built or are made a certain way?
00:06:04.000You see, the founders and the framers thought that humanity was something that you cannot change, that there is a certain nature to human beings in the Declaration of Independence.
00:06:13.000That is best articulated as the laws of nature and of nature's God.
00:06:18.000You see, if you believe that humanity is perfectible or constantly evolving, then you would have no problem with a man who thinks he is a woman playing in this BMX competition, Chelsea Wolf.
00:06:31.000Chelsea Wolfe wrote on Instagram, quote, It's taking a bit to fully register that after so many years of work, we finally have the squad for the Olympics.
00:06:39.000And that after so much work and overcoming for so many obstacles, I'm qualified to represent the United States as an ultimate writer.
00:06:46.000You see, this man who is confused about who he is, thinks he's a woman, is not good enough to compete against men and is not even good enough to compete on the first team on the women's team.
00:06:56.000But you see, Chelsea Wolfe, I'm guessing that's not the birth name, they are nothing more than a vessel, and dare I say, an embodiment of the worst aspects of this corrosive agenda of American progressivism, which is if you think that there is an institution that is impenetrable, it is your right, it is your duty actually to try to infiltrate it and corrode it.
00:07:24.000And so this is a very, this is an important question that if you send a college to a university, they'll have an answer to this that is wrong, which is, do you think that human beings evolve from their natural state and therefore change their composition?
00:07:37.000Or do you instead observe how we are and then try to have human beings operate within a framework of laws and rules and order?
00:07:46.000And interestingly, some states have decided not to protect female sports.
00:07:51.000The governor of North Dakota, a Republican, decided to make a decision, Governor Bergenham, that women's sports are not worthy of protection.
00:07:58.000Not understanding that there's a much broader agenda at play here, which is it's an agenda of decay.
00:08:05.000Something that works, something that has order and rules must be protected and preserved, where the other side thinks it should be infiltrated and usurped.
00:08:17.000And a very simple question by those people that wish to corrode is, what is worth preserving?
00:08:25.000You see, the progressives, and as they call themselves, are anything but progressives.
00:08:30.000They say that we want advancement, when in reality, it's an agenda of discord, one of confusion and disunity.
00:08:38.000And it's best embodied by Chelsea Andrea Wolf saying that if you do not let me compete against women, because I think I'm a woman, even though I'm a man, then therefore you do not have empathy.
00:08:49.000Therefore, you do not have a heart for people like me.
00:08:53.000When in reality, it should be, hold on a second.
00:08:56.000We have a heart for the women that do not have the same sort of physical advantage that you have.
00:09:02.000And so Wolf continues to write that if she wins, not only she will not have gratitude for the nation, no, no, no, but she best embodies this by saying, I will burn the American flag if I win.
00:09:12.000That if I win this competition in the Tokyo Olympics, I will burn the American flag.
00:09:19.000And now, this agenda of decay, as we have said it, only stops when we are willing to endure the names they are inevitably going to call us, and we fight early and we preempt this.
00:09:32.000This transgender nonsense that's happening in the country is largely because we, those of us that believe in biological standards and eternal and divine truth, were afraid of the potential names they were going to call us.
00:09:47.000And now we see how it's actually impacting the rest of society.
00:09:50.000We're seeing that it does not just stop with this.
00:09:52.000It goes to, no, no, I'm going to blow up the American flag with dynamite.
00:09:59.000Do you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?
00:10:03.000It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.
00:10:09.000To really stop these people from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:10:15.000Think about all the times you've used the Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' home.
00:10:19.000Without ExpressVPN, every single site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.
00:10:25.000And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.
00:10:28.000What's more is your home internet provider, I'm talking about Comcast, AT ⁇ T, or whatever, can also see and record your browsing data.
00:10:35.000ExpressVPN is an application, it's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers so that your private online activity says just that, private.
00:10:45.000ExpressVPN works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.
00:10:49.000So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.

