00:00:44.000 Again, email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:47.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:48.000 Here we go.
00:00:49.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:51.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:53.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:56.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:59.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:00.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:01.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:03.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:10.000 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.
00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:22.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:31.000 Are you ready for war?
00:01:33.000 I'm afraid we are getting closer and closer to an international conflict, the likes of which there is no guarantee that we will win.
00:01:40.000 You see, your wonderful walks in the park, time with your kids, the ability not to have to worry if a missile is going to fall over your neighborhood, is brought to you by the strength of the United States military.
00:01:56.000 We honor our veterans because they have earned that honor.
00:02:01.000 The question is, though, are we ready for what is coming next?
00:02:03.000 There is a mass destabilization event happening worldwide right now.
00:02:07.000 The media is too worried focusing on what are they focusing on?
00:02:11.000 I have the New York Times here.
00:02:12.000 I haven't even looked at it yet today.
00:02:13.000 What is the New York Times looking at right now?
00:02:15.000 They're focused on the Amazon jungle today.
00:02:18.000 That's the front page of the New York Times.
00:02:21.000 Also on Joe Biden.
00:02:25.000 But there's something deeper happening.
00:02:27.000 There's a mass destabilization event.
00:02:29.000 For example, Iran, China, and Russia link up for military operation to challenge unipolar world.
00:02:35.000 This is from express.co.uk.
00:02:39.000 So-called VRIC nations will take part in a 2022 edition of the International Army Games organized by Russia and hosted by several countries since its inception in 2015.
00:02:49.000 The exercise will see Venezuela seek to bolster ties to its Eastern allies amid tension with the West and in particular the United States.
00:02:59.000 So what we have done is we have now thrown Russia right into the arms of China.
00:03:04.000 You could thank your senators.
00:03:05.000 You could thank your elected officials that decided it was a good idea to go fund Ukraine.
00:03:11.000 $56 billion Ukraine.
00:03:12.000 By the way, we have lawmakers on our program all week.
00:03:16.000 And I'm going to respectfully ask every single one of them, why did they give $56 billion to Ukraine?
00:03:21.000 Make the case to me why we gave all that money to Ukraine.
00:03:25.000 Iran, China, and Russia have held three separate joint military drills in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean in the recent years, demonstrating further cooperation between the trio.
00:03:35.000 So now a super alliance has been created.
00:03:38.000 Meanwhile, China is holding combat exercises around Taiwan as Rick Scott goes and visits.
00:03:44.000 Abe has been assassinated.
00:03:45.000 And do we have any idea who did that?
00:03:47.000 I haven't seen a report conclusively.
00:03:49.000 It might have been the Chinese Communist Party.
00:03:51.000 Maybe not.
00:03:52.000 Your elites and many of your senators are bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:03:58.000 And as we articulated last week, many of your elites, like Governor Bergnam of North Dakota, just one example of many, want China to grow closer to America because deep down they're afraid of war.
00:04:12.000 Now, their rationale is this, and on its surface, you could see part of it.
00:04:16.000 They say, look, war would be terrible and it would be costly.
00:04:19.000 It would be just awful.
00:04:21.000 Therefore, we must do whatever we possibly can to avoid war.
00:04:25.000 I agree at that to a certain extent, but the moment you show China that you are not willing to defend yourself, they will take you over and they will look for you as a weak sucker.
00:04:35.000 You see, human life means nothing to China.
00:04:37.000 Nothing.
00:04:38.000 If they have to go massacre 300 million people in a war, that means nothing to them.
00:04:44.000 For us, one death is a tragedy.
00:04:46.000 For China, 300 million would be a statistic.
00:04:50.000 And so China knows that they could buy up our farmland as invited by our elected officials.
00:04:55.000 They can build military operations.
00:04:57.000 They could purchase our companies.
00:04:59.000 Meanwhile, Iran, China, and Russia are linking up for military operations and they're holding combat exercises around Taiwan.
00:05:08.000 Our elites have a doctrine of appeasement because deep down, they are so afraid of what conflict could bring.
00:05:16.000 And guess what?
00:05:16.000 They should be afraid.
00:05:17.000 War is terrible.
00:05:19.000 It's awful.
00:05:20.000 It's something that I pray in our lifetime we never get close.
00:05:23.000 But in an ironic and paradoxical turn of events, our leaders are so afraid of the very thing that they're actually making happen.
