00:01:52.000 Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:57.000 Let's get to this one.
00:01:58.000 Charlie, did you see the recent COVID story from the Wall Street Journal?
00:02:02.000 What do I make of that?
00:02:04.000 It is hard to even go back and remember the weight or the severity of the hysteria that COVID brought us.
00:02:14.000 A lot of people played into it.
00:02:17.000 I am very proud to say, and I'm proud to say this: at Turning Point USA, we rejected what could have been millions of dollars in PPP money.
00:02:26.000 Remember the PPP money?
00:02:29.000 Seemed as if it was this free money from the federal government.
00:02:32.000 I remember when we made the decision.
00:02:35.000 Everything was locked down.
00:02:36.000 The federal government passed these multi-trillion dollar spending bills.
00:02:42.000 And I prayed about it.
00:02:44.000 And the Holy Spirit just told me and told our team, it just didn't feel right.
00:02:48.000 We're a group that says big government sucks, and we're going to go take money from big daddy government.
00:02:54.000 Other conservative groups, by the way, took the money. 0.84
00:02:56.000 A lot of other conservative groups took the money.
00:03:00.000 And we just said it didn't feel right.
00:03:02.000 So we said no.
00:03:04.000 We could have received, I think it was $1.6, $1.8 million.
00:03:08.000 We have 300, 400 people on staff.
00:03:10.000 And so it was paycheck protection money.
00:03:15.000 And we decided against it.
00:03:17.000 And as a result, a lot of our donors stepped up.
00:03:20.000 We raised a ton of money from people that were really inspired, that we said no to the federal government money and that we took a stand on principle.
00:03:28.000 I was also very proud of how we handled the lockdowns.
00:03:31.000 We never did masks.
00:03:33.000 Never did any of that stuff.
00:03:35.000 We did events as soon as May or June.
00:03:38.000 We were one of the first major events that Donald Trump came to, actually, Turning Point Action.
00:03:45.000 Is that Dream City Church?
00:03:47.000 We did our whole tour.
00:03:48.000 We fought the lockdowns all across the country.
00:03:52.000 We didn't put up with it at all.
00:03:54.000 And there's a lot of whitewashing of history when it comes to COVID.
00:04:00.000 We need to remember the truth tellers, and we should also remember the people that were conservative, that were far from truth tellers.
00:04:08.000 There were plenty of people that were conservatives that were playing into this nonsense.
00:04:12.000 I remember one thing I said in particular, and I was attacked, I was shadow banned, I was smeared, I was slandered, I was suffocated on social media.
00:04:23.000 When I said, well, COVID is performing basically like the flu, I was obliterated for saying that.
00:04:34.000 Wall Street Journal, quote, it's official.
00:04:36.000 We can pretty much treat COVID like it's the flu now.
00:04:39.000 Here's a guide.
00:04:41.000 So to be clear, after destroying lives, the well-being of our children, the progression of next generation, speech development, created the most suicidal generation, the most alcohol-addicted generation, the most drug-addicted generation in history.
00:04:57.000 They're now giving us permission to treat COVID like it always was, a flu-like virus.
00:05:03.000 Remember how flu just disappeared for quite a while during COVID?
00:05:07.000 We were never allowed to talk about ivermectin hydroxychloroquine, how being fat and obese makes it harder for you to have a positive outcome when it comes to COVID.
00:05:19.000 Vitamin D levels in particular at a high vitamin D level, over 50, very well could have interrupted what is called the cytokosine storm.
00:05:30.000 We weren't allowed to talk about any of that.
00:05:31.000 Talk about how a baby aspirin actually helps if you get COVID.
00:05:35.000 How azithromycin very well might have helped you if you got COVID.
00:05:39.000 We weren't allowed to talk about any of that.
00:05:41.000 In fact, they were always talking about get the shot, get the shot, get the M-R-N-A gene-altering shot. 0.99
00:05:48.000 It's your only choice.
