00:00:45.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:46.000 Here we go.
00:00:47.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:49.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:51.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:54.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:58.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:59.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:00.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:07.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:08.000 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.
00:01:17.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:20.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:29.000 Somebody said, Charlie, I really enjoyed your conversation on Genesis.
00:01:32.000 Can you do more of it?
00:01:35.000 How do you believe Genesis applies to our times today?
00:01:38.000 And so I just want to preface this by saying I'm by no means a biblical scholar.
00:01:43.000 I do not speak biblical Hebrew, but I do study the word and I love it.
00:01:49.000 And I'm actually spending a lot of time going deep into the Torah, which means teacher, through a mixture of commentaries, rabbi teachings.
00:01:59.000 Dennis Prager's rational Bible is terrific.
00:02:01.000 And then applying it to today, because what does the Torah or what does the Bible have to teach us today?
00:02:06.000 And the answer is quite a lot.
00:02:08.000 So to answer the actual, the question is one take on the kind of beginning of the Torah of Genesis, which is Genesis 1 through 11.
00:02:19.000 So Genesis 1 through 11 is very unique.
00:02:21.000 Genesis 1 through 11, you could argue, is the ultimate issues portion of Genesis.
00:02:27.000 Not to say that ultimate issues are not part of Genesis 12 through, I think Genesis goes to 50, right?
00:02:32.000 Genesis 50 chapters, not mistaken.
00:02:34.000 Genesis 12 through 50.
00:02:36.000 But it gets very historical, very literal, starting in Genesis 12.
00:02:40.000 And it's just abruptly says, God spoke to Abram, do this, do that, leave your father's home, take Sarai as your wife. 0.84
00:02:48.000 You know, one thing after the other, after the other, it gets very literal, and the genealogy begins.
00:02:53.000 But Genesis 1 through 11, at times, can seem somewhat abstract.
00:02:58.000 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
00:03:00.000 That's very literal.
00:03:00.000 But then it gets to the Garden of Eden and Cain and Abel and the sons of Noah and the Noahic covenant.
00:03:06.000 And then out of nowhere, if you read the Bible, and I encourage you guys to read the Bible in one year, you could do that with my wife's ministry, Biblein365.com.
00:03:16.000 That is Biblein365.com.
00:03:19.000 You read Genesis 9, all kind of flows.
00:03:22.000 God's coming with Noah. 0.99
00:03:23.000 Then you read Genesis 10, which is the table of nations, which is kind of this lineage.
00:03:30.000 And then you read Genesis 11, and it kind of comes out of nowhere.
00:03:35.000 So in Genesis 11, it says, Now the whole world had one language and a common speech as people moved eastward, they found a place in Shannar and settled there.
00:03:44.000 Now, this is not about the Jews or the people, or the sons of Noah.
00:03:48.000 The Jews don't really exist as a people yet. 0.67
00:03:50.000 They have not been given that covenant.
00:03:54.000 Abraham or Abram has not yet existed.
00:03:56.000 So it's kind of this one-off story.
00:03:58.000 And it's a very interesting story.
00:04:00.000 It's the story of the people of Babel.
00:04:02.000 Now, many of you know the story of the Tower of Babel, but that's actually not the correct telling of the story.
00:04:10.000 It's more accurate to say that it's the city of Babel.
00:04:14.000 It says here, come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.
00:04:17.000 They used brick instead of stone.
00:04:19.000 And by the way, I'm using the NIV version, New International Version.
00:04:22.000 If that's not your version, then use the one you're comfortable with.
00:04:24.000 Then they said, quote, come, let us build ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that they can make a name for ourselves.
00:04:31.000 Otherwise, we'll be scattered over all the face of the whole earth.
00:04:34.000 So, really, they were building a centralized community, they were building an urban metropolis.
00:04:40.000 Now, there's a lot of emphasis on the tower aspect, and some of the reading is they were trying to build a tower to challenge God.
00:04:47.000 That is one reading, but that's a little exegetical, to be honest.
00:04:50.000 That's the way I was taught the story, and it doesn't necessarily say that.
00:04:55.000 It does say, Let us make ourselves a name.
