00:00:32.000 Here we go.

00:00:33.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:35.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:37.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:40.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:44.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:45.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:46.000 His spirit is love of this country.

00:00:47.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:53.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:00:54.000 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.

00:01:03.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:06.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:15.000 This is Brenda from Colorado.

00:01:18.000 Now that the CDC has finally updated its guidelines, shouldn't everyone who lost their jobs get them back with back pay?

00:01:24.000 Yes.

00:01:25.000 So the CDC has now put out new guidelines.

00:01:29.000 They're saying those exposed to the virus are no longer required to quarantine.

00:01:35.000 Unvaccinated people now have the same guidance as vaccinated people.

00:01:39.000 Students can stay in class after being exposed to the virus, and it's no longer recommended to screen those without symptoms.

00:01:46.000 Basically, they're saying, oops, my bad.

00:01:50.000 Sorry for destroying your civilization.

00:01:53.000 Sorry for the suicides and the...

00:01:55.000 Actually, you know what?

00:01:56.000 Let me rephrase that.

00:01:59.000 They're not saying sorry.

00:02:02.000 There's no apology.

00:02:04.000 They just issue it.

00:02:06.000 Like, oh, by the way, here we go.

00:02:08.000 There's no repentance.

00:02:10.000 There's no acknowledgement of error.

00:02:14.000 The science is the same.

00:02:15.000 Now, here's one of the problems with science in the modern world, not a problem with science in general.

00:02:21.000 Two things.

00:02:22.000 They always say follow the science.

00:02:24.000 The problem with following the science is far too often the science follows the money that the scientific bureaucratic elite have been purchased by AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson, and Johnson, and they ignore the fundamental base of what science is supposed to be.

00:02:46.000 Science used to be about discovering things, an inquiry into the natural world.

00:02:53.000 Sir Francis Bacon, when he wrote the book that changed all books, it was a very interesting title, The Great Instaration, a very interesting cover of the book.

00:03:05.000 Back when Sir Francis Bacon, who developed the scientific method, I think in the 1620s, boy, I'm really stretching my brain with this.

00:03:13.000 It was interesting because the cover of the book was two Roman columns in the middle of an ocean and a boat going through the Roman columns, if you will, into the distance, into the horizon, basically signifying that because of now the exploration of the natural world, the scientific method, which of course is hypothesize, inquire, test, and then measure, right?

00:03:39.000 Very simple.

00:03:39.000 We all learn the scientific method, is that we will now be able to go past the classical constraints of the ancient world.

00:03:48.000 Now, there is some delight in that.

00:03:49.000 We shouldn't say that modernity has been a total failure.

00:03:53.000 I like air conditioning.

00:03:55.000 I'm a pretty big fan of being able to have a Tylenol when I need one.

00:03:59.000 I think grocery stores are generally really good.

00:04:03.000 I think being able to have heat in our homes.

00:04:07.000 But the cult of scientism, if you will, is this idea that we can perfect man.

00:04:16.000 It's the great instoration.

00:04:18.000 So Sir Francis Bacon was the beginning of the scientific method, kind of modern science.

00:04:18.000 So it's important.

00:04:26.000 And so there you have that idea of the two Roman columns and kind of modernity going into the distance.

00:04:32.000 Now, science used to be about discovering things.

00:04:37.000 Now it's about making things and changing things.

00:04:42.000 Big difference.

00:04:44.000 Science at its best is about discovery.

00:04:48.000 Now it's about making and transforming.

00:04:52.000 Let me repeat that.

00:04:53.000 Science used to be about discovery and analysis.

00:04:58.000 Now it's about intervention and transformation.

00:05:02.000 That is a massive difference.

00:05:05.000 Where did that come from?

00:05:08.000 Well, it came from the progressives.

00:05:12.000 In the 1700s and 1800s, there was this belief that started to pop up where this idea of absolute authority began to be transferred from kings to administrative bureaucratic power.

00:05:28.000 This all ties together the FBI raid of Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Fauci's, let's just say, corrupt nature and the inability to check and balance him.

