00:00:11.000So, all throughout the week, when you email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com, we enjoy hearing from you, so please keep that up.
00:00:17.000Thank you for supporting us at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:20.000That is charliekirk.com/slash/support to get behind the work we are doing.
00:01:20.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:32.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:40.000Charlie, I grew up in America where we celebrated Top Gun, the original, where we were proud to be an American and we were proud of the values we represented around the world.
00:01:53.000Now we have BLM flags and pride flags flying at embassies across the world.
00:01:58.000We have an assault on traditional values.
00:02:00.000How do we stop America from exporting this poison to the rest of the world?
00:02:06.000I can't believe I'm asking that as a proud patriot, but what do we have to do now to save the world from ourselves?
00:02:16.000It's a very insightful and wise question.
00:02:20.000This is one of the reasons why I tell everyone to be careful about America meddling in other countries' affairs.
00:02:26.000When they say we are going to bring American values to Ukraine, what do they mean by that?
00:02:31.000They mean an abortion clinic on every corner.
00:02:35.000They mean they want to bring sex education to nine-year-olds.
00:02:38.000They want to make sure drag queens are in Kyiv.
00:02:42.000They want to put BLM flags on embassies.
00:02:46.000U.S. embassies across the world are going to be flying Black Lives Matter flags.
00:02:54.000Secretary Blinken authorizing U.S. embassies to fly BLM flags for Juneteenth.
00:03:01.000Yes, the very same BLMs that burned and looted and unfortunately had murder, burn, loot, murder, BLM during Floyd Apalooza.
00:03:15.000That's that probably illegally embezzled funds and lied about it on their nonprofit forms.
00:03:24.000But they get to have their flags flown from our embassies.
00:03:29.000When they say they want to bring American values to other countries, they're talking about left-wing, radical ideas and values.
00:03:38.000The ideas that we now have in our own country and are exporting are a threat to other countries.
00:03:46.000We're not exporting separation of powers and consent to the governed and self-government and individual liberty.
00:03:52.000No, we're exporting drag queens and BLM flags.
00:03:59.000Now, I have a lot of respect for Tom Cotton.
00:04:02.000I think Tom Cotton is right on almost every major issue, but I have big disagreements with him.
00:04:07.000And disagreement is fun amongst people that respect each other on foreign policy.
00:04:13.000So Senator Tom Cotton goes on the program here, and he perfectly disassembles this.
00:04:20.000But I'm going to add a little bit of context and push back a little bit on Tom Cotton because he has been a major sponsor of trying to build this monolith of foreign engagement and involvement, especially in Ukraine and other theaters around the world.
00:04:38.000Well, the more money you give them, Senator Cotton, don't you make that very same enterprise more likely to do things like this?
00:04:45.000Listen to this clip of Senator Tom Cotton's appropriate takedown, and I'm going to add a little bit of a wrinkle to it.
00:05:33.000When you go spend $40 billion and send it to Ukraine, when we build this massive national defense structure, do you think that you're actually funding an enterprise that cares about the flag?
00:05:44.000No, you're funding an enterprise that cares about the trans LGBT agenda.
00:05:51.000You know, this is a hard thing for people to recognize and realize our military is quickly becoming an owned and operated enterprise of the Alphabet Mafia and BLM racial arsonist agenda.
00:06:03.000Now, you won't be able to hear this on radio or on the podcast, but we will be able to show this on the live stream.
00:06:07.000We're going to write this up at charliekirk.com.
00:08:02.000As we build this massive military-industrial complex, we are not funding the same military or the same adventures abroad that you might have grown up in.
00:08:12.000This is a completely different military.
00:08:16.000Not the troops themselves or the heroes that are actually doing the work, but at the top levels.
00:08:21.000And yes, it is hierarchical and they do give orders and they have to follow orders.
00:08:27.000The State Department now has a diversity, equity, and inclusion officer.
00:08:31.000The display of the BLM in Progress flied flags, include at the U.S. Embassy in Vatican City, is just part of the State Department's woke equity agenda, spearheaded by Ambassador Gina Abercrombie, Wynne Stanley, the department's first chief diversity and inclusion officer.
00:08:51.000So if you're like, hey, we got to get involved in more wars overseas, understand that the regime that you are supporting, not the country you're supporting.
00:09:15.000It's a different organization than the country that you love.
00:09:20.000The disconnect between the people that run the country and the people that are ruled has never been so broad.
00:09:27.000The 19-page document from the U.S. State Department promises, quote, to embed equity into U.S. foreign policies, quote, quote, to embed intersectional equity principles into diversifying public diplomacy, and quote, increase inclusive, equitable messaging and to combat disinformation.
00:09:43.000So you might have a question: well, Charlie, how do we fix this?