00:04:57.000 So, they were trying to do something big and bold and ambitious, but by not honoring God.
00:05:03.000 That's the first lesson.
00:05:05.000 You should do things that are big, bold, and ambitious, but you cannot ignore God.
00:05:09.000 That was the first mistake of the Babel, would end up becoming the Babylonians or the people of Babel. 0.99
00:05:15.000 But the Lord came down to the city and the tower they were building.
00:05:18.000 And the Lord said, If as one people speaking the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
00:05:27.000 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so that they will not understand each other. 0.94
00:05:31.000 Now, Babel literally means confusion, Babel, which EL is God, and Bab is confusion, if you go to the Hebraic root.
00:05:40.000 And so, it basically is God confused you.
00:05:43.000 So, the Lord scattered them from all over the earth, and they stopped building the city.
00:05:47.000 Again, not stop building the tower, but stop building the city.
00:05:53.000 And that's why it's called Babel or Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world and from there scattered them over the face of the earth.
00:06:03.000 You can make a rather robust argument that the Torah and Thomas Jefferson both hated big cities.
00:06:13.000 Thomas Jefferson wrote, I view great cities as a pestentennial to the morals.
00:06:20.000 I'm sorry, I don't use that word every single day.
00:06:22.000 What does that mean?
00:06:23.000 That's an interesting word.
00:06:25.000 That is not, Mr. Blake would know because he went to Dartmouth.
00:06:29.000 Pestilential.
00:06:31.000 Jeez, that's not a word I use every single day.
00:06:33.000 Okay, to the morals.
00:06:34.000 The health and the liberties of men.
00:06:36.000 True, they nourish some of the elegant arts, but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere.
00:06:40.000 And less perfection in the others with more health, virtue, and freedom would be my choice.
00:06:45.000 Jefferson also said, I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries as long as they are chiefly agricultural.
00:06:52.000 And they will, as long as they shall be vacant lands in any part of America, when they get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, they'll become corrupt as in Europe.
00:07:01.000 Thomas Jefferson said, he's saying the same thing that is the lesson of Genesis 11.
00:07:05.000 The mobs of great cities add just so the support of pure government.
00:07:11.000 As soars do the strength of the human body, it is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor.
00:07:17.000 A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats at the hearts of the laws and constitution.
00:07:25.000 Centralized government, centralized power by man bothered God.
00:07:35.000 God made a deliberate attempt to value the decentralized over the centralized, to value the local over the dictatorial.
00:07:51.000 Think of the biggest cities in America: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
00:07:58.000 They are the least religious. 0.98
00:08:00.000 They are the most craven. 1.00
00:08:03.000 They are some of the most miserable. 1.00
00:08:06.000 They are some of the most immoral, some of the most murderous, some of the most dangerous places in America. 1.00
00:08:12.000 Some of the most dirty, some of the most filthy, filthy, some of the most depressed.
00:08:17.000 Now, some people would say, well, Charlie, Phoenix is pretty big too.
00:08:20.000 Ah, you're right.
00:08:22.000 It's changing.
00:08:23.000 But it's not by population.
00:08:25.000 You see, Phoenix used to have height restrictions on buildings.
00:08:30.000 Phoenix always had a horizontal growth strategy, not a vertical growth strategy.
00:08:37.000 Phoenix used to say, go west, go buy land, go develop your community, go own an acre.
00:08:43.000 That's why Maricopa County is one of the largest counties in America.
00:08:49.000 You see, one of the political lessons of Genesis 11 is God does not like massive structures of centralized, clustered geographic power.
00:09:03.000 One of the takeaways is that geography can impact your spiritual life.
00:09:09.000 Now, I'm sure some of you live in New York or Seattle or Portland and are listening to this and you might disagree.
00:09:16.000 But I could say in my own personal life, I live a more fulfilling, a more purposeful, and meaningful life.
00:09:23.000 The more disconnected I am from urban chatter, from density of population, the more connected I am with God's creation, nature, the happier, the more joyful, the most peaceful, the more peaceful I am.
00:09:41.000 And that's one of the things that God is saying here.
