00:01:12.000 It's when I take your questions.

00:01:13.000 We do this every Monday.

00:01:26.000 And you guys win a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine, New York Times bestseller.

00:01:31.000 So let's get right into it.

00:01:32.000 Trey from Columbus, Ohio says, do you think George Washington would be proud of President Trump's leadership and his accomplishments?

00:01:40.000 God bless you, Charlie.

00:01:41.000 I'm a big fan of George Washington.

00:01:41.000 Love the podcast.

00:01:43.000 It's incredible how little we talk about George Washington.

00:01:46.000 They are tearing down statues of George Washington in Portland, Oregon with no plans of putting them back up.

00:01:52.000 George Washington actually had a lot of similarities to Donald Trump.

00:01:55.000 George Washington, Donald Trump both had some forms of independent wealth.

00:02:00.000 But what I find to be interesting about the George Washington and Donald Trump and that comparison is that George Washington was the first American patriot.

00:02:09.000 He put everything on the line to create the United States of America.

00:02:13.000 He was the hero of the Revolutionary War.

00:02:16.000 And, you know, Donald Trump, in his own different way and separate way, put a lot on the line to become president of the United States.

00:02:22.000 So the question is, do you think George Washington would be proud of President Trump's leadership?

00:02:26.000 I think absolutely.

00:02:27.000 I think George Washington would be so proud of a president who's trying to restore the idea of America that was lost post-George Washington and especially lost in the last 20 or 30 years in America, especially lost because of the ruling class, the cartel of Washington, D.C., that has done so much damage to the middle class of America.

00:02:45.000 Now, understand, George Washington served two terms.

00:02:48.000 He set that precedent for two terms.

00:02:51.000 In a lot of ways, George Washington didn't want to become president.

00:02:53.000 In a lot of ways, he was almost encouraged to become president.

00:02:56.000 He was forced into becoming president.

00:02:58.000 Forced is probably too aggressive of a term, but he was nudged into it.

00:03:02.000 And without George Washington to become president, it's very easy to say or it's very logical to be able to conclude that we might have had five or six or 10 different countries in America.

00:03:14.000 Actually unifying all these states together was not at all a guarantee.

00:03:18.000 And understand, he begrudgingly accepted the mantle to become president after basically all the other signers of the Declaration and the founders and the architects of the Constitution were like, look, we need a leader.

00:03:30.000 We need a creation of the president.

00:03:31.000 And we need a person to fill this office of the president.

00:03:35.000 Now, understand the office of the president, constitutionally speaking, is a uniquely American idea.

00:03:42.000 This idea of an executive that has certain powers, but not ultimate or authoritarian powers that has a check and balance against him.

00:03:50.000 It was so ahead of the times.

00:03:51.000 It was something that the United States and our founders saw the need for in a lot of ways that you need some power.

00:03:58.000 It just can't be a figurehead.

00:04:00.000 It can't just be like a parliamentary system where it's just a individual who reports directly to Congress, but it still needs to have some form of check and balance against it.

00:04:09.000 Now, understand the idea of a president actually comes from the root word of preside, preside over the country.

00:04:16.000 And we really didn't have an idea of what a president was.

00:04:19.000 I mean, now our idea of a president, someone who's elected by the people, who is overseen by the Congress in the ways of being able to have impeachment and pass laws, so they must work cooperatively in checks and balances.

00:04:31.000 There was no government precedent for that.

00:04:34.000 It wasn't as if there was a blueprint that they were basing this off of.

00:04:37.000 Now, they were modeling this.

00:04:39.000 The U.S. Senate was based off the Roman Senate.

00:04:42.000 A lot of the ideas of natural rights were derived from John Locke originally, but there wasn't a government that was a carbon copy when the United States formed our government in the late 1780s when we formed the United States of America.

00:04:55.000 So I love studying the history.

00:04:56.000 George Washington, our first president, they're trying to take down statues of George Washington right now.

00:05:02.000 And it is such a shame because without George Washington, we would not have the United States of America.

00:05:06.000 And they're taking down George Washington intentionally because they have bitter resentment and hatred for our country and everything we've been able to accomplish here and over the last 200 years of our history.

00:05:17.000 And we've talked about this, that the left is filled with bitter resentment for the United States of America.