00:05:33.000 They're so afraid of having energy superiority that they're not willing to do it.
00:05:38.000 And by the way, Republican governors are also to blame for our oil crisis.
00:05:42.000 They could go drill for more oil.
00:05:43.000 Just defy the federal leases.
00:05:46.000 Go build the pipeline.
00:05:48.000 What, you're going to listen to the federal government now?
00:05:50.000 Oh.
00:05:50.000 So let me get this straight.
00:05:52.000 Republican governors of Texas and Kansas and Oklahoma, well, Governor Stitt's doing a pretty good job.
00:05:58.000 But of these other states, why don't you just defy the federal government?
00:06:01.000 That's what the left does to you.
00:06:03.000 Oh, you want to destroy the country, but follow the rules.
00:06:06.000 That's why they play you for suckers.
00:06:08.000 So did the CCP.
00:06:11.000 Are we ready for war?
00:06:14.000 Many of you have grown up in America where we have believed we've had the greatest military ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:06:19.000 And before I go any further, this is by no means a slight of the amazing heroes that have served and have died in our military.
00:06:26.000 The question is, do we have the strength of our nation, the resolve of the people, and the commitment from our leaders to actually win a war?
00:06:36.000 Did we win the Iraq war?
00:06:39.000 Maybe on the surface we pull out, though, the NISIS takes over.
00:06:41.000 Did we win in Afghanistan?
00:06:43.000 According to reports, I made some calls this weekend for some folks that do some intelligence work in Afghanistan.
00:06:48.000 I said, what happened in Afghanistan, by the way, since we've pulled out?
00:06:51.000 It's been almost a year, by the way, since the pullout of Afghanistan.
00:06:54.000 They said, everything is worse than it was before we came.
00:06:56.000 Everything.
00:06:58.000 All the billions of dollars of schools we built, taken over.
00:07:01.000 The tens of billions of dollars of military equipment, Taliban has it all.
00:07:06.000 So what does our foreign policy regime have to show for it?
00:07:11.000 Well, Joe Biden is, of course, intentionally destroying the bedrock of the country.
00:07:16.000 Every Republican needs to show that.
00:07:19.000 And we are spending $800, $900 billion on our military every single year for what?
00:07:27.000 Well, we spent $56 billion to Ukraine.
00:07:29.000 Has that made America safer?
00:07:32.000 China holds combat exercises around Taiwan as U.S. Senator visits.
00:07:36.000 China's military said on Friday it recently held joint combat readiness exercises, patrols and combat drills in the sea and airspace around Taiwan.
00:07:44.000 China smells blood in the water.
00:07:46.000 They are sharks, the Chinese Communist Party is.
00:07:50.000 They do not understand anything but power.
00:07:52.000 The Chinese Communist Party does not understand values.
00:07:55.000 They don't understand debate.
00:07:57.000 They don't understand dialogue.
00:07:58.000 They are modern day Nazis.
00:08:01.000 We've said that before.
00:08:02.000 And yet our own leaders want to grow closer to China because their doctrine of appeasement, their doctrine of kind of a one-world vision, as articulated by many Republicans like Lindsey Graham and others, is we must try to mesh with China.
00:08:22.000 Now, hilariously, our own government is super worried about Vladimir Putin, yet it seems as if they're okay with China buying farmland.
00:08:33.000 Let me ask you a question.
00:08:34.000 If Russia was buying farmland, do you think that U.S. senators would speak out against it?
00:08:38.000 Of course they would.
00:08:41.000 Because they're much more afraid of Russia than they are China.
00:08:44.000 Why?
00:08:45.000 Because deep down they know Russia is just a sable-rattling exercise.
00:08:48.000 Russia is a Potempkin village that they can hate.
00:08:52.000 Now, I'm not saying Russia is not a threat.
00:08:54.000 I'm not saying Russia's not in the wrong.
00:08:55.000 Vladimir Putin is in the wrong for invading Ukraine, obviously.
00:08:59.000 But is Russia a major threat to American national security?
00:09:02.000 Not even close.
00:09:03.000 Then they say, well, Russia can't border a NATO country.
00:09:06.000 It already is.
00:09:07.000 I'm butchering the pronunciation every time.
00:09:09.000 They have a million military active duty in Kalingrad Oblast, which borders Poland.
00:09:15.000 They're already bordering NATO.
00:09:17.000 Go like open up a map, any map, and study something.
00:09:21.000 The military has now spent, the United States military has spent 6 million man hours on woke training under Biden.