00:09:43.000 And if you're trying to create a political community, do not try to make it urban metropolitan.
00:09:54.000 And boy, the founders understood that really well.
00:09:58.000 And we've butchered it.

00:11:14.000 Pamela emails us, Charlie.
00:11:16.000 I started calling local teachers groomers in my local school district.
00:11:21.000 It did not go over well.
00:11:22.000 They asked for examples.
00:11:23.000 We got in a fighting match.
00:11:24.000 Anyway, can you give me some examples of what is grooming and where does it come from?
00:11:29.000 Love your show.
00:11:30.000 I'm trying to get my high schooler involved with Turning Point USA.
00:11:33.000 Okay.
00:11:34.000 So yeah, I'm going to show you an example here of something.
00:11:37.000 And I got to give you a fair warning.
00:11:39.000 This is not a topic that we air lightly, but it is something that happened.
00:11:43.000 I want to get the exact specifics, though.
00:11:45.000 I want to get all the facts 100% correct before I play this tape.
00:11:51.000 So first, what is grooming?
00:11:53.000 So, there are three types of people in the world, and there's more than that, but in this particular category, there are infants, there are protectors of infants, and there are predators.
00:12:04.000 Those are the three types of people.
00:12:05.000 So, you could go into one of those three categories.
00:12:08.000 Now, in the West, because we do have a Christian inheritance in the West, now you might not like that. 0.74
00:12:14.000 You might be an atheist, you might be secular, you might be anti-Christian, but the values, the norms, and the customs that are baked into Western tradition and Western law is thanks to a robust Christian influence.
00:12:31.000 That Christian influence has certain customs that we just kind of believe are standard.
00:12:37.000 For example, the rich having some sort of obligation to give money charitably to the poor.
00:12:44.000 That is not a custom found in every culture.
00:12:46.000 It's not normal human behavior.
00:12:48.000 It is inherited from a Christian tradition.
00:12:50.000 How about this idea, this magical idea of natural rights?
00:12:57.000 We take the natural rights doctrine for granted as if every culture or custom can come towards it.
00:13:02.000 The 11th and 12th century was full of legal scholars that were steeped in Christian tradition that were pouring over the scriptures that came to verse after verse talking about human equality, human egalitarianism, natural rights theory that largely gets attributed to John Locke is actually an inheritance from robust Christian theological teaching.
00:13:29.000 And to be very perfectly honest, largely Catholic.
00:13:33.000 And I'm very pro-Catholic.
00:13:34.000 I'm an evangelical, but I think the war on Catholicism is not helpful or fruitful.
00:13:39.000 You can have disagreements.
00:13:40.000 I certainly do theologically, but there's a lot of anti-Catholic sentiments out there that I'm not a fan of.
00:13:47.000 And so there, you move to the next variation of this.
00:13:51.000 You can go to example example.
00:13:53.000 The one that is the most obvious, though, is how do you treat children?
00:13:58.000 The treatment of children, traditionally, ancient civilizations would do the following to children.
00:14:05.000 And it wouldn't just that they would have one-off examples, it's that they would endorse it, they would tolerate it.
00:14:12.000 So, for example, you would either sacrifice children, you would eliminate children that are not genetically compatible with the long-term success or prosperity of your tribe, or you would sexually prey on children.
00:14:27.000 In ancient Greece and in ancient Rome, but in particularly ancient Greece, it was well known that in the elite of society, rich men would have women for childbirth and boys for pleasure.
00:14:39.000 It was Christian norms and customs that broke this. 1.00
00:14:44.000 Children no longer being sacrificed.
00:14:46.000 Why?
00:14:47.000 Well, a repeated theme by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is you must protect children.
00:14:52.000 It's better to have a millstone hung around your neck than to interfere with a child.
00:15:01.000 That's a big deal.
00:15:02.000 Okay, so there are three types of people: infants, the protectors of infants, and predators.
00:15:07.000 It is the moral right of infant protectors to use force to go up against predators.
00:15:12.000 We now allow predators to become teachers to use influence to go after infants.
00:15:18.000 Okay, so there is this guy by the name of Dylan Caput.