00:05:40.000 The Prussians, which ended up becoming modern-day Germany, were the leaders of the development in the 17th and 18th century philosophy.

00:05:52.000 In the 19th century, they became the primary theorists of administrative power.

00:06:00.000 And many of them celebrated it as an evasion of the restraints, the shackles of constitutional law and constitutional rights.

00:06:14.000 You see, this focus on the German theory, it metastasized and spread all over the Western world.

00:06:22.000 It became the intellectual source of all bureaucratic and Western administrative law.

00:06:32.000 Thousands upon thousands of Americans studied administrative power in Germany.

00:06:38.000 And what they learned is that administrative power then became standard fair in all American universities.

00:06:46.000 I talk about in my book, College Scam, where the administrative state, the shadow government, the deep state, was created thanks to the German administrative historicist model.

00:06:59.000 Now, at the very same time, American progressives became increasingly discontent with elected legislatures and the power of the people.

00:07:08.000 So they said, these people are annoying.

00:07:11.000 We now need to increasingly embrace, increasingly embrace German theories of administration.

00:07:16.000 Let me put this plainly for you.

00:07:18.000 The more that we embrace German theories of administration, the less voice you have.

00:07:24.000 And therefore, they defend the imposition of administrative law in America is in terms of pragmatic and necessity.

00:07:31.000 What is this in real terms?

00:07:34.000 87,000 new IRS agents.

00:07:37.000 That is the growth of the Leviathan.

00:07:39.000 That is the growth of the administrative state.

00:07:41.000 And so now the CDC comes out and they say, well, those exposed to the virus are no longer required to quarantine.

00:07:48.000 Unvaccinated people now have the same guidance as vaccinated people and students can stay in class after being exposed to the virus.

00:07:54.000 Where is the apology, Anthony Fauci?

00:07:56.000 Where is the acknowledgement of error?

00:07:59.000 You see, the administrative state never has to do that. 0.99

00:08:01.000 Anthony Fauci, a deceitful, arrogant, treacherous liar, lacking in the one thing that statesmen have, humility. 0.99

00:08:14.000 Anthony Fauci is an arrogant bureaucrat, which literally means desk worker. 0.99

00:08:20.000 And one of the greatest examples of the administrative state. 0.57

00:08:26.000 I'll prove it to you.

00:08:27.000 Play cut 89.

00:08:28.000 It's called the Fauci effect, which is sort of like, you know, trust me, I don't get excited about that.

00:08:38.000 I mean, it's nice, but I mean, it's, it's, people go to medical school now.

00:08:45.000 People are interested in science, not because of me, because people, most people don't know me who I am.

00:08:51.000 My friends know me, my wife knows me, but people don't know me.

00:08:54.000 It's what I symbolize.

00:08:56.000 And what I symbolize in an era of the normalization of untruths and lies and all the things you're seeing going on in society from January 6th to everything else that goes on.

00:09:13.000 People, the craving for consistency, for integrity, for truth, and for people caring about people.

00:09:20.000 His idea and definition of science is not the discovery and analysis of the natural world.

00:09:28.000 It's how can I create and change.

00:09:31.000 That is a massive deviation to the scientific method.

00:09:35.000 Why?

00:09:36.000 Because he looks himself as a god and you are his subject.

00:09:43.000 Look, I love Good Ranchers, and I know a lot of you love them too.

00:09:47.000 And do some good this August as everyone goes back to school and do some good by helping feed kids who are facing hunger and food insecurity.

00:11:54.000 That is goodranchers.com slash Kirk.

00:11:59.000 Laura asked, Charlie, I read that in Fargo, North Dakota, they are no longer doing the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:12:07.000 I then sent that to my friend, and he said that is fake news.

00:12:10.000 There's no way that's happening in America and told me to stop sending things that are not true.

00:12:15.000 Please help me, Charlie, make sense of this.

00:12:17.000 Is it really true?

00:12:18.000 They're no longer doing it.

00:12:20.000 Yes, it is.