00:09:47.000You start by fixing it by opposing the wars and the initiatives, the projects, and the permanent funding pipeline to so many of these incredibly broken and woke and unfortunately anti-Western enterprises that our own government is funding and fostering.
00:10:09.000So when I hear, you know, oh, we're going to go support Zelensky, front page of the New York Times, yeah, I don't like Putin.
00:11:13.000And I want to tell you about this limited time deal.

00:13:07.000Is there anyone pushing back against this?
00:13:10.000So look, I just want to reiterate that vaccine companies have pushed this onto little kids because they want to get it onto the official childhood schedule, vaccination schedule, for liability protection.
00:13:21.000Similar to the WHO story that we talked about and covered in great detail, states can push back against this.
00:13:28.000And there is one governor who is pushing back against this.
00:14:30.000But we're talking about children that don't have a choice.
00:14:34.000And some parents are going to be pressured by doctors, by institutions to give a vaccine against a virus that does not pose a significant risk for them.
00:14:47.000And by the way, a vaccine that does not even prevent getting the virus.
00:14:53.000Just ask Anthony Fauci, as he now has the virus.
00:14:58.000Cut 109, Governor Ron DeSantis defends Florida being the only state to not pre-order COVID vaccines for kids under five and recommends against taking it.
00:15:09.000Why is every Republican governor not doing this?
00:15:11.000Why are other Republican governors ordering the vaccine?
00:17:59.000Ron DeSantis is finally talking against this.
00:18:02.000So, Susie, to answer your question from Antioch, Illinois, you might have to move to Florida to protect your kids.

00:18:56.000We have Carl from Tennessee says, Charlie, I saw that Turning Point USA is not having off as a federal holiday for Juneteenth.
00:19:39.000Let's stop looking at things as they tell them as they are and really what's going on here.
00:19:43.000What's really going on here is a BLM holiday to try to focus on alleged systemic racism, to resurrect a propaganda campaign to try and focus on racial differences and to try and have a point of reference right before July 4th, by the way, intentionally summertime holiday to have the worst people you could imagine, Ibram X. Kendi being one of them,
00:20:13.000and Robin DiAngelo and Nicole Hannah Jones give them a day where they could become incredibly relevant to talk about, well, yeah, of course, Juneteenth was nice, but really we're more racist than ever.
00:20:27.000That's exactly the wording they're going to use.
00:20:29.000It's like, oh, yeah, whatever, Juneteenth day that what's really going on is Juneteenth is to show that, look at systemic racism and inequality and inequity.
00:20:38.000And some Republicans will say, oh, no, no, you know, Juneteenth is a conservative day because it's about the freeing of slaves.
00:20:45.000Of course, if we weren't talking about another political movement that wants us to try to have a federal holiday where they can corrupt the American flag, done, Tempe, Arizona, they took down all the American flags and put up BLM Juneteenth flags and then have an unnecessary, unhelpful, entire massive propaganda campaign that will be happening on TikTok, on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram,
00:21:15.000You really think that the theme that you're going to get forward from the mainstream media on Juneteenth as this is celebrated is going to be all about how Republicans ended slavery?
00:21:27.000You think that's what this is going to be about?
00:21:29.000Yeah, just like how the left is never going to come after your children.
00:22:48.000100,000 people came to Point State Park for the Western PA Juneteenth Festival because it's America's Second Independence Day, and everybody should be celebrating this.
00:22:58.000And we just don't want to have it a big party.
00:23:00.000We want people to have some confidence about what Juneteenth is about.
00:23:54.000Ibram X. Kendi, like one of the most despicable thought leaders, I suppose you could say, in the racial arsonist movement, someone who supports racial segregation of white people.
00:24:07.000The only way to fix segregation of yesterday is to have segregation today.
00:24:13.000That is an exact quote from his book, How to Be an Anti-Racist.
00:24:17.000His real name is Henry Rogers, but he thinks you'll take him more seriously, Ibram X. Kendi.
00:24:47.000What Juneteenth means to me in 2022 is really the power of the freedom dream, to use a term by Robin D.G. Kelly.
00:25:00.000And for me, part of that power is being reminded that my ancestors dreamed for freedom even when freedom seemed distant, even when freedom was sailing away, even when the status quo and the slave power was growing stronger, as racist power is today, as change, radical transformation seems to be floating away to us.
00:25:30.000That Juneteenth means to me that our ancestors still did not waver.
00:25:36.000They still believed the impossible was possible.
00:25:39.000Yeah, it still means the revolution continues, doesn't it?
00:25:45.000What kind of propaganda technique is that?
00:25:47.000And by the way, he talks in this kind of slow syntax because he thinks you're going to take what he says more seriously because he sounds somewhat intellectual.
