00:00:27.000 Hey, everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, Kabul Falls.

00:00:31.000 We go into great detail.

00:00:32.000 Who's the Taliban?

00:00:33.000 Where they come from?

00:00:34.000 What's going on in Afghanistan?

00:00:35.000 What's the real agenda here?

00:00:37.000 There's a deeper game at play, and it's all about reconfiguring the body politic of America.

00:00:43.000 We also get into a massive opportunity that Republicans have to win over black voters that they are seemingly missing.

00:02:08.000 Action-packed episode.

00:02:09.000 Buckle up, everybody, here we go.

00:02:12.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:02:14.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:02:16.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:02:19.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:02:22.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:02:23.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:02:24.000 His 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.

00:02:33.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:42.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:45.000 Charlie Kirk here, and I've warned you about home title theft, where cyber thieves remove you from your home's title and you become the owner.

00:02:52.000 I said you better get home title lock because it's coming.

00:02:54.000 Well, if you're on Facebook, that big breach is here.

00:02:57.000 Facebook had 500 million accounts exposed to cyber thieves.

00:03:00.000 And according to a retired FBI cybercrime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was leaked.

00:03:06.000 Name, address, personal information, it's out there.

00:03:08.000 The thief forges your signature on a quit claim deed stating you sold your home to him.

00:03:12.000 He'll leave you in debt or he'll even have you evicted.

00:03:15.000 Do what I did and protect your home's title with home title lock.

00:03:18.000 Go to hometitalock.com and register your address to see if you're already a victim.

00:03:22.000 Then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach.

00:03:26.000 Then sign up for 30 free days of protection.

00:03:31.000 That's home titlelock.com, promo code radio.

00:03:36.000 I took Friday to spend some time with my friends at the Claremont Institute diving into great books and timeless ideas and to try to always make sure that I'm presenting the best ideas to all of you.

00:03:50.000 And what a mess.

00:03:52.000 What a mess that we have to talk about today.

00:03:57.000 You know, I've done a lot of prep for this show today and a lot of thinking and a lot of praying about how to approach this.

00:04:05.000 It's hard to even find the words to describe the set of circumstances that we've seen over the last couple days.

00:04:14.000 So I remember 9-11.

00:04:16.000 I was in second grade on September 11th, 2001.

00:04:21.000 I remember what class I was in.

00:04:23.000 I remember how the class reacted.

00:04:24.000 I was at Quest Academy, actually, in Palatine, Illinois.

00:04:29.000 I remember from that point forward, the nation had a war posture and mentality.

00:04:35.000 We were told that Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9-11, which was true.

00:04:40.000 We were told that we had to go into Afghanistan with special forces and targeted strikes and find the people who did this.

00:04:51.000 Now, that I totally agreed with.

00:04:53.000 Well, I was in second grade.

00:04:54.000 I agree with looking back.

00:04:56.000 Then we got into the ground war business, trying to build an empire in a part of the world that did not want it, trying to westernize Afghanistan.

00:05:10.000 That was sympathetic after 10 years, maybe 15 years.

00:05:15.000 But eventually we started to ask ourselves the question: as we were facing a $25 trillion debt, rapid inflation, our own citizens were not being prioritized first.

00:05:27.000 Why are we empire building in Kabul when we do not have, when we have citizens in Baltimore that can't read?

00:05:33.000 Why are we building schools in rural Afghanistan when we have our own voters that are seeing their standard of life go down?

00:05:44.000 So President Trump was the first president since the start of the Afghan war.

00:05:51.000 That includes Barack Obama, by the way, to say maybe we should come to some sort of an agreement, some sort of a path forward to end the war in Afghanistan, but end it correctly.

00:06:05.000 Now, remember, President Trump dropped the Moab, the mother of all bombs, in 2017.

00:06:10.000 President Trump did a drone strike against Qassam Soleimani.

00:06:14.000 President Trump did Tomahawk missile strikes in Syria.

00:06:18.000 He was unafraid to use force when necessary.

00:06:22.000 He was not a dove when it came to foreign policy, but he also was not a neocon empire building hawk.

00:06:30.000 In principle, I believe that the war in Afghanistan needed to be scaled down, that the Afghan government had received hundreds of billions of our dollars, and it was long past time for them to be able to defend themselves.

00:06:43.000 If they wanted to be a sovereign nation, then you're going to have to handle the Taliban yourself.

00:06:48.000 Here's a tough realization for a lot of us: nation building does not work.

00:06:55.000 You are not going to turn Afghanistan into Alabama.

00:06:58.000 You're not going to turn Afghanistan into Arkansas.

00:07:00.000 This is the lie of the neoconservative project.

00:07:04.000 Now, a lot of the neoconservative writers and kind of jerks on Twitter are saying, oh, see, Afghanistan has fallen.

00:07:12.000 This is why we needed to occupy it for another hundred years.

00:07:15.000 That's a ridiculous thing to say.

00:07:17.000 I think you can have a very nuanced, moderate, and common sense, and dare I say prudent approach to this.

00:07:26.000 That you wanted to see the war in Afghanistan be scaled down eventually, correctly, while honoring our promises to the Afghan government and to the people there, while also understanding that we are not going to have Afghanistan as the 51st state of our nation, that we do have a moral obligation to look after our citizens and our nation.

00:07:49.000 It takes generations to modernize society.

00:07:52.000 You just can't purchase it and write a check to accomplish modern society.

00:07:57.000 Western civilization was the work of hundreds of years of thinking, of writing, of dialogue.

00:08:05.000 Yet the pride and the hubris of the neoconservative right and the warhawkish left that they could come into Afghanistan and all of a sudden they're going to turn it into this beautiful pinnacle of Western society.

00:08:19.000 That was foolish from the beginning.

00:08:23.000 So Joe Biden then announces that he is going to withdraw all troops on September 11th, about three weeks from now.

00:08:32.000 Now, a very fair question should be, Joe Biden, why that day?

00:08:35.000 That's kind of weird.

00:08:36.000 First of all, you shouldn't broadcast your plans to the enemy.

00:08:39.000 That's the simple piece of feedback that a lot of people give.

00:08:43.000 But what's the wisdom of that day?

00:08:44.000 Is that the best military decision?

00:08:47.000 Are you just going to give the entire country to the Taliban?

00:08:50.000 Is the Taliban then just going to run the country?

00:08:52.000 Now, that was a fair question.

00:08:54.000 And again, I want to just re-emphasize this.

00:08:57.000 This is not a Warhawk show.

00:08:58.000 This is not a neoconservative show.

00:09:00.000 We believe that American force, strategically used against our enemies, is proper and can be prudent.

00:09:09.000 Nation building, empire building, and trying to change entire civilizations to fit our own is a fool's errand.

00:09:19.000 I'm not really sure that the people in charge of our military thought all of this out completely.

00:09:33.000 Remember when President Trump withdrew from the Iran deal, they said there would be war with Iran.

00:09:39.000 Well, that wasn't true.

00:09:40.000 The experts were wrong.

00:09:41.000 Remember when President Trump moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

00:09:45.000 They said there would be war.

00:09:47.000 They were wrong.

00:09:48.000 Remember when they said that when President Trump killed Qassam Soleimani?

00:09:52.000 It wasn't him, but it was a drone strike through the United States military, there'd be war, and they were wrong.

00:09:56.000 And the experts, the military generals, like Mark Milley, who was too busy talking about critical race theory at a congressional hearing while the Taliban was plotting a takeover of Kabul, they said that if Biden withdrew from Afghanistan, the Taliban would not sweep back into power.

00:10:14.000 They were wrong.

00:10:14.000 Has our foreign policy intelligentsia been right about anything in the last 10 years?