00:12:22.000 So in Fargo, North Dakota, almost hard to grasp and believe, at a board of educators meeting, the Board of Education voted to remove the Pledge of Allegiance because of the under God phrase.

00:12:38.000 In fact, they said that it no longer reflects their values.

00:12:43.000 Fargo Public Schools voted seven to two to no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:12:50.000 Pledge of Allegiance at the Fargo School Board will no longer be said.

00:12:56.000 The debate goes back to February when a motion to have the pledge recited at meetings brought forward by board member David Paulson passed seven to two.

00:13:06.000 Now, I'll be very honest.

00:13:08.000 The turnout for school board elections in Fargo this last cycle in June was miserably low.

00:13:16.000 Unfortunately, in North Dakota, I know a lot of you listening in North Dakota will be the exception to this, but I'll just be honest, it is not a priority to the vast majority of citizens in North Dakota.

00:13:30.000 I'm looking right now at a picture of the school board meeting where they decided to remove the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:13:38.000 Looks like there's 15 patriots there, and that's about it.

00:13:41.000 There should have been a thousand people there demanding that the Pledge of Allegiance remains.

00:13:47.000 Now, mind you, they do this intentionally.

00:13:49.000 The left does.

00:13:50.000 They're trained to do this.

00:13:52.000 They're trained by Alinskyite tactics, which is to pick a fight that they know we will get angry about, to distract us, use smokescreen, while we fight and that level, they're able to implement bad curriculum and CRT and diversity, equity, inclusion. 0.52

00:14:12.000 But that still means we have to fight.

00:14:16.000 Now, I want to play the piece of tape here.

00:14:17.000 This is from the school board.

00:14:19.000 It's unbelievable.

00:14:20.000 This is a school board member, not in Manhattan, not in Nantucket, not in Sao Saledo, not in Ventura County.

00:14:33.000 This is not in Denver, Colorado.

00:14:36.000 No, no, no, no.

00:14:37.000 This is in Fargo, North Dakota.

00:14:41.000 In Fargo, North Dakota, it has now been voted on 7 to 2 to remove the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:14:50.000 Listen to their rationale.

00:14:52.000 Play cut 105.

00:14:55.000 The board reciting the pledge runs counter to our district's philosophy.

00:15:02.000 Given that the word God in the text of the Pledge of Allegiance is capitalized, and Jim had brought this up in our previous discussion of this, the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian God.

00:15:14.000 And therefore, it does not include any other faiths.

00:15:18.000 It is also an indisputable fact, and it's a fact that I hope we all can agree on, that not all U.S. citizens have liberty and justice, which is stated in the pledge, therefore making the line one nation with liberty and justice for all, an untrue statement.

00:15:35.000 Now, this guy's not a very smart person, obviously.

00:15:38.000 Liberty and justice for all.

00:15:40.000 Of course, every American has liberty and justice.

00:15:43.000 These are ideals.

00:15:44.000 It's your decisions that determine whether or not you remain in the state of liberty or you get to be administered justice.

00:15:52.000 You see, human equality, as the founding fathers wrote it, very important, is not that every human being will get the same sort of stuff or that every human being has the same outcome, but they'll be treated fairly in front of the law.

00:16:04.000 Now, if this school board member is meaning that, I don't know, Donald Trump gets raided and Democrats don't, then we might have a conversation.

00:16:10.000 But what are they really trying to do here?

00:16:12.000 It is a Marxist revolutionary tactic to destroy the symbolism, to destroy the phrasing, to destroy the traditions of a nation so that they may make new ones in their stead.

00:16:28.000 And to this idea that you can't have God mentioned there, well, then the Fargo School District should get rid of the Declaration of Independence, where it says laws of nature and nature's God.

00:16:42.000 Or how about the U.S. Constitution where it says we do ordain a religious term?

00:16:46.000 Get rid of that too.

00:16:48.000 Well, allegedly, supposedly, I should say, evidently is a better word, at the Fargo School District in one of the reddest states in the country, it is popular to remove the Pledge of Allegiance to 7 to 2 vote.

00:17:06.000 And I look at a picture of the school board meeting.

