The Charlie Kirk Show - Ask Charlie Anything 108: What is SADS? Tampa Bay Rays Pride? Pelosi Blocks SCOTUS Security? Brookings Institute President Indicted? And MORE

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody, happy Monday Ask Me Anything episode where I take your questions that you've emailed me throughout the week, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:06.000 What should we think about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers not putting the pride patch on their shoulder?

00:00:12.000 What 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?

00:00:21.000 What do we make of all these stories?

00:00:22.000 Well, that and so much more from the questions that you've emailed me, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:27.000 Get involved at Turning Point USA and come to our student action summit, Trump, DeSantis, Waters, and more.

00:00:33.000 Tpusa.com slash SAS.

00:00:39.000 A S. Buckle up everybody. 1.00

00:00:42.000 Here we go, Charlie.

00:00:44.000 What you've done is incredible here.

00:00:45.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:47.000 I want you to know.

00:00:48.000 We are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:51.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks.

00:00:54.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:55.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:56.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:58.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:03.000 Turning point.

00:01:04.000 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.

00:01:13.000 That's why we are here, brought to you by the loan experts.

00:01:18.000 I trust Andrew and Toddl at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrewandtodd.com.

00:01:25.000 Let's get to some questions here.

00:01:27.000 It's an ask me anything.

00:01:29.000 So let's get to some very important questions here.

00:01:31.000 Okay, Zach from Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills.

00:01:34.000 Love Calvary Chapel.

00:01:35.000 Love Jack Kibbs.

00:01:36.000 What is your opinion on several Tampa BAY baseball players who refused to wear the rainbow pride patches on their jerseys during the pride night?

00:01:43.000 Their pride night, instead sent out of the game.

00:01:46.000 I fully support it, I do.

00:01:48.000 I 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.

00:02:00.000 It's no longer about gay and lesbian acceptance no no, no.

00:02:05.000 It's about something much deeper than that and also something that is much more controversial than that.

00:02:11.000 It can mean now bringing children to drag queen bars.

00:02:16.000 It 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.

00:02:41.000 Now 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?

00:02:53.000 You don't want to put the button on from the Aids walk. 1.00

00:02:55.000 It'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.

00:03:10.000 He 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.

00:03:27.000 And 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.

00:03:38.000 And they say, what do you mean?

00:03:40.000 You want to put the rib on, and it's like this back and forth, like you must participate, you must be part of this.

00:03:45.000 It's not enough that you tolerate us, it's not enough that you accept us, it's not enough that you celebrate us.

00:03:52.000 No, you must participate.

00:03:55.000 And 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.

00:04:08.000 It's just not going to happen.

00:04:09.000 I'm not going to do it.

00:04:10.000 I don't believe in it.

00:04:11.000 I believe that marriage is one man and one woman.

00:04:14.000 I will tolerate things.

00:04:16.000 I will tolerate people of different lifestyles.

00:04:19.000 I will do so with compassion and truth and grace, but I'm not going to celebrate it.

00:04:23.000 I'm not going to accept it.

00:04:25.000 And I certainly won't participate in it.

00:04:28.000 And 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.

00:04:49.000 Here's just a very simple question.

00:04:50.000 Where does any person in America who is gay or lesbian not feel comfortable to come out as gay or lesbian?

00:04:57.000 Where does that place exist exactly?

00:05:00.000 In 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.

00:05:13.000 So the Tampa Bay players that are pushing back against it, God bless them, I totally support it.

00:05:18.000 And of course, the outrage from the media is they are homophobic.

00:05:20.000 No, no, no, hold on.

00:05:22.000 Again, there can be tolerance.

00:05:24.000 You could tolerate something having to wear a sticker on your jersey.

00:05:29.000 That's kind of, it's an interesting component of live and let live, isn't it?

00:05:32.000 So 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.

00:05:41.000 And we were naively put into this sort of paradigm.

00:05:45.000 But 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?

00:05:52.000 Like, okay, if you want to put the patch on, then great.

00:05:54.000 It could be optional, right?

00:05:55.000 No, but instead, it's that if you don't wear the patch, you can't even play the game.