00:15:21.000 This was a webinar on autistic sex education.
00:15:25.000 Not exactly a topic I anticipated to be speaking about on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:15:31.000 Now, he was talking to parents, and this is him.
00:15:34.000 He's definitely in the predator category.
00:15:37.000 Dylan Caput, cut 100. 1.00
00:15:39.000 If you are a parent, again, this is my offer to like, I will happily come talk about masturbation with your autistic child. 1.00
00:15:45.000 I've done it with many autistic children. 0.99
00:15:48.000 It brings me a lot of joy.
00:15:49.000 And it's kind of, if it makes you uncomfortable because you're like, I'm a parent.
00:15:53.000 I am not that child parent, and I'm happy to do it. 0.95
00:15:56.000 Okay, so this is Dylan Caput, who is offering to parents that he finds joy, that's his word, not mine, in teaching minor children who are autistic how to masturbate. 0.93
00:16:08.000 So remember, three types of people: is this guy an infant, an infant protector, or a predator? 0.93
00:16:14.000 I think it's rather obvious.
00:16:16.000 When you disconnect yourself from that which gave you birth, can you continue as a civilization?
00:16:26.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:16:30.000 It's a new year, and you may be trying to make some positive change in your life.
00:16:34.000 New resolutions, habits, and thought processes.
00:16:37.000 But let's be honest, these efforts do not always pan out.
00:16:40.000 Have you ever given up after a few months because you don't see the results you were hoping for?
00:16:44.000 That's where Strong Cell comes in.
00:16:47.000 I love it.
00:16:47.000 In fact, I take it for every show.
00:16:49.000 I'm a big believer in this because it contains NADH.
00:16:54.000 I've kind of become a student of NAD.
00:16:57.000 I'm going to tell you more about that in a second.
00:16:59.000 Look, Strong Cell is a scientific formula that helps boost your body's natural energy and restoration at the cellular level.
00:17:07.000 So look, NAD is a crucial coenzyme that is critical for creating energy in your cells.
00:17:13.000 Now, you might say, Charlie, this sounds too good to be true.
00:17:15.000 NAD, go look it up online.
00:17:17.000 Go do five minutes of research on NAD.
00:17:19.000 It is a miracle coenzyme.
00:17:22.000 Some people call it the anti-aging enzyme.
00:17:24.000 It can help with depression.
00:17:26.000 It can help with anxiety.
00:17:27.000 It can help with drug detox.
00:17:28.000 It can help with mental acuity, with memory.
00:17:31.000 And Strong Cell also puts CoQ10 and wild-caught marine collagen.
00:17:36.000 Again, I take it every day, and the difference I feel is undeniable.
00:17:40.000 By taking just one small bottle of Strong Cell liquid every day, you can experience an energy boost within the first week and even more benefits within the first 15 days.
00:17:49.000 After 30 days, you'll feel like a new person.
00:17:52.000 But just don't take my word for it.

00:19:14.000 If you read the literature, and I have to give repeated and continued shout outs to Dr. James Lindsay.
00:19:20.000 He is a friend, and I don't use that word lightly, by the way.
00:19:25.000 And he is so smart.
00:19:28.000 And obviously, we have different religious beliefs.
00:19:30.000 I'm honestly so over some people in our email box.
00:19:34.000 Charlie, I'm never going to listen to James Lindsay again because he's not a Christian. 1.00
00:19:37.000 First of all, he knows the Bible better than most Christians. 0.94
00:19:40.000 He's open-minded.
00:19:41.000 He's a beautiful soul.
00:19:43.000 He's also wicked smart.
00:19:44.000 It's like saying, I'm never going to get on an airplane unless the pilot is a Christian. 1.00
00:19:50.000 Of course, I mean, he's a brain surgeon of wokeism.
00:19:53.000 He sees the tumor, knows where it is, and knows how to remove it.
00:19:56.000 And he's also just a pleasant person and is really sweet.
00:20:00.000 So I think that whole line of attack is really silly and not fruitful nor helpful.
00:20:05.000 But anyway, James Lindsay has told me as he reads the literature of Hegelianism and of what they believe is necessary.