00:17:08.000 I think 12 people showed up to object.

00:17:12.000 Where's the grassroots energy, everybody?

00:17:14.000 I love North Dakota.

00:17:15.000 I love you guys.

00:17:16.000 Why are you allowing your governor to allow the Chinese to buy up farmland? 1.00

00:17:20.000 Why are you allowing Fargo to do the 7-2 thing?

00:17:22.000 I know a lot of you are fighting hard, but there's so much more you could do out in North Dakota.

00:17:27.000 Don't let these maniacs do this.

00:17:31.000 Charlie Kirk here. 0.70

00:18:27.000 This one is from Joe in Massachusetts.

00:18:31.000 Charlie, it's hard to believe the country I'm living in.

00:18:34.000 Can you help me better understand how young people are being targeted by health agencies and psychiatrists for chemical castration drugs?

00:18:47.000 I'm told it's happening in Massachusetts.

00:18:49.000 I'm not sure what to believe.

00:18:51.000 Thanks so much.

00:18:51.000 Love the show.

00:18:52.000 Okay, so I want to play this piece of tape here.

00:18:54.000 It's unbelievable.

00:18:56.000 This is, I want to get the exact term right.

00:18:59.000 I think it's the Boston, it's either Boston or Massachusetts General.

00:19:04.000 Yeah, no, that's not it.

00:19:07.000 It's some major hospital chain in Massachusetts that is running advertisements for children to be able to get gender-affirming sexual transition procedures done.

00:19:23.000 Boston's Children's Hospital.

00:19:25.000 Thank you.

00:19:27.000 It's the Boston Children's Hospital that are running these PSAs, these public service announcements about how wonderful gender-affirming care can be.

00:19:36.000 I mean, these people should be arrested for child abuse, let alone running advertisements.

00:19:44.000 So, this is the Boston Children's Hospital is now proclaiming and bragging that they have become the nation's first pediatric trans surgery center.

00:20:00.000 This is irreversible damage that is being done to a generation of young people that will never be able to undo this.

00:20:08.000 Now, remember what we said about science.

00:20:10.000 This is why it's all tied together.

00:20:13.000 Science is not about discovering or knowing, it's about making and transforming.

00:20:22.000 If science is about making and transforming, doesn't that then all of a sudden make the gene-altering mRNA vaccine make a lot more sense?

00:20:34.000 Doesn't that now make the focus on child chemical castration make a lot of sense?

00:20:39.000 They're not focused on understanding humanity, the beauty, the goodness, or the truth of our existence, our intersection with the natural world, of which that is the proper and moral approach to science.

00:20:54.000 No, instead, they're asking, how can we change what already is?

00:20:59.000 The Western view of science is, how do I better understand what already is?

00:21:05.000 That is such a profound difference between the two that is not articulated by most people in politics.

00:21:11.000 They don't understand it. 0.99

00:21:13.000 So, if you're focused on transformation, not knowing, then of course it makes sense to go chop off a bunch of kids' genitals. 0.98

00:21:23.000 This is what the Boston's Children's Hospital is celebrating. 0.93

00:21:28.000 They are gleefully encouraging surgical and pharmaceutical gender transition for teenagers.

00:21:38.000 Play cut 103.

00:21:40.000 Gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur.

00:21:45.000 Hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus, and the fallopian tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus.

00:21:54.000 Some gender-affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries, but that's technically a separate procedure called a bilateral ooprectomy.

00:22:01.000 And not every gender-affirming hysterectomy includes that.

00:22:04.000 And people who are getting gender-affirming hystrectomies do not have to have their ovaries removed.

00:22:11.000 That is an advertisement running by the Boston Children's Hospital.

00:22:18.000 Children.

00:22:20.000 But again, it's all around a regime and a focus on transforming humanity itself.

00:22:30.000 Transhumanism, plugging people into machines, the advent of singularity, and well, not the advent, but the eventual advent of singularity and artificial intelligence. 0.65

00:22:42.000 It is not about knowing the human being.

00:22:45.000 It's waging an all-out war on the human being.