00:06:01.000 That'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.

00:06:13.000 It's you must, you must conform.

00:06:16.000 You must bend the knee.

00:06:18.000 And remember, it's the same sort of virtue signaling that was demanded with the black squares. 0.96

00:06:24.000 I think we were one of the first people alongside Candace Owens to like go full all in against the black square thing. 0.99

00:06:32.000 I remember exactly where I was.

00:06:34.000 I was in Sarasota.

00:06:36.000 I had just, Andrew says, I think we were first.

00:06:39.000 Okay, well, maybe we were.

00:06:40.000 I don't know.

00:06:40.000 I don't want to take a victory lap without it being true.

00:06:45.000 Andrew remembers it.

00:06:45.000 This was two years ago, actually.

00:06:47.000 Exactly, I think.

00:06:49.000 And we just decided to go all in.

00:06:51.000 I grew up in America where race meant nothing to me.

00:06:53.000 It means nothing to me.

00:06:54.000 I don't care about race. 1.00

00:06:55.000 If you care about race, you're a sick person. 1.00

00:06:57.000 You're perverted if you care about race all the time. 1.00

00:06:59.000 You're racist. 1.00

00:07:00.000 We have a word for that. 0.99

00:07:01.000 Race means nothing to me.

00:07:02.000 Zero, irrelevant.

00:07:05.000 And 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.

00:07:16.000 And I remember, Connor, we're kind of reminiscing on it right now.

00:07:19.000 I remember being in the car and just selfie filming myself and just being like, really?

00:07:26.000 This is what we're doing?

00:07:27.000 Kind of black squares.

00:07:28.000 You're such a good person.

00:07:29.000 You'd be the first one to call the cops.

00:07:31.000 We could actually find that video and replay it.

00:07:34.000 And obviously that kind of was a little bit ahead of its time because eventually people kind of agreed to it.

00:07:42.000 So here's kind of a funny comedic take on it with the Tampa Bay thing.

00:07:45.000 Okay, Cut 100.

00:07:47.000 This is Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld.

00:07:50.000 What do you mean you don't want to wear the ribbon?

00:07:51.000 It's actually the same sort of group, the AIDS group, Play Cut 100.

00:07:57.000 Okay, you're checked in?

00:07:58.000 Thank you.

00:07:59.000 Here's your AIDS ribbon.

00:08:00.000 No, thanks.

00:08:01.000 You don't want to wear an AIDS ribbon? 0.92

00:08:02.000 No, no.

00:08:03.000 But you have to wear an AIDS ribbon.

00:08:04.000 I have to.

00:08:05.000 Yes.

00:08:06.000 Yeah, see, that's why I don't want to.

00:08:08.000 But everyone wears the ribbon.

00:08:09.000 You must wear the ribbon.

00:08:12.000 What you are? 0.94

00:08:13.000 You're a ribbon bully. 1.00

00:08:16.000 Come back here. 0.98

00:08:17.000 Come back here and put this on.

00:08:24.000 Hey, where's your ribbon?

00:08:25.000 Oh, I don't wear the ribbon.

00:08:26.000 You don't wear the ribbon?

00:08:28.000 Aren't you against AIDS?

00:08:29.000 Yeah, I'm against AIDS.

00:08:31.000 When I'm walking on my ribbon, who do you think you are?

00:08:35.000 Put the ribbon on.

00:08:36.000 Hey, Cedric, Bob.

00:08:39.000 And it goes on.

00:08:39.000 He gets beat up by the rainbow cartel in that show.

00:08:43.000 And again, look, we're against racism. 0.88

00:08:45.000 I just don't need to put the black square. 1.00

00:08:46.000 And he says, oh, because I have to wear the ribbon.

00:08:49.000 That's why I don't want to.

00:08:50.000 And Cosmo Kramer is kind of playing the character, if you will.

00:08:54.000 He is the metaphorical kind of, I don't have to put the Ukraine flag outside of my house.

00:09:00.000 I don't have to virtue signal to you to actually hate some of the things you also hate.

00:09:05.000 And also, there might be more nuance against this.