00:09:29.000 What have U.S. senators done to actually block that?
00:09:32.000 Answer, they reauthorized the NDAA with no questions asked.
00:09:37.000 Oh, I forgot.
00:09:38.000 That's right.
00:09:38.000 They wrote a letter.
00:09:40.000 They wrote a letter.
00:09:42.000 You should know that your Republican leaders, they wrote a letter.
00:09:48.000 Do you think we as a nation are ready for war?
00:09:51.000 Are you ready for war?
00:09:54.000 We are seeing mass destabilization events.
00:09:58.000 And it's very easy to fall under the hypnosis, oh, war will never come here.
00:10:02.000 We're never going to have to defend anything.
00:10:05.000 Just look at the last couple of years.
00:10:06.000 You ever think we would lock down a country, ignore all the data, mandate a vaccine that isn't even a vaccine?
00:10:13.000 You think we'd do all this stuff?
00:10:15.000 The CCP is circling like sharks.
00:10:19.000 Do you think we're ready?
00:10:23.000 Look, 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.
00:10:28.000 We try to do some shows every so often on these things.
00:10:32.000 But look, what am I talking about when I say that?
00:10:34.000 How about good and evil?
00:10:35.000 Right and wrong?
00:10:36.000 Prayer and the Bible or heaven and hell?
00:10:38.000 So look, the great C.S. Lewis, who's one of the most amazing minds ever to exist, was a master at addressing these questions.
00:10:47.000 And 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.
00:10:59.000 And it all starts with taking a short quiz to find out how much you already know about Lewis.
00:11:04.000 He wrote more than the Narnia series, by the way.
00:11:07.000 Look, Hillsdale College is amazing.
00:11:09.000 They defend liberty.
00:11:10.000 They pursue truth.
00:11:11.000 They do a great job.
00:11:13.000 So just write this down.
00:11:14.000 This should be your go-to resource.
00:11:15.000 Remember, I have taken 16 of their online courses, and I have promised Dr. Arn I'm eventually going to finish them all.
00:11:22.000 Go to charlie4hillsdale.com to take this fun, interactive quiz, and then sign up for this free course.
00:11:27.000 The answers may even surprise you, even if you think you know everything about C.S. Lewis.
00:11:31.000 They surprised me, my goodness.
00:11:33.000 The quiz, the course, and everything you learn at Hillsdale College are yours for free, as always.
00:11:37.000 So take the C.S. Lewis quiz, charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:11:41.000 That is charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:11:43.000 Take as many online courses as you can.
00:11:45.000 The Constitution course is amazing, but their C.S. Lewis course is extraordinary.
00:11:51.000 And by the way, Hillsdale College, just phenomenal.
00:11:55.000 Charlie4Hillsdale.com.
00:11:59.000 Are we ready for a battle with China?
00:12:01.000 Are we ready for a conflict?
00:12:03.000 Now, they might not attack us conventionally.
00:12:06.000 How about a cyber attack?
00:12:07.000 What if I told you the Chinese Communist Party might be funding some of the green energy groups?
00:12:13.000 Because that's already been proven through some declassified documents.
00:12:18.000 If I was the Chinese Communist Party, let's just kind of play act for a second.
00:12:22.000 If I was the Chinese Communist Party, I would be BLM's number one supporter.
00:12:26.000 I would be Planned Parenthood's number one supporter to make sure our population stays down.
00:12:29.000 I would be the open border supporter, so I'd give money to all of the social justice-oriented Catholic charities that sponsor the movement of people across the southern border.
00:12:40.000 I would be the Democrat Party's biggest supporter.
00:12:44.000 If I hated America, I would be supporting all of these different organizations.
00:12:48.000 So, let's do a thought exercise for a second.
00:12:50.000 Let's pretend that we've been in a coma for 30 years and we just have awakened from the coma.
00:12:55.000 Yay, good, praise God.
00:12:57.000 And then someone says, The first task I'm going to give you once you kind of get sentient, without looking at your phone or anything, is I want you to give me an honest and objective kind of analysis of who is ready for war and who is ready to be strong and to flourish over the next 30 years.
00:13:16.000 So, we wake up from a coma.
00:13:17.000 We have no comprehension, like, wow, what are all these devices and all this stuff?
00:13:21.000 But your job is to study and to issue a report.
00:13:24.000 No bias, right?
