00:01:09.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:15.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:47.000I understand his political instincts, and I think I have a very good understanding of how he would make this decision.
00:01:53.000And I think it is likely the president will select Amy Coney Barrett.
00:01:57.000Now, the other person who is in contention is also Barbara Lagoa, Judge Barbara Lagoa from Florida, who, according to my sources and people that I talk to that I know very well in kind of the judge selection world, they think very highly of Barbara Lagoa.
00:02:33.000Absolute guarantee for her religious views.
00:02:36.000In fact, let's go back in time just to remember how Dianne Feinstein treated Amy Coney Barrett and her Catholic beliefs during her Senate confirmation hearing.
00:04:06.000There is something that is different about the president to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat than Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.
00:04:13.000Each one of those just raises the temperature a little bit more than the other one.
00:04:18.000Neil Gorsuch was filling Antonin Scalia's seat.
00:04:22.000That was putting a conservative to fill a conservative.
00:04:26.000Brett Kavanaugh was to fill Justice Kennedy's seat.
00:04:30.000That was a conservative to fill a swing voter, but who did rule conservatively generally?
00:04:37.000To put Amy Coney Barrett or Judge Lagoa in this seat would go from a textualist or an activist judge to the complete opposite, to a constitutionalist judge.
00:04:51.000This is taking one off the table for the Democrats and for leftists and putting one in the category for those of us that appreciate and love the United States Constitution.
00:05:02.000And so as we look at the list of candidates here, it's very important to remember that Senator Lisa Murkowski and Senator Susan Collins have signaled that they will not support a vote before the election.
00:05:15.000That brings the majority for the Senate Republicans down to a very narrow margin, and that means they can't lose many more votes.
00:05:22.000So thankfully, we have lost Senator Jeff Flake, who never lost an opportunity to try to betray the president.
00:05:30.000He did end up voting for Judge Kavanaugh.
00:05:32.000But generally, Senator Jeff Flake was a complete and total disappointment from the great state of Arizona, of which where we are broadcasting this podcast to you right now.
00:05:42.000And I think it's very important to also realize that Mitt Romney might betray the president.
00:05:47.000So this might go to 50 votes quicker than most realize.
00:05:52.000So as you look at the threats that the Democrats are putting towards the president, it is nothing more than a metaphorical hostage situation of how the Democrats are treating this judge justice confirmation fight.
00:06:10.000Chuck Schumer, as he did a press conference with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that's right.
00:06:15.000Chuck Schumer is now teaming up with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, probably because he's afraid to be primaried by her at a future date, basically said that nothing would be off the table.
00:06:25.000In fact, he even talked about packing the Supreme Court play tape.
00:06:29.000And these are procedures that are in decisions that are largely up to House Democratic leadership.
00:06:36.000But I believe that also we must consider, again, all of the tools available to our disposal and that all of these options should be entertained and on the table.
00:06:47.000Nancy Pelosi, when she was on with George Stephanopoulos, we played this tape on a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show.
00:06:54.000She said she would not dismiss the idea of President Trump going through another impeachment.
00:07:02.000In fact, Nancy Pelosi said that President Trump can be impeached for anything at any time for any reason.
00:07:12.000Some have mentioned the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session that you in the House could move to impeach President Trump or Attorney General Barr as a way of stalling and preventing the Senate from acting on this nomination.
00:07:29.000We have arrows in our quiver that I'm not about to discuss right now.
00:07:34.000So the Democrats are now basically acting like infants.
00:07:40.000They're embracing their inner Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who always said he would value the infant over the adult or the primitive over the civilized.
00:07:48.000Where if they do not get their way, they are saying they will blow up precedent.
00:07:55.000They will make changes to the American landscape.
00:07:58.000They will pack the courts and impeach the president.
00:08:02.000For this reason, this is one of the best reasons as to why President Trump should fill this seat.
00:08:13.000You see, if the Democrats were saying, you know what, you have a right to fill this seat.
00:08:19.000We don't think it's a good thing to have a 4-4 split on the United States Supreme Court heading into a likely contested presidential election.
00:08:30.000Therefore, we are of the opinion that if you try to fill the seat with a conservative, we will block it, but we're not going to pack the courts.
00:08:39.000We're not going to impeach the president.
00:08:44.000Instead, the Democrats are going complete and total scorched earth.