00:09:07.000 And also, if you're forcing me, I don't like it. 0.72

00:09:10.000 And Kramer just kind of, in this hilarious way, you're a ribbon bully. 0.91

00:09:13.000 And the woman just loses her mind. 1.00

00:09:15.000 And you kind of look at like, wow.

00:09:17.000 Seinfeld back in the 1990s, they saw these woke people coming well before we did.

00:09:23.000 And what do they do?

00:09:23.000 They made fun of them.

00:09:25.000 It's not enough to not be racist.

00:09:27.000 You have to be anti-racist.

00:09:28.000 It's not enough to be against AIDS, which every reasonable person is.

00:09:30.000 No, you have to wear the ribbon that they tell you against AIDS.

00:09:33.000 Not enough to be tolerant of people's lifestyles, of gay lifestyle, lesbian lifestyle. 1.00

00:09:39.000 No, you must wear the rainbow patch as you play a baseball game.

00:09:44.000 And if not, you're not allowed to play.

00:09:46.000 It's the exact same thing.

00:09:48.000 It is mandated celebration.

00:09:51.000 I'm not going to do it.

00:09:52.000 You shouldn't put up with it either.

00:09:53.000 I'm also not going to ask, act as if this is okay, as if this is normal.

00:09:58.000 At 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.

00:10:11.000 It's not enough that you don't agree with the lifestyle.

00:10:14.000 No, they must force you to all of a sudden celebrate it alongside of them.

00:10:18.000 You must have your child be exposed to the drag queen story hour. 1.00

00:10:21.000 You must have your child exposed to these sorts of things.

00:10:25.000 It is not about live and let live and having this beautiful detente of you do you and I do me, man. 0.85

00:10:31.000 No, 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.

00:10:38.000 Seinfeld was way ahead of its time with that beautiful piece of art there. 0.83

00:10:45.000 We're blessed to live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:10:49.000 Luke 1248 says, quote, to whom much has been given, much will be required.

00:10:53.000 We as Christians can shape our world.

00:10:55.000 One of these ways is how we steward our finances and our money.

00:10:58.000 If you have money and stocks, you have the power to affect change through your investments.

00:11:02.000 Jesus spoke about money in roughly 15% of his teachings and 11 out of 39 of his parables.

00:11:08.000 How do we follow his teachings about money?

00:11:10.000 Well, my friends at PAX Financial can help.

00:11:12.000 I've opened an account with them.

00:11:13.000 I think very highly of them.

00:11:15.000 They are fiduciaries that will make sure you have a responsible plan to retire.

00:11:19.000 I trust them with my money, and I hope you will as well.

00:11:22.000 But look, they'll also help you invest in companies that align with your beliefs.

00:11:25.000 No companies that engage in pornography or in excessive drinking or in a degenerate lifestyle.

00:11:33.000 If you have $150,000 to invest, please text my name, Charlie, to the number 74868.

00:11:39.000 And even if you don't have $150,000, maybe they'll make an exception for you.

00:11:43.000 I don't know, but just learn more about them.

00:11:45.000 Look, text Charlie to 74868.

00:11:48.000 Take advantage of the power to make a difference with your money.

00:11:50.000 PAX Financial.

00:11:51.000 It was great for me.

00:11:52.000 I think it will be terrific for you.

00:11:57.000 Here is a question.

00:11:58.000 It's about Paul Pelosi.

00:12:00.000 Charlie, 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.

00:12:09.000 It's one of the reasons that the DA is refusing to give more information on the arrest.

00:12:12.000 They might drop the charges altogether.

00:12:15.000 From Nate, who listens up in beautiful North Dakota.

00:12:20.000 So will Paul Pelosi be charged?

00:12:22.000 Probably not.

00:12:22.000 No, he's part of the untouchable class because Nancy Pelosi is very useful.

00:12:27.000 But we also had another question that emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:12:30.000 Charlie, 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.

00:12:42.000 He 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.

00:12:57.000 They said, Charlie, I thought you said these people were untouchable.

00:13:00.000 Well, there is a little bit of an asterisk to that, right?