00:13:25.000 Because the problem is when we look at this stuff, and especially myself, I kind of find myself being very, let's just say, biased in the American direction.
00:13:36.000 And you should be.
00:13:37.000 By the way, all of you should be that way.
00:13:39.000 All of you should be biased in the American direction.
00:13:43.000 You should be wanting America to win any conflict.
00:13:46.000 So, if we were kind of in a coma for 30 years and we snap out of it and they said, okay, which side is more ready for war?
00:13:51.000 Well, let's look at something that really can't be measured: motivation.
00:13:54.000 Which nation is more motivated right now?
00:13:57.000 The Chinese Communist Party or the American government?
00:14:00.000 Now, our government is motivated to put our entire country through the shredder.
00:14:06.000 China is taking land.
00:14:08.000 They have eliminated Hong Kong.
00:14:09.000 It's done.
00:14:10.000 Hong Kong is nothing but a memory.
00:14:10.000 It's over.
00:14:13.000 I'm struck by that famous scene in 1984, great book.
00:14:16.000 All of you should read it at least once a year.
00:14:17.000 You'll find something new every time.
00:14:19.000 Where they just cross stuff out in the newspaper.
00:14:21.000 They said, up, that didn't exist.
00:14:22.000 That didn't exist.
00:14:23.000 That is precisely what they did to Hong Kong.
00:14:25.000 It doesn't exist anymore.
00:14:26.000 Are you kidding me?
00:14:28.000 Hong Kong is nothing more than a memory.
00:14:30.000 And in fact, that memory, we are going to eliminate.
00:14:33.000 Hong Kong is actually now called.
00:14:36.000 I want to make sure I get this right.
00:14:37.000 That's right.
00:14:38.000 It is the minor area of South Shenzhen.
00:14:43.000 That's Hong Kong.
00:14:44.000 The beautiful history and once free place of Hong Kong has been eliminated.
00:14:51.000 So do you think we're prepared for the next military conflict?
00:14:57.000 Well, there's a new video out of some of the people that are going to have to fight the war.
00:15:01.000 Cut 11 is one of the active duty service members.
00:15:06.000 She is an army soldier, a woman who questions her loyalty to the United States because of the Roe versus Wade decision.
00:15:14.000 So she swore an oath to the United States Constitution.
00:15:16.000 She's supposed to defend the country.
00:15:20.000 And she says, you know what?
00:15:21.000 I question my loyalty to America because of a Supreme Court decision I don't like that sends things back down to the states.
00:15:28.000 This is who's in your military now.
00:15:30.000 Play Cut 11.
00:15:31.000 I have thoughts.
00:15:33.000 I have thoughts and I have questions.
00:15:35.000 I woke up from a nap to this.
00:15:38.000 On deployment.
00:15:40.000 I woke up from a nap to this news.
00:15:42.000 America is waking up to this news.
00:15:48.000 I just extended my contract to continue serving this country a week ago.
00:15:56.000 How am I supposed to swear to support and defend the Constitution and a country that treats its women like second-class citizens?
00:16:10.000 How am I supposed to do that?
00:16:12.000 How am I supposed to do that with pride?
00:16:15.000 How am I supposed to do that with love and honor?
00:16:19.000 How am I supposed to wake up every day and put on a freaking uniform that says United States Army when the United States doesn't even give a rat's about me?
00:16:30.000 Just leave.
00:16:30.000 Honestly, just leave the military, leave the country, go to the, you know, go to Netherlands and have a nice time.
00:16:35.000 We don't need you.
00:16:35.000 We don't need your complaining.
00:16:37.000 We don't need your cattle walling.
00:16:38.000 We don't need any of that stuff.
00:16:40.000 Okay.
00:16:41.000 I mean, since when do military members make TikTok videos, oh, feel sorry for me because I can't terminate my child.
00:16:48.000 Actually, you're there to do a job?
00:16:49.000 Am I supposed to feel sorry for you because you signed up?
00:16:51.000 Thank you for your service, by the way.
00:16:52.000 Appreciate it.
00:16:53.000 Great.
00:16:53.000 You sign up for more service.
00:16:55.000 And first of all, it shouldn't be allowed, okay?
00:16:57.000 Active military service members should not be allowed to go make selfie videos commenting on current political issues.
00:17:03.000 But she looks at her loyalty to the United States based on whether or not she likes what she's seeing in the news cycle.
00:17:09.000 Why are we allowing it to the military?