00:05:52.000 And now only 10 to 15% of people are getting their boosters and taking the jab.
00:05:57.000 They're still saying to take your booster every single year.
00:06:02.000 And 10 to 15% of people still are.
00:06:05.000 We could have turned this into a national conversation on health and wellness, on getting in shape, losing weight, eating properly, getting proper sunlight, exercising 30 to 45 minutes a day.
00:06:19.000 But that would have been politically incorrect.
00:06:22.000 It would have been politically incorrect to say that we're a fat country.
00:06:26.000 It would have been politically incorrect to say that, hey, you got to get moving.
00:06:29.000 Change your eating habits.
00:06:30.000 Stop eating ultra-processed foods.
00:06:32.000 Try to eat whole foods.
00:06:35.000 Don't just try to eat another bag of potato chips or pretzels.
00:06:38.000 You don't have to have dessert every single night.
00:06:40.000 Try to go a day without chocolate.
00:06:42.000 Can you go to noon without eating food?
00:06:45.000 Yet over 60 universities still, to this day, require college kids to have a COVID vaccine.
00:06:51.000 They close churches and gyms, but you could buy booze and pot.
00:06:56.000 Imagine if we had a national initiative during the lockdowns for everyone to lose 15 pounds or during COVID.
00:07:04.000 The Telegraph reports: obesity now a greater risk to global health than hunger.
00:07:10.000 Now, I don't make a lot of friends when I say this, but it's true. 1.00
00:07:15.000 Some people struggle with their weight, and I totally sympathize with them.
00:07:20.000 I've been overweight, and I handled that.
00:07:23.000 I don't believe that people struggle with obesity.
00:07:26.000 Those are two different things.
00:07:28.000 You can struggle with being 10, 15, 20, 30 pounds overweight.
00:07:32.000 But if you're 100 or 200 pounds overweight, it is more of a choice than it is genetics.
00:07:41.000 And you could make a choice to eat healthier food.
00:07:45.000 We would be a much happier, better country if we were serious about our BMI, our body composition.
00:07:54.000 And none of us are above it.
00:07:55.000 It's easy to gain weight in this country.
00:07:57.000 It's easy to be overweight.
00:08:00.000 Some people do struggle with it.
00:08:02.000 I get it.
00:08:03.000 But it is a choice at the same time.
00:08:05.000 It is a choice.
00:08:06.000 I get being 20 pounds overweight.
00:08:08.000 I get you might be 40 pounds overweight.
00:08:10.000 That is something that just happens.
00:08:13.000 You have a couple kids, eat a lot of carbohydrates, you don't get a lot of good sleep.
00:08:18.000 Not fun.
00:08:19.000 But I was just recently at a doctor's office of all places.
00:08:26.000 And there were people that were at minimum 150 pounds overweight working at a doctor's office administering blood pressure.
00:08:37.000 Like they're checking somebody's blood pressure.
00:08:40.000 And instead, COVID just became this whole thing, oh, just take the shot.
00:08:42.000 We're going to take care of you.
00:08:43.000 Stay at home, stay afraid.
00:08:45.000 Telegraph, quote, obesity now greater risk to global health than hunger study finds.
00:08:50.000 And going back to the COVID question, will we ever receive apologies for what they did?
00:08:56.000 The lockdowns will go down as one of the greatest mistakes in human history.
00:09:01.000 Several studies now show that masks didn't help and made things worse.
00:09:05.000 Basically, if you did the opposite of what the CDC and Fauci said, you'd be better off.
00:09:10.000 And that's what I did.
00:09:10.000 I did not trust them all along.
00:09:13.000 I just said, I don't, I know what it means to live a healthy life.
00:09:17.000 Go outside.
00:09:18.000 By the way, it was one of the great moments of my life in the sense that, I mean, I hated the lockdowns, but selfishly, I enjoyed like 15 or 20 days at home.
00:09:27.000 I think a lot of people felt the same.
