00:00:00.000Hey, everybody, happy Monday Ask Me Anything episode where I take your questions that you've emailed me throughout the week, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:06.000What should we think about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers not putting the pride patch on their shoulder?
00:00:12.000What should we make about Paul Pelosi and also a recent general that has been investigated and looks soon to be arrested for illegal lobbying efforts?
00:01:04.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:13.000That's why we are here, brought to you by the loan experts.
00:01:18.000I trust Andrew and Toddl at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrewandtodd.com.
00:01:36.000What is your opinion on several Tampa BAY baseball players who refused to wear the rainbow pride patches on their jerseys during the pride night?
00:01:43.000Their pride night, instead sent out of the game.
00:01:48.000I think that players pushing back against quote-unquote pride night is critical and we must understand that what you might think of, as pride night has changed in its meaning.
00:02:00.000It's no longer about gay and lesbian acceptance no no, no.
00:02:05.000It's about something much deeper than that and also something that is much more controversial than that.
00:02:11.000It can mean now bringing children to drag queen bars.
00:02:16.000It can mean chemical castration of children that this idea of pride month has broadened from just like okay, I suppose tolerance of gay and lesbian people and the spectrum that moves from tolerance to acceptance to celebration, to participation I must give credit to Matt Walsh for that phenomenally brilliant kind of steps is.
00:02:41.000Now that you must participate, you must wear the pride patch, and it kind of goes back, okay Connor, get the Kramer from Seinfeld, what do you?
00:02:53.000You don't want to put the button on from the Aids walk.
00:02:55.000It's one of those great um, great scenes in television history where Kramer, who's kind of an aloof character in Seinfeld, decides to do the aids walk but he doesn't want to put the button on or the ribbon.
00:03:10.000He just doesn't want to wear the ribbon, and it kind of is the same sort of thing where he ends up getting kind of attacked by the mob, albeit kind of very similar kind of the pride month aids walk mob, where they say, you don't support gay people because you don't want to wear the ribbon.
00:03:27.000And it's kind of this joke in the show that unfolds into obvious kind of tumultuous hilarity where Kramer's like, no no no, i'm with you, I just don't want to wear the ribbon, I just don't want to wear the ribbon.
00:03:55.000And just out of a general principle of it, I think it's great that the line is drawn, that major league baseball players who earn millions of dollars are willing to say, I'm not going to wear the patch.
00:04:25.000And I certainly won't participate in it.
00:04:28.000And we must understand that the previous conception of kind of what Pride Month was 15 years ago is completely different than what it is now, where it used to be like, okay, there's all these people that are afraid to express their sexual, you know, tendencies and that they feel as if they're constantly quote unquote in the closet.
00:05:00.000In fact, and this is not my own, you know, wording of it, but Dave Rubin and many others have said it's actually much more difficult to come out as a conservative than it is as a gay person in America.
00:05:13.000So the Tampa Bay players that are pushing back against it, God bless them, I totally support it.
00:05:18.000And of course, the outrage from the media is they are homophobic.
00:05:24.000You could tolerate something having to wear a sticker on your jersey.
00:05:29.000That's kind of, it's an interesting component of live and let live, isn't it?
00:05:32.000So if it truly was live and let live, which we've gone through in great detail in recent weeks on how that is a false promise, a utopian dream, never was going to happen.
00:05:41.000And we were naively put into this sort of paradigm.
00:05:45.000But if it was truly live and let live, then wouldn't it say put the patch on if you want to put the patch on?
00:05:52.000Like, okay, if you want to put the patch on, then great.
00:05:55.000No, but instead, it's that if you don't wear the patch, you can't even play the game.
00:06:01.000That's mandatory participation in something you might not believe in, which, by the way, is one of the great examples to show that this is not the sort of freedom of choice political movement.
00:07:05.000And so all these people are posting these black squares as if we're living in this incredibly racist country, that we're living in this like systemically oppressive construct.
00:07:16.000And I remember, Connor, we're kind of reminiscing on it right now.
00:07:19.000I remember being in the car and just selfie filming myself and just being like, really?
00:09:53.000I'm also not going to ask, act as if this is okay, as if this is normal.
00:09:58.000At the core of every liberalization movement that we have lived through in the last 20 or 30 years is a tyrannical campaign and plan to make you participate.
00:10:11.000It's not enough that you don't agree with the lifestyle.
00:10:14.000No, they must force you to all of a sudden celebrate it alongside of them.