00:17:10.000 Because the military has no leadership right now.
00:17:12.000 You got Mark Milley.
00:17:13.000 You got Lloyd Austin.
00:17:15.000 You got the CCP infiltrating it.
00:17:18.000 We are bumbling closer to a conflict that I am fearful we are not ready to fight.

00:18:31.000 I think we have the technology to defeat any power in the world.
00:18:36.000 We have the raw material.
00:18:38.000 We have incredible access to energy, resources.
00:18:42.000 You know what's so sad about it is we could fix this in 18 months.
00:18:45.000 But the biggest problem is the lack of morale.
00:18:48.000 I was talking to a wounded veteran over the weekend.
00:18:51.000 I said, do you think we're ready for this conflict?
00:18:53.000 He said, Charlie, the morale has never been so bad in the military.
00:18:56.000 He said, it is a laughingstock.
00:18:58.000 People don't know where to get orders from.
00:19:00.000 They don't know what their mission is.
00:19:02.000 They don't know the next theater they might be deployed to.
00:19:04.000 And maybe that's just one isolated example.
00:19:07.000 And really what got me thinking about this, to be honest, is a family that emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com, and I haven't responded to the email yet.
00:19:16.000 And I won't say the name on air, but he said, Charlie, do you think my son wants to be a Marine?
00:19:20.000 Would you have him enlist in the Marines right now?
00:19:23.000 And I haven't responded because I don't know the answer.
00:19:25.000 Because part of me is, wow, thank you for wanting to serve the country.
00:19:28.000 We need you to serve the country.
00:19:30.000 But to be under Biden's leadership right now, to be forced to take a vaccine, to maybe be deployed to some far-off theater that doesn't have any sort of relevancy to American national security, man.
00:19:45.000 Or to have to go through the woke pronoun training that they have right now in the Navy and to have no ability to speak out against it.
00:19:54.000 Now, let me be very clear.
00:19:55.000 You know, someone emailed us, they said, Charlie, you know, they emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:20:00.000 You think that that young lady shouldn't be able to post that video?
00:20:03.000 What about First Amendment rights for military service people?
00:20:05.000 And I respond, well, do you think that people should, you think that people in the military should be able to live stream their missions as they do them?
00:20:11.000 Oh, here we are, you know, writing to Mosul.
00:20:14.000 Like, no, of course not.
00:20:15.000 That's just insane.
00:20:16.000 There's limitations in military theaters and military training on all sorts of different what you would consider to be unquestioned constitutional rights in a combat theater.
00:20:28.000 Like, I'm going to live tweet our coordinates for the submarine right now.
00:20:32.000 Oh, well, okay, that's not a First Amendment issue, obviously.
00:20:36.000 But a deeper question is, though, who actually gets discharged from the military?
00:20:40.000 You see, the left, they could do all of their nonstop posting about Roe versus Wade and all that stuff.
00:20:47.000 But if you dare question Joe Biden, then you get kicked out of the military.
00:20:51.000 The double standard is extraordinary.
00:20:53.000 Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin are purging the United States military of what they consider to be white nationalism.
00:20:59.000 What is that?
00:20:59.000 They can't define it.
00:21:02.000 Are we a nation ready for war?
00:21:04.000 Army cuts off more than 60,000 unvaccinated guard and reserve soldiers from pay and benefits.
00:21:12.000 Some 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 reserve soldiers who refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are no longer allowed to participate in their military duties, also effectively cutting them off from some of their military benefits.
00:21:24.000 Army officials announced Friday.
00:21:27.000 I say that while simultaneously, let me read another story.
00:21:32.000 Every branch of the U.S. military is down 23% for their recruitment targets.
00:21:40.000 So we just discharged 60,000 people from our military because they didn't want to take the jab because they had the belief in individual sovereignty and autonomy against an experimental gene therapy that is showing to do potentially tons of damage and is hurting a lot of different types of different people.
00:21:57.000 Just look at VARES, V-A-E-R-S dot gov. So 60,000 of our finest fighters kicked out of the military.
00:22:04.000 Meanwhile, our own military can't hit their military recruitment target, 23% down.
00:22:11.000 And what's amazing is if you read some of the commentary regarding the military recruitment, they don't actually ask the question why.
00:22:25.000 You read story after story.
00:22:27.000 Thehill.com, Washington Times.
00:22:30.000 Well, they sort of get that, Washington Times says.