00:09:29.000 And then I got really old and then I started traveling.
00:09:31.000 But go for a bike ride.
00:09:33.000 Go for a walk.
00:09:35.000 Will anybody apologize for what they did?
00:09:37.000 Will Fauci apologize?
00:09:39.000 Of course not.
00:09:41.000 And by the way, just as a, that's a really good point Andrew makes that we used a crisis.
00:09:49.000 We used what other people were saying was a crisis and we used as a choice to improve.
00:09:53.000 I won't say that we didn't let a crisis go to waste, but there is some truth to say that instead of just kind of acting, oh my goodness, the world's falling apart, there's nothing we can do.
00:10:03.000 Do you know that before the lockdowns, and I'll tell this story actually in a second, we were doing one podcast a week.
00:10:14.000 One podcast a week.
00:10:15.000 It's a true story.
00:10:17.000 We were doing a single podcast a week of one hour, one podcast, one episode for the entire week.
00:10:28.000 And Andrew and I, we talked, and I'll tell you the story.
00:10:31.000 It's pretty remarkable.
00:10:32.000 And then just four or five months later, we were doing three a day.
00:10:39.000 Who can you trust?
00:10:40.000 Government leaders repeatedly fail us.
00:10:42.000 Self-appointed experts have led us astray.
00:10:44.000 Distrust in so-called authorities is spreading like a bad cold, and we can't quite shake it.
00:10:49.000 But you're not as powerless as they'd like you to believe.
00:10:52.000 When there's no one to depend on, it's time to rely on yourself.
00:10:54.000 Not sure where to start?
00:10:55.000 Go to mypatriotsupply.com.

00:11:26.000 You got to check it out right now, mypatriotsupply.com.
00:11:32.000 All right, Andrew corrected me.
00:11:33.000 I think we were doing maybe two or three podcasts a week, but still, I mean, it was, it was, it was a priority-ish.
00:11:40.000 It wasn't the most, it wasn't my, my day was not scheduled around it.
00:11:45.000 Why?
00:11:46.000 I was too busy raising money, traveling the country, speaking.
00:11:50.000 You can never pin me down.
00:11:51.000 It was a logistic nightmare, logistical nightmare.
00:11:55.000 Podcast was ranked in the mid-30s or 40s on Apple News, maybe even 50s.
00:12:02.000 And all of a sudden, the lockdowns happen.
00:12:05.000 And the first couple of days, we're just kind of getting our bearings.
00:12:07.000 And remember, I was going on a hike.
00:12:10.000 Tom's thumb.
00:12:12.000 You guys ever been to Tom's Thumb?
00:12:13.000 It's a good hike.
00:12:16.000 And all of a sudden, I said, well, I'm doing podcasting.
00:12:22.000 What if we just kind of did radio?
00:12:25.000 And I called Andrew up.
00:12:27.000 This is a true story.
00:12:29.000 And I said, I know this is a crazy idea, but hear me out.
00:12:34.000 I said, we're doing two or three podcasts a week and we're scaling up because we started to do every day a podcast because of COVID because we had nothing better to do.
00:12:45.000 I said, well, since we're doing a podcast every day, why don't we just turn it into a radio program and then we can stream it?
00:12:52.000 And Salem was just amazing.
00:12:54.000 Praise God for Salem.
00:12:55.000 And they made space where there wasn't space.
00:12:57.000 So literally on May 1st of 2019, we were doing one podcast a week.
00:13:02.000 In January of 2020, we were doing maybe two or three a week and it was all over the place.
00:13:08.000 In April 2020, we were doing five a week.
00:13:11.000 And if you had to say, Charlie, what was the turning point for your social media, for your podcast?
00:13:19.000 It wasn't COVID as much as it was George Floyd and Floyd Apalooza.
00:13:26.000 Ryan, are you able to find that video?
00:13:28.000 Do you know which video I'm talking about, Andrew?
