00:01:21.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:29.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:44.000Truth is, I know millions of people, in fact, that over 100 million people that are struggling with some kind of pain, whether it's knee pain, back pain, joint pain, and exercise or getting older or whatever it might be.
00:01:54.000I'm so impressed with the team at Relief Factor.
00:02:37.000And we went there for a couple different reasons.
00:02:39.000I went there because they defied the lockdown orders.
00:02:43.000And I just appreciate that in so many different ways.
00:02:46.000Pastors and churches that stood up against the tyranny of the public health commissioners in the last year.
00:02:55.000But as I was there in Burlington, anyone who's ever been to Burlington, Vermont, it's kind of a mixture of Berkeley, California and Boulder, Colorado, with a little bit of Manhattan mixed into it.
00:03:07.000Generally, when I go to some of these liberal towns, I'm met with disgust or protest.
00:03:15.000It was actually incredible walking the streets of Burlington.
00:03:17.000We had people coming up saying, I listened to your podcast.
00:03:20.000Now, this is literally the town where Bernie Sanders was mayor.
00:04:05.000And over the weekend, we received thousands, not thousands, probably hundreds of emails on that sort of sentiment.
00:04:10.000We received thousands of total emails, but hundreds of emails saying, Charlie, you're naive.
00:04:15.000It's just a matter of time until we sever ties and we have to form our own country.
00:04:20.000And so I thought to myself, and a lot of time I had thinking because of my flight being six hours delayed through Chicago, O'Hare International Airport.
00:04:28.000Thank you, United, was what is the left doing, if anything, to try to heal and mend our society right now?
00:04:39.000Do they even have an interest to do that?
00:04:41.000Do they actually want to bring this country together or are they actually forcing the hand where this will either result in a fracturing or a totalitarian, authoritarian moment?
00:04:52.000And so, right on queue this last weekend, something that used to be not just non-political, not just apolitical, but it was unifying beyond Republican and Democrat, and that is Olympic competitions.
00:05:08.000Sports are supposed to be, they're supposed to be not just unifying, they're supposed to be transcendent.
00:05:16.000Sports are supposed to be where you check your own biases and you go towards a common goal, especially in the Olympics where you are wearing the American flag and where you are representing a culture and a history and a people.
00:05:57.000And not to mention the politics in it.
00:06:00.000And so this last weekend at an Olympic competition, this plays into this point, and it kind of connects the last episode we did in our podcast.
00:06:08.000I encourage all of you to check out our podcast where we were talking about this idea of slow-motion secession.
00:06:14.000What happens if, what would you say if we were actually living through a slow-motion, ever-gradual divorce right now?
00:06:21.000Where people that have values, where they want to own firearms and go to church and raise large families and believe our rights come from God, they want to govern themselves.
00:06:30.000They no longer feel like the kingdom of Washington, D.C. is properly representing them.
00:06:36.000They say, we want to make our own choices.
00:06:39.000And just based on a small sample size of our audience, which we deeply appreciate, people are getting there.
00:06:45.000And so I made the argument that's not healthy.
00:08:00.000She turned her back on the American flag during the national anthem.
00:08:05.000You see, the playbook being used and employed against us is the constant and relentless campaign to usurp and infiltrate transcendent traditions.
00:08:17.000One of the things that my generation grew up believing was something that should continue is Olympic competition and sport.
00:08:31.000Now, Gwen Berry, who is a black female hammer thrower, congratulations, finished third.
00:08:40.000And instead of putting her hand over the heart, I kid you not, she put her t-shirt on her head during the national anthem in sign of protest.
00:08:51.000And then she had the audacity to say that she was set up.
00:08:59.000That she was set up, that she was not actually a victim.
00:09:08.000That she's the one that people should feel sorry for.
00:09:12.000How dare the United States Olympic Commission play the national anthem?
00:09:18.000And I want to dive into this in great detail because this is now the number one news story in the country.
00:09:23.000Where Gwen Berry, and she's, by the way, she's getting a ton of support, by the way.
00:09:27.000A lot of people are coming and supporting her for putting a t-shirt on her head and saying that I do not respect the national anthem because of systemic racism.
00:09:39.000And I want you to think about this during the break.
00:10:17.000To really stop these people from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:10:23.000Think about all the times you've used the Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' home.
00:10:27.000Without ExpressVPN, every single site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.
00:10:33.000And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.
00:10:36.000What's more is your home internet provider, I'm talking about Comcast, ATT, or whatever, can also see and record your browsing data.
00:10:43.000ExpressVPN is an application, it's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers so that your private online activity says just that, private.
00:10:53.000ExpressVPN works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.
00:10:57.000So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.

00:11:14.000Now, we've talked at length about a guy by the name of Herbert Marcuza, and he is the sort of the godfather of critical theory.
00:11:22.000He came from the Frankfurt School, and you're starting to hear his name mentioned more and more.
00:11:26.000He had one of his disciples is Angela Davis, a communist who runs a lot of the education system in California.