00:13:02.000 So they're untouchable as long as they are useful to the regime.

00:13:06.000 But our current regime, they've studied closely and intently how the Soviet Union ran their country.

00:13:14.000 You see that with the show trials.

00:13:16.000 You see that with the erroneous arrests.

00:13:18.000 But 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.

00:13:34.000 So if they want to actually hold on to political power, they must randomly pick off people and keep you on your toes.

00:13:41.000 That think as if the sword of Damocles could drop on you at any time, that there must be a sense of paranoia.

00:13:47.000 This is exactly why they were okay taking out Andrew Cuomo.

00:13:51.000 Andrew Cuomo was unuseful, but they also kind of wanted to make an example.

00:13:55.000 Like, hey, no one is above the rest around here.

00:13:58.000 Everyone kind of worships at the altar of a couple political families, and we are the untouchables and you are not.

00:14:05.000 So 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.

00:14:27.000 One in particular was a man by the name of General Tukhachevsky.

00:14:31.000 General Tukhachevsky was such a phenomenal military officer.

00:14:35.000 He was nicknamed as the Red Napoleon.

00:14:38.000 He was prominent between 1918 and 1937 as a military officer and strategist.

00:14:44.000 He was one of the best that they had.

00:14:46.000 But Joseph Stalin started to get very worried about Tukhachevsky.

00:14:50.000 He started to get paranoid.

00:14:51.000 Remember, paranoia goes both ways in authoritarian tyrannical governments.

00:14:55.000 Tukhachevsky was starting to consolidate a lot of support domestically.

00:15:00.000 And 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.

00:15:10.000 When 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.

00:15:25.000 Let me say that again, that authoritarians and tyrants will also go after their allies to try to consolidate support.

00:15:31.000 So 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.

00:15:53.000 Now, he did this, he said, to try to get rid of the remaining influence of Leon Trotsky.

00:15:57.000 But 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.

00:16:05.000 What does that do?

00:16:06.000 That creates a renewed sense of loyalty and obedience.

00:16:10.000 Our current regime is using that same sort of pattern of behavior.

00:16:14.000 So 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.

00:16:23.000 You better not step out of line.

00:16:25.000 Even he who ran NATO, who you thought was wearing the untouchable jersey, actually was not untouchable.

00:16:31.000 Now, Paul Pelosi, that's not really, that doesn't do much for them.

00:16:34.000 If they all of a sudden show Paul Pelosi going to jail, what's the significance of that?

00:16:38.000 Now, 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.

00:16:44.000 Like Harvey Weinstein, they just got to throw it to the dogs, like, we can't handle it anymore.

00:16:48.000 We just got to kind of cast them off the island.

00:16:49.000 But Paul Pelosi didn't do anything that we know of that Harvey Weinstein did, had a DUI and a handgun and all that.

00:16:56.000 Those things can be swept under the rug.

00:16:58.000 And 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.

00:17:13.000 A regime will always try to keep you on their toes, but not just that.

00:17:18.000 They need to keep the people around them on their toes because they are actually more paranoid than anybody else.

00:17:27.000 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.

00:17:34.000 He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.

00:17:36.000 Now Mike has done it again by introducing my slippers.

00:17:39.000 For unlimited time, you'll save $90 on a pair of my slippers.

00:18:13.000 This is Kevin from Rhode Island.

00:18:15.000 Charlie, what do you make of the assassination attempt against Brett Kavanaugh?

00:18:18.000 Why is the media ignoring this?

00:18:20.000 Well, they're ignoring it because it's not helpful to mention it.

00:18:24.000 The fact that there was a legit assassination attempt against Brett Kavanaugh and his family.

00:18:28.000 Now, we still don't know how the U.S. Marshals knew this person was going to drive up to Brett Kavanaugh's home.

00:18:34.000 I 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.

00:18:49.000 But this has been bubbling up for quite some time.

00:18:53.000 Remember 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.

00:19:08.000 Do you think of a bunch of MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters showed up at Katangi Brown Jackson's home?

00:19:13.000 Do you think they would be arrested?

00:19:15.000 Play Cut 62.