00:08:49.000Instead, the Democrats are of the opinion that if you dare not do what we tell you to do, we are going to metaphorically start shooting prisoners.
00:08:58.000To use the Hofshat situation, we are going to start blowing things up.
00:09:02.000In fact, many Democrats have said that they are going to do more riots, bigger riots, and more violent riots.
00:09:11.000So Newt Gingrich said, quote, if President Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, Notre Dame law professor and appeals court judge, mother of seven, two of which were adopted from Haiti, clerk for Scalia and devout Catholic, it will pose a unique challenge for Kamala Harris, the most anti-Catholic bigot nominated in over a century, tweeted Gingrich.
00:09:29.000Quote, Are Democrats prepared to say a devout Catholic is by definition unfit to serve on the Supreme Court?
00:09:36.000Quote, if no pro-life justice is acceptable, then no faithful Catholic, evangelical, or Orthodox Jew can be considered.
00:09:44.000Are Democrats really prepared to alienate that many Americans?
00:09:49.000So what was the basis for Newt Gingrich saying this?
00:09:51.000Well, it's based in when Kamala Harris said that Brian Boucher, upon his confirmation, the federal bench said, quote, Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman's right to choose when you joined the organization?
00:10:06.000Kamala Harris cares more about whether or not an organization has a stance on the termination of innocent life than whether or not an organization is actually helping the poor.
00:10:17.000The Catholic Church is the largest religious body in the United States.
00:10:21.000There are some 51 million people who self-describe themselves as Catholic.
00:10:26.000This will not play well in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, or Arizona, or even Minnesota, states that have sizable Catholic populations.
00:10:37.000And of course, a senator asking a judicial nominee to pass a religious litmus test is blatantly unconstitutional.
00:10:45.000And for this reason, if the president nominates either Amy Coney Barrett or Barbara Lagoa, both of which are Catholics, and both of which will be assailed and attacked by Senate Democrats for their deeply held religious beliefs, the United States Constitution clearly states, quote, no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
00:11:13.000So as these are still rumors and they are bumbling up, it is important to recognize and realize, as the president now has his two finalists, both of which will assuredly be character assassinated by the Democrats.
00:11:28.000The Democrats are saying they are going to blow up the process and the procedure of how we nominate judges and justices.
00:11:35.000They say they will scream in the streets.
00:12:09.000We are not going to be held hostage by your extortion.
00:12:13.000It is a dark day in America when a party does not get what they want.
00:12:18.000They will resort to physical violence, the changing of the nine-member Supreme Court to go back to FDR court stuffing, and also impeaching the president.
00:12:28.000We'll keep a close eye on this, but whether it's Amy Coby Barrett or Barbara Lagoa, it's going to be a fight unlike any of us have ever seen before.
00:12:39.000Are you sick and tired of overpaying for basic services, home internet, cable utilities?
00:12:43.000And then, of course, there's your cell phone bill.
00:12:45.000Who's your wireless provider, ATT, Verizon, or T-Mobile?
00:13:16.000So why is it so much cheaper than all the big box ones, AT ⁇ T, Verizon, and T-Mobile?
00:13:21.000No retail stores, no billion-dollar a year ad campaigns, no value adds to your contract that you end up paying for.
00:13:27.000Their customer service is right here in the United States.
00:13:29.000Their CEO is a U.S. veteran who understands what it means to serve this country.
00:13:33.000So here's the deal: grab your mobile phone, dial pound250 and say keyword Charlie Kirk, and you'll save $250 off any iPhone, including the new iPhone SE.
00:13:41.000That's pound250 and say keyword, Charlie Kirk.
00:13:44.000Peer Talk USA, simply smarter, wireless.
00:13:51.000So I want to single out Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education.
00:13:54.000She did an incredible thing the other day.
00:13:57.000So as you know, there is a pattern of almost an apology tour for Democrats, university presidents, and members of the media to continue to say that America is a racist country, that our institutions are racist, and basically indulging in critical race theory.
00:14:16.000We have talked about critical race theory at length here on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:14:21.000And critical race theory is rooted in the idea that melanin is your master.
00:14:25.000There's no such thing as individuals, that racism is everywhere.
00:14:30.000It is a pseudo-Marxist organization, and that group identity matters.