00:11:05.000I'm going to read just, this is hilarious.
00:11:09.000In Newsweek, it says, critics say Hubbard has an unfair advantage.
00:11:13.000We're talking about the man who thinks he's a woman in a weightlifting competition.
00:11:18.000But others have argued for more inclusion at the games.
00:11:23.000So if it's all about inclusion always, then why have any sort of age parameters?
00:11:27.000Why do we not have adults competing against 12-year-olds?
00:11:30.000Well, because inclusion, if inclusion is the ultimate priority, then why have any sort of discrimination at all based on age or based on sex?
00:11:39.000Belgium's Anna Venabeligian will likely compete against Hubbard and said her presence in Tokyo would be like, quote, a bad joke for women's competitors.
00:11:49.000But New Zealand's government and the country's top sporting body have backed her inclusion.
00:11:53.000BMX rider Chelsea Wolf will travel to the Tokyo Olympics with Team USA, making history as the first trans athlete to go to the Olympics on the U.S. roster.
00:12:02.000Wolf will only officially compete if one of the other two qualifying writers, Hannah Roberts and Paris Banegas, drop out.
00:12:08.000So this man who thinks he's a woman is not even good enough to make the team, despite him cheating.
00:12:14.000Fox News had some comments on this, a great segment on this.
00:12:18.000This Olympic athlete, Chelsea Wolfe, there's a Facebook post that has surfaced from the March of last year.
00:12:26.000She says, my goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a U.S. flag on the podium.
00:12:30.000This is what they focus on during the pandemic, hurting trans children.
00:12:35.000And then cut 30 is Fox's Carly Shimkiss continues to point out that winning a medal is not just about you, but your nation and national pride.
00:12:44.000And winning a medal is not just about you, it's about your country, representing your nation, national pride.
00:12:51.000I mean, think about that moment where you win and you are in the tallest podium and everybody in the country is looking at you representing them.
00:13:09.000It's a slap in the face to this country that actually affords her the ability to say those things without ramifications.
00:13:18.000With dynamite, he said, not she, he said.
00:13:22.000And this athlete, I guess, who's not good enough to compete against men, decides to change to be a woman and then can't even make the first team and then says to any sort of duty to their nation, if I win, I'm going to go burn the American flag with dynamite.
00:13:41.000The agenda is to corrode the composition of a working society.
00:13:45.000They find everything so unjust, anything that exists, they must attempt to infiltrate it.
00:13:52.000And so this really is the struggle against what is worthy of preservation, if anything.
00:13:58.000And those of us that actually see things at work, we have practical wisdom and prudence, and hopefully some form of a judgment, we must be unafraid to endure what any sort of names they will call us to say, no, you're not actually competing against women.
00:14:13.000Go try to compete against men if you still think you're a man.
00:14:17.000And if you think that humanity is some sort of ever-changing project, then this makes perfect sense for you.
00:14:27.000But for those of us that think that you're made in a certain way, then all of a sudden we must say there are certain things that should not change, that the cult of progress that wants to change things for the sake of changing them has had such an incredible track record of destruction in our country's history.
00:14:44.000And for any of you that might have young ladies in your life that are athletes, what kind of message does this send to them?
00:14:50.000You know, the left always says they stand for women's rights.
00:15:56.000Who's to say that a man who has muscle mass cannot instantaneously, has more muscle mass, change his identity to go compete against women?
00:16:05.000And Candace, with your question, I'm going to answer it in the following segment in one way.
00:16:09.000But if we do not challenge this in the courts or through our legislatures, which the governor of North Dakota decided not to do, there will be no such career for your daughters.
00:17:36.000He was a friend of Sir Francis Bacon, who, of course, invented the scientific method.
00:17:41.000And the founding fathers had a Newtonian view of the world.
00:17:45.000The framers of the Constitution believed that there were the laws of nature and nature's God.