00:19:17.000 I 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.

00:19:29.000 They continue to encourage it outside of judges' homes.

00:19:32.000 And that is the president's position.

00:19:34.000 Thankfully, the U.S. Marshals were there to intercept this soon-to-be lunatic, this soon-to-be murderer. 0.96

00:19:42.000 He had rope. 0.92

00:19:46.000 He had knives.

00:19:47.000 He had a gun.

00:19:49.000 Now, the organization that is organizing this is called Ruth Sent Us.

00:19:54.000 We don't know who's funding Ruth Sent Us.

00:19:56.000 We should find out.

00:19:58.000 Ruth Sent Us is a very radical pro-abortion group.

00:20:05.000 They have hinted for quite some time at targeting Justice Amy Coney Barrett's children and their church.

00:20:11.000 Now, I think it's very fair to say that these justices need protection, that these justices need some form of security.

00:20:26.000 Cut 65, though, House Democrats don't agree.

00:20:30.000 The House Democrats seem indifferent if Brett Kavanaugh gets popped off.

00:20:34.000 I'm not saying they want that, but they seem indifferent.

00:20:37.000 That if Brett Kavanaugh got assassinated, would Nancy Pelosi be upset or would she look at it as an opportunity?

00:20:43.000 I don't know.

00:20:44.000 That's an open question.

00:20:45.000 But what we do know is House Democrats just blocked a bill to provide more security for Supreme Court justices and their family.

00:20:52.000 It passed unanimously in the Senate, unanimously in the Senate.

00:20:55.000 But Pelosi blocked it.

00:20:57.000 Security for Supreme Court justices, even though there's assassination attempts?

00:21:01.000 What is Pelosi getting at here?

00:21:02.000 Of course, Pelosi gets security.

00:21:04.000 Why wouldn't we have more security right now?

00:21:07.000 Well, Pelosi has her own agenda, play Cut 65. 0.99

00:21:10.000 With 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.

00:21:23.000 Under 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.

00:21:37.000 Cleared on the Republican side.

00:21:39.000 Is the gentleman asking a parliamentarian question?

00:21:42.000 No, I'm just stating that there is no objection on the Republican side, so that would only be the Democrats holding the bill up.

00:21:48.000 The Democrats are holding up the security for Supreme Court justices.

00:21:54.000 Do they want something to happen to Brett Kavanaugh?

00:21:57.000 I don't think so.

00:21:58.000 They're certainly indifferent for it, though.

00:22:00.000 They just don't care if Brett Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett or Clarence Thomas gets kidnapped with zip ties.

00:22:07.000 Now, 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.

00:22:24.000 I'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.

00:22:35.000 All 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.

00:22:49.000 They all deserve protection.

00:22:50.000 And Kavanaugh, they all deserve protection, increased protection.

00:22:54.000 Why is this controversial?

00:22:57.000 It does start to make you ask uncomfortable questions.

00:23:01.000 Makes me uncomfortable.

00:23:05.000 They couldn't want this, could they?

00:23:06.000 They couldn't want Supreme Court justices to die.

00:23:12.000 But they're not doing anything to fix it.

00:23:13.000 So it makes you kind of go into this, the waters of uncomfortable, open-ended questions.

00:23:19.000 But CNN is already doing what CNN does. 0.93

00:23:21.000 They blame Republicans for the fact that left-wing lunatics want to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh. 0.85

00:23:28.000 Play cut 64. 0.57

00:23:31.000 Certainly contributes to this overall threat landscape we've been talking a lot about.

00:23:35.000 The 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.

00:23:49.000 There are emotions on both sides.

00:23:50.000 Federal officials have made clear over and over they believe the risk truly comes from both sides of this abortion debate.

00:23:57.000 So certainly this case is really solidifying what federal officials have been warning about.

00:24:02.000 People are angry.

00:24:03.000 They might seek to use the abortion ruling as a justification to cause violence.

00:24:08.000 It can't just be a left-wing thing, right?

00:24:11.000 Really makes you ask uncomfortable questions.

00:24:13.000 Why would Democrats hold that up?