00:13:31.000 It was the video heard around the world.
00:13:33.000 When everyone else was doing black squares, we were not just early.
00:13:38.000 We were forcefully early.
00:13:40.000 I remember I uploaded this video to Instagram myself.
00:13:46.000 I was up till 2:30 in the morning responding to direct messages.
00:13:51.000 We were insanely viral because everyone was falling in line of the George Floyd thing.
00:13:59.000 Not backing down on George Floyd and then becoming very prominent in November as people felt the election was being stolen on them.
00:14:05.000 We just kind of, the show just exploded.
00:14:08.000 And now, praise God, I don't think it's too much to say we're a top five podcast program in the conservative movement now.
00:14:18.000 The numbers certainly reflect that.
00:14:18.000 I think that's fair to say.
00:14:21.000 Top five, top six, certainly top 10.
00:14:25.000 The Floyd thing was a big deal.
00:14:28.000 And I remember when we did that, we were really outspoken.
00:14:33.000 I got so many messages from people.
00:14:34.000 They're like, did you just do that?
00:14:36.000 Did you really just kind of go up to the black square?
00:14:38.000 I'm like, yeah, BLM is from, they represent DEI and CRT.
00:14:42.000 No one knew what that meant, by the way, at the time.
00:14:44.000 CRT and DEI and Woke were not household names.
00:14:47.000 We were ahead of all of it, largely because of our campus work.
00:14:51.000 But the lesson was really this.
00:14:52.000 The lesson was we took what many people viewed as a negative, the lockdowns, and it was an objectively societal negative, and we turned it into a positive.
00:15:05.000 We said, okay, I can't travel.
00:15:06.000 Travel's my life.
00:15:07.000 I can't really raise money.
00:15:09.000 And then I asked myself, well, maybe I can raise money.
00:15:11.000 I'll just raise money on the phone and do Zoom calls.
00:15:14.000 And Zoom became this big thing.
00:15:17.000 And out of a tragedy, our three-hour radio program was born.
00:15:23.000 I can honestly say to you today that if it was not for the lockdowns, I do not know if we would have the radio program or the program where it is today.
00:15:35.000 Now, that is a seed of equivalent benefit.
00:15:37.000 By the way, I would prefer to still have a country rather than our show.
00:15:43.000 The lockdowns were so harmful to the country.
00:15:46.000 So many people unnecessarily suffered.
00:15:48.000 The civilization has not been itself since then.
00:15:51.000 It just hasn't recovered.
00:15:56.000 But out of this, that very dark chapter, we applied action and we use our agency.
00:16:06.000 And I think that is a great lesson for myself to repeat, to internalize for myself, and for all of us.
00:16:11.000 Maybe right now you're going through what could be called its own lockdown.
00:16:16.000 Maybe you're in a situation that seems overwhelmingly negative and it was done to you and something that you otherwise did.
00:16:23.000 I don't know.
00:16:24.000 I used to travel 330 days a year.
00:16:29.000 330 days a year.
00:16:30.000 I have a million miles in every single airline.
00:16:33.000 I've been to all 50 states twice over, except I've been to Hawaii and Alaska only once, but every other state, I've been there at least four times.
00:16:40.000 So I've been to the contiguous 48 states, each of those four times.
00:16:44.000 Four times over, minimum, all 48, and then Hawaii and Alaska.
00:16:48.000 Been over 20 countries.
00:16:49.000 I've traveled the world.
00:16:51.000 To all of a sudden say you have to be locked down and change your pattern.
00:16:54.000 It was hard, but it turned out to be a blessing.
00:16:57.000 And it's a beautiful story.
00:16:59.000 And that's one of the reasons why the show is where it is now.
00:17:02.000 And it's become a major institution, you could say, on the right.
00:17:06.000 Praise God.
00:17:09.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:17:10.000 Did you know that over 5 billion pounds of meat are imported and sold in the U.S. every year?
