00:00:48.000And so we have Kaylee McInani, Ted Cruz, Laura Ingram, Josh Hawley, Greg Gutfeld, Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kat Temp, Pete Hegseth, Byron Donalds, Ben Carson, Rick Scott, Lauren Boebert, Governor Kevin Stitt, Kat Kamack, Matt Gates, Jack Pesobic, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Sean Foyt, and more.
00:01:06.000And then we also have Turning Point Action hosting Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.
00:02:08.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:17.000That's why we are here, brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew And Todd at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrewandtodd.com.
00:02:29.000We're going to talk about being proud of being an American.
00:02:34.000You just spent an entire month focused on pride Lgbtqi, A plus pride.
00:02:42.000We were told that we must not just tolerate, not just accept, not just celebrate, but we must participate in these mass prides of drag queens and children, exploitation and all this nonsense.
00:03:00.000As they would say in Seinfeld, just come on, put the ribbon on, and there's a new poll out that we're going to kind of focus on for a little bit, and I I have a take on this that I never thought I would have.
00:03:11.000National pride is down, with majorities of Republicans and independents.
00:03:14.000I'm reading from Foxnews.com and nearly half of Democrats feeling dissatisfied with their country, according to the latest FOX NEWS survey.
00:03:21.000The poll released thursday asked registered voters, are you proud of the country today?
00:04:29.000They were more likely to be proud in 2017 by 22 points, whereas now they're not proud by 14 points.
00:04:35.000Women were dissatisfied in 2017 and remain so today, but by a much wider margin.
00:04:41.000They were not proud by nine points five years ago versus 21 points today.
00:04:44.000Oh, women are getting less thankful towards America.
00:04:47.000It's interesting, because women have actually succeeded more than men over the last decade.
00:04:51.000More job promotions, more college degrees, more diplomas, more wealth increases, more cats, more dogs, less marriages, less children, and you're less happy with your country.
00:05:00.000Hispanic voters have actually become less proud of America.
00:05:05.000In June of 2017, 57% were proud, and now 35% are proud.
00:05:13.000Whereas once being proud of America was treated as a prerequisite for being patriotic, that has too succumbed by partisanship.
00:05:20.000It seems for many pride and patriotism are no longer about democratic freedoms, but about the person in the White House, says the low IQ pollster Chris Anderson, who never has an independent thought in his mind.
00:05:34.000Republicans, conservatives, and free thinkers are not any less proud of the country because of Joe Biden.
00:05:45.000And I think we have to make a differentiation here.
00:05:48.000There's a difference between being proud of America and where it is and proud of being an American and the journey and the story and the history, the tradition, the culture, the background, the heroism and the courage.
00:07:16.000What the heck happened over the last decade?
00:07:20.000One decade, 11 years of leadership of a generation that had waited so long to come into power and 30-point dip in whether or not people are proud of where their country is.
00:07:35.000It's reckless deficit spending, inflating the currency, adventurous foreign wars, the lies and the deceit of our politicians and leaders in Washington, D.C., the disgust that we have for the American ruling class.
00:07:52.000I believe, as I would love to hear your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com, I believe it's intentional.
00:07:59.000I believe they want you to feel this way.
00:08:03.000I believe they are trying to metaphorically waterboard you to make it feel as if we have zero parts of America to be proud of.
00:08:12.000We have a 30-day pride month of LGBTQIA rainbow stuff, followed by a three-day weekend for American pride.
00:08:20.000Are you proud after the Afghanistan debacle, one of the most humiliating defeats in American military history, where 13 Marines were bombed by a terrorist?
00:08:31.000And then what does Joe Biden do in response?
00:08:33.000He carpet bombs an innocent family just because he wanted to look good, and there was zero reason to do that, just a random drone strike.
00:08:42.000Are you proud of our open border where 5,000 people come into our country every single day?
00:08:48.000Are you proud of the fact that we now have to vaccinate six months-year-old with an experimental gene therapy, even though we're the only country that's doing that in the world?
00:08:56.000By the way, there could be anywhere between 7,000 to 8,000 people crossing into our border every single day.
00:09:03.0003 million a year, according to Chad Wolf.
00:09:28.000And here's the one thing I just want to make sure we're all clear about: we can be thankful and we should.
00:09:33.000And we can be respectful and we should.
00:09:36.000And we should be filled with gratitude to the Lord that we get to live in this country, a country that still has a little flicker of self-government, that still has a little bit of crumbs of checks and balances, that we still have a court that somewhat still operates.
00:09:51.000But we need to be honest with ourselves.
00:09:54.000We need to be honest with where we are as a country.
00:09:57.000We need to be honest with where we are as a nation.
00:10:41.000But man, when I see the U.S. Navy putting forward that commercial about how to use proper pronouns, when I see drag queen operations at an Air Force base, when I see critical race theory being taught at West Point, I get very angry.
00:10:54.000And I'm ashamed that that's happening in America.
00:10:57.000I know many people feel the exact same way.
00:11:16.000I want to interface with you and see if there's a massive gap that I'm missing.