00:22:32.000 But theHill.com, you read it, and they say it's a mystery why people don't want to join the military.
00:22:38.000 Why people don't want to join the military?
00:22:39.000 How about this?
00:22:40.000 Let me read this story here.
00:22:43.000 Army mandatory training, this is the Army, mandatory training, requires soldiers with transgender people in their company to shower with people of the opposite sex.
00:22:57.000 The United States Army is now requiring and instructing that during training, you must shower with transgender members of the opposite sex, including those who have not surgically transitioned.
00:23:13.000 In June of 2021, the Biden regime issued an order to the Department of Defense requiring all qualified transgender people to be served openly in the military.
00:23:21.000 Now, I'm going to say something considered controversial.
00:23:23.000 If you're suffering from gender dysphoria, it should be a disqualification from serving in the United States military, period.
00:23:28.000 The same way that people with other mental issues, hyperschizophrenia, agoraphobia, or heightened anorexia, you're not able to serve in the military.
00:23:38.000 If you have gender dysphoria, you should get the help you need.
00:23:41.000 You should get treatment.
00:23:42.000 You should get counseling.
00:23:43.000 You should not serve in the United States military, period.
00:23:45.000 It's not a social experiment.
00:23:46.000 We're here to win wars.
00:23:47.000 We used to be, kill our enemies, and break things.
00:23:50.000 We're not here to try to be a diverse thing.
00:23:54.000 So if you're suffering from gender dysphoria, I have compassion for you.
00:23:58.000 I want the best for you.
00:23:59.000 You're made of the image of God.
00:24:00.000 Sorry, we have standards in the U.S. military.
00:24:02.000 You shouldn't be serving there as a transgender person, period.
00:24:05.000 Okay, but this is what happens when you allow it in, right?
00:24:08.000 So then Biden says this, that qualified transgender individuals should be allowed to serve openly in the military, reversing a Trump administration from prohibiting persons with gender dysphoria to serve openly in their self-identified gender.
00:24:19.000 Trump got this right.
00:24:21.000 The policy change allows a soldier to request their gender marker in the Department, the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System.
00:24:28.000 I'm just laughing because China is doing military exercises around Taiwan, and we're worried about how to get people that have such deep-seated identity problems that they have to go chemically castrate themselves, whether or not they should be in our military.
00:24:41.000 Following the order, the Army Secretary began to implement the policy change by altering mandatory training regimen to be more inclusive.
00:24:47.000 A mandatory training presentation included a slide or vignette titled Soldier, Unfit Training Barracks, Bathrooms and Showers.
00:24:55.000 Instructs soldiers on how to respond if they encounter a female who is transitioning to a male to accept primitive working conditions.
00:25:02.000 That doesn't sound like a nation that's ready for war.
00:25:05.000 It's almost as if the CCP is running our military times.
00:25:08.000 I'm not saying that's happening, but let's actually think of this for a second.
00:25:13.000 Remember when Mark Milley went out of his way to leak classified information to the Chinese party, Communist Party?
00:25:21.000 Remember this?
00:25:22.000 Top U.S. general Mark Milley speaks with Chinese counterpart.
00:25:25.000 Now, we used to consider this treason, but now you get elevated in Washington and beautiful pieces of the Washington Post and all that.
00:25:35.000 Mark Milley had a phone call with his Chinese counterpart, Li Shucheng, emphasizing, quote, responsibly managed competition between Washington and Beijing.
00:25:45.000 Remember, Milley has the same belief that Governor Bergnam of North Dakota has and all these other very weak, feckless, borderline treasonous elites in our country do.
00:25:55.000 They want to appease China.
00:25:56.000 Ooh, the dragon is coming for us.
00:25:59.000 Instead of trying to stand up to the bully and reignite American strength, let's act like a bunch of wussies, and I'm using a nice word, and just let them do whatever they want to us.
00:26:10.000 Do you remember when Mark Milley leaked confidential information?
00:26:14.000 Milley admits he would tell Chinese general if the United States launched an attack.
00:26:19.000 Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley admitted Wednesday that he would give his Chinese counterpart a heads up if the United States launched an attack on Beijing.
00:26:28.000 Quote, I said, hell, I'll call you, but we're not going to attack you.
00:26:33.000 That's Mark Milley giving a heads up to our enemies.
00:26:37.000 Hey, I'll give you a ring, pal.
00:26:40.000 Who pays Mark Milley's bills, by the way?