00:17:14.000 That's why you need Good Ranchers. 0.87
00:17:16.000 They are the number one source of 100% American meat and the one that I trust to feed my own family instead of getting overpriced imported meat at the store.
00:17:22.000 Good Ranchers delivers the meat my family and I eat every day straight to our door.

00:18:10.000 Okay, so we're now going back in the way back machine.
00:18:12.000 We've only gone through one question so far, but it's really interesting.
00:18:15.000 This was right as Floyd of Palooza was beginning.
00:18:18.000 And it's so easy to look back and say, oh, BLM is a scam.
00:18:22.000 No, no, no.
00:18:23.000 You have to remember how unanimous the culture was saying that this is the most important thing ever, raising hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:18:34.000 You had Mike Braun, senator from Indiana, supporting it.
00:18:38.000 You had Nikki Haley supporting it.
00:18:40.000 This is just to kind of go back in a time.
00:18:43.000 This one video changed the trajectory of the Charlie Kirk show and our social media footprint.
00:18:50.000 Our social media was, I think, one-sixths, one-seventh the size of where it is now.
00:18:56.000 We could actually look where our Instagram was at the time.
00:18:58.000 Play Cut 174.
00:19:01.000 So I've been watching our country burn the last couple days.
00:19:06.000 And now I'm flipping through social media and I am seeing people that I grew up with in suburban Chicago post the Black Lives Matter blackout social media posts.
00:19:17.000 And then I go and I see their other commentary and they say, war on police.
00:19:20.000 The police are racist.
00:19:23.000 Completely false, by the way. 0.53
00:19:25.000 No data, no statistics.
00:19:28.000 And you, like me, where I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, have been protected by police our entire life.
00:19:35.000 If you heard a creak in the attic, you would call the police in an instant to try to help you.
00:19:41.000 And people say, well, the police are killing unarmed black men at record rates.
00:19:46.000 This is a lie, even according to the Washington Post, with a very questionable definition of unarmed black man.
00:19:54.000 Eight unarmed black men died by police officers last year.
00:19:59.000 Eight.
00:20:00.000 Do you know how many police officers were killed in the line of duty last year?
00:20:03.000 Well over 50.
00:20:06.000 It might be worth playing the second one, just for memory's sake.
00:20:12.000 Don't you know there's a systemic racism in our country?
00:20:16.000 Stop it.
00:20:17.000 Stop this lie that we're nothing more than the group identity that the media tells us that we are.
00:20:24.000 You're an individual.
00:20:25.000 You can wake up earlier.
00:20:26.000 You can make better choices.
00:20:27.000 You can succeed.
00:20:30.000 Don't subscribe to this leftist nonsense that is captivating and hypnotizing our country.
00:20:37.000 People say, well, the rioters and the looters and the protesters, they have a good cause.
00:20:42.000 There's never a good cause to burn down our country. 0.96
00:20:46.000 There's never a good cause to destroy black businesses. 0.98
00:20:50.000 And guess what? 0.96
00:20:50.000 All you virtue-signaling suburban followers and syncophants that I grew up with, I know you and I see you. 0.96
00:20:58.000 And you're virtue signaling to the world how good of a person that you are.
00:21:02.000 Oh, I'm a good person.
00:21:04.000 Look at me.
00:21:04.000 I'm such a good person because I'm posting Black Lives Matter despite none of the data statistics backing up anything that you're saying.
00:21:16.000 It was, and then it went mildly viral after that.
00:21:20.000 Let's get to some more questions, everybody.
00:21:21.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:21:24.000 That is freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:21:27.000 Charlie, what is going on in Canada?
00:21:29.000 It is really hard to even believe that Canada was once a semblance of a free country.
00:21:34.000 Canada is really, really scary.
00:21:37.000 It really is.
00:21:38.000 Let's play CUT 45, please.