00:17:49.000They said that in the Declaration of the Independence, it was built into the soul and the imprint of who we are.
00:17:56.000Now, the president, who is probably one of the least known presidents in American history, that was probably the worst philosophical president in American history, who's largely to blame for this kind of cult of progress that we're living through, is Woodrow Wilson.
00:18:09.000Now, Woodrow Wilson and Joe Biden have a lot in common.
00:18:12.000First of all, Woodrow Wilson never deserved to be president.
00:18:15.000He became president by accident, largely because of Teddy Roosevelt running against William Howard Taft in the election of 1912.
00:18:21.000Secondly, Woodrow Wilson wrote openly and rather eloquently, but in a very, very, I think, deceitful way.
00:18:32.000He declared war on the philosophical underpinnings of the American founding.
00:18:35.000You see, Woodrow Wilson believed that the American founding was outdated because they have not yet been enlightened with the teachings or the writings of Charles Darwin or Hegel or the historicist mind.
00:18:48.000They believed that human beings evolve from their natural state and that Hamilton and Washington and Adams and Madison, they were not as enlightened as Woodrow Wilson, the head of Princeton University and the governor of New Jersey.
00:19:01.000This is best embodied by their pathological focus to try to debase and undermine anything that might have existed before them.
00:19:09.000Woodrow Wilson famously said, quote, if you want to understand the real Declaration of Independence, do not repeat the preface.
00:19:16.000Now, the Declaration doesn't have a preface, but what he meant is that opening couple paragraphs where Thomas Jefferson talks about eternal truths.
00:19:24.000And so a question for the International Olympic Committee is, will there be women's sports in 10 years?
00:19:30.000Or will it just be one big sport category?
00:19:32.000Will there ever be a protected sports category?
00:19:37.000Now, interestingly, in the 1960s, there was this belief that some of the Soviet countries or the Soviet Union were trying to put men disguised as women to become weightlifters and bodybuilders.
00:19:49.000The way that they were able to figure out that wasn't the case is a very simple chromosomal test.
00:19:54.000XX, XY ended the conversation rather quickly.
00:19:58.000But now we are subjecting our young women competitors who have, on average, 9% less muscle tissue, have 9% more essential fat, and 3% more non-essential fat.
00:20:11.000Men have at least 3% more bone density and about the same level of organ composition.
00:20:18.000And even if you were to take hormonal blockers, men against a female, a man takes hormonal blockers against a female still performs better despite all of the chemical-induced therapy.
00:20:33.000But even beyond that, this is not about women's sports.
00:20:35.000This is about a question of what is worthy of preserving.
00:20:39.000And is there ever going to be a moment when this cult of progress, as I encourage all of you to go read Woodrow Wilson's 1913 essay, What is Progress?
00:20:52.000And do you see how clever the collectivist left is in doing this?
00:20:57.000They say, oh, for example, Barack Obama, his 2008 slogan was literally change, and then 2012 forward.
00:21:05.000We must continue this forward march through the institutions.
00:21:10.000Now, hilariously, some members on the left actually want some things not to change.
00:21:17.000In fact, when they're presented with their own pathological ideology, some of them get slightly more nuanced.
00:21:26.000The greatest example is probably one of the most corrupt and one of the most scatter-brained, and dare I say, paranoid, somewhat schizophrenic senators out there.
00:21:35.000One of my least favorite people in office, Sheldon White Club.
00:21:44.000He actually attacked Turning Point USA in an open letter in January or February, saying that the Internal Revenue Service should investigate Turning Point USA, our organization, because we had an event where people weren't wearing masks.
00:21:57.000That is his reasoning, that we were not social distancing.
00:22:00.000Therefore, the Internal Revenue Service should come after Turning Point USA.
00:22:03.0002017, you've had expressed concerns about the membership of the All-White Bailey Speech Club, said that you hoped it would become more diverse.