00:11:34.000One of his other disciples was a man by the name, is a communist student activist by the name of Rudy Dutschke.
00:11:43.000And he came up with this phrase called the long march to the institutions.
00:11:48.000And Marcuse wrote favorably about this, where Rudy said, if we as communists and as Marxists ever want to be successful, we have to infiltrate and we have to actually do the jobs that the Westerners or the Americans themselves are doing.
00:12:04.000I'm going to read with what Marcuse said in 1972 in a book called Counter Revolution and Revolt.
00:12:14.000To the extent to extend the base of the communist student movement, Rudy Dutchke has proposed the strategy of the long march to the institutions, working against the established institutions while working within them.
00:12:29.000But not simply by, quote, boring from within, rather by, quote, doing the job, learning how to program and how to read computers, how to teach at all levels of education, how to use mass media, how to organize productions, how to reorganize and exchue planned obsolescence, how to design, and at the same time, preserving one's own consciousness and working with others.
00:12:56.000The long march includes the concerted effort to build up counter institutions.
00:13:03.000They have been an aim of the communist movement, but the lack of funds was greatly responsible for their weakness and their inferior quality.
00:13:14.000This is especially important for the development of radical, quote, free media.
00:13:18.000The fact that the radical left has no equal access to the great chains of information and indoctrination is largely responsible for its isolation.
00:13:27.000Marcuse is saying they're only going to be successful if they infiltrate, if they challenge.
00:13:35.000And that includes media, education, Hollywood, movies, music, and yes, athletics.
00:13:45.000You see, athletics were always, by design, outside of some of the cultural radical trends that you might have saw on cable television or in music or in movie production.
00:13:58.000Sports were always trying to be kept bipartisan or non-partisan.
00:14:03.000Michael Jordan famously said when he was pressured in the 1990s to endorse a Senate candidate, he said, Republicans buy sneakers too.
00:14:12.000Now, these rules of non-engagement in American politics are no, they no longer apply because, according to the current revolutionaries, the injustice today is worse than the injustice in the Jim Crow South.
00:14:25.000The injustice today is worse than any other time in American history.
00:14:30.000Now, some of you listening right now think, how could anyone possibly believe that?
00:14:35.000Well, they go to college is how they believe that.
00:14:37.000They are taught in college that what they are living through right now is the greatest, most unjust time in American history, and that their dramatic revolutionary type action is necessary to change that.
00:14:50.000You see, athletes used to wrap themselves in the flag and the celebration of victory and something larger than themselves.
00:14:57.000They used to collapse and cry when they used to say that I am able to deliver a victory for the Americans against the communist Russians.
00:15:06.000And we're going to remember some of the greatest moments in Olympic history.
00:15:10.000You see, Gwen Berry, a very unimpressive sociopathic narcissist who finished third in the hammer throw, is just the latest iteration or the latest manifestation of the ideas that your children are learning in grade school and high school.
00:15:25.000Do you want to see the real world implications of critical race theory?
00:15:31.000When the national anthem plays, instead of putting her hand over the heart, or even just how about just putting your hands down and your head down and just say that you are saying a prayer.
00:15:39.000Be somber and solemn and be one thing, Gwen Berry, if you won your third place.
00:17:00.000We are losing almost anything in our country that hasn't been corrupted or co-opted or hijacked by the activists.
00:17:12.000We, as human beings, are not wired for this perpetual state of activism.
00:17:21.000We live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:17:26.000So, how could someone like Gwen Berry, a black female hammer thrower, how could she possibly get to the conclusion where she thinks America is so evil and so awful that she will turn her back during the national anthem and she will say that she is protesting systemic racism?
00:17:47.000And she said, I felt like I was set up and they played the national anthem on purpose.
00:17:52.000Oh, yeah, they played the national anthem on purpose, Gwen Berry.
00:17:56.000That's sort of a prerequisite of being an athlete and winning.
00:19:27.000And then she ended up getting a scholarship, and this is where she learned all these wonderful ideas, to Southern Illinois University in Carmondale.
00:20:19.000She goes on, and by the way, this is not the first time she's decided to be a sociopathic narcissist.
00:20:24.000In the 2019 Pan American Games, Gwen Berry in Lima, Peru, was awarded the gold medal, but then she raised her fist in protest against the injustice of America and a president who's making it worse.
00:20:38.000She says, I'm here to represent all the people that have died due to systemic racism and in support of racial and social justice for all human beings.
00:20:46.000So, Gwen Berry, explain to me, if America was so systemically racist and awful, how could a black woman like you be able to go to college, get a scholarship, and represent our athletics at the highest possible level?
00:20:57.000Do you think that would be possible in other countries?
00:21:01.000Do you think a black woman like you would be able to do that in Hungary or Bulgaria or in any other Eastern European country?
00:21:55.000When we used to unify as a country, because we beat the Ruskies, when we beat the revolutionaries, when we beat the communists themselves.