00:26:44.000 Look, we've played this clip before, but I'm going to keep playing it because some of you come in and out, and I understand you guys have busy lives that don't hear it.
00:26:51.000 Even if you heard it before, it's worth hearing again.
00:26:53.000 Are we a nation ready for war?
00:26:54.000 Are we a nation ready for combat?
00:26:56.000 Are we a nation ready for what the CCP wants?
00:26:59.000 Now, before I play this tape, I want to be very clear.
00:27:01.000 Is there a kinetic war in our future?
00:27:03.000 Maybe, maybe not.
00:27:05.000 Is there going to be a proxy war?
00:27:07.000 We already have one in Ukraine.
00:27:09.000 But there might be a cyber war.
00:27:10.000 But also, understand, the Chinese Communist Party might be waging a war through aiding and supporting groups like green energy groups.
00:27:18.000 We already have evidence of that.
00:27:19.000 We don't have evidence of them supporting BLM groups, but I can imagine they're cheering it on.
00:27:23.000 In fact, they regurgitate and repeat BLM talking points to Tony Blinken when they met in Alaska about a year and a half ago.
00:27:31.000 They basically read off the BLM website, you guys are racist, you guys are terrible, you guys are awful.
00:27:35.000 You see, the CCP knows that our fatal flaw is how racially conscious we are.
00:27:41.000 That they just keep on saying in our face, we'll back off and let them take over our country.
00:27:46.000 Somebody emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com a very smart take.
00:27:50.000 They said, Charlie, they don't have to fight us kinetically.
00:27:52.000 They're just going to buy up our businesses, buy off our elites.
00:27:55.000 So it is actually a practice that Peter Schweitzer calls elite capture.
00:28:00.000 That's precisely what they did to Hunter Biden.
00:28:02.000 And I know many of you are wondering, Charlie, are you going to talk about the Hunter Biden leak?
00:28:05.000 Oh, we're going to talk about it the best we can because we might get pulled off all of our feeds.
00:28:10.000 But if you haven't heard about the Hunter Biden leak, it's extraordinary what happened.
00:28:14.000 It's worse than the laptop, is what I'm being told.
00:28:19.000 Very illegal activity, allegedly.
00:28:22.000 Allegedly.
00:28:23.000 Jack Pasobic will help us walk through it.
00:28:27.000 So I want to play Cut 12, and then we're going to play a cut from Maria Bartaromo.
00:28:30.000 This is your military.
00:28:31.000 If you send your son or daughter to the Marines, if you send someone into a combat theater, if you send someone to the military, this is what your government is spending time teaching while the CCP is building aircraft carriers and surrounding Taiwan.
00:28:46.000 Play Cut 12.
00:28:47.000 Hi, my name is Johnny, and I use he, him pronouns.
00:28:50.000 Hi, and I'm Kanchi, and I use she, her pronouns.
00:28:53.000 And we're here to talk about pronouns.
00:28:55.000 What is a pronoun?
00:28:56.000 A pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name, and it's also how people refer to us in conversations.
00:29:04.000 Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone's identity.
00:29:08.000 It is a signal of acceptance and respect.
00:29:11.000 That is an official training video of the United States Navy, of which the Marine Corps falls under, of which Navy SEALs fall under.
00:29:19.000 An official training protocol of the United States government of what pronouns you should use.
00:29:25.000 And by the way, China sees all of this.
00:29:28.000 The Chinese Communist Party is probably eating dog or pork, whatever they're doing, and they can't believe how lucky they are that they have to come up against this in the 21st century.
00:29:40.000 We're debating pronouns.
00:29:41.000 We have dudes showering with women as an edict of the U.S. Army.
00:29:45.000 We're teaching critical race theory in the United States Military Academy at West Point.
00:29:50.000 Iran, China, and Russia are circulating together and forming a super alliance.
00:29:55.000 We sent $56 billion to Zelensky.
00:29:57.000 We don't even know what happened to the money.
00:29:59.000 And it seems as if Russia is not going to back down anytime soon.
00:30:02.000 We totally messed up what could have been a useful proxy, Russia, against China, not an ally, but the same way that, guess what?
00:30:09.000 We used Russia before to win world wars.
00:30:11.000 Oh, we would never use a bad power to win a war.
00:30:13.000 Yeah, study World War II history for like a half hour.
00:30:16.000 How about a minute?
00:30:17.000 You realize that, unfortunately, the murderous, awful Stalin was extremely helpful to the West in breaking the back of the Nazis.