00:20:12.000 They believe that initiation is necessary for progress.
00:20:19.000 Think about that.
00:20:20.000 Initiation, that's not a word that you use all the time.
00:20:22.000 When you think of initiation, what is the circumstance or the scenario that immediately comes to mind?
00:20:30.000 For me, it's fraternities and sororities.
00:20:31.000 Maybe you have a different immediate reaction.
00:20:35.000 When I think of initiation, I think of hazing.
00:20:39.000 I think of some sort of a process, albeit, that could mold or groom somebody towards a specific outcome.
00:20:51.000 Now, they don't like it when you call them groomers, but that's what they are.
00:20:54.000 And it's example after example after example.
00:20:57.000 This is not some one-off thing, whether it be the Francis Parker School in Chicago that was giving out sex toys, whether it be a sixth grade field trip.
00:21:05.000 This was just yesterday.
00:21:07.000 I want to make sure I get my specifics right, but I saw this yesterday on the wonderful postmillennial.com, a field trip of sixth graders that they were all pole dancing on a field trip yesterday.
00:21:20.000 Our team will get the specifics there.
00:21:22.000 I'm actually flipping through to try to see where it is.
00:21:26.000 Sixth grade, I think it was in Texas of all places.
00:21:27.000 Yeah, it is right here.
00:21:28.000 Detroit.
00:21:29.000 I'm sorry.
00:21:29.000 Detroit sixth graders pole dance during field trip.
00:21:33.000 Sixth graders.
00:21:34.000 Because again, the left believes that initiation of the youth is necessary towards their perverted view of progress.
00:21:45.000 Middle school teacher in Rochester schools allegedly took students to a strip club, sixth graders, where they tried out pole dancing during a field trip.
00:21:54.000 The story is now being publicized by a board of trustee member after the district has reportedly refused to address it.
00:22:01.000 Of course, the district's in favor of it.
00:22:04.000 Here's a very powerful email.
00:22:06.000 And this is why I tell people there's no such thing as white privilege. 0.95
00:22:09.000 It's nonsense.
00:22:10.000 There is Western privilege, though.
00:22:12.000 You are blessed.
00:22:13.000 I don't even like that word privilege.
00:22:14.000 There's Western blessing.
00:22:16.000 The fact you live in the West, you are so unbelievably blessed.
00:22:20.000 It is hard to put into words that the cynic or the ingrate, which means ungrateful, could possibly comprehend or understand.
00:22:28.000 I'll read you just this one email.
00:22:30.000 Charlie, I served in Afghanistan and they had T-boys. 0.98
00:22:33.000 The men would rape these young boys for pleasure. 1.00
00:22:36.000 It wasn't just some of them, they were their sex slaves. 1.00
00:22:38.000 It's part of their culture. 0.99
00:22:39.000 It's disgusting and there's nothing we could do about it.
00:22:42.000 The idea that we find that repulsive means that you are the inheritor of a moral tradition that is worthy of preserving.
00:22:51.000 The Greeks, the Romans, the Afghans, the Egyptians, the Mesopotamians, the Sumerians, the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Incans, some parts of Native Americans would exploit young boys and young children. 0.94
00:23:06.000 The idea that adults will protect kids is a rare idea.
00:23:14.000 Now, that's not to say that we're the only country that does that, of course not.
00:23:18.000 But Europe is an inheritor of that same Christian tradition. 0.92
00:23:22.000 Do you think children are protected in the Middle East?
00:23:25.000 Of course not.
00:23:26.000 I just use an example here of Afghanistan. 0.96
00:23:29.000 How about female genital mutilation? 0.76
00:23:32.000 That's widespread in the Islamic and the Arab world. 0.58
00:23:36.000 You think that children are treated well in China?
00:23:39.000 Of course not.
00:23:40.000 The idea that the adult, that the strong use their power to protect the weak, that is not common sense.
00:23:49.000 And this is one of the great, man, it is so unbelievably short-sighted.
00:23:55.000 And we're going to go about changing it.
00:23:56.000 If there's one thing I could change, it's to get Westerners to realize that what you think is common sense is not so common and it's not sensical to the rest of the world.