00:21:43.000 But I will say that in all of our democracies, in every democracy around the world, we are seeing a rising movement of either authoritarian populism or skepticism about democracy itself.
00:22:03.000 And we all need to recommit ourselves to standing up, not just for Ukraine, but through standing up for Ukraine, to the very principles that make our countries strong and free.
00:22:16.000 What do they mean by democracy?
00:22:18.000 Every time they say democracy, replace it with the word oligarchy that make our oligarchy strong.
00:22:25.000 And there is a threat against our oligarchy.
00:22:28.000 It's Curtis Yarvin who came up with that.
00:22:30.000 I want to make sure I give him attribution.
00:22:34.000 We are becoming more and more like Canada every single day. 0.64
00:22:40.000 Canada is a story of what happens when you allow yourself to become too moderate, too accepting, too indifferent.
00:22:49.000 Oh, you know, we just must be, it can't get that bad here.
00:22:52.000 I'll tell you, Canada is an unrecognizable country.
00:22:59.000 It is not a reach to say that Canada is more like the Soviet Union than it is like a Western country.
00:23:09.000 Quote, Trudeau Liberal Justice Minister Arif Verrari says that putting Canadians under house arrest on suspicion that they may commit a hate crime in the future will quote help de-radicalize people who are learning things online.
00:23:25.000 They can put you on house arrest potentially if you might be suspected of committing a hate crime.
00:23:34.000 Dr. Peterson, Jordan Peterson, who probably is the most famous Canadian living right now.
00:23:40.000 I think that's fair to say.
00:23:42.000 Pre-crime re-education in Canada.
00:23:44.000 Even CP Ontario didn't go this far, but they will now wake up Canada.
00:23:48.000 You've no idea how much trouble you are in.
00:23:52.000 Jordan Peterson, to his credit, he's been warning about Canada for quite some time.
00:23:57.000 Jordan put up a fight very early regarding forced pronouns as a college professor.
00:24:09.000 Jordan Peterson, famously, seven or eight years ago, went into the campus quad and started debating students about how he's not going to be forced to use students' pronouns.
00:24:24.000 He still might use them, but the idea of forcing students' pronouns, Dr. Jordan Peterson found objectionable.
00:24:32.000 And he said, this country is going to become communist and totalitarian.
00:24:36.000 And I remember comedians and journalists laughing at Jordan Peterson.
00:24:41.000 Oh, Jordan Peterson, are you really here to say that the country is going to be flipped upside down because of forced pronouns?
00:24:53.000 They're also considering a new section of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
00:24:57.000 It says you're liable for anything you've ever posted online for retroactive crime.
00:25:09.000 They are considering a bill in Canada that would allow for life sentences for hate speech online.
00:25:15.000 Life sentences.
00:25:19.000 We would sanction countries for this type of behavior.
00:25:23.000 In fact, President Trump should joke around if he becomes president that he's going to suspend trade with Canada if this continues.
00:25:31.000 It says, quote, any member of the public, including non-citizens, can lodge a complaint against you to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, an activist quasi-judicial tribunal run by non-judges appointed by Trudeau.
00:25:44.000 They can get up to $20,000 per complaint from you.
00:25:47.000 There doesn't have to be a victim at all.
00:25:48.000 Remember, it's a future crime.
00:25:51.000 They only have to show that your Twitter video is, quote, likely to cause one person to have hard feelings about another person.
00:25:58.000 $20,000 that you'd pay for the complaint plus $50,000 to the government.
00:26:03.000 This is per Ezra Levant, who we've had on the show.
00:26:07.000 And it could be done retroactively.
00:26:11.000 Canada is not getting better.
00:26:12.000 I mean, it is so hard to even comprehend.
00:26:15.000 This is becoming East Germany. 0.92
00:26:17.000 Canada is basically an even worse version as a satellite of the Chinese Communist Party. 0.93
00:26:25.000 I want to get to another question here. 0.76
00:26:26.000 By the way, a big fanny has just entered the court. 0.64
00:26:29.000 We're keeping an eye on that.