00:22:50.000 It's a massive difference.

00:22:51.000 The postmillennial.com writes all about this, but it's not just the Boston Children's Hospital.

00:22:56.000 This is happening all across the country.

00:23:00.000 But this is the first major center.

00:23:03.000 And they say they rely on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health of standards of care model.

00:23:10.000 Genital surgeries require several letters of support from patients' health care providers and must have lived as their identified gender for only 12 months.

00:23:20.000 For a phalloplasty, a creation of a pseudo-penis from skin taken elsewhere in the body, by the way, you might not like this.

00:23:27.000 I'm going to be honest.

00:23:28.000 I'm just going to be very blunt.

00:23:31.000 You have to hear this, okay?

00:23:33.000 If you don't like it, then whatever.

00:23:36.000 Or a mediodoplasty, a creation of a pseudopenis from the existing genital tissues, they ask you to be at least 18 years old.

00:23:44.000 Patients only 17 years old can obtain a vagioplasty, co-director of Boston's Children's Center for Gender Surgery.

00:23:52.000 Imagine how sick you must be to intubate a 17-year-old and then go to work on them with this.

00:24:00.000 The damage they're doing.

00:24:03.000 This is war crime territory. 0.87

00:24:05.000 It is really sick what these people are about to get away with.

00:24:10.000 Okay, let's get to a question here.

00:24:13.000 Charlie, I heard Joe Biden say there is no zero inflation, zero new inflation in July.

00:24:18.000 Now I'm no economist, but wasn't inflation still at 8.5%.

00:24:22.000 So doesn't that mean there is still a heck of a lot of inflation?

00:24:24.000 Can you set this Yahoo in the White House straight?

00:24:26.000 By the way, I'm looking forward to coming to the JD Vance event on August 19th.

00:24:30.000 Eric from Youngstown, you guys can go to tpaction.com.

00:24:34.000 That is tpaction.com.

00:24:35.000 Yes.

00:24:36.000 So what he's trying to say is there was no growth in inflation.

00:24:39.000 There's still 8.5% inflation.

00:24:41.000 And it's even more than that in Arizona.

00:24:43.000 Joe Biden lying professionally, play cut 110.

00:24:47.000 Before I begin today, I want to say a word about the news that came out today relative to the economy.

00:24:55.000 Actually, I just want to say a number.

00:24:58.000 Zero.

00:25:00.000 Today, we received news that our economy had 0% inflation in the month of July.

00:25:07.000 It's such a lie. 0.85

00:25:08.000 I mean, this guy's such a disgrace to the country. 0.99

00:25:10.000 You deserve so much on this. 0.96

00:25:11.000 0% inflation.

00:25:12.000 No, what he's saying is that, and again, it depends on how you tabulate it.

00:25:15.000 I don't believe any of their numbers, that inflation hasn't grown.

00:25:17.000 The annual inflation rate is anywhere between 8.5% to 15%, depending on how you tabulate it.

00:25:23.000 Ted Cruz in Cut 11 says the Inflation Reduction Act will come after normal everyday working people.

00:25:32.000 Play Cut 11.

00:25:33.000 What about that promise that taxes would not be impacted for anybody making $400,000 or less?

00:25:39.000 Well, it's a flat-out lie.

00:25:41.000 The Congressional Budget Office analyzed this bill and it concluded a very large portion of it would be borne by people making under $400,000 a year.

00:25:49.000 They are lying and you know what they're counting on?

00:25:51.000 They're counting on the corporate media just carrying their water for them and saying, oh, your taxes are not going up.

00:25:58.000 It's not the truth.

00:25:59.000 They know it's not the truth, but they expect the corporate media not to tell people.

00:26:04.000 So unless they're watching your show or a handful of others, they're not hearing what's actually in this terrible bill.

00:26:11.000 Now, Pramila Jayapal said something very interesting.

00:26:16.000 She came out and she said, inflation is just a theoretical word that economists use.

00:26:22.000 Now, this is easy to laugh off and scoff off, but let's really understand what's going on here.