00:10:18.000You must have your child be exposed to the drag queen story hour.
00:10:21.000You must have your child exposed to these sorts of things.
00:10:25.000It is not about live and let live and having this beautiful detente of you do you and I do me, man.
00:10:31.000No, it's if you don't do me, I'm going to use a gun and put it to your head and force you to put the patch on.
00:10:38.000Seinfeld was way ahead of its time with that beautiful piece of art there.
00:10:45.000We're blessed to live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:10:49.000Luke 1248 says, quote, to whom much has been given, much will be required.
00:12:00.000Charlie, I'm hearing from an extremely reliable person that night that Paul Pelosi was arrested for a DUI, that he had a sidearm handgun in his possession while intoxicated.
00:12:09.000It's one of the reasons that the DA is refusing to give more information on the arrest.
00:12:12.000They might drop the charges altogether.
00:12:15.000From Nate, who listens up in beautiful North Dakota.
00:12:22.000No, he's part of the untouchable class because Nancy Pelosi is very useful.
00:12:27.000But we also had another question that emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:12:30.000Charlie, I thought, so this is based on the story of Marine General John R. Allen, who led U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan and then ran the Brookings Institution.
00:12:42.000He has recently had his data seized by the FBI in what seems to be a soon-to-be indictment against him for illegally lobbying for Qatar and lobbying for their interests in Washington, D.C. Someone asked, they said, Charlie, I sent the story.
00:12:57.000They said, Charlie, I thought you said these people were untouchable.
00:13:00.000Well, there is a little bit of an asterisk to that, right?
00:13:02.000So they're untouchable as long as they are useful to the regime.
00:13:06.000But our current regime, they've studied closely and intently how the Soviet Union ran their country.
00:13:16.000You see that with the erroneous arrests.
00:13:18.000But we must understand that tyrants, when they're doing what they do best, which is evil, when they are executing their evil at their best, they must always keep the ruled and also the people around them on their toes.
00:13:34.000So if they want to actually hold on to political power, they must randomly pick off people and keep you on your toes.
00:13:41.000That think as if the sword of Damocles could drop on you at any time, that there must be a sense of paranoia.
00:13:47.000This is exactly why they were okay taking out Andrew Cuomo.
00:13:51.000Andrew Cuomo was unuseful, but they also kind of wanted to make an example.
00:13:55.000Like, hey, no one is above the rest around here.
00:13:58.000Everyone kind of worships at the altar of a couple political families, and we are the untouchables and you are not.
00:14:05.000So Marine General John R. Allen, who is soon to be indicted for his behind-the-scenes effort to help Qatar influence U.S. policy in 2017, it reminds me of something that Joseph Stalin did when he went after his own military generals almost inexplicably.
00:14:27.000One in particular was a man by the name of General Tukhachevsky.
00:14:31.000General Tukhachevsky was such a phenomenal military officer.
00:14:51.000Remember, paranoia goes both ways in authoritarian tyrannical governments.
00:14:55.000Tukhachevsky was starting to consolidate a lot of support domestically.
00:15:00.000And he had no ambitions, by the way, to take out Joseph Stalin, but it was enough for Stalin to include him in his multiple-year military purge.
00:15:10.000When you start to enter authoritarian and tyrannical governments, it's not just the political opponents that the regime goes after, but it's also the temporary political allies.
00:15:25.000Let me say that again, that authoritarians and tyrants will also go after their allies to try to consolidate support.
00:15:31.000So in the great purge that happened in 1968 to 1936 to 1938, sorry, basically in the year 1937, Joseph Stalin went on a great purge, killing thousands of random military generals and killing 1.2 million total people in the Soviet system.
00:15:53.000Now, he did this, he said, to try to get rid of the remaining influence of Leon Trotsky.
00:15:57.000But what he was really doing is trying to strike fear, a sense that anybody, anytime, could get a knock on their door and be sent to the gulag.
00:16:06.000That creates a renewed sense of loyalty and obedience.
00:16:10.000Our current regime is using that same sort of pattern of behavior.
00:16:14.000So when they go after this guy, John R. Allen, Marine General, what they're really doing, what the regime is actually doing is making an example, say, hey, you better listen to orders.
00:16:25.000Even he who ran NATO, who you thought was wearing the untouchable jersey, actually was not untouchable.
00:16:31.000Now, Paul Pelosi, that's not really, that doesn't do much for them.