00:10:22.000 Have the people that make millions of dollars to write these articles in the New York Times, that have these think tanks that are well funded by Raytheon and North Depth Grumman and Lockheed Martin, have they predicted anything correctly?

00:10:37.000 The foreign policy experts said, well, you know, Biden withdrawal, that's going to be perfectly fine.

00:10:43.000 The way he's doing it is great.

00:10:45.000 Now, President Trump had negotiated and put forward a withdrawal plan that had the Taliban afraid that if they would have crossed a certain line, there'd be disproportionate force used against them.

00:10:58.000 And instead, Joe Biden says, we're getting out.

00:11:04.000 And not only did the Taliban take back the country, they took it back so quickly and overwhelmed the 300,000 Afghan soldiers that we were not even able to load up our planes in time by the time the Taliban had retaken the government.

00:11:24.000 75,000 Taliban fighters, 300,000 Afghan government fighters.

00:11:30.000 They barely even fought.

00:11:31.000 I don't even know if there was a shot fired.

00:11:33.000 And what does the president of Afghanistan do?

00:11:35.000 He flees the country.

00:11:37.000 Who's in charge here?

00:11:39.000 The United States military is the most well-funded enterprise in the history of organization.

00:11:49.000 We spend a trillion dollars in Afghanistan.

00:11:53.000 We leave our weapons behind for the Taliban to take up and use against the Afghan soldiers.

00:11:57.000 Just leave them behind.

00:11:58.000 Don't even destroy the weapons.

00:12:00.000 The president we put in place flees the country, and there wasn't even a shot fired by the Taliban before they took Kabul.

00:12:09.000 I was just in Oklahoma this last weekend at Enid, Oklahoma.

00:12:13.000 It's a great church, Emmanuel Enid.

00:12:16.000 I'll tell you, that's those folks love America, wouldn't you say, Jake?

00:12:21.000 They love America still.

00:12:22.000 It's a great place.

00:12:24.000 Not too far from Oklahoma City.

00:12:26.000 Actually, gave me hope.

00:12:28.000 A lot of military people there, and they were really upset.

00:12:31.000 In fact, some military Air Force people came out to say, Charlie, what did I just do the last decade?

00:12:37.000 My whole life was about serving in Afghanistan, persuading the people in Afghanistan to fight with us.

00:12:47.000 We told them we would never betray them.

00:12:50.000 We told them that if they fought alongside of us, we'll hold the Taliban at bay.

00:12:56.000 So I think this actually warrants a little bit of an explanation, which is who are the Taliban?

00:13:04.000 Well, the Taliban, they were removed from power in Afghanistan by us in 2001.

00:13:13.000 And they have been displaced from power over the last 20 years.

00:13:18.000 And obviously, they have seized power again.

00:13:22.000 Taliban, or otherwise known as students in the Pashto language, emerged in the early 1990s in northern Pakistan following the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan.

00:13:35.000 It is believed that the predominantly Pashtun movement first appeared in religious seminaries.

00:13:41.000 I'm reading from BBC.com mainly.

00:13:44.000 Mostly paid for by money by Saudi Arabia, which preached a hardline form of Sunni Islam.

00:13:51.000 The promise made by the Taliban in Pashtun areas, straddling Pakistan and Afghanistan, was to restore peace and security and enforce their own very austere version of Sharia or Islamic law.

00:14:05.000 Their political office is in Doha right now, and they will return back to Afghanistan very soon.

00:14:14.000 The head of the Taliban is this guy, holy moly, good luck pronouncing this.

00:14:20.000 Malwali Hippatullah Aga Sagadzada.

00:14:25.000 He's the former Taliban chief justice leader since 2016.

00:14:32.000 There's a senior judge, political deputy deputy, and deputy.

00:14:36.000 And they're from southwestern Afghanistan.

00:14:39.000 The Taliban began quickly extending their influence in September of 95 and captured the province of Herat, bordering Iran.

00:14:47.000 Now, the Taliban, the actual Pashtun people, they have a history going back hundreds of years, well over a thousand years.

00:14:57.000 They own those hills.

00:15:00.000 The Taliban, they have banned music, television, cinema that disapproved of girls over 10 going to school.

00:15:09.000 They have been accused of various human rights and cultural abuses.

00:15:13.000 And in fact, the Taliban destroyed the famous Biman Buddha statues in central Afghanistan.

00:15:21.000 Pakistan has repeatedly denied that it was the architect of the Taliban enterprise.

00:15:27.000 You cannot trust Pakistan, by the way.

00:15:29.000 That's a great lesson for life.

00:15:31.000 The Pakistani government cannot be trusted.

00:15:34.000 They have the ISI.

00:15:35.000 Watch out for those people.

00:15:38.000 And so the reason why the neoconservatives wanted to invade Afghanistan was they said that it was a sanctuary for al-Qaeda.

00:15:47.000 Now, this argument never made a lot of sense to me because it ended up being Pakistan that was the sanctuary for Osama bin Laden.

00:15:55.000 That's not a good reason for a long, protracted ground invasion in a project in colonialism and imperialism.

00:16:02.000 I think special forces and airstrikes would have been sufficient to be able to find the exact targets in the hills of Afghanistan, not hundreds of thousands of ground troops and $1 trillion spent.

00:16:18.000 And I'm going to ask this question, and we're going to keep on diving into this.

00:16:21.000 What did we get for a trillion dollars spent and thousands of lives lost and tens of thousands of soldiers with PTSD and tens of thousands of soldiers with injuries?

00:16:31.000 What do we have to show for it?

00:16:32.000 A Taliban that is stronger than when we first came.

00:16:37.000 Our generals, like Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley, who are in charge of the Department of Defense, instead of wondering about what is the prudent and wise way to withdraw from Afghanistan and make sure we're good on our promise to the people of Afghanistan, they were too busy talking about critical race theory and anti-American philosophy.

00:17:00.000 They're too busy mandating how to be an anti-racist to our generals.

00:17:05.000 Remember this narrative we've talked about here in our program and our podcast about how the military has gone woke?

00:17:12.000 Well, as the military goes woke, the Taliban takes over.

00:17:18.000 Big tech platforms would not be what they are today, would it not be for content creators?

00:17:24.000 Even though these platforms would be empty without great content, they have ultimate control over the newsfeed and what members see and do not see.

00:17:31.000 Locals.com thinks this is, well, nuts.

00:17:35.000 So they set out to build the first social media platform that champions the true heroes of the social media world, the creators, where creators have total ownership and control over their content.

00:17:45.000 A platform doesn't subject everyone to BS algorithms that prioritize the platform's need and politics over speech.

00:17:54.000 The phrase isn't power to the platforms.

00:17:56.000 It's power to the people.

00:17:58.000 We like locals a lot.

00:18:00.000 And I want you to check out our locals feed at charliekirk.locals.com.

00:18:06.000 That's charliekirk.locals.com.

00:18:28.000 Where is Joe Biden?

00:18:30.000 Joe Biden is vacationing, eating ice cream at Camp David, silent as the 20-year war turns into a total public spectacle of humiliation.

00:18:46.000 This is humiliating, everybody.

00:18:49.000 It's humiliating to see overweight, goat herding perverts storm the capital of Afghanistan that was funded by our own dollars and our blood over the last 20 years.

00:19:03.000 It's humiliating.

00:19:04.000 People are saying we lost the war.

00:19:07.000 Hard to disagree with that.

00:19:10.000 Ending the war the way President Trump wanted to was the right call.

00:19:16.000 With force as a threat, with negotiation bilaterally.

00:19:25.000 And now we're seeing the consequences of that.

00:19:27.000 China is partnering with the Taliban.

00:19:31.000 Dr. Keith Rose, a friend of mine, we're going to be doing an event with him this weekend, actually, at Calvary Chapel.

00:19:37.000 God speak, my pastor is Church Rob McCoy.