00:26:09.000When I first heard that we were doing an episode about Juneteenth, I was excited because this show is based around a predominantly black family.
00:26:14.000It's our story and it needs to be shared and the story needs to be told.
00:26:18.000So I'm excited to be able to share the story with all the black girls and boys that watch our show.
00:26:58.000I'm glad that you'll be celebrating that.
00:27:00.000I guarantee you, the theme, the undercurrent of Juneteenth from the black intelligentsia and from the white liberal intelligentsia that come together with this will not be how thankful they are.
00:27:13.000It will be about how much work they still have to do and how it's slipping out of their grasp because of the threat to democracy.
00:27:20.000Let's now cut to the January 6th Committee.
00:27:22.000Now, Joe Biden signed it into law thanks to the help of Republicans.
00:27:27.000Cut 139, Joe Biden has no idea what Juneteenth actually is.
00:28:05.000So I'm sure you're seeing a lot of social media graphics go around that says Republicans decided to vote against the emancipation of slaves as a holiday.
00:28:16.000So Juneteenth should not be a federal holiday.
00:28:18.000So Juneteenth, at its best possible reading, is a day to remember news that hit Galveston, Texas about the emancipation of slaves, something that we're all very happy about.
00:29:09.000How much longer is the United States going to stand by and be led by a man from day to day who doesn't know what he was doing or what day it is?
00:31:35.000Meaning that if I thought everyone would just leave themselves alone and leave others alone and I could just live in the hills and I would be self-governed and no one would bother me and my nation would be preserved against enemies foreign and domestic, it sounds really kind of good, doesn't it?
00:31:55.000Now, I know we're defining terms here, and there might be some disagreement on how we're defining them.
00:32:02.000But largely, I would say libertarianism, and especially from the libertarian party, there is this commitment to idealistic neutrality, that I won't come after your stuff or your way of life, and you won't come after my stuff and my way of life.
00:32:24.000It's unbelievably unrealistic right now in the country that we're living in.
00:32:29.000Some libertarians I talk to, not all of them, are, they say that they believe that there is no place for them to get engaged, even if they don't like the outcome.
00:32:45.000We as conservatives would say there are certain things, especially the protection of children, especially parental representation in matters of education, especially borders, where it is necessary for the state to take clear, prudent action to protect liberty.
00:33:07.000For example, a conservative would be unafraid to say that we need to have checks and balances against Silicon Valley companies.
00:33:13.000Many libertarians would say, oh, no, there's no way we should get involved in the market.
00:33:17.000What happens when Google and Facebook is more powerful than your own government?
00:33:52.000But I'm definitely an ally with libertarians on a couple issues, which is I do believe in separation of powers.
00:33:59.000I do believe in the consent of the governed.
00:34:01.000I think we can agree on the United States Constitution, and we can certainly agree on the Second Amendment.
00:34:06.000Libertarians are very good on the Second Amendment.
00:34:09.000But there is kind of a, I don't want to say agnosticism, that's not the right word, but there's a neutrality that we won't get involved on the social sphere as well.
00:34:20.000So a libertarian would see something like children going to a bar.
00:34:24.000And a lot of them have said this, including David French, saying, I think that's wrong, but I don't think it should be illegal.
00:34:30.000We as conservatives would say, no, no, no, there needs to be a law against that.
00:34:35.000That there needs to be a punishment if you put your child in harm's way and bring them to a drag bar where it says it's not going to lick itself.
00:34:45.000If you're not under 21, I think that's beyond fair or under 18 or whatever it is.
00:34:50.000There are libertarians that wrote article after article saying the conservative outrage against drag queens is inappropriate, meaning that they say, how dare you want to use the government to protect children?
00:35:02.000I just, we have a completely different view of that as conservatives.
00:35:06.000But I think libertarians, and I also disagree largely on drug policy too, with libertarians, but I think there is commonality, though.
00:35:16.000I think many libertarians actually want to live in the same sort of country that I do, many of them, not all of them.
00:35:26.000I think that there is a desire to want to pursue liberty and self-government, checks and balances.
00:35:35.000Where I do disagree, though, is cultural libertarians that will celebrate kind of drug usage or prostitution.
00:35:44.000That is a small, that's a small fringe group of libertarians, though it is.
00:35:49.000But conservatives, as best articulated by Russell Kirk, no relation, in The Conservative Mind from Burke to Elliot, he really articulated what it is that makes a conservative different than a libertarian.
00:36:04.000I don't have time to dive into all of that today, but probably one of the great articulations of our philosophy and our political views.
00:36:14.000So we'll have to talk about that another time.
00:36:18.000Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
00:36:20.000Email me your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