00:16:34.000If they all of a sudden show Paul Pelosi going to jail, what's the significance of that?
00:16:38.000Now, sometimes some of these slip through the cracks where some of their people are such criminals, even though they're useful, they can't cover it up.
00:16:44.000Like Harvey Weinstein, they just got to throw it to the dogs, like, we can't handle it anymore.
00:16:48.000We just got to kind of cast them off the island.
00:16:49.000But Paul Pelosi didn't do anything that we know of that Harvey Weinstein did, had a DUI and a handgun and all that.
00:16:56.000Those things can be swept under the rug.
00:16:58.000And Pelosi is furiously, I'm sure, Nancy Pelosi making calls to go bail out her drunk husband who couldn't pay for an Uber, but decided to drive at 5.30 in the morning after a late night of sipping very expensive wine in Napa Valley.
00:17:13.000A regime will always try to keep you on their toes, but not just that.
00:17:18.000They need to keep the people around them on their toes because they are actually more paranoid than anybody else.
00:17:27.000Look, 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.
00:17:34.000He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.

00:18:20.000Well, they're ignoring it because it's not helpful to mention it.
00:18:24.000The fact that there was a legit assassination attempt against Brett Kavanaugh and his family.
00:18:28.000Now, we still don't know how the U.S. Marshals knew this person was going to drive up to Brett Kavanaugh's home.
00:18:34.000I would imagine through cell phone surveillance and all of that, that'd be an interesting thing to find out and actually be the best case for the Patriot Act that I've heard in quite some time because I haven't heard a good one in a long time because the Patriot Act and all this stuff seems to just be abused and spying on moms and dads that show up at school board meetings.
00:18:49.000But this has been bubbling up for quite some time.
00:18:53.000Remember back in May, Jen Psaki said that protests have been peaceful to date, and we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges' homes, even though that is a federal crime to go try to influence a Supreme Court opinion outside of a Supreme Court justice home.
00:19:08.000Do you think of a bunch of MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters showed up at Katangi Brown Jackson's home?
00:19:17.000I know that there's an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date, and we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges' homes, and that's the president's position.
00:19:29.000They continue to encourage it outside of judges' homes.
00:21:04.000Why wouldn't we have more security right now?
00:21:07.000Well, Pelosi has her own agenda, play Cut 65.
00:21:10.000With that, Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the Speaker's table S 4160, the Supreme Court Police Parity Act, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
00:21:23.000Under the guidelines consistently issued by successive speakers, as recorded in section 956 of the House Rules and Manual, the Chair is constrained not to entertain the request unless it has been cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee leaderships.
00:21:58.000They're certainly indifferent for it, though.
00:22:00.000They just don't care if Brett Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett or Clarence Thomas gets kidnapped with zip ties.
00:22:07.000Now, I don't know the specifics of this, but I don't know the details if this is legal, but I would imagine that there has to be some sort of an ability to get private security for them, regardless if Congress is going to allocate that.
00:22:24.000I'm sure there are some amazing veterans through private security contract forces that would be willing to almost volunteer their time to go protect Supreme Court justices right now.
00:22:35.000All of them, all nine of them, by the way, deserve protection: Kagan, Breyer, Katanji Brown Jackson, Sodomayor, Amy Coney Barrett, Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch.
00:23:31.000Certainly contributes to this overall threat landscape we've been talking a lot about.
00:23:35.000The major concern here with this abortion ruling from federal officials is that Supreme Court justices will certainly be, you know, potentially targeted by violent extremists who are angered over this pending ruling that is poised to strike down Roe v. Wade.
00:24:22.000Nancy Pelosi is willing to sprint at record pace with urgency to go give $40 billion to Vladimir Zelensky, but she blocks and stalls a bill to go give security for U.S. Supreme Court justices.
00:24:40.000The Senate unanimously passes the bill to give security to Supreme Court justices.
00:24:47.000This week, a lunatic from Pelosi's home state comes with zip ties to go kidnap and assassinate Brett Kavanaugh and has been indicted for attempted murder, and Pelosi won't move an inch.
00:25:02.000But Pelosi moves at record pace to give Ukraine $40 billion.
00:25:09.000Next question, Isaac from Mississippi.
00:25:12.000Charlie, what is SADS and where does it come from?
00:25:18.000So if you've been watching the news, that isn't the January 6th Committee primetime show.