00:19:39.000 He said, when we came to Afghanistan, I remember reading that Afghanistan was finally liberated from a regime that imposed mandatory face coverings, destroyed statues, and promoted the genital mutilation of children.

00:19:48.000 Sadly, that could also be said as we leave.

00:19:52.000 So we used to attack the Taliban for mandatory face coverings, destroying statues, and promoting the genital mutilation of children.

00:20:03.000 We now do all three of those things in the United States of America.

00:20:08.000 You have chemical castration in states across the country and Republican governors like Asa Hutchinson who support it.

00:20:14.000 We are taking down statues all across the country, and you can't walk into a restaurant in LA, Vegas, New York without a face covering.

00:20:24.000 Seems that we took the Taliban values here and allowed the Taliban to take over Afghanistan.

00:20:30.000 Joe Biden promised us this would never happen.

00:20:33.000 Joe Biden said there would be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of the embassy of the United States from Afghanistan.

00:20:42.000 Play cut three.

00:20:44.000 There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan.

00:20:53.000 It is not at all comfortable.

00:20:55.000 Now, that was back in July.

00:20:57.000 Why did he get so specific?

00:20:58.000 He knew Afghanistan was going to fall.

00:21:02.000 He didn't care.

00:21:04.000 And I have a theory as to why.

00:21:05.000 And we're going to dive into why I believe Joe Biden did this the way he did.

00:21:09.000 And it is so sinister.

00:21:11.000 It's so Machiavellian.

00:21:14.000 So Mika Brzezinski says that this was Trump's dealings with the Taliban that was treasonous.

00:21:19.000 She still blames Joe Biden a little bit.

00:21:21.000 This is going to be the new narrative, by the way.

00:21:22.000 The narrative that they are going to be pushing is that it was Trump that messed up Afghanistan.

00:21:28.000 You know that we did not lose a single service member the last 11 months in the Afghan theater under President Trump.

00:21:34.000 The Taliban feared us, and a withdrawal was only possible under those terms.

00:21:40.000 Play cut two.

00:21:41.000 Now, I don't disagree with Adrian about Trump's involvement with this and that his dealings with the Taliban being downright disgusting and treasonous or whatever else word you want to use, anti-democratic, not conducive to a good outcome, however you want to describe it.

00:21:59.000 But this is Joe Biden's.

00:22:01.000 He made this decision.

00:22:03.000 And I just worry a little bit about the, you know, what about ism or putting it back on Trump.

00:22:08.000 You can do it.

00:22:09.000 He owns a lot of it.

00:22:10.000 But Joe Biden made this decision.

00:22:14.000 Yeah, you could do the whataboutism thing.

00:22:15.000 We do that every day here on Morning Joe.

00:22:17.000 We're really good at not covering the news and blaming things on Trump.

00:22:20.000 But he did actually end up say that we should remove the troops.

00:22:24.000 If you look at the videos of what is happening in Afghanistan, it'll take your breath away.

00:22:29.000 People are falling out of planes trying to get out of the country to their death.

00:22:35.000 People are running to the airport in massive numbers.

00:22:38.000 And here, I want to re-emphasize this point.

00:22:41.000 Who is in charge of our military?

00:22:44.000 How do you have 300,000 Afghan soldiers and none of them even fight?

00:22:49.000 We spend a trillion dollars.

00:22:52.000 Where did all that money go?

00:22:54.000 So I'm going to turn this on the neoconservative crowd.

00:22:56.000 I'm going to flip it upside down because the neoconservative crowd, the warmongers, the Liz Cheney types, they say, see, this is why we have to be here till 2240.

00:23:06.000 Our withdrawal date can be 200 years from now on the 400th anniversary of America, then we can get out of Afghanistan.

00:23:12.000 I ask the question: hold on a second.

00:23:14.000 We spent a trillion dollars in 20 years.

00:23:17.000 Where did all that money go?

00:23:18.000 Yeah, I know all your defense contractor crony donors made a bunch of money, like Raytheon and Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

00:23:27.000 You're trying to tell me they couldn't even hold the city of Kabul for an afternoon?

00:23:31.000 There were no shots fired.

00:23:32.000 The Taliban just had a highway straight to the capital.

00:23:37.000 No willingness to fight, no training.

00:23:40.000 Where's the weaponry?

00:23:42.000 Joe Biden was saying, well, they have an Air Force.

00:23:48.000 So they'll be able to hold the line.

00:23:51.000 Anthony Blinken said, Well, we set out what we wanted to do.

00:23:57.000 These people are so dishonest.

00:23:59.000 And this is why I get so frustrated when I hear Republicans are negotiating infrastructure deals.

00:24:04.000 These are not people in good faith.

00:24:06.000 They're not.

00:24:07.000 They want chaos.

00:24:08.000 They want discord.

00:24:09.000 They want destruction.

00:24:11.000 I want you to listen to this.

00:24:13.000 Anthony Blinken says the important and the private part out loud.

00:24:20.000 Play cut one.

00:24:22.000 Let's take a step back.

00:24:23.000 This is manifestly not Saigon.

00:24:25.000 The fact of the matter is this: we went to Afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission in mind, and that was to deal with the people who attacked us on 9-11.

00:24:34.000 And that mission has been successful.

00:24:36.000 Yeah, it's not Saigon.

00:24:38.000 It's worse.

00:24:39.000 I want to submit to you: this is not incompetence.

00:24:44.000 You are going to hear a lot of conservative pundits and neoconservatives and warmongers and even the New York Times is being tough on Biden because this is a, there is no defending this.

00:24:56.000 They're going to say, oh, this was incompetent.

00:24:58.000 This was an error wrong.

00:25:00.000 This was intentional.

00:25:02.000 They knew this was going to happen.

00:25:03.000 Why would Biden say that there wouldn't be people lifted off the roof of the embassy?

00:25:07.000 That's a weird thing to say.

00:25:09.000 Did he already war game that out as something that might happen?

00:25:12.000 He knew what the Taliban was going to do, and he wanted to do it anyway.

00:25:16.000 Why?

00:25:18.000 What would the Biden administration possibly gain from the visual humiliation from the goat herding perverts taking over the Hill, taking over the capital of the proxy government that we put in place, literally just fleeing the country?

00:25:33.000 Just, I'm done.

00:25:34.000 Thanks for playing.

00:25:36.000 This Afghan president will find his name.

00:25:38.000 He just left the country.

00:25:39.000 He did a press release saying, yeah, I'm done.

00:25:42.000 And he just left.

00:25:42.000 I don't know where he is.

00:25:43.000 He's probably in some sort of, he's in the Maldives or something, vacationing, abandoned his fellow countrymen.

00:25:50.000 Tony Blinken said on cut 10 on July 7th, saying, We are not withdrawing.

00:25:56.000 We are staying.

00:25:57.000 The embassy is staying.

00:25:58.000 Our programs are staying.

00:25:59.000 If there is a significant deterioration in security, I don't think something that's going to happen from a Friday to a Monday.

00:26:07.000 The Taliban took over the country in three days.

00:26:12.000 Three days.

00:26:14.000 After a trillion dollars that we spent and 300,000 Afghan forces.

00:26:18.000 Where'd all that money go?

00:26:20.000 Why did we go build their schools and we have our own citizens that can't read?

00:26:25.000 Play cut 10.

00:26:26.000 I don't think that the fact that our forces are withdrawing, one, we're not withdrawing.

00:26:32.000 We're staying.

00:26:33.000 The embassy is staying.

00:26:34.000 Our programs are staying.

00:26:35.000 We're working to make sure that other partners stay.

00:26:37.000 We're building all of that up.

00:26:39.000 And whatever happens in Afghanistan, if there is a significant deterioration in security, that could well happen.

00:26:46.000 We've discussed this before.