00:14:35.000And finally, if you do not agree with the critical race theorists, if you do not agree with the demands of BLM Incorporated, you are an awful person and we will punish you.
00:14:45.000And so there's an incredible story that Secretary Betsy DeVos deserves a lot of credit for.
00:14:52.000And then activist media has completely abdicated its role to inform the American people as to what's happening.
00:15:01.000It involves Princeton, allegedly the greatest school on the planet.
00:15:07.000So using the left's logic against them and doing it skillfully is one of the most satisfying things to watch unfold.
00:15:16.000For example, the Democrats say they want reparations, then go ahead, Democrat Party, go pay the reparations for being the slave-owning, KKK, 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendment opposing civil rights filibustering party that we all know you are.
00:16:14.000Quote: The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation following the school's president's declaration that racism was embedded in the institution.
00:16:24.000President Christopher L. Eisgrube published an open letter earlier this month claiming that, quote, racism and the damage it does to the people of color persist at Princeton and that, quote, racist assumptions are, quote, embedded in the structures of the university itself.
00:16:45.000So, to play this out, Princeton is saying to its own admission, they're saying they're guilty.
00:16:51.000The president of a 274-year-old prestigious Ivy League institution, President Eisgruber, has drawn into question the legality of the tens of millions of dollars of federal funds of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
00:17:10.000Well, if President Eisgruber is telling the truth and he is truly admitting guilt and fault, then if Princeton is truly a racist institution to its core and continues to be, then they are in violation of federal law.
00:17:30.000That act states clearly that, quote, no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in and be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
00:17:48.000So, Betsy DeVos may be trolling here, but I actually think that this is a master stroke of brilliance.
00:17:57.000So, now Princeton, which indulges itself publicly and privately in the white guilt liberal institution behavioral pattern, they now have to pay a real price for stoking a race war in this country and for pushing tribal identity politics down the throats of American students.
00:18:19.000If they truly are racist, they should lose their federal funds and they should go to jail for violating Section 6 of the Civil Rights Act.
00:18:28.000Perhaps they then have to repay the tens of millions of dollars back to the American taxpayer to help fund the 1776 Commission, which we'll get to in just a second.
00:18:39.000Now, we all know that they have the money.
00:18:41.000They have billions of dollars in their endowment.
00:18:45.000As of 2019, $26.1 billion in the Princeton University endowment.
00:18:50.000Despite this, they still charge full tuition to their students, anywhere between $70,000 to $75,000 a year.
00:18:57.000Students continually go into debt to try to go to Princeton.
00:19:00.000That doesn't count room and board and travel and other costs.
00:19:04.000So now Princeton has said they're systemically racist.
00:19:08.000If they're truly systemically racist, why do black people continue to go to Princeton if it's such an awful place?
00:19:15.000America is not systemically racist, and these institutions are not systemically racist.
00:19:20.000But Princeton should be investigated if they truly are.
00:19:23.000And they should have to repay the money that they've been paid by taxpayers, and they should have to spend down their endowment.
00:19:30.000I'll tell you a country that is systemically something: Iran.
00:19:46.000They leave France to Canada, the United States, and Israel.
00:19:52.000People of a certain ethnic or religious group or cultural identity will not go to a place that is systemically awful.
00:20:00.000That's why Christians don't go out of their way to go to Iran or China or North Korea.
00:20:06.000That is why over 2 million people have legally immigrated to the United States from Africa in the last 30 years and 1 million people from the Caribbean, all being of black skin color.
00:20:19.000Do you know that the average Nigerian American earns more income per capita per family than the average American?
00:20:28.000$52,000 a year where the average American earns $50,000 a year.
00:20:33.000If America was systemically racist and if white privilege existed, why do Nigerian Americans do so well in our country?
00:20:41.000And even the left-wing publication, Ozzy, says the most successful ethnic group in the United States may surprise you, Nigerian Americans.
00:20:52.000According to Kansas University, who they themselves say that systemic racism exists, says, quote, study shows African immigrants in the United States do well despite differences among them.
00:21:05.000This is the 23rd of June, 2020, just a couple of weeks after the quote-unquote racial reckoning in our country that says, again, despite the idea of systemic racism, despite the idea of us being rotten to the core, despite the idea that black people cannot succeed, even Kansas University, the University of Kansas, KU.edu, had said that, quote,
00:21:34.000studies show that African Americans in the United States do well.