00:25:24.000There is a new thing that is starting to gain some traction, which is called sudden adult death syndrome or sudden arrhythmic death syndrome.
00:25:34.000Either one works, where all of a sudden, healthy adults are just dropping dead inexplicably.
00:25:41.000That there are people that are perfectly healthy, they're adults, and they start dropping dead.
00:25:46.000This is being reported on more and more.
00:25:48.000Now, we started to see a lot of these stories over the last year, and you've sent us a lot of those stories at freedom at charliekirk.com of a lot of healthy young people that dropped dead inexplicably.
00:26:00.000Now, it just so happens those young people and those adults had recently got a COVID vaccine.
00:26:04.000But of course, there's no way that they could be connected because the vaccine is totally 100% safe, 100%.
00:26:12.000It's honestly a modern miracle, the mRNA technology.
00:26:15.000It's amazing that we're even able to mention it.
00:26:18.000In fact, the mRNA technology, the gene-altering technology, it might just be, it might be mana from heaven, actually.
00:26:45.000We just have suddenly all these extra deaths.
00:26:49.000And we know no, we have no idea why, but we do know that it's not the vaccine.
00:26:53.000That's the one thing that they can tell you for sure.
00:26:56.000There are too many powerful institutions and stakeholders involved here that all have huge interests in us not knowing what the side effects are of this vaccine.
00:27:06.000No, but it's definitely not because of the vaccine.
00:29:27.000We're seeing that in the lack of the widespread abortion protests.
00:29:31.000Now, there are some very serious, focused abortion protests, obviously, in the assassination attempts and the harassment of Supreme Court homes, but it's not in like every city, every pocket, like we saw in Floyd.
00:29:41.000What AOC is articulating is that we are an exhausted nation.
00:29:47.000The left is just as tired as the right is.
00:29:50.000And to use a sports analogy, it's whoever's going to want it more at this point.
00:30:21.000I don't think the resolve on the left is going to stay.
00:30:23.000I think they're going to get cynical and disengage.
00:30:26.000There is not another fever pitch they can get to.
00:30:29.000Whereas the conservative grassroots, we're here to stay.
00:30:34.000Families across the nation are experiencing the homeschool awakening.
00:30:38.000Join award-winning actor Kirk Cameron as he dives into adventures of dynamic American families on a mission to put fun and faith back into learning.
00:30:46.000Kirk was recently quoted by saying, quote, the pandemic made parents grossly aware of what the public schools are teaching our kids.
00:30:52.000It's up to us, the parents, to cultivate the hearts, souls, and minds of our children.
00:30:56.000Today's public school system is not working for us.
00:31:00.000Public education has become public enemy, number one, and I could not agree more.
00:31:04.000The Homeschool Awakening focuses on homeschooling journeys of different families, explores the in and outs and necessity of parents regaining their kids' education.
00:31:13.000It provides honest answers to the homeschooling, most frequently asked questions.
00:31:16.000Kirk Cammon presents the Homeschool Awakening coming to theaters this June for two nights only on Monday, June 13th and Tuesday, June 14th, 7 p.m. local time.

00:32:10.000DeSantis raises alarm over George Soros-backed buyout of Hispanic radio.
00:32:16.000Warning voters, the left is taking control of your local media, reads an English translation of the DeSantis campaign's ad, which will run on stations set to be acquired by a conglomerate financed by left-wing billionaire George Soros.
00:32:27.000Conservatives never should have allowed these radio stations to slip out of their grasp.
00:35:24.000Protecting the innocence of children is a moral good for all of society.
00:35:30.000You can judge a society on how they treat its children.
00:35:37.000When you think children can be discarded and turned into sexualized objects, what does that say about your culture, your laws, and your society?
00:35:44.000Laws point towards some sort of desired outcome.
00:35:48.000And we want laws to be small in number, but strong in enforcement.
00:35:52.000We do not believe in voluminous laws, as James Madison warned against.
00:35:57.000But the laws we do have need to reflect virtue.
00:35:59.000It needs to be done mostly on a state and local level.
00:36:02.000But every law advocates for some form of morality.
00:36:06.000There is no something, there is no thing such as a neutral morality.
00:36:14.000The new right, the new conservative movement, is willing to acknowledge that the morals that built the West, separation of powers, consent to the governed, protection of the innocent, the strong protecting the weak, is how we want to live.
00:36:25.000The left has been preaching their morality forever under the disguise and the camouflage that there's no morality behind their laws.