00:26:49.000 I don't think it's going to be something that happens from a Friday to a Monday.

00:26:54.000 So what would the motive be here?

00:26:57.000 I do not want to hear from conservative pundits that this was incompetence.

00:27:02.000 This was weakness.

00:27:05.000 It's much more sinister than that.

00:27:08.000 All roads lead to political transformation.

00:27:12.000 Remember this.

00:27:12.000 The most important thing for the Democrats is having permanent political control.

00:27:18.000 Now, you might be saying, all right, Charlie, what does the fall of Kabul have to do with Democrats taking over political control?

00:27:31.000 I was watching CNN last night.

00:27:33.000 They actually had pretty good 24-hour coverage, I have to say.

00:27:36.000 The CNN did okay.

00:27:37.000 And they were hitting Biden pretty hard.

00:27:39.000 It was their international desk.

00:27:42.000 Biden is going to be pressured to make good on this.

00:27:47.000 Colin Powell was quoted in the Washington Post.

00:27:50.000 He said he never said this, but he did.

00:27:53.000 The old pottery, the old pottery barn statement where Colin Powell said, well, you know what?

00:27:59.000 Pottery Barn, if you go in there, you break it, you buy it.

00:28:04.000 He said, that's what American foreign policy has to be.

00:28:07.000 And the funniest part of the whole story is that Pottery Barn came back.

00:28:11.000 They said, that's not our policy.

00:28:12.000 It's like, that's not the point.

00:28:14.000 The point is that he thought that policy, you break it, you buy it, you break Afghanistan, you buy it.

00:28:19.000 What is the motive then?

00:28:22.000 I saw it this morning, and our prediction came true.

00:28:27.000 President Joe Biden's Department of Defense will accept 30,000 Afghan refugees into military installations following the collapse of Kabul.

00:28:37.000 Boom.

00:28:39.000 Political transformation.

00:28:44.000 Let the country crumble.

00:28:45.000 Do you know there's 5 million displaced people in Afghanistan now?

00:28:49.000 This was all intentional.

00:28:51.000 Joe Biden let it fall apart to now say, oh, I'm so sorry.

00:28:56.000 I guarantee you, Joe Biden's speech this afternoon will talk about refugee assistance and relocation support.

00:29:01.000 Now, Joe Biden's going to be scrambling to make good on it, and the liberal media will love it.

00:29:05.000 They'll say, oh, yes, okay, now I get it.

00:29:07.000 Joe Biden is now fixing his own problem.

00:29:09.000 Joe Biden is stepping up and he's allowing a flow of people from the Middle East into America.

00:29:15.000 Thank you, Joe Biden.

00:29:16.000 You're such a hero.

00:29:17.000 So benevolent.

00:29:17.000 You're so respectful.

00:29:18.000 You're so compassionate.

00:29:19.000 Do you see what's going on here?

00:29:20.000 What's going on here is Joe Biden wants a couple hundred thousand more Elon Omars to come into America to change the body politic permanently.

00:29:29.000 We're playing checkers and they're playing chess.

00:29:32.000 The reason why Joe Biden and the Department of Defense handled Afghanistan the way they did was not because of incompetence and not because of weakness.

00:29:41.000 They did this to try to create another refugee crisis because the one prior changed Europe forever.

00:29:48.000 You might remember the refugee crisis that was caused by ISIS is one of the main reasons why Angel Merkel and many other European nations had to accept millions of people from the Middle East into the European countries that changed the matter, because you have a matter and a form of government permanently, that changed the cultural landscape of it.

00:30:10.000 That's exactly what Joe Biden and the people in charge of our government were thinking when they did this.

00:30:16.000 There is no rational or reasonable explanation for this.

00:30:19.000 Let me prove this to you.

00:30:22.000 First of all, the Afghan government was probably paid off by the Taliban with Chinese money.

00:30:26.000 There is really no other explanation there.

00:30:28.000 Why would we leave weapons behind?

00:30:31.000 Who could explain that?

00:30:33.000 Why would Joe Biden already be talking about as if the Taliban is going to take over the entire country?

00:30:37.000 Who can explain that?

00:30:40.000 I refuse to blame this entire thing on incompetence and weakness.

00:30:47.000 That is the easy way.

00:30:48.000 Instead, I think we need to look a level deeper.

00:30:52.000 When has the Biden administration not tried to implement a policy that actually benefits their political objectives?

00:31:02.000 The southern border wide open is a great example.

00:31:05.000 And they've been pushing for refugees for quite some time.

00:31:08.000 Imagine if I told you that you could bring in another 300,000 people from Somalia.

00:31:15.000 Now, why did we bring in so many people from Somali?

00:31:18.000 It's the pottery barn principle.

00:31:21.000 You break Mogadishu, you buy it.

00:31:24.000 Make no mistake, this is going to create one of the largest refugee crises in the modern era and definitely the largest since the ISIS refugee crisis.

00:31:34.000 They might say, Charlie, I don't care about refugees.

00:31:36.000 I don't understand how they all connect.

00:31:38.000 Refugees are displaced people that then give an argument, a moral high-ground argument to people from like the Open Society Foundation to allow third world voters into Western nations that then tend to vote Democrat on an almost 80 to 20% clip.

00:31:54.000 That's how they process data.

00:31:57.000 That's how they view decisions.

00:32:00.000 How long are we going to be in power?

00:32:01.000 That's why they refused to police the southern border, where we are on pace to have 2 million illegal border crossings into the country.

00:32:07.000 The refugee pool will be expanded as more refugees, refugee pool of immigration to America will be expanded as there are more refugees.

00:32:19.000 This point will be lost on many Republicans.

00:32:21.000 They're going to go on television and say this is a very weak move by Biden.

00:32:24.000 Yeah, it was probably weak.

00:32:27.000 But they knew what they were getting from this.

00:32:29.000 They know long term they are actually going to politically benefit from the fall of Afghanistan.

00:32:35.000 They know that right now, I'll read from the Breitbart article.

00:32:39.000 Department of Defense said, Department of State and Department of Defense, the situation in Afghanistan may lead to allowing Afghan SIV applicants to be moved to temporary housing locations while still being vetted for parolee status.

00:32:52.000 Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told Fox News, quote, we have to have the capacity to get up to several thousand immediately and want to be prepared for refugees of tens of thousands coming to America.

00:33:06.000 The State Department website defines SIV as, quote, available to persons who worked with the U.S. Armed Forces or under the Chief of Mission Authority or Translator or Interpreter or Iraq of Afghanistan.

00:33:17.000 This program offers visas for up to 50 persons a year, remains active.

00:33:21.000 And right now, there are 30,000 of such that are coming to America.

00:33:26.000 Never let a crisis go to waste.

00:33:28.000 So Biden had a way.

00:33:29.000 He said, I want to end the war in Afghanistan.

00:33:33.000 Now, if I do this correctly, it won't create that much of a crisis.

00:33:38.000 You do realize that the socialists and the collectivists benefited tremendously from the ISIS refugee crisis that was caused by the fracturing of Syria, especially in the Syrian civil war with Bashar al-Assad.

00:33:54.000 Why would they miss another opportunity to bring in millions of new voters that are more loyal to their agenda and their vision?

00:34:02.000 A stable Afghanistan would not allow them that opportunity.

00:34:09.000 So when's the last time you think you had American meat?

00:34:12.000 Well, I could tell you last time I had American meat.

00:34:33.000 And the answer is usually no, not because they don't do great work, but because I want all that meat for myself because it's so good.

00:34:41.000 Big box of meat arriving to your home.

00:34:43.000 Sounds too good to be true.

00:34:45.000 Well, it's all American-made meat.

00:36:42.000 GoodRanchers.com/slash Charlie right now.