00:24:16.000 And there's no good answer to that.

00:24:18.000 There isn't.

00:24:20.000 So let me get this straight.

00:24:22.000 Nancy 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. 0.99

00:24:38.000 Why?

00:24:40.000 The Senate unanimously passes the bill to give security to Supreme Court justices.

00:24:47.000 This 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.

00:25:02.000 But Pelosi moves at record pace to give Ukraine $40 billion.

00:25:09.000 Next question, Isaac from Mississippi.

00:25:12.000 Charlie, what is SADS and where does it come from?

00:25:16.000 I'm really confused.

00:25:17.000 Thank you.

00:25:18.000 So if you've been watching the news, that isn't the January 6th Committee primetime show.

00:25:24.000 There is a new thing that is starting to gain some traction, which is called sudden adult death syndrome or sudden arrhythmic death syndrome.

00:25:34.000 Either one works, where all of a sudden, healthy adults are just dropping dead inexplicably.

00:25:41.000 That there are people that are perfectly healthy, they're adults, and they start dropping dead.

00:25:46.000 This is being reported on more and more.

00:25:48.000 Now, 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.

00:26:00.000 Now, it just so happens those young people and those adults had recently got a COVID vaccine.

00:26:04.000 But of course, there's no way that they could be connected because the vaccine is totally 100% safe, 100%.

00:26:12.000 It's honestly a modern miracle, the mRNA technology.

00:26:15.000 It's amazing that we're even able to mention it.

00:26:18.000 In fact, the mRNA technology, the gene-altering technology, it might just be, it might be mana from heaven, actually.

00:26:26.000 Play cut 79.

00:26:28.000 Baffled by increase in sudden adult death syndrome. 1.00

00:26:34.000 Are they that stupid? 1.00

00:26:36.000 I don't think that they're stupid. 1.00

00:26:37.000 I think that they think we are stupid. 1.00

00:26:40.000 And I mean, they're kind of right. 1.00

00:26:43.000 Sudden adult death syndrome, really?

00:26:45.000 We just have suddenly all these extra deaths.

00:26:49.000 And we know no, we have no idea why, but we do know that it's not the vaccine.

00:26:53.000 That's the one thing that they can tell you for sure.

00:26:56.000 There 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.

00:27:06.000 No, but it's definitely not because of the vaccine.

00:27:08.000 That we know.

00:27:09.000 Maybe Trump voters.

00:27:10.000 It might be because of insurrectionists.

00:27:13.000 It might also, you know what?

00:27:15.000 It might be because of the big lie.

00:27:16.000 That's why people are just dropping dead.

00:27:18.000 Or it might be Tucker Carlson's fault, but it certainly is not the vaccine.

00:27:23.000 So, Isaac from Mississippi, here's what I can tell you.

00:27:26.000 It certainly is not the vaccine. 0.99

00:27:27.000 White supremacists might be the reason why people are dropping dead. 0.98

00:27:32.000 Trump voters, but the vaccine, come on. 0.99

00:27:37.000 It's not like we mandated it and a bunch of people took it.

00:27:40.000 Perfectly safe.

00:27:43.000 Let's get to the next question here.

00:27:46.000 We got some really good ones coming here.

00:27:48.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:27:51.000 Let's get to this one here.

00:27:52.000 Charlie, did you see AOC's recent comments on the Republican Party and what is your reaction?

00:27:58.000 I did see them, and that is Andrew from Utah.

00:28:00.000 Thank you.

00:28:01.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:28:03.000 Let's play cut two.

00:28:04.000 AOC says they're doing everything they can to give up, and that's not just the Republican Party to get you to give up.

00:28:09.000 Play cut two.

00:28:11.000 And I'm not trying to give people some kind of like corny.

00:28:15.000 They seek to extinguish your hope.

00:28:18.000 They seek to extinguish your faith.

00:28:20.000 They seek to extinguish your desire to fight for a better future.

00:28:26.000 They are doing everything they can to get you to give up.

00:28:29.000 And that's not just the Republican Party.

00:28:32.000 This is the entire power structure of this country.