00:24:07.000 It, yes, is a mixture of Athens and Jerusalem.
00:24:10.000 It's that cliche that drives me nuts, but it is true. 1.00
00:24:13.000 Started by Harry Jaffa and repeated by many others.
00:24:17.000 But there is something that happened that came from the study of the scriptures that then gets implemented into what many Americans would just say, well, yeah, of course we protect children, obviously, duh.
00:24:28.000 And then you should ask them, where does that come from?
00:24:30.000 Why do you believe that?
00:24:31.000 Does Afghanistan?
00:24:33.000 Do parts of India?
00:24:34.000 Does China?
00:24:35.000 Does Ghana?
00:24:36.000 Does Senegal?
00:24:37.000 Some of those countries might, but most of them I know don't.
00:24:40.000 There are infants, there are protectors of infants, and there are predators.
00:24:44.000 In most nations, in most traditions, in most countries, the predators are allowed to roam free.
00:24:50.000 In fact, the predators are the elites.
00:24:52.000 We have been an aberration, the West, where the strong go against the predators.
00:25:01.000 And this guy, Dylan Caput, is a predator.
00:25:03.000 Full stop. 0.99
00:25:05.000 Dylan Caput giving a webinar to adults about autistic sex education.
00:25:10.000 I'm going to repeat the tape.
00:25:12.000 He also has entire parts of the seminar about, quote, teaching ethical pornography, where to find pornography and ethical porn consumption.
00:25:21.000 He says, I can't even see that. 0.85
00:25:23.000 I can't even say that on air, and nor do I want to, but talking about gay sex and things of that nature. 1.00
00:25:31.000 He says, I love the word masturbation. 0.99
00:25:33.000 It's one of my favorite words. 0.95
00:25:35.000 This guy really loves it, and he enjoys spending time around young children.
00:25:38.000 Let's repeat the tape just for emphasis.
00:25:41.000 Dylan Caput, who, just so you understand, though, Dylan Caput, outside of a Western framework, outside of the lens that you have been raised to look at the world from, that the left calls hierarchical and not hierarchical.
00:25:59.000 They will call it misogynistic and exploitive and colonialistic.
00:26:04.000 Outside of that lens, this right here, if you played this, many people in the Taliban would hear that.
00:26:11.000 They'd say, what's wrong with that? 0.99
00:26:13.000 Like, we rape boys all the time. 1.00
00:26:15.000 Repeat 100. 1.00
00:26:16.000 If you are a parent, again, this is my offer to like, I will happily come talk about masturbation with your autistic child. 1.00
00:26:22.000 I've done it with many autistic children. 0.99
00:26:24.000 It brings me a lot of joy.
00:26:26.000 And it's kind of, if it makes you uncomfortable because you're like, I'm a parent.
00:26:30.000 I am not that child parent and I'm happy to do it.
00:26:33.000 Yeah.
00:26:33.000 And also, I do want to be very clear.
00:26:35.000 And someone said, why are you playing it again in the live chat for emphasis?
00:26:38.000 Because now you'll never forget the point I'm making.
00:26:41.000 The point I'm making is the defense of children is not something that is passed down in the bloodstream.
00:26:47.000 It's not normal.
00:26:48.000 It has to be taught.
00:26:50.000 It's a value.
00:26:53.000 In fact, absent divine revelation, in my opinion, the passing down of that revelation, the state of nature is child sacrifice, child abandonment, child manipulation, or whatever Dylan believes.
00:27:09.000 And I want to be very clear.
00:27:10.000 I have no evidence that Dylan is sexually molesting the children.
00:27:15.000 I didn't mean to connect that with the Taliban and the raping. 0.85
00:27:18.000 I am saying, though, that the Taliban would find nothing wrong with sexually exploiting children, which he absolutely is doing as a predator. 0.87
00:27:25.000 Okay, email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:27:28.000 I want to get to this question here.
00:27:31.000 Charlie, I'm so sick and tired of wokeism.
00:27:33.000 Where does this come from?
00:27:35.000 I try to explain it to my friends and I fail miserably.
00:27:39.000 Anyway, love the show.