00:36:49.000 What was our military doing while the Taliban was plotting a takeover of Afghanistan?

00:36:55.000 Oh, they were too busy lecturing us on white rage.

00:37:00.000 Remember the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Milley, in front of a Senate committee saying, Well, the biggest threat to America is white rage.

00:37:07.000 And I really want to figure out what is behind white rage.

00:37:10.000 Our own government is declaring war on its citizens, and I'll prove it to you through a Department of Homeland Security bulletin that was issued last week.

00:37:19.000 While the Taliban takes over the entire country of Afghanistan, they have right here, CNN keeps on having these generals on television, this guy, General Wesley Clark.

00:37:30.000 I don't know if he's a good guy or bad guys on CNN, so he's questionable.

00:37:33.000 But every one of these generals has screwed up professionally for the last 40 years.

00:37:38.000 What have they ever done that has accomplished victory?

00:37:41.000 You fail upwards in Washington, D.C. Prime example: number one: General Milley.

00:37:48.000 Do we have the will to even fight anymore?

00:37:50.000 Cut 18.

00:37:51.000 On the issue of critical race theory, et cetera, I'll obviously have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is.

00:37:58.000 But I do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely read.

00:38:06.000 And the United States Military Academy is a university, and it is important that we train and we understand.

00:38:14.000 And I want to understand white rage, and I'm white, and I want to understand it.

00:38:18.000 So, what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?

00:38:27.000 What caused that?

00:38:28.000 That's what he's worried about.

00:38:29.000 He's worried about white rage and what caused that, while the Taliban begins their offensive in Afghanistan.

00:38:39.000 That's who's running your military right now.

00:38:41.000 Former CIA boss John Brennan goes on MSNBC.

00:38:46.000 What does he say?

00:38:47.000 He says, I'm increasingly embarrassed to be a white man.

00:38:50.000 Make no mistake, everybody.

00:38:51.000 Before I play this tape, cut 20, get it ready, please.

00:38:55.000 When we talk about here on this program, the threat of critical race theory, how it's an existential issue to the American way of life, on this show, we are going to make the argument that as critical race theory has climbed the ranks of influence and power, the humiliation you're seeing right now in Kabul is directly related with the implementation of critical race theory in our schools and in our colleges.

00:39:22.000 It's a doctrine of weakness, a doctrine of deconstruction.

00:39:29.000 Can you run a military like a Socratic seminar?

00:39:34.000 Well, John Brennan says that he's increasingly embarrassed to be a white man.

00:39:38.000 People like this are running your military.

00:39:39.000 That's why you watch right now on the main feeds.

00:39:45.000 Afghanistan is gone.

00:39:49.000 Play cut 20.

00:39:51.000 Well, I must say, to Claire's point, I'm increasingly embarrassed to be a white male these days.

00:39:56.000 In light of what I see by other white males saying.

00:39:59.000 And then remember the CIA recruitment video, the Central Intelligence Agency, Cut 19, our own spy agency, which used to be OSS and then changed in the CIA.

00:40:09.000 Instead of worrying about monitoring our enemies or maybe keeping an eye on what the Taliban is thinking or doing, or maybe, you know, what the CIA should be doing, instead, our intelligence apparatus, instead of spying on Tucker Carlson, which is what they did, they probably should have been thinking, hey, is the Afghan government doing a deal with the Taliban behind our back?

00:40:30.000 That's somewhat important.

00:40:34.000 Cut 19, this is the CIA's marketing arm with something that very well could have been an advertisement for Wellesley College, play cut 19.

00:40:44.000 I'm a woman of color.

00:40:45.000 I am a mom.

00:40:46.000 I am a cisgender millennial who's been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.

00:40:52.000 I am intersectional, but my existence is not a box-checking exercise.

00:40:57.000 I am a walking declaration.

00:40:59.000 I am unapologetically me.

00:41:01.000 I want you to be unapologetically you, whoever you are.

00:41:05.000 Know your worth, command your space.

00:41:08.000 Miha, you're worth it.

00:41:11.000 Know your worth, command your space.

00:41:13.000 That's a CIA recruitment video.

00:41:17.000 Generalized anxiety disorder.

00:41:19.000 I hope she finds treatment.

00:41:20.000 Our enemies look at that and they say, really?

00:41:23.000 You're going to be doing advertisements about all your weaknesses?

00:41:25.000 We'll go take Kabul.

00:41:27.000 Now, the left-wing media is turning on Biden in a way, but they're doing this intentionally.

00:41:34.000 I want to just reemphasize this point I made earlier.

00:41:37.000 The European refugee crisis changed the body politic of Europe forever.

00:41:42.000 The international globalists would love nothing more to be able to create another refugee crisis, which is what you're about to see happen in Afghanistan.

00:41:51.000 Rough estimates show that there are 5 million refugees in Afghanistan right now, 5 million displaced people.

00:41:58.000 Where are they all going to go?

00:42:00.000 Late last night, I keep on going back to this.

00:42:02.000 If we can find this tape, when I was watching CNN last night, like midnight, I couldn't sleep.

00:42:07.000 I actually couldn't sleep because of how humiliating this entire thing was.

00:42:11.000 And it hit me.

00:42:12.000 The whole kind of thing came together.

00:42:14.000 I said, of course, this is what they're trying to do, obviously.

00:42:17.000 Is they had this whole report from Islamabad and this woman that was being interviewed, she said, well, look, Pakistan has a wall and a fence, and they don't allow refugees in their country.

00:42:28.000 Like, oh, okay, so they're not going to Pakistan.

00:42:31.000 No, no, no.

00:42:31.000 They're going to go to Berlin.

00:42:33.000 They're going to go to Stockholm.

00:42:35.000 They're going to go to London.

00:42:36.000 They're going to go to Milwaukee.

00:42:38.000 They're going to go to Atlanta.

00:42:40.000 That's what they're already doing.

00:42:42.000 The left-wing media is asking, how did they get this so wrong?

00:42:49.000 They didn't get it wrong.

00:42:51.000 This was their intended outcome.

00:42:53.000 And the way that they are going to make good on this and to compensate for it is by the largest relocation of people that we have seen since the European refugee crisis, play cut 14.

00:43:07.000 Secretary Blinken, as you know, the Taliban has closed in on Kabul.

00:43:11.000 We're evacuating the embassy, burning documents.

00:43:13.000 Biden increased troops, deploying to the country twice in three days just to rescue those there.

00:43:19.000 This is not just about the overall idea of leaving Afghanistan.

00:43:22.000 This is about leaving hastily and ineptly.

00:43:25.000 Secretary Blinken, how did President Biden get this so wrong?

00:43:29.000 And then the answer was the answer was a joke, quite honestly.

00:43:34.000 Cut 16, left-wing media turns on Biden, calls the withdrawal a fiasco and a debacle.

00:43:40.000 Play cut 16.

00:43:41.000 Mr. Sullivan, friends and foes alike are calling this withdrawal a fiasco, a debacle.

00:43:48.000 And it is one that apparently the administration did not fully appreciate or see coming.

00:43:53.000 And yet that is precisely what we have seen over these last few days.

00:43:57.000 How do you explain getting this so wrong?

00:43:59.000 From someone on the front ground on the front line said, for months leading up to this, ANA and NNANDSF were surrendering little hundreds, literally hundreds, sometimes thousands at a time to the Taliban all over the country.

00:44:12.000 Biden was talking out of his, you know, what, because he said completely contradicted what was coming out of the military intelligence reports.

00:44:20.000 He was just lying.

00:44:23.000 Lying to the people and lying publicly.

00:44:27.000 Lied about the intelligence.

00:44:29.000 In a organized country, we would be having generals resigning en masse right now.

00:44:38.000 But honor and duty are no longer a central principle, unfortunately, in our country.