00:28:35.000 It's funny because we say the exact same thing that you're trying to get us to give up, AOC, which is exactly what you're trying to do.

00:28:43.000 But she kind of looked disheveled.

00:28:44.000 She's also just, quite honestly, she's just become more delusional recently.

00:28:48.000 I know she just recently got engaged, and good for her. 0.99

00:28:51.000 We believe marriage is a beautiful thing, but she's just become completely out of control. 0.99

00:28:57.000 And she just went off the grid for a long time.

00:28:59.000 She started like really screaming at Elon Musk.

00:29:01.000 I'm selling my Tesla.

00:29:02.000 Okay, crazy cat person.

00:29:06.000 And she came back engaged, like, congratulations.

00:29:09.000 I hope you live a good life.

00:29:11.000 But she's just saying these crazy things lately, AOC.

00:29:14.000 And that really is saying something because she's set the bar pretty high there.

00:29:19.000 But she's kind of basically giving us a little bit of a window that people on the left are starting to give up.

00:29:26.000 And we're seeing that.

00:29:27.000 We're seeing that in the lack of the widespread abortion protests.

00:29:31.000 Now, 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.

00:29:41.000 What AOC is articulating is that we are an exhausted nation.

00:29:47.000 The left is just as tired as the right is.

00:29:50.000 And to use a sports analogy, it's whoever's going to want it more at this point.

00:29:53.000 It's the fourth quarter.

00:29:54.000 It's the final phase.

00:29:55.000 Who wants it more? 0.90

00:29:57.000 The left has done such incredible damage to this country, and AOC has been a beneficiary of that damage.

00:30:03.000 And it looks like they're going to give up is what it looks like.

00:30:06.000 And I'll be honest, they are fragile people.

00:30:09.000 They are.

00:30:09.000 They might be slick.

00:30:11.000 They're deceitful. 1.00

00:30:12.000 They're treacherous and they're arrogant. 1.00

00:30:15.000 But they're very fragile. 0.99

00:30:16.000 You misgender them.

00:30:17.000 They run for a safe space.

00:30:21.000 I don't think the resolve on the left is going to stay.

00:30:23.000 I think they're going to get cynical and disengage.

00:30:26.000 There is not another fever pitch they can get to.

00:30:29.000 Whereas the conservative grassroots, we're here to stay.

00:30:34.000 Families across the nation are experiencing the homeschool awakening.

00:30:38.000 Join 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.

00:30:46.000 Kirk was recently quoted by saying, quote, the pandemic made parents grossly aware of what the public schools are teaching our kids.

00:30:52.000 It's up to us, the parents, to cultivate the hearts, souls, and minds of our children.

00:30:56.000 Today's public school system is not working for us.

00:30:58.000 They're actively working against us.

00:31:00.000 Public education has become public enemy, number one, and I could not agree more.

00:31:04.000 The Homeschool Awakening focuses on homeschooling journeys of different families, explores the in and outs and necessity of parents regaining their kids' education.

00:31:13.000 It provides honest answers to the homeschooling, most frequently asked questions.

00:31:16.000 Kirk 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.

00:31:25.000 For tickets and information, visit thehomeschoolawakening.com.

00:31:28.000 That's thehomeschoolawakening.com.

00:31:33.000 Let's go to this one here.

00:31:35.000 Hey, Charlie, the work you're doing is amazing.

00:31:37.000 Life-changing events.

00:31:38.000 Keep it up.

00:31:39.000 Have you ever thought about reaching the Hispanic community?

00:31:41.000 I asked because I'm still new to this.

00:31:42.000 And I don't know if you already have, John Vargas.

00:31:45.000 Yes, we have our Young Latino Leadership Summit at Turning Point USA.

00:31:48.000 We also have bilingual influencers and contributors.

00:31:51.000 I think that we need to do more.

00:31:52.000 And George Soros just recently purchased major Hispanic conservative radio stations.

00:31:58.000 Now, why conservatives allowed this to happen is beyond me.

00:32:02.000 I think there were some other people involved in trying to purchase.

00:32:05.000 There was this whole backstory here.

00:32:07.000 So this is a story.