00:26:30.000 If it breaks while we're on air, we will share that news.
00:26:34.000 Some other breaking news.
00:26:35.000 Charlie, what happened out of Florida?
00:26:37.000 Ron DeSantis, I know, has been doing a lot on the university there.
00:26:40.000 What happened there?
00:26:40.000 Yes, so it was not that well covered, but the former senator from Nebraska, Ben Sasse, resigned his Senate seat.
00:26:49.000 I always liked Ben Sasse, even though he became bitterly anti-Trump throughout his tenure, but very smart guy.
00:26:54.000 He stepped down as U.S. Senator from Nebraska.
00:26:58.000 Governor Ricketts filled that position, and now he is Senator Ricketts.
00:27:03.000 Ben Sasse has been doing a good job, and now breaking.
00:27:06.000 The University of Florida has officially fired all of the DEI staff.
00:27:12.000 Conservatives are finally fighting back.
00:27:14.000 Every red state must follow suit as soon as humanly possible.
00:27:17.000 This is the way.
00:27:18.000 Quote, to comply with the Florida Board of Governors Regulation 9.016 on prohibited expenditures, the University of Florida has closed the Office of Chief Diversity Officer, eliminated DEI positions and administrative appointments, and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors under the direction of U.F. Human Resources University employees whose positions were eliminated receive U.F. standard 12 weeks of pay.
00:27:42.000 They're fired.
00:27:43.000 They're gone.
00:27:44.000 And by the way, this is the best part.
00:27:47.000 There will now be a reallocation of $5 million in funds previously reported at Tallahassee for DEI expenses, including salaries and expenditures, into a faculty recruitment fund to be administered by the Office of the Provost. 0.94
00:28:00.000 These things are money sucks.
00:28:02.000 These things are bad for campus culture. 0.98
00:28:04.000 These things foment and are racist and bigoted at the core.
00:28:07.000 Save $5 million.
00:28:08.000 $5 million a year?
00:28:12.000 Good for Ben Sasse.
00:28:13.000 Ben Sasse is delivering.
00:28:15.000 By the way, Ben Sasse is a former college president before he became a senator from Nebraska.
00:28:20.000 Florida is really becoming one of the only sanctuary states for the Constitution.
00:28:25.000 One of the only safe places.
00:28:31.000 The world is in flames, and biotinomics is a complete and total disaster, but it can't and won't ruin my day.
00:28:38.000 Because I start my day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee.
00:28:38.000 Why?
00:28:42.000 It's 100% America and 0% Grift. 0.93

00:29:12.000 Okay, some very sad news.
00:29:15.000 Someone who was involved at Turning Point USA, someone who was also involved in Alex Clark's deal, Madison Becknell, one of our amazing students, passed away.
00:29:27.000 Very sad.
00:29:29.000 Senior at University of Kentucky died in a head-on collision.
00:29:35.000 Driving, collided with a tractor trailer on LaGrange Road in Shelby County.
00:29:41.000 Madison Becknell, a graduate of Oldham County High School and senior at the University of Kentucky, was pronounced dead at the scene.
00:29:50.000 It's just awful.
00:29:52.000 Our sympathies and prayers just to every day is a blessing.
00:29:55.000 It is just terrible.
00:29:58.000 Absolutely awful.
00:30:00.000 Okay, let's get to some more questions here.
00:30:02.000 Email us freedom at charliekirk.com and subscribe to our podcast.
00:30:08.000 Here's one.
00:30:08.000 Charlie, I heard about the white rural rage.
00:30:10.000 It's hard to believe that they are that explicit about who they consider to be the enemy in this country.
00:30:18.000 Please dive deeper into this.
00:30:20.000 Yeah, I want to play the piece of tape here.
00:30:21.000 I didn't get a chance to emphasize the kulaks.