00:44:44.000 Where are the resignations?

00:44:45.000 Could you imagine if Trump oversaw this, how the media would be reacting to this, how the Democrats would be reacting to this?

00:44:52.000 Afghanistan footage, young children literally falling out of a USAF C-17 from the plane.

00:44:57.000 Cut six.

00:44:59.000 And I'll narrate it as we see it right up there.

00:45:02.000 So here you have a plane that's taking off and people dropping off the wings as they were trying their best to get on the plane.

00:45:12.000 It's on you, Joe Biden.

00:45:14.000 He was silent all weekend.

00:45:17.000 Congressman Ron Paul don't agree with him on everything.

00:45:21.000 But he warned in his final speech on the House floor before leaving Congress that there is a bipartisan agreement that keeps the spending going between progressives and the defense spending.

00:45:32.000 And I want to re-emphasize this point that you're not going to hear from a lot of people on television, which is, where did all this money go?

00:45:42.000 You're trying to tell me that the Taliban took over a country in three days after we spent 20 years there?

00:45:50.000 What were we doing there?

00:45:52.000 Play cut four.

00:45:54.000 A grand but never mentioned bipartisan agreement allows for the well-kept secret that keeps the spending going.

00:46:02.000 One side doesn't give up one penny on military spending.

00:46:06.000 The other side doesn't give up one penny on welfare spending.

00:46:09.000 While both sides support the bailouts and the subsidies for the banking and the corporate elite.

00:46:14.000 And the spending continues as the economy weakens and the downward spiral continues.

00:46:20.000 The spending continues as the downward spiral goes.

00:46:25.000 Cut five, Congressman Ron Paul, final speech on the House floor before leaving Congress.

00:46:29.000 But here's the major stumbling block.

00:46:32.000 Why is it that we can't ever successfully disengage from these theaters of combat?

00:46:38.000 Play cut five.

00:46:40.000 The major stumbling block to real change in Washington is the total resistance to admitting that the country is broke.

00:46:48.000 This has made compromising just to agree to increase spending inevitable since neither side has any intention on cutting spending.

00:46:57.000 The country and the Congress will remain divisive since there's no loot left to divvy up.

00:47:04.000 And then finally, cut seven, one decade ago, he was asked, should we leave Afghanistan?

00:47:09.000 I think the answer is very clear, and it is not complicated.

00:47:13.000 I think we should as soon as we can.

00:47:14.000 This suggests that we can leave by the end of the year.

00:47:17.000 If we don't, we'll be there for another decade, would be my prediction.

00:47:20.000 And we were.

00:47:21.000 And it only got worse.

00:47:22.000 The more we were there, the more resolve the Taliban had, the more they were able to recruit, the more they were able to build the infrastructure and wait this thing out.

00:47:33.000 What if I told you that our permanent occupation actually made the Taliban stronger?

00:47:39.000 Had the opposite effect.

00:47:41.000 Play cut seven.

00:47:42.000 The question we're facing today is: should we leave Afghanistan?

00:47:47.000 I think the answer is very clear and it's not complicated.

00:47:51.000 And of course, we should, as soon as we can.

00:47:54.000 This suggests that we can leave by the end of the year.

00:47:56.000 If we don't, we'll be there for another decade, would be my prediction.

00:48:01.000 Another decade.

00:48:03.000 While we have so many structural problems here in our country, we built schools, electric vehicles, charging stations.

00:48:13.000 We built massive infrastructure in Afghanistan.

00:48:16.000 And what do we have to show for it?

00:48:18.000 The taking of Kabul almost overnight.

00:48:22.000 We're getting a lot of questions at freedom at charliekirk.com, and people agree with our assessment that this is humiliating.

00:48:29.000 That this is an event that will go down in history.

00:48:34.000 And the way Joe Biden is going to try to make up for it is going to be by accepting massive swaths of refugees in return.

00:48:47.000 How to mess up a country in less than eight months.

00:48:50.000 This is not the only crisis that's happening.

00:48:52.000 We're going to get into some other stuff as well because there's been a lot of developments around mandatory vaccinations.

00:48:57.000 But I want to go to cut 23, Robert Gates, on how Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy decision in the last 40 years.

00:49:05.000 We talked about this.

00:49:06.000 Biden was wrong on Gaddafi.

00:49:08.000 Biden was wrong on Assad.

00:49:10.000 Biden was wrong on Iraq.

00:49:12.000 Biden was wrong in Afghanistan.

00:49:14.000 Biden was wrong with China.

00:49:15.000 Biden was wrong with Ukraine.

00:49:17.000 Biden was wrong with North Korea.

00:49:20.000 Play cut 23.

00:49:22.000 I was rereading your memoir before we sat down to talk, and you said in your memoir, I think he's been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.

00:49:36.000 Would he be an effective commander-in-chief?

00:49:42.000 I don't know.

00:49:43.000 I don't know.

00:49:44.000 I think I stand by that statement.

00:49:48.000 Wrong about every major foreign policy decision of the last couple decades.

00:49:52.000 Kabul, that's a project of the Biden regime, but it was done intentionally.

00:50:01.000 Look, I choose to protect my online activity by using ExpressVPN.

00:50:06.000 Even if you keep your accounts, you don't have to give big tech websites access to your data.

00:50:12.000 Ever wondered how free-to-access social media companies make all their money?

00:50:16.000 Well, by tracking your searches, video history, and everything you click on, and then selling your valuable data.

00:50:22.000 When you use ExpressVPN, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address, and that makes your activity much more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.

00:51:14.000 Last week, the left took a bizarre victory lap saying that the 2020 U.S. population census shows that the U.S. population is more racially and ethnically diverse than measured in 2010.

00:51:28.000 This was widely heralded by the New York Times and the Washington Post.

00:51:32.000 I was saying, see, we have won.

00:51:35.000 What difference does that make?

00:51:36.000 Why do they care about skin colors so much?

00:51:38.000 Why are they emphasizing the way people look?

00:51:42.000 Are they trying to tell us something that certain skin colors should be given preference over the others?

00:51:47.000 Charles M. Blow wrote a piece for the New York Times saying that the census was a terrifying blow to white nationalists.

00:51:54.000 He's never met a white nationalist in his life.

00:51:56.000 He doesn't know what it is.

00:51:57.000 I don't even know what it is.

00:51:58.000 It's a made-up term.

00:52:00.000 And so the census comes out, and this is census.gov, measuring racial and ethnic diversity.

00:52:06.000 They now have a diversity index and a prevalence ranking and diffusion score.

00:52:11.000 You see, the left believes that if they are able to change the matter of the country culturally, who cares about skin color?

00:52:21.000 Skin color is irrelevant.

00:52:22.000 Then it will change the form of the government.

00:52:26.000 There are two different ways that you look at a nation.

00:52:28.000 You have the raw material and the matter you're dealing with, the language, the history, the culture, and then you have the form, the type of the government you actually want to establish.

00:52:40.000 And they must fit one another.

00:52:42.000 When you change the matter so dramatically, sometimes the form will not fit.

00:52:48.000 A good example of this, as I've mentioned a couple of times, is Elon Omar.

00:52:53.000 Elon Omar is incompatible with the Constitutional Republic.

00:52:56.000 She distastes, she hates it.

00:52:58.000 Separation of powers, checks and balances, consent of the governed.

00:53:01.000 She wants nothing to do with it.

00:53:03.000 Elon Omar has a completely different worldview than the American way of life.

00:53:12.000 So if you bring in hundreds of thousands of people like Elon Omar, that changes the matter, and therefore it will change the form.

00:53:21.000 Thomas West, who's a phenomenal historian, was the one to kind of pioneer this way of processing information.

00:53:30.000 And last week, we saw that the census data showed that white people are in demographic decline, and the response from his audience was demented.