00:11:20.000But when I see people that are allies of President Trump get their apartments raided, moms and dads get called domestic terrorists by our government, the Department of Justice, when I see assassination attempts against Brett Kavanaugh, nonstop illegal protests outside of the Supreme Court justices' homes, when I see people like Sussman walk free and Peter Strzok and James Comey and Lisa Page do whatever they want with no justice, Hillary Clinton cackles her way all the way to the bank.
00:11:49.000When I see a show trial when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghelaine, well, Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself, and Ghelaine Maxwell with the show trial, and yet we're raiding Trump allies' apartments, and I see the following: this is the new Navy logo they had on social media: Gay Pride Rainbow.
00:12:06.000This is some new person that's working in the Department of Energy, a man who thinks he's a woman, flamboyantly showing off the new shoes.
00:12:15.000The rear admiral that has a gay flag during Pride Month, being, and they're wondering why U.S. military enrollment is going down to record low levels post-Vietnam, the lowest it has since the 1970s.
00:12:29.000I'm so thankful I get to live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:12:41.000Where we allow the chemical castration of children, we teach pornographic curriculum to children, where you have the rear admiral of the Navy or whatever say that, you know, yeah, the hormone blocking therapy is perfectly, perfectly fine.
00:13:21.000Look, we talk about current events a lot on this show, but there's other things that are in life that are bigger than current events, bigger things.
00:13:26.000We try to do some shows every so often on these things.
00:13:30.000But look, what am I talking about when I say that?
00:13:33.000Right and wrong, prayer and the Bible or heaven and hell.
00:13:36.000So look, the great C.S. Lewis, who's one of the most amazing minds ever to exist, was a master at addressing these questions.
00:13:45.000And that is why Hillsdale College, the great college, the only college, in my opinion, wants you to learn more about him and his writings and their newest free online course, C.S. Lewis on Christianity.
00:13:57.000And it all starts with taking a short quiz to find out how much you already know about Lewis.
00:14:02.000He wrote more than the Narnia series, by the way.
00:18:18.000I wanted to ask you, Eddie, we're coming up, obviously, on the 4th of July weekend yesterday on Twitter.
00:18:24.000I said, despite all of our failings, despite all of our shortcomings, why are you proud, even with all of our flaws, why are you proud to be an American?
00:18:34.000I'm curious, what are your thoughts going into this 4th of July weekend on pride and being an American?
00:18:42.000You know, 4th of July has always been an incredibly vexed holiday for me, given the tradition out of which I come.
00:18:50.000It's framed by Juneteenth, the way in which we struggle with the legacies of slavery.
00:19:50.000I have nothing in common with any of these people.
00:19:53.000And that's not the country I grew up in.
00:19:56.000It used to be that the really weird psychos would not celebrate July 4th, but even kind of like Leonardo DiCaprio and those people would be like, okay, July 4th, fine.
00:20:15.000Can we have a weekend, please, without you lecturing us?
00:20:21.000Look, free speech, religious liberty, and the Second Amendment.
00:20:24.000Our rights are being destroyed across the board.
00:20:27.000And look, many months ago, I told our team, I am sick of paying all this money to these cell phone providers that hate me and hate our values.
00:20:36.000So I said, go find that really cheerful guy.
00:20:39.000I think his name is Glenn at one of our events, and he kept on wearing the Patriot Mobile shirt.
00:20:45.000And I vetted Patriot Mobile head to toe.
00:20:48.000Their business model, how they do things.
00:20:51.000And I was convinced that we must partner with them.
00:20:54.000They're not only America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider, they're one of the few companies fighting back.
00:20:58.000They offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carrier.
00:21:01.000So you get the same great service plus the peace of mind, and your money is combating the left's attempt to silence you.
00:21:06.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:21:14.000Patriot Mobile shares your values, and they support organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, like Turning Point USA, and veteran and first responder heroes.
00:21:26.000If you have a big major carrier, you are funding the bad guys.
00:21:30.000That money might as well be a check, Democrat, National Committee, or you could have it go to Patriot Mobile, where they give their proceeds back to Turning Point USA, veterans, and amazing groups.
00:23:17.000A country that masks children, that shut down schools, a country that mandated vaccines, a country that kicks out active duty personnel because they don't take the experimental gene therapy.
00:23:28.000A country that targets moms and dads that show up at school board meetings and calls them domestic terrorists.
00:23:33.000A country that tolerates the intolerable.
00:24:11.000We have political prisoners in solitary confinement because they went into the Capitol Rotunda and took a selfie.
00:24:17.000Yet we have BLM rioters that never saw an indictment, let alone a day in prison when they burned down our entire country.
00:24:24.000We were told America was systemically racist from within because of George Floyd.
00:24:29.000We burnt down entire cities, civilizations, tried to lock up an innocent kid because of that Kyle Rittenhouse, never got an apology, never got recourse from the government for any of that.
00:24:40.000Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, an American hero, had two years of his life stolen from him and his fortune and his savings nearly robbed of him by a government that could just do this for fun and play with house money.
00:25:12.000And you look at this and you say, what on earth?
00:25:14.000And so this July 4th, typically it's a celebration of the country.