00:26:26.000 And I made this argument, and boy, the media went nuts when I said this a couple, I think, a couple months ago.

00:26:31.000 And I'm going to say it again.

00:26:33.000 If you believe that children can change their gender, then why wouldn't you also believe that you could create money out of thin air? 0.63

00:26:42.000 If you are not tied to the construct or the reality of natural law, then you're going to make other things up as well.

00:26:51.000 So if you believe that humanity can change, why wouldn't you believe that the laws of economics can also change?

00:26:59.000 The pesky sheckles of reality is what we wish to shed ourselves of.

00:27:05.000 Now, you listen to this by Pramila Jayapal.

00:27:10.000 You must understand this is an idea pathogen, as Gad Saad would say, a woke mind virus that has infected the entire Democrat Party and the administrative state.

00:27:23.000 Instead of knowing and anchoring their existence to things that can be empirically understood and that are true and tying themselves to wisdom, they're at war with the natural world saying, when can we change it?

00:27:39.000 So people ask us all the time, why do we care so much about the trans issue?

00:27:44.000 Well, it is the, first of all, children are getting their parts chopped off.

00:27:48.000 You should care about that.

00:27:49.000 But it's also the death of any sort of agreed upon objective or absolute truth.

00:27:57.000 The moral relativists, the moral subjectivists, they know exactly what they're doing, which is to get people into a postmodern, post-structural viewpoint of which inflation, spending, borders, gender, monogamy, children are just tales that we tell ourselves as if there is not a natural law rooted in the ability to be discovered via reason.

00:28:27.000 Thank you, Thomas Aquinas.

00:28:30.000 That these are just white supremacist, colonialist, Western constructs.

00:28:36.000 And unfortunately, so few pastors and even fewer parents understand the insidious, corrosive nature that these ideas have to literally change everything.

00:28:50.000 So Pramila Jayapal downplays inflation.

00:28:53.000 She said, that's just a construct that inflation that economists use.

00:28:56.000 To her, existence is merely a question of the will.

00:29:00.000 Play cut 111.

00:29:02.000 It is ultimately going to lead to a reduction in overall inflation, but most importantly, to the budget that people have every single day.

00:29:10.000 Inflation is like a theoretical word that economists use, but what families feel every day is the up or down of costs.

00:29:18.000 Oh, that's not probably going to help make anybody feel better.

00:29:22.000 Yeah, it's just a theoretical word.

00:29:24.000 We can liberate, liberate, huge word on the left, right, from the shackles that keep us down, such as the laws of nature and nature's God, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence.

00:29:40.000 You understand what's going on here, just to reemphasize this.

00:29:42.000 Again, this episode has been more philosophical intentionally, so we could take a step back.

00:29:47.000 We are at war, metaphorical, remember, fight means peaceful, against people that are at war with nature.

00:29:58.000 They have embarked on a jihad against the natural order.

00:30:05.000 Our job is to protect and restore the laws of nature and nature as God.

00:30:11.000 Or not restore the laws of nature.

00:30:12.000 Let me say that differently.

00:30:13.000 Restore the respect of laws of nature and nature as God.

00:30:17.000 A civilization that recognizes reality.

00:30:22.000 They are waging a nonstop bombing campaign because they have arrogance and not humility towards the laws of nature.

00:30:31.000 They want to be in charge.

00:30:33.000 Inflation, it's some construct.

00:30:36.000 This is why religion matters so much.

00:30:38.000 Andre from California says, Charlie loved the show.

00:30:42.000 Did you see what Pelosi said about China?

00:30:44.000 It just doesn't make any sense.

00:30:46.000 Please make sense.

00:30:47.000 Please make it make sense.

00:30:49.000 There's some other words in there.

00:30:50.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:30:52.000 Cut 43, Nancy Pelosi talking about China, saying that China is one of the freest societies in the world.

00:31:01.000 It's really amazing.

00:31:04.000 Something like this a couple years ago would have ended a politician's career.

00:31:08.000 Now it's just like, oh, whatever, we don't care.

00:31:10.000 Play cut 43.