00:53:41.000 It was demented.

00:53:43.000 They give a standing ovation that white people are in decline.

00:53:47.000 There is a massive anti-white problem in our country.

00:53:50.000 There's huge institutional anti-white racism.

00:53:53.000 Don't believe me?

00:53:54.000 Listen to this.

00:53:55.000 Cut 24, Jimmy Fallon mentions that the latest official census shows that white people are in demographic decline.

00:54:01.000 Listen to how they respond.

00:54:02.000 Cut 24.

00:54:03.000 Some more news.

00:54:04.000 The results of the 2020 census just came out.

00:54:07.000 And for the first time in American history, the number of white people went down.

00:54:16.000 Yes, we hate that skin color.

00:54:20.000 That is now, if you send your child to college, that's what they're taught.

00:54:23.000 Taught to hate people of a certain skin color.

00:54:26.000 The Department of Homeland Security taxpayer-funded government agency, DHS, just a couple days ago, they issued a new terrorism bulletin.

00:54:36.000 The terrorism bulletin talked about potential terror threats.

00:54:40.000 Here's what they said were the biggest terror threats to the country.

00:54:45.000 This is your government.

00:54:47.000 Opposition to COVID measures, claims of election fraud and belief that Trump can be reinstated, and 9-11 anniversary and religious holidays.

00:54:56.000 No mention of Islamic fundamentalism.

00:54:58.000 No mention of BLM Incorporated.

00:55:00.000 No mention of Antifa.

00:55:01.000 Zero.

00:55:03.000 And meanwhile, Homeland Security, the Department of Homeland Security, they are loading up planes with the illegals, not being COVID tested, and they are spreading them across the country.

00:55:15.000 You want to talk about a super spreader?

00:55:16.000 We have a taxpayer-funded super spreader of military aircraft that are shipping illegals that come into the country to Omaha, to Reno, to Missoula.

00:55:29.000 That's our government that's doing that.

00:55:32.000 And I asked this question with all sincerity, and then there's this kind of this interesting drama that Cammy doesn't want to take, doesn't want to take responsibility for the mess that's Kabul.

00:55:42.000 Cammy wants Joe Biden to come back from vacation and to give a speech.

00:55:47.000 I mean this with all sincerity.

00:55:49.000 I want you to think about this.

00:55:50.000 I'd love for you to email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:55:54.000 Do they actually want to govern this country?

00:55:59.000 They have nothing but contempt for the citizens of America.

00:56:07.000 They seem almost annoyed by the people that they have been tasked to defend and to secure the blessings of liberty for, as it says in the preamble of the Constitution.

00:56:18.000 I want to just also make one other point about the Jimmy Fallon thing.

00:56:21.000 So Jimmy Fallon comes out, celebrates the decline of white people.

00:56:24.000 Could you imagine if the race was different?

00:56:27.000 You see, the civil rights regime that came with the Civil Rights Act in 1964 implemented the entire new framework of what we are dealing with.

00:56:35.000 Christopher Caldwell talks about this perfectly in his book, Age of Entitlement, which you read his book, a lot of people would say, that's a thought crime.

00:56:43.000 You're not allowed to say that.

00:56:44.000 The argument he makes in his book is that the overly aggressive implementation of the third founding of the United States, the first founding being in 1776, second founding right after the American Civil War, the third founding really was the Civil Rights Act, was a complete federal superstructure of hyperracialization and using government power to go after certain skin colors and people, specifically white people.

00:57:08.000 And now we are seeing that manifested in our customs and in our laws and in our culture.

00:57:14.000 You get standing ovation on NBC News if you'd say that there are less white people.

00:57:21.000 They applaud that.

00:57:22.000 There's another story I want to get to here, which is kind of an interesting one, which is circulating, and it's starting to get some traction.

00:57:30.000 I got to say, it's a, at first I kind of looked at it.

00:57:33.000 I was like, I don't know about that, but I looked into this.

00:57:36.000 So this is still, the Biden administration's not responding to this.

00:57:40.000 So Joe Biden posted this photos that some intern took at Camp David of him sitting at an empty desk, looking very frail in a polo shirt, staring and contemplating at television screens.

00:57:56.000 I'm reading from Kyle Becker's website, Becker News.

00:58:00.000 And everyone asked the question, where is the president?

00:58:02.000 Where is Joe Biden?

00:58:04.000 Because we knew he was on vacation in some way.

00:58:07.000 Why hasn't he given a comment?

00:58:11.000 And Kabul fell, and the presidential palace was overrun.

00:58:14.000 And so he posts this picture.

00:58:16.000 Okay, whatever.

00:58:19.000 And obviously, it would have been nice if he would have cropped out the teleconference screens that labeled CIA and Doha station, which basically showed the rest of the world where all of our intelligence assets were.

00:58:34.000 Did this on two separate occasions, almost like he was giving our enemies a heads up of, oh, hey, here's where all of our intelligent assets are.

00:58:42.000 Again, I refuse to believe this is incompetent.

00:58:44.000 I believe this is internal and deliberate sabotage by Joe Biden because he hates his voters.

00:58:50.000 He doesn't hate his voters, just hates the citizens.

00:58:53.000 He declared war on us when he gave his inaugural address.

00:58:57.000 He did.

00:58:58.000 He said, this is a domestic war that we are going to win.

00:59:01.000 But then there's this really interesting thing that came out because they have these world clocks on the top of the screens.

00:59:10.000 And the clocks are wrong.

00:59:12.000 And the issue with the clocks are showing London and Moscow are three hours apart.

00:59:16.000 But those cities are actually two hours apart.

00:59:19.000 So either the photo is wrong or the clocks at Camp David are wrong, which is really scary that our own military can't even get clocks right.

00:59:29.000 It should be noted that while Tehran is shown as a half hour difference from Moscow, it's actually an hour and a half difference.

00:59:36.000 For whatever reason, that's also wrong.

00:59:39.000 And so some people are saying he's not at Camp David because the whole TV is photoshopped and the current time difference is two hours.

00:59:46.000 So this picture could not have been taken today.

00:59:48.000 But that doesn't explain anything.

00:59:50.000 I just think the clocks are wrong.

00:59:53.000 Before March, London and Moscow have a three-hour time difference because of daylight savings.

00:59:57.000 Got it.

00:59:58.000 So they do change.

00:59:58.000 It's like an Arizona thing.

00:59:59.000 So it's not always a constant differential.

01:00:01.000 Got it.

01:00:02.000 Okay.

01:00:03.000 I stand corrected on that.

01:00:04.000 So basically, either this is an old photo or the military doesn't update their clocks, which is also equally stunning and scary because aren't like nuclear codes kind of tied to clockwork, but that's a whole different conversation for a different time.

01:00:17.000 So no one knows what's really going on in Afghanistan, but we know one of two things.

01:00:21.000 Either Joe Biden photoshopped an old photo to show that he was in Camp David and he wasn't, or the military can't even keep precise clocks.

01:00:31.000 I actually think that it's the military that can't keep precise clocks.

01:00:34.000 They're too busy trying to teach white fragility, Robin DiAngelo.

01:00:38.000 And I mean, it's an embarrassment, honestly.

01:00:43.000 It's an embarrassment what just happened in Afghanistan.

01:00:47.000 What does CNN have right now?

01:00:48.000 School official, math and unmasked students won't mix.

01:00:52.000 That's why we get conquered so quickly, or why Kabul does.

01:00:56.000 So we're going to keep on going through this story.

01:00:57.000 It's very interesting.

01:00:58.000 The Biden administration's ignoring it.

01:01:01.000 I don't know.

01:01:02.000 It's really interesting that if you tell the truth, it's easier to remember.

01:01:08.000 So either the military is totally incompetent with this, or there's something else going on that we don't know about.