00:32:10.000 DeSantis raises alarm over George Soros-backed buyout of Hispanic radio.

00:32:16.000 Warning 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.

00:32:27.000 Conservatives never should have allowed these radio stations to slip out of their grasp.

00:32:34.000 Why are conservatives not doing this?

00:32:36.000 We need to start buying their media assets.

00:32:38.000 We need to start taking their things.

00:32:42.000 Instead, Soros is playing offense and he's good at it.

00:32:45.000 You got to give him credit.

00:32:46.000 He doesn't stop.

00:32:47.000 George Soros is very, very good at it.

00:32:50.000 So, yes, there's a lot.

00:32:52.000 Elon Musk buying Twitter is a big thing.

00:32:54.000 By the way, we got a lot of questions on that.

00:32:56.000 Like, what is going on with that?

00:32:58.000 We don't know.

00:32:59.000 I don't think Elon knows.

00:33:01.000 I think Elon is getting a final report on how many bots there are.

00:33:07.000 And so it remains to be seen whether or not the Twitter transaction will actually go through.

00:33:11.000 We certainly hope it does.

00:33:12.000 Censorship is central to this regime.

00:33:14.000 Their ability to silence you is central to everything they try to do as a central organizing principle.

00:33:24.000 Here's a question here.

00:33:26.000 Yesterday, when I was driving to Austin, I saw a billboard right outside of Austin, Texas, somewhere between Georgetown and Round Rock.

00:33:33.000 It said, quote, Biden started drilling for oil in Texas, not other countries.

00:33:37.000 My question is: can Texas start its own pipeline?

00:33:39.000 Also just caught the segment with Drew Hernandez.

00:33:41.000 I know he showed Arizona what happened to Abbott shipping illegals to Washington, D.C. Abbott only shipped like 800 to 900 illegals.

00:33:47.000 It was mostly a publicity stunt.

00:33:49.000 Texas can do its own pipeline.

00:33:51.000 Texas can build its own border wall.

00:33:53.000 Texas can start its own Texas Border Patrol.

00:33:55.000 And Texas can deport people if they want to.

00:33:58.000 A state is sovereign, whether you want to believe that or not.

00:34:02.000 The states created the federal government.

00:34:04.000 The federal government did not create the states.

00:34:06.000 And if the federal government is not going to do their job, the states have to step up and do it themselves.

00:34:10.000 We need governors who do not believe in excuses anymore.

00:34:13.000 Enforce your own law.

00:34:14.000 Defy the federal government.

00:34:17.000 Make Joe Biden go send a bunch of federal agents after Greg Abbott.

00:34:22.000 It'll be a showdown with the Texas Rangers.

00:34:23.000 Good luck.

00:34:24.000 You'll lose.

00:34:26.000 So can Texas start its own pipeline?

00:34:28.000 Of course it can.

00:34:29.000 These states have way more power than people realize.

00:34:32.000 And it's time for states to start using that power.

00:34:35.000 The tyranny goes all one way.

00:34:39.000 The federal government is squeezing the states every single day, suffocating them.

00:34:45.000 And we just take it.

00:34:46.000 It's time for the states to punch back.

00:34:48.000 The only way to deal with the bully is punch back twice as hard.

00:34:51.000 It's the only way.

00:34:53.000 So why are we putting up with this?

00:34:54.000 Well, it's because of decency and tradition.

00:34:56.000 You mean the tradition of the federal government destroying your life?

00:35:01.000 I don't like that tradition.

00:35:03.000 Here's another story here from Paul or Jen from Fort Worth.

00:35:07.000 Charlie, should we ban drag shows for kids?

00:35:10.000 Is that an appropriate use of state power?

00:35:11.000 Of course it is, obviously.

00:35:12.000 This is not even a question.

00:35:15.000 If the state's good for anything, it's protecting children.

00:35:18.000 For example, protecting children from pornography.

00:35:20.000 That's why we partner with Canopy.

00:35:22.000 Protecting children from predators.

00:35:24.000 Protecting the innocence of children is a moral good for all of society.

00:35:30.000 You can judge a society on how they treat its children.