00:27:40.000 I'm trying to learn more.
00:27:41.000 And what book do you recommend for me to dive deep into it?
00:27:43.000 Thanks so much.
00:27:44.000 So anything by Dr. James Lindsay, race Marxism is really good. 0.97
00:27:47.000 But allow me to make a rather provocative argument about the need for divine revelation.
00:27:57.000 So there's some people that say that I am strict, they're strictly spiritual and they are not religious.
00:28:02.000 In some ways, I think that's better than being secular.
00:28:05.000 I will acknowledge that.
00:28:07.000 However, the question you should always just ask is, so what did your God that you believe reveal?
00:28:12.000 And if they can't tell you that that God has revealed anything, then largely a waste of time.
00:28:17.000 The Jews have a great answer, by the way. 1.00
00:28:19.000 They say the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob revealed the Ten Commandments.
00:28:25.000 He revealed the Tanakh.
00:28:26.000 He revealed the mitzvahs that many of our customs, our codes of conduct, our language was the basis for.
00:28:35.000 America, the founding fathers quoted Deuteronomy more than any other book, period, secular or religious.
00:28:42.000 That's a pretty big revelation then.
00:28:44.000 But if you say, well, my God hasn't, you know, or my God, the God I believe in hasn't revealed anything, then you haven't really thought very deeply about what you believe and why you believe it.
00:28:53.000 However, so let me build this out though.
00:28:56.000 So wokeism, in some ways, I actually would prefer secularism.
00:29:05.000 I know this sounds very provocative.
00:29:07.000 I prefer secularism over a perverted form of Christianity. 0.97
00:29:14.000 If you take a proper analytical lens on wokeism, it's actually misapplied Christianity.
00:29:23.000 So let's go through a couple givens to use a geometric phrase.
00:29:29.000 There's a God-size hole in our heart.
00:29:31.000 There's existential despair.
00:29:33.000 It's a very miserable generation. 1.00
00:29:35.000 And we are spiritual beings.
00:29:37.000 I believe all those things.
00:29:38.000 And I know almost all of you do as well.
00:29:40.000 Okay, so therefore, if you believe in those things and you believe that we have a God-size hole in our heart, and you believe that there's existential despair, then something is going to have to fill that void.
00:29:53.000 The power of what we call wokeism is not in their ideas.
00:29:59.000 It's not.
00:30:00.000 Because the ideas on themselves are insane.
00:30:03.000 But I had this kind of incredible breakthrough as I was reading their garbage literature because, and I've just been thinking and praying on this.
00:30:11.000 It's like, wow, I had this breakthrough that the reason why wokeism is so powerful is they have taken all Christian elements and repackaged them as immediate and temporal salvation.
00:30:25.000 I'm going to tell you about this.
00:30:26.000 It's brilliant what they did.
00:30:27.000 It was probably demonic and they didn't even think about that they were doing it, but they took the idea of original sin.
00:30:33.000 They took the idea of salvation.
00:30:35.000 They took the idea of penance.
00:30:38.000 They took the idea of egalitarianism and they packaged it under a postmodern, post-structuralist framework that was obviously based with Mercuza Derrida.
00:30:50.000 But they have hijacked the promise of Christianity and some of the premises straight into secular leftism.
00:30:55.000 And I don't think this argument is made very often.
00:30:57.000 The psychological and spiritual appeal of Christianity is universal.
00:31:05.000 And the wokeys realize that. 0.77
00:31:10.000 Why is it that what we call wokeism is so appealing that it's spreading?
00:31:16.000 Well, we have secularized our society and we believe there is a God-sized hole in our heart and that something else fills it.
00:31:23.000 And the kind of repeated version, which is technically true, is that it's communism, socialism, all the isms fill its part.
00:31:30.000 Government fills the role of God.
00:31:32.000 But let's go a level deeper.
00:31:33.000 One of the strokes of brilliance, dare I say, of the designers and the adapters of American modern wokeism is that they have appropriated Christianity and repackaged some of the functioning elements of it for their own woke Marxist desires.
00:31:54.000 So I'll give you some examples.
00:31:56.000 Wokeism operates a lot like religion would have in the Middle Ages.