00:21:39.000All of this should be very obvious intellectual ammunition for you to be able to refute and debunk the idea that America is a systemically racist country from within, that we're rotten to the core.
00:21:54.000If we were systemically awful, then no black people would want to come to America, just like how no Jewish people or Christian people want to go to Iran.
00:22:05.000I want one leftist to please email us at freedomatcharlikirk.com and explain to me that if you believe America is systemically awful and the institutions were built for white people, why is it that Nigerian immigrants do so much better on average than just average Americans do?
00:22:24.000And that includes white Americans as well.
00:22:27.000It's because the idea of white privilege is a preposterous idea.
00:22:37.000I could continue on with the adjectives.
00:22:40.000But white privilege is rooted in this idea of judging people based on their immutable, God-given characteristics.
00:22:49.000It's based on judging people on things they cannot control.
00:22:55.000The United States Constitution was not written to favor one ethnic group, despite what your professor or teacher might say.
00:23:03.000This is why Asian Americans are the richest per group, immigrant, ethnic, or cultural group, or racial group in the United States.
00:23:13.000According to finance.yahoo.com, it says the U.S. could actually use more Nigerian immigrants, according to Bloomberg.
00:23:23.000So Bloomberg, the same website that will continue to propagandize the American people that we are so systemically racist, that we are awful, actually says we need more Nigerian immigrants.
00:23:37.000So, if Bloomberg believes we are systemically racist, of which they write about quite often, and they're saying we want more Nigerian immigrants, there's only two ways to interpret this.
00:23:50.000Bloomberg wants Nigerian immigrants to come to a place where they will be discriminated against and hated.
00:23:57.000Or, number two, Bloomberg doesn't actually believe that we are systemically racist, that they are repeating this Robin DiAngelo, Nicole Hannah-Jones, white fragility, 1619 project propaganda narrative that people of color cannot succeed in this country.
00:24:21.000We know this through empirical data, we know this through experience, and we know this through a thing that we have lost in our country called common sense.
00:24:30.000But if you just look at the landscape of our country, the same sort of narrative that Prince the University says that we are rotten to the core, that we are the worst that could possibly exist, you need to challenge people when they say that.
00:24:43.000That's what Betsy DeVos is doing here so brilliantly.
00:25:50.000Noom teaches you why you do the things you do and empowers you with the tools you need to break bad habits and replace them with better ones.
00:25:57.000Noom is not a diet, it's healthy and easy-to-stick to way of life.
00:26:28.000So, I was watching the Joe Biden town hall when he was talking to his pseudo-press secretary, Anderson Cooper, in front of all these cars.
00:26:36.000And Joe Biden claimed something, and I saw it, and I had to re-listen to it at least 10 times because the way he said it and what he said was such an incredibly not just foolish but dangerous thing for a person to say.
00:26:53.000Joe Biden claimed that President Trump could have saved every single person from dying from the Chinese coronavirus.
00:27:20.000Okay, let's just call this what this is.
00:27:22.000This is a grotesque lie and a disturbing statement for anyone to make.
00:27:27.000And Anderson Cooper is just standing there.
00:27:30.000So first of all, tell it to Italy, the UK, Spain, or Denmark, all of which have higher cases of fatality than the United States.
00:27:39.000And Joe Biden, I have a couple series of questions here because I am growing very weary, tired, and impatient for you to continue to lie uninterrupted to the American people.
00:27:55.000I am growing more and more convinced you are not an honest person.
00:28:00.000In fact, you just want political power.
00:28:03.000Maybe to save your son from a coming indictment for selling us out to the Chinese or sitting on some sort of foreign board.
00:28:10.000Maybe to try to save your political career for being the most corrupt vice president in American history.
00:28:16.000But for engaging or indulging in this form of political partisanship, saying that every person's life would have been saved if you would have been vice president is disgusting.
00:28:28.000So here's how President Trump needs to respond to this in the upcoming debate.
00:28:33.000President Trump needs to say the following.
00:29:04.000See how it is where I can then say in your eight years as vice president, over 300,000 people died from the flu.
00:29:11.00030,000 people died from the swine flu, H1N1.
00:29:15.000And what did you do about that, Joe Biden?
00:29:17.000Because when things broke out, I shut down travel to Europe and I shut down travel to China.