00:30:24.000 So let's play 120 and then I want to tell you about the kulaks. 0.97
00:30:27.000 120, please.
00:30:29.000 White rural rage, the threat to American democracy. 0.99
00:30:34.000 And Tom, we'll start with you.
00:30:36.000 Why are white rural voters a threat to democracy at this point?
00:30:40.000 I mean, we lay out the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country. 1.00
00:30:44.000 First of all, and we show 30 polls and national studies to demonstrate this.
00:30:48.000 So we provide the receipts in chapter six. 0.87
00:30:50.000 They're the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, and anti-gay geodemographic group in the country. 0.99
00:30:56.000 Second, they're the most conspiracist group. 0.98
00:30:58.000 QAnon support and subscribers, election denialism, COVID denialism, and scientific skepticism, Obama burtherism.
00:31:06.000 Third, anti-democratic sentiments.
00:31:08.000 They don't believe in an independent press, free speech.
00:31:10.000 They're most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without any checks from Congress or the courts or their bureaucracy.
00:31:16.000 They're also the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalists.
00:31:20.000 And fourth, they are most likely to excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public dissent.
00:31:29.000 So this clip has gone viral.
00:31:31.000 They wrote this book, White Rural Rage.
00:31:35.000 Look, on this program, we've told you about the Kulaks before. 1.00
00:31:38.000 In Soviet Russia, Kulak was a label the Soviets gave to their designated class enemies.
00:31:43.000 If you were a small business owner or a successful peasant, or really any kind of ordinary person who criticized or opposed the Soviet regime, they would then label you as a kulak. 0.89
00:31:52.000 And that was enough to justify taking your stuff, sending you to Siberia, death camps, or shopping you or shooting you and your entire family. 0.98
00:32:01.000 In America, the regime is creating a new kulak. 1.00
00:32:04.000 The new kulak are ordinary middle Americans. 1.00
00:32:07.000 Real white people are the acceptable target of American life. 0.99
00:32:14.000 They're the ones it's okay to blame for literally everything bad in America.
00:32:18.000 What causes systemic racism? 0.94
00:32:20.000 Rural whites. 0.88
00:32:21.000 Why is Joe Biden's approval rating terrible?
00:32:23.000 Rural whites. 0.88
00:32:24.000 They're only 20% of the American population.
00:32:27.000 Why is New York and San Francisco falling apart?
00:32:30.000 Somehow, real whites, even though they never visited there. 0.98
00:32:33.000 The left cannot comprehend that their policies fail because they're bad.
00:32:38.000 They cannot comprehend that they lose elections because people can't stand them.
00:32:42.000 Instead, just like the Soviets 100 years ago, they assume that they are wreckers. 0.93
00:32:50.000 Their policies fail because they are evil people lurking in America who just sabotage them for no reason.
00:32:57.000 This is why the left literally needs endless, constantly increasing migration from the third world. 1.00
00:33:03.000 Because among people born in America, the share who are alienated by how much the left obviously hates them is constantly growing.
00:33:13.000 The great replacement strategy, which is well underway every single day on our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different. 0.93
00:33:23.000 Show 159, please.
00:33:27.000 80% of the map is red, but that is only 20% of the American population.
00:33:32.000 They hate that they don't live in big cities.
00:33:34.000 They hate those of you that live in rural and small America. 0.60
00:33:37.000 They hate those of you that own land and have guns and believe in a better country.
00:33:44.000 And they have a plan to try and get rid of you.
00:33:47.000 The same way that Joseph Stalin went after the Kulaks, they want to go after you. 0.99
00:33:53.000 Those of you that live in Mankato, Minnesota, you live in Marshallton, Iowa, Evansville, Indiana, Peoria, Illinois.
00:34:04.000 You're the problem.
00:34:05.000 Didn't you know it?
00:34:07.000 You believe in God, country, family, faith, and freedom.
00:34:11.000 And they won't stop until you and your children and your children's children are eliminated.