00:22:01.000So we went from beating the communists in the 1970s and 80s in hockey to now having them throw hammers for us and act as if they are bitter Marxist revolutionaries.
00:22:54.000It's when hockey teams and sports and all Americans rallied together because we knew that we were in the midst of a theological struggle against the Soviet Union.
00:23:02.000We believed we were made in God's image and our rights came from God, and the Russians were the largest atheist country to date.
00:23:10.000We allowed our dissidents to speak freely in the street.
00:23:14.000Our athletes rallied around not behind Republican and Democrat, but behind the United States flag.
00:23:21.000Remember when Dan Snow visited Lake Placid to relive the incredible ice hockey match from the 1980 Winter Games between the USA and the Soviet Union?
00:24:55.000Sports are a reflection of our culture.
00:24:58.000And ever since we sent all of our best and brightest and most aspirational and ambitious people like Gwen Berry to college, they might as well wear the sickle and hammer themselves.
00:25:10.000Remember when George W. Bush threw the opening pitch at Yankee Stadium after 9-11?
00:25:15.000When the country came together after we were attacked by terrorists?
00:25:21.000I want you to ask yourselves this question while you listen to this tape.
00:25:24.000If 9-11 happened again today, who would they blame?
00:25:28.000And would America come together again?
00:27:08.000What so proudly we've heard your anthem a million times before, but it means a little bit more when you're doing it over the gold medal around your night.

00:29:31.000There's only two ways to handle insurgents like Gwen Berry.
00:29:37.000You can pander to them and you can try to find a middle ground with them.
00:29:45.000Or you could show them that if you dare break the rules and make a ceremony that is about our fallen veterans, our service members, and the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world, the commonality, the ties that bind us together, if you decide to turn your back on that flag and put the shirt on your head, well, then you're off the team.
00:30:17.000Go pick a country, any country where they do that sort of thing against America.
00:30:21.000Iran, Gwen Berry, I'm sure Iran would love to have you throw a hammer for them.
00:30:26.000You might have to dress a little bit differently to accommodate the theological, radical, Islamic theological medieval tyrants over there who believe that women should not be clothed the way you were clothed the other day.
00:30:40.000But some people are saying, well, she has a free speech right to do this.
00:30:44.000Look, freedom of speech is there for us to pursue virtue.
00:30:48.000And also, freedom of speech has its maxims.
00:30:51.000Just because you're able to do something at a certain time, is that the right time or the right place to do it as an athlete while you are being commissioned by our nation to go represent us?
00:31:02.000And by the way, if Gwen Berry, all of a sudden during that ceremony, put a Make America Great Again hat on, how do you think the other side would be reacting?
00:31:12.000If she all of a sudden put up an America first hat on during that ceremony and the exact opposite, they'd say, kick her off the team, kick her off the team.
00:31:22.000You see, during that moment, it's not about what sort of bizarre protest that you can try and put forward.
00:31:40.000I feel sad for her because she has been hypnotized and propagandized to believe America is an awful country.
00:31:46.000And she looks at herself as a revolutionary.
00:31:49.000You see, she is doing more damage, not just her, but her type, the LeBron James type, who have never done anything significant or worthwhile in their life.
00:31:59.000And yeah, people will say LeBron James won championships.
00:32:01.000He's also lost more championships than he's won.
00:32:04.000And he's also not a very smart person.
00:32:08.000So for the rest of his life, LeBron James will always be known as the man who chokes under pressure, who blames his teammates, walks off the stage preemptively, and will never be Michael Jordan.
00:32:20.000And in fact, I think that it should be against NBA code for LeBron James to wear the number 23.
00:32:26.000He's insulting the legacy of the greatest athlete, one of the greatest athletes of all time.
00:32:31.000Wayne Gretzky is up there as the greatest athlete ever, but they're right there.
00:32:34.000Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky are two of the best.
00:32:38.000But you kind of see this idea of the activist athlete, which was written on her shirt, and she put that on her head.
00:32:46.000Well, first of all, she probably has no mentors or people that would hold her accountable.
00:32:51.000In fact, she has nothing but yes people around her.
00:32:53.000Number two, she actually deep down believes America is a terrible and awful place.
00:32:58.000Maybe she hasn't traveled or maybe she has been in an academic environment that has reinforced this idea, this pernicious idea that we are nothing more than an oppressor nation.
00:33:15.000And it's too bad because our nation is on fragile footing.
00:33:24.000We can't survive many more chapters in this book of I want to revolutionize America.
00:33:31.000Therefore, instead of pandering to it or saying that she has a right to do it, which she doesn't, by the way, it must be met with discipline.
00:33:39.000It must be met with this very quick and decisive action that go compete for another nation.
00:33:45.000Go renounce your citizenship and tell us how Mogadishu is this time of year.
00:33:51.000You see, the American Republic is a gift from the Lord.
00:33:58.000We celebrate that this weekend on Independence Day weekend.
00:34:03.000We played some tape of some of the greatest sports moments of all time.