00:29:24.000I went to go look to see if we had personal protection equipment and the cupboards were bare because you and your partner in malfeasance and political partisanship, Barack Obama, decided not to replenish the stockpile.
00:29:39.000So I was left flat-footed to have to replace and replenish the stockpile.
00:29:44.000I closed China off from Europe and China where you called me xenophobic for that very reason.
00:29:51.000And then I had to restore our ventilator supply.
00:29:54.000I had to try to track down a virus that I did not ask for that was released by your financiers, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:30:02.000It's your friends that did this, Joe Biden.
00:30:04.000So the more that you continue to gallivant around cable TV and blame me for a virus, I'm going to do the same to you.
00:30:14.000Because people died under your watch as well, Joe Biden.
00:30:16.000And maybe you can finally start to feel some of the pain as to how unfair it is.
00:30:22.000And Anderson Cooper just let him say that, that if Joe Biden was president, all these people would still be alive.
00:30:28.000So Joe Biden, please answer the question, what you would have done differently?
00:30:32.000Because you criticized the travel ban.
00:30:35.000Trump blocked travel from China on January 31st.
00:30:39.000Joe Biden quickly attacked the move for what he called Trump's, quote, record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering.
00:30:46.000In March, Bolshevik Bernie Sanders insisted at the Fox News Town Hall he wouldn't even consider closing the U.S. border to prevent the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:30:56.000He also called the closure, the president's xenophobia.
00:31:00.000Trump blocked travel from Europe in early March when we had 38 confirmed deaths.
00:31:05.000That's right, 38 confirmed deaths and 1,100 confirmed cases.
00:31:10.000This is from a BBC article dated March 12th that states, quote, the European Union condemned the measure, which it said were taken, quote, unilaterally and without consultation.
00:31:20.000So now all the critics of Trump's ban say that he wasn't firm enough and didn't do enough.
00:31:25.000Now, the critics of Trump's ban are now saying every single person would be alive.
00:31:30.000Joe Biden, I'm going to chalk this up to your declining mental state and your dementia.
00:31:36.000But you should apologize and retreat by saying every single person would be alive.
00:31:41.000In fact, if President Trump really wants to come back at it, we should go find a couple hundred families that died from the swine flu and say Joe Biden killed my mother.
00:32:11.000Bambi, spelled B-A-M-B-E-E, was created specifically for small business.

00:32:54.000Pennsylvania health secretary Rachel Levine ordered Pennsylvania nursing homes to accept the Chinese Wuhan patients, but removed his own mother from a nursing home to keep her safe.
00:33:05.000This killed thousands of elderly Americans.
00:33:11.000Cuomo, who calls it the European virus, because the Chinese Communist Party is the primary financing mechanism of the Joe Biden family industry and the Democrat Party.
00:33:20.000But speaking of Cuomo, if you want to search for real guilt, then let's look at New York's Andrew Cuomo and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer, who both forced nursing homes to accept patients with the Chinese coronavirus.
00:33:33.000That's real blood on their hands, Mr. Vice President.
00:33:37.000And let's listen to Dr. Fauci on February 29th, who said, quote, no need to change what you're doing.
00:33:54.000I don't think people should be frightened.
00:33:56.000I mean, the risk right now, today, currently, is really relatively low for the American public.
00:34:03.000And while the United States government was gearing up for this pandemic, the New York Times was already pushing Trump is awful Chinese Communist Party propaganda.
00:34:13.000On February 5th, the New York Times ran the following headline, quote, who says it's not safe to travel to China?
00:34:18.000The Chinese coronavirus travel ban is unjust and doesn't work anyway.
00:34:22.000The Washington Post, who I am all very familiar with, they even fact-checked Biden.
00:34:47.000Even if the president had more rapidly in January to deal with the Chinese coronavirus and been able to persuade the Chinese leadership to be forthcoming about the situation, even nations that had been praised for their handling of the pandemic, they suffered some deaths.
00:35:00.000Thank you, Washington Post, for admitting that the laws of gravity are still in place in our universe.
00:35:43.000Joe Biden, you shouldn't get anywhere near power.
00:35:45.000And I am done acting as if you're some sort of admirable sympathy campaign that we have to wait for visiting angels to go scoop you up and give you your next meal.