00:31:12.000 We still support the one China policy. 0.96

00:31:14.000 We go there to acknowledge the status quo is what our policy is.

00:31:20.000 There was nothing disruptive about that.

00:31:22.000 It was only about saying China is one of the freest societies in the world.

00:31:29.000 Don't take it from me.

00:31:30.000 That's from Freedom House. 1.00

00:31:32.000 I mean, she's such a liar. 0.83

00:31:34.000 You go to Freedom House, which, by the way, is a suspicious website to begin with. 0.90

00:31:37.000 The way that they judge freedom or not is, you know, a little bit whatever, not exactly phenomenal, but it generally is pretty good.

00:31:47.000 So according to FreedomHouse.org, which I think is an NGO, China has a 9 out of 100.

00:31:54.000 Russia is 10 points freer than China, according to FreedomHouse.org.

00:32:00.000 Venezuela is freer.

00:32:02.000 Cuba is freer, according to freedomhouse.org.

00:32:07.000 It's just a pathological lie.

00:32:12.000 And she refuses to retract.

00:32:15.000 China gets 9 out of 100.

00:32:17.000 According to the very website that she cites, they have a negative 2 rating on political rights.

00:32:23.000 Negative 2.

00:32:25.000 As she says that China is one of the freest societies in the world.

00:32:30.000 Freedom House is a nonpartisan organization, and they do studies on international human rights.

00:32:38.000 Freedom House is the oldest American organization devoted to the support and defense of democracy around the world.

00:32:42.000 Sounds very neoliberal.

00:32:43.000 It was formerly established in New York, of course, in 1941 to promote American involvement in World War II and the fight against fascism, whatever.

00:32:49.000 The point is that she cited it.

00:32:50.000 She used it as a reference point.

00:32:53.000 And it was not just wrong, it was fraudulent.

00:32:57.000 Sandra says, Charlie, who do you think is going to run in 2024?

00:33:00.000 I don't think it's going to be Biden.

00:33:02.000 Yes, I will re-emphasize my prediction.

00:33:04.000 I think Hunter Biden will be indicted in the next couple of months.

00:33:07.000 I think that the Department of Justice wants both Trump and Biden out of the way.

00:33:13.000 And I think one of the ways they could get space by doing that is rating Trump to show that they're non-political so that when they go after Hunter Biden, Republicans will be like, oh, well, I guess you use the heavy hand equally.

00:33:24.000 54, Bernie Sanders doesn't just throw Joe Biden under the bus, he shoves him under the bus.

00:33:29.000 Play cut 54.

00:33:30.000 So let me rephrase the question.

00:33:32.000 Do you want to see him run for reelection?

00:33:36.000 Look, right now, my concern is electing more Democrats in this midterm election so we can finally address the needs of working families.

00:33:46.000 That's where my mind is.

00:33:48.000 Yeah, not exactly a direct answer.

00:33:52.000 Not at all.

00:33:53.000 So look, as we summarize this week, everybody, I want to end with one thing.

00:33:58.000 It's a beautiful proverb I heard from James Lindsay at our Turning Point USA Pastors Summit.

00:34:03.000 It's a beautiful thing.

00:34:05.000 And it's this.

00:34:06.000 People ask me all the time, Charlie, what do I do?

00:34:09.000 What do I do?

00:34:10.000 What do I do?

00:34:11.000 What can I do?

00:34:13.000 And the proverb is this: you cannot fix what you do not understand.

00:34:20.000 You got to commit yourself to knowing your stuff, listening to our podcasts, downloading them, getting your friends to do the same, reading the books that we mention here, watching our show, watching other shows, watching Tucker Carlson, taking Hillsdale online courses, charlieforhillsdale.com, getting into the weeds.

00:34:37.000 You cannot fix what you do not understand.

00:34:40.000 It sounds very self-evident, but when you think about it, if you're asking about what you can do, what you can do is learn and commit yourself to it.

00:34:51.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:34:52.000 Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:34:55.000 Thanks so much.

00:34:56.000 Talk to you soon.