01:01:17.000 Maybe Joe will address it during his press conference about how clocks are not on time.

01:01:23.000 Joe Biden's doing a conference this afternoon, which does interrupt with his afternoon nap.

01:01:32.000 Remember all the conspiracy theories when Trump, they said Trump had COVID because he posted fake pictures?

01:01:37.000 And the Washington Post and New York Times played into that?

01:01:42.000 If only we had real journalists in this country.

01:01:45.000 And the way they're going to make good for it is the same way that they celebrate the census.

01:01:50.000 Go bring over 500,000 new Elon Omars from Afghanistan.

01:01:54.000 That's what they're going to say.

01:01:57.000 A lot of people ask me, Charlie, how do you know so much about American history?

01:02:01.000 The answer is not from school.

01:02:03.000 As many of you know, I did not go to formal college, actually.

01:02:06.000 I didn't go to college at all.

01:02:08.000 So my education has been a process.

01:02:11.000 I've always been committed to learning and diving deep into ideas.

01:02:15.000 And one source of truth and knowledge has been the greatest partner in that pursuit of learning.

01:02:24.000 And that is Hillsdale College.

01:02:26.000 American history and civics education.

01:02:29.000 They're quite honestly at a turning point.

01:02:31.000 And the Hillsdale 1776 curriculum, they are teaching the truth.

01:02:37.000 And they have downloadable curriculum for you and your children for free at k12.hillsdale.edu.

01:02:45.000 That's k12.hillsdale.edu.

01:02:48.000 And you could take online courses.

01:02:51.000 So I, every single day, I do my best to try to schedule at least 30 minutes to an hour to take some online courses.

01:02:59.000 So I have my certificate.

01:03:01.000 I have passed the course in Constitution 101, the intro to the Constitution.

01:03:07.000 I'm about to finish the introduction to Western philosophy.

01:03:10.000 I finished the introduction to Aristotle, How to Live a Good Life.

01:03:13.000 And they have a new one called The Great American Story that I'm taking, and it's phenomenal.

01:03:18.000 If you say, Charlie, how do I get my kids to know history?

01:03:21.000 Literally pay them to take these courses.

01:03:22.000 It's that good.

01:03:35.000 Maybe you're a fan of Shakespeare.

01:03:37.000 They have a course on that, Hamlet and the Temptest.

01:04:54.000 Please check it out right now.

01:04:59.000 Where are we headed with the Chinese coronavirus lockdowns as we continue to watch the fall of Kabul?

01:05:07.000 Well, we're headed in a direction very similar to where Australia already is.

01:05:12.000 I'm reading from NPR: Australian soldiers are joining local police in New South Wales to enforce a coronavirus lockdown.

01:05:19.000 Starting Monday, some 300 unarmed soldiers will begin patrols in Sydney, a city of 6 million people.

01:05:27.000 On Wednesday, Sydney extended a lockdown by a month up until August 28th.

01:05:33.000 There's 170 cases.

01:05:34.000 That's right.

01:05:35.000 They mobilized the military for 170 cases.

01:05:40.000 Listen to this tape right here as we see Australia go full Orwellian, police in the streets, martial law play tape.

01:05:48.000 There will be no removal of masks to consume alcohol outdoors.

01:05:54.000 So you will no longer be able to remove your mask to drink a cocktail at a pop-up beer garden on a footpath as part of a pub crawl.

01:06:05.000 0.04% death rate, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine.

01:06:11.000 What about people that have already had it?

01:06:12.000 Australia doesn't care, nor does New York City.

01:06:16.000 Bill de Blasio announces that if you do not have the vaccine passport, you cannot go to movie theaters, live music, concert venues, museums and galleries, aquariums and zoos, professional sports arenas, stadiums, convention centers, exhibition halls, performing art theaters, bowling alleys, arcades, pool and billiard halls, recreational game centers, casinos, or adult entertainment.

01:06:44.000 Yeah, right.

01:06:45.000 You can't go to restaurants, catering halls, event spaces, hotel banquet rooms, bars, cabarets, nightclubs, cafeterias, grocery stores with indoor dining, bakeries, coffee shops, fast food or quick service with indoor dining.

01:06:59.000 You can't go to gyms, fitness centers, fitness classes, pools, indoor studios, dance studios, or sport classes.

01:07:05.000 That's New York City with Bill de Blasio.

01:07:07.000 And you know that 27%, only 27% of blacks in New York City are vaccinated.

01:07:12.000 That is Jim Crow 2.0.

01:07:15.000 That is institutional systemic racism on behalf of the Democrat Party.

01:07:21.000 Now, if Republicans were smart, which they aren't, they're too busy celebrating an infrastructure package with Joe Biden.

01:07:28.000 And that's what's happened with your elected officials.

01:07:29.000 And you all know that.

01:07:31.000 You have Republicans while Afghanistan falls.

01:07:34.000 We're humiliated on the world stage.

01:07:35.000 Our border is wide open.

01:07:37.000 We have lockdowns as far as the eye can see.

01:07:39.000 They try to negotiate in good faith with Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden.

01:07:43.000 If Republicans were smart, obviously they wouldn't be doing that, and they would actually respect their voters.

01:07:48.000 Instead, they would say, you know what?

01:07:50.000 What a great opportunity to go win over the black population in this country.

01:07:54.000 Now, people ask me all the time, Charlie, how do we win over black voters?

01:07:56.000 How about you defend them from the overreach of mandatory vaccines?

01:08:00.000 If the Republican Party was smart, they could win over 73% of black voters.

01:08:04.000 You know, 73% of all blacks across the country have refused the vaccine.

01:08:08.000 They're skeptical of it.

01:08:10.000 Wouldn't that be a smart decision for Republicans to say, you know what, we are going to stand up for medical freedom and autonomy.

01:08:17.000 Your body, your choice.

01:08:19.000 Welcome to the Republican Party.

01:08:20.000 Instead, you have Lindsey Graham giving a speech.

01:08:25.000 I mean, Lindsey Graham is going to be all over television in the next couple of days.

01:08:28.000 I told you that we should have been occupying Afghanistan till 2530.

01:08:35.000 Because I just love all those big misses being dropping on all of them.

01:08:38.000 There's never been a war, I don't lie.

01:08:40.000 We should go invade Venezuela as a response.

01:08:42.000 Okay, Lindsey Graham.

01:08:44.000 Lindsey Graham going out saying that everyone needs to go get vaccinated.

01:08:50.000 Republicans have this beautiful opportunity.

01:08:52.000 You can go win over Hispanic and black voters about the overreach of government and corporate oligarchy.

01:08:59.000 You have a white mayor in New York City saying to black New Yorkers, you're not allowed to go to restaurants, gyms, and fitness centers that 73% of blacks are not welcome.

01:09:10.000 And Republicans miss one of the greatest political openings we've ever seen.

01:09:14.000 Republicans have always said, how do we win over black voters?

01:09:17.000 Well, this one's not hard.

01:09:18.000 Defend them.

01:09:21.000 By the way, they are right, blacks are, to distrust the government about public health.

01:09:27.000 In fact, what's amazing is that Democrats say, we need to listen to black voices.

01:09:31.000 We need to listen to black voices.

01:09:33.000 We need to have more black voices represented.

01:09:35.000 They never want that.

01:09:36.000 They want black voices as proxies for a white liberal agenda.

01:09:39.000 If they actually wanted to listen to black voices, they would stop the mandatory vaccine push.

01:09:44.000 Shouldn't we listen to black voices and the wisdom that they have towards forcing people to get a vaccine against their will?

01:09:48.000 Instead, they don't care about them in this issue.

01:09:51.000 It's really a shame.

01:09:52.000 What a great opportunity that could have been if the Republican Party decided to stand for medical freedom and not for authoritarianism.