00:30:26.000 I'm afraid that we're getting closer and closer to either a cyber war, I think we're already being in an information war.
00:30:34.000 It could be kinetic.
00:30:36.000 But here's the thing: these other actors are only going to get more empowered.
00:30:40.000 They're going to get only more likely to act the more they see this pattern of behavior from our leaders, from our elites, from Millie, from Austin, from Blinken, from Biden.
00:30:53.000 But at least the U.S. Navy is using proper pronouns.
00:30:59.000 Look, as you know, our friend Mike Lindell has amazing passion and especially has a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life.
00:31:06.000 He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.
00:31:08.000 Now, Mike has done it again by introducing MySlippers.

00:31:45.000 Let's play Cut 20, Maria Bartaromo and Marsha Blackburn exposing the Biden crime family.
00:31:50.000 This is all part of it, by the way.
00:31:51.000 The Biden family is the best example of elite capture that we have.
00:31:57.000 They've been totally captured by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:32:01.000 They're held hostage by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:32:03.000 They do what they want.
00:32:04.000 Play Cut 20.
00:32:06.000 Let's take a look at that right now because I have a graphic of what appears to be Joe Biden's China policy.
00:32:13.000 First, we know that the family reportedly accepted $31 million at least from deals in China.
00:32:18.000 That is from Hunter's laptop.
00:32:20.000 And Senator Ron Johnson's investigation and Peter Schweitzer's reporting fails to demand any COVID origins investigation.
00:32:26.000 We have no evidence that Joe Biden ever brought up the origins of COVID to Xi Jinping and the five phone calls that he's had.
00:32:33.000 He's failing to call for an end of the fentanyl trafficking.
00:32:35.000 I have not heard him mention fentanyl once, and fentanyl is made in China, pushed through Mexico into America.
00:32:41.000 And it continues.
00:32:42.000 He has canceled the China initiative.
00:32:44.000 This was an initiative that was investigating the continued Chinese intellectual property theft.
00:32:50.000 He's considering lifting the tariffs on China imports.
00:32:53.000 He sent oil from America's Strategic Reserve to other countries, including China.
00:32:58.000 And he is pushing electric vehicles, solar panels, and batteries aggressively in his climate change agenda.
00:33:04.000 And many of those are made in China.
00:33:06.000 And that's just part of it.
00:33:08.000 Good for Maria Bertaromo for saying that.
00:33:10.000 And not to mention our elites do business with China.
00:33:12.000 BlackRock is heavily invested in China.
00:33:15.000 Our corporate masters are intertwined with China, bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:22.000 And if I was China, I think that last email was super smart, I would try to do everything I possibly can to try to incite division and chaos here domestically.
00:33:32.000 And so some people say, well, Charlie, we have to unite with the left.
00:33:35.000 No, we don't.
00:33:36.000 We must understand the left and the CCP.
00:33:38.000 They're on the same side.
00:33:39.000 They both want a destruction of America.
00:33:40.000 The World Economic Forum, the American Domestic Left, the World Health Assembly, Anthony Fauci, CDC, our major government institutions, they all want you to get crushed.
00:33:51.000 Same with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:53.000 And so when they elite capture someone like Joe Biden, not only do they pay them off, pay him off, but they also get blackmail on him and his son.
00:34:03.000 Now, I'm going to be careful the way I talk about this because this still needs to be verified, but it looks to be legit.
00:34:09.000 The information and the photos that have come out from this Hunter Biden iCloud leak is extraordinary.
00:34:16.000 I want you to imagine if Donald Trump Jr.'s iCloud was hacked and that was leaked.
00:34:21.000 It would be the number one news story on the planet.
00:34:23.000 So allegedly this weekend, somebody got into Hunter Biden's iCloud and leaked it.
00:34:31.000 Now, I have not seen it myself, nor do I want to see it.
00:34:34.000 I'll let other people report on it.
00:34:37.000 I hear it's disgusting.
00:34:38.000 It's awful.
00:34:39.000 It engages with some very questionable material.
00:34:43.000 And we already know some of the questionable stuff from the laptop from hell.
00:34:48.000 But how much of that does China have?
00:34:51.000 And then I love when the media, they say, Charlie floats conspiracy theory that Chinese Communist Party would blackmail Americans.
00:34:58.000 Oh, yeah, that would be way beneath them, wouldn't it?