00:32:01.000 Religious processions, for example, are dead, but wokeists love going to rallies and parades. 0.97
00:32:07.000 Wokeism involves fundamentally metaphysical claims, like no matter what, this is really a woman, even though it's not physically that way, but metaphysically they could be whatever they want.
00:32:16.000 Or how about original sin?
00:32:18.000 Instead of saying original sin, that we are all flawed because we're human beings, they say you are all flawed based on your tribal group.
00:32:24.000 So they just take original sin, which is a very compelling idea, and they apply it based on your melanin content or your sexual tendencies.
00:32:32.000 Christianity is an eschatological religion, which means it's a view of time or the end times.
00:32:38.000 Time has a beginning and end, unlike older religions. 1.00
00:32:41.000 Wokeism is just like this as well, though.
00:32:44.000 We're always one hill away from some sort of heaven on earth, from some sort of reushering of utopia here on the planet.
00:32:51.000 Just have to tear down another statue or destroy another remnant of old America. 0.95
00:32:55.000 Wokeism loves public confessions, just like how the early church handled wrongdoing.
00:33:03.000 And wokeism, though, one of the flaws of wokeism, not one of the flaws, but one of the big points of vulnerability is you can never actually properly atone.
00:33:14.000 That's why they say you have to be an ally.
00:33:16.000 For them, there is no redemption from your original sin.
00:33:20.000 That gives them unlimited and a perpetual power machine.
00:33:26.000 Now, let's be honest, for a lot of Americans, Christianity is compartmentalized, only going on Sunday type of thing, but it's supposed to be guiding your every act.
00:33:35.000 It's supposed to be your telos.
00:33:37.000 It's supposed to be your North Star.
00:33:40.000 And wokeism has definitely become that.
00:33:43.000 Every word that you say can be a sin against the religion of anti-racism.
00:33:53.000 So we have Nietzsche said, and he did not proclaim it, but he lamented in his famous allegory, God is dead.
00:34:04.000 He was not celebrating it, though.
00:34:07.000 And what have we replaced God with?
00:34:09.000 And Nietzsche warned, he said, hey, 20th century, you guys are going to have a mess on your hands because God is dead or he's dying.
00:34:16.000 And what's going to fill the void is not going to be good.
00:34:18.000 And what did we get?
00:34:18.000 Nazism, communism, Pol Pot, Maoism, 150-plus million people murdered, displacing civilization, intentional attempted extermination of God's chosen people.
00:34:29.000 Horrific, unimaginable tragedy because Nietzsche predicted, well, you should not clear that, because of the quote-unquote death of God or the de-emphasis of religion.
00:34:39.000 Churches used to be the head, the center of the village square.
00:34:42.000 Now they become kind of archaeological museums where people go and take pictures to go see what once used to actually have relevancy and meaning.
00:34:52.000 We know a lot of people where their hobbies, their work, their friends, their relationship all now resolve, revolve around the religion of wokeism or the religion of anti-racism.
00:35:04.000 In the 1700s, it would be the church at the center of New Haven, Connecticut.
00:35:09.000 It would be the church at the center of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
00:35:13.000 Now it is the woke temple that is at the center of the city.
00:35:19.000 Why is the woke virus spreading with such intensity? 0.96
00:35:23.000 It's because they've appropriated the tried and true and proven elements, both the physical, the metaphysical, the liturgical elements of Christianity and repackaged it in a heretical anti-racist religion.
00:35:43.000 Our schools used to teach a Christian worldview as a center of thought.
00:35:46.000 Now we teach wokeism from kindergarten on.
00:35:49.000 Met God-size hole that we have in our heart is trying to be filled by a man-made, clumsy, sloppy, diabolical, patched-together worldview.
00:36:03.000 The Christian saints replaced by the woke saints. 0.98
00:36:06.000 Thomas Aquinas replaced by Ibram X. Kendi, Harvey Milk, Nicole Hannah-Jones.
00:36:14.000 The church says, I just want to spread the gospel, but in reality, what they're saying is I'm too weak to call out the heretical religion of our time, the religion of anti-racism.