00:25:18.000And I think for a lot of you, you'll be in the same position as me, where you're going to be kind of looking backwards more than where you are today.
00:25:27.000Not that you aren't thankful to live in America.
00:25:29.000Not that you aren't thankful for the blessings that you have.
00:25:34.000I mean, every morning I force myself, it's like going to 38-degree water.
00:25:38.000I force myself to list off what I'm thankful for.
00:25:40.000I go through my gratitude journal when you're in pain.
00:25:43.000It's a good lesson for life to actually, when you're going through something you don't want to go through, to say, I'm thankful for my wife.
00:27:24.000So I'm not taking credit for any of it.
00:27:26.000And so I look around, I say, my goodness, as someone who's receiving this, we are shattering it intentionally from within.
00:27:35.000And I believe firmly that the agenda of the opposition is to get us to feel this way.
00:27:41.000And so the question is: do we force ourselves to feel differently, or are we honest enough to say that we are not going to be delusional that somehow we're in this wonderful place?
00:27:51.000Now, I'm not saying that our best days can't be ahead.
00:27:53.000I'm not saying you should be unhappy, by the way.
00:27:55.000That's a totally different happiness, it is a choice.
00:27:59.000That happiness is a mode of action, that your attitude has to be one of positivity and problem solving.
00:28:05.000But instead, don't tell me it's sunny in 85 degrees when there's a blizzard.
00:28:13.000You can't live under this mass paralysis of delusion.
00:28:16.000It's unhealthy for you, it's unhealthy for the country, and it makes us less likely to reclaim it and get back where we are.
00:28:21.000Do I think inevitably we are going to win?
00:30:06.000They, for the first time ever, when the Declaration of Independence, which is what we're celebrating this weekend, they put the authority of the government outside of the government.
00:30:15.000Are you a citizen or are you a serf or a subject or a slave?
00:30:20.000You see, the Declaration recognized power dynamics.
00:30:23.000That's what we celebrate this weekend.
00:30:26.000The Declaration realized that the power needs to be in you.
00:30:58.000It took us to win in 2016, put Supreme Court justices in, confirm them, listen to cases, find the suits up to the Supreme Court, and then rule favorably.
00:31:06.000We're talking about where we are right now.
00:31:13.000And I actually think the amount of response we're receiving at freedom at charliekirk.com and how we're interpreting this, it's actually a positive.
00:31:25.000It means that the delusion is breaking.
00:31:27.000It makes you wonder how far what's actually been lost.
00:31:30.000It's just how much are we realizing it right now?
00:31:33.000I'm not saying America's totally lost.
00:31:37.000But for the people that are most likely to be proud of the American, I'm the one that flies the American flag outside of the house and marches in the parade and wears the American shirt.
00:31:46.000And I kind of look at this and I say, the America I used to know is one thing.
00:31:50.000So maybe I'm wearing it with a sense of nostalgia, kind of like I'm wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt from the 1970s.
00:31:59.000And you got to wonder, like, are we going to put the band back together?
00:32:04.000It's kind of those people that wear the 85 Bear shirts in Chicago.
00:33:44.000You should not be proud of the country if it goes completely off the rails.
00:33:47.000You shouldn't be proud of the country that begins to do things that are completely immoral to your values and your perspectives on the world.
00:33:58.000Yes, I'm disgusted with where America is.
00:34:00.000I'm aghast by all this, but we still have some awesome people, man.
00:34:03.000And you are, you watching, you listening.
00:34:06.000The American people are the best in the world.
00:34:20.000As I'm asking you, are you proud of the state of America with remembering a great American who had courage and leaves a legacy of action for all of us?
00:35:06.000I want to remember Dr. Zelenko because as I am ashamed and as I am angry of where America is, there is this massive glimmer of hope of people like Dr. Zolenko who fought with everything they could and continue to fight to save the country.
00:35:22.000Because here's the thing, everything I just went through is not a death sentence.
00:36:01.000If I bow down to God, I don't bow down to them.
00:36:04.000And so they want to take our consciousness and use fear to cause us to deviate from our faith and put our faith into them.
00:36:16.000It's a cult to be codependent on them instead of on our Creator.
00:36:22.000So Dr. Zelenko started out treating patients, but over time found that the CDC and FDA were suppressing early treatments.
00:36:28.000Dr. Zelenko was one of the pioneers that had the courage and basically the clairvoyance to fight for early interventions with COVID, saving God knows how many lives away from government mandates and edicts.
00:36:42.000He was one of the 18 members, as we call it on this show.
00:36:46.000Dr. Zelenko, one of his final messages, denounce the false gods of technology and science and turn back to our true creator, an Orthodox Jew with eight children, play cut 151.
00:36:57.000Until we make internal resolutions to kick the evil out from within us, we should, in my opinion, denounce the worship of false gods, the God of technology, the God of science, the God of corrupt governments, money, power, fame, and reconcile our hearts with our creator who's making us anew every instant in time.
00:37:26.000Finally, his final words, if I have to leave the world, I accept God, and I will encourage and plead with every one of us to step up your game and stand up and resist.