00:23:30.000It's an agenda that they call advancement because the Pledge of Allegiance was written before we were all anti-racist and that we were awoken to the reality that even some Democrats like Sheldon Whitehouse say, well, hold on, some tradition must matter.
00:23:42.000And this is a collision course that's going to end up happening in the Democrats because, yes, some things are actually really nice and worthy of protecting that even Democrats enjoy, including their incredibly upper-middle-class communities like Aspen, Colorado.
00:23:55.000But I just want to give you this one of these examples here.
00:23:58.000Fox News report on Shane Vernon, who says the Pledge of Allegiance should no longer be used.
00:24:08.000Let's talk a little bit about, let's take you out to Silverton, Colorado, where out of nowhere, Mayor Shane Furman decided at the Board of Trustee meetings, which apparently he presides over, there would no longer be a Pledge of Allegiance said.
00:24:25.000He said, due to direct and indirect threats, comments in and out of public meetings, and general divisiveness and issues created in our community.
00:24:35.000I don't know what this mayor thinks he's doing, but he thinks he's a member or a participant in the progressive agenda that we've talked about, that Woodrow Wilson articulated.
00:24:44.000Again, it's this historicist belief, endless historical progress.
00:25:07.000Direct and indirect threats, inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings, and the general divisiveness that she's creating in our community.
00:25:15.000We will not be doing the Pledge of Allegiance during Town of Silverton Board of Trustee meetings.
00:25:20.000But it's just been done for a long time.
00:25:28.000This is not up for discussion at this moment.
00:25:30.000I'd like to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
00:25:34.000I'm sorry, but that's who's the United States of America.
00:25:42.000I'm not going to ask everyone to leave tonight, but if something like that happens again, we will.
00:25:46.000Shane Vernon, whoever this guy is, is the ultimate definition of the micro-tyrant.
00:25:50.000You see, Joseph Stalin was able to assume power because of thousands of smaller micro-tyrants like Shane Vernon, who decided to go remove history and were willing to implement that.
00:26:02.000This guy is a mayor of a rather decent pro-American town in southwestern Colorado.
00:26:09.000And his agenda is not to get people back to work, not to stem the curve of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:26:14.000No, his agenda is to remove the Pledge of Allegiance.
00:26:17.000And then his members defy him and he says, This is out of order.
00:27:11.000Imagine how prideful you must be to think that all of a sudden you're so enlightened to want to remove the Pledge of Allegiance, to want to destroy women's sports.
00:27:22.000What do we do to confront this idea that it seems as if everywhere we turn, there's something that exists and they want to take that down.
00:27:30.000The only thing we can do is to play offense.
00:27:33.000We no longer have to, we no longer can just allow the other side to determine or dictate the terms of engagement.
00:27:43.000I want to show you what playing offense is.
00:27:46.000Playing offense is when a nine-year-old goes to a PTA meeting and says, you said there were no politics or BLM in our schools and you were wrong and you lied.
00:27:55.000Playing offense means you go find powerful people that are doing bad things and you call them out full of grace and truth and love, but direct to their face.
00:28:06.000And if you're sick like I am and you are exhausted at seeing every institution that has worked decay in front of your eyes, it's no longer upon us to manage that decay.
00:28:17.000It's time for us to play offense against the people that are administrating the decay.
00:28:49.000When I was here two weeks ago, you told us to report any BLM in our schools.
00:28:53.000Apparently, you know, they're in our schools because you made the signs.
00:28:58.000There's a student who says, wait a second, you made a rule publicly, and then privately, you're deceitfully and almost engaging in treachery undermining that rule.
00:29:37.000It is a political message about getting rid of police officers, rioting, burning buildings down while King Governor Welch just sits on his throne and watches.
00:29:47.000We all know changing the font or the color of posters does not change the meaning.
00:30:55.000When they are called out, when we spread the light and we shine this darkness to light with truth, it shatters under the pressure of courageous action.