00:05:26.000 What's the number one sign of a bad home security system?

00:05:29.000 A home security system that's so complicated, you never use it.

00:05:33.000 This is exactly the type of security system that SimplySafe has spent a decade fighting against.

00:05:37.000 They believe that simple is safer, and it's exactly why SimplySafe is the home security for right now.

00:06:40.000 Make sure they know that our show sent you.

00:06:45.000 Next question.

00:06:46.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:06:47.000 I'm just wondering individually what I can do to stop the tearing of statues and destruction to my country.

00:06:52.000 I'm a 27-year-old female, white, which for some reason matters now, and waiting to be called back from furlough.

00:06:58.000 I'm sitting at home, streaming church, praying for this country, but I want to do more.

00:07:03.000 I'm not going to stand up to a mob physically and put my life in danger.

00:07:06.000 So I just don't know what to do to help protect this country while our local political leaders are failing, my fellow Americans, living through this terror.

00:07:13.000 Let me know if you have any advice.

00:07:14.000 Time is on my side, and I want to do something about this.

00:07:17.000 Thank you for everything you are doing and your intelligent point of view on everything going on.

00:07:21.000 God bless Mallory.

00:07:22.000 I get this question a lot.

00:07:23.000 Charlie, what can I do?

00:07:24.000 Well, first of all, you can get engaged and involve a Turning Point USA or Turning Point Action and support Charlie Kirk show.

00:07:30.000 Thank you if you are doing those things.

00:07:32.000 I understand.

00:07:32.000 I actually think that there is a, there's a, there's many reasons why they're pushing the lockdowns.

00:07:37.000 One of them is they actually think they want to keep patriots at home so they don't get engaged and get involved in some of these discussions and some of these protests right now.

00:07:48.000 I think they want to strike fear into people.

00:07:50.000 And look, we just hosted the President United States in Phoenix, Arizona, 3,000 plus people.

00:07:55.000 And I could tell you that there was a very deliberate media campaign to try to destroy our event and try to sway people from coming out to hear from the president of the United States, despite it being mostly all young people.

00:08:09.000 There was a deliberate campaign to try to say, hey, why are you here?

00:08:14.000 What are you doing here?

00:08:16.000 Why are you trying to defy the stay-at-home orders?

00:08:19.000 And the mayor of Phoenix even said, well, I don't know if this is the best idea and the best time to do this.

00:08:25.000 And so, look, Mallory, I hear you.

00:08:27.000 And the best answer I have right now is that there are courageous stands that need to happen.

00:08:33.000 Volunteer to go help someone that is running for local office.

00:08:36.000 Pressure your local political leader.

00:08:38.000 For those of you that are furloughed right now, I know you have more time than you even know what to do with.

00:08:45.000 Now, understand that the rioters and the looters right now, they're not even following the stay-at-home orders and they're getting their way.

00:08:52.000 And there was this most unbelievable clip that I heard on Martha McCallum's show.

00:08:56.000 Martha McCallum is terrific, by the way.

00:08:57.000 I love going on her show.

00:08:58.000 She's extraordinary.

00:08:59.000 Very fair.

00:09:00.000 One of the last few journalists out there, and she's just terrific. 0.95

00:09:04.000 And there was this Black Lives Matter terrorist on there. 0.93

00:09:06.000 And I don't use that word lightly. 0.72

00:09:08.000 This guy's a terrorist because he's basically said total misinterpretation of 1960s history, first of all.

00:09:14.000 Number two, he said, if we don't get our way, we are going to riot.

00:09:17.000 And I had to listen to this clip two, three, four times to make sure I heard it correctly.

00:09:22.000 And he said, now there are police officers being killed in America.

00:09:26.000 I don't condemn it and I don't condone it.

00:09:29.000 He's basically indifferent to the murder of police officers in America.

00:09:33.000 Playta.

00:09:34.000 But when people get aggressive and they escalate their protests, the country makes it happen.

00:09:40.000 Cops get fired.

00:09:42.000 Now you have police officers.

00:09:43.000 You have Republican politicians talking about police reform.

00:09:47.000 I don't condone nor do I condemn rioting, but I'm just telling you what I observe.

00:09:52.000 This is what we're up against.

00:09:54.000 This is the type of radicalism and anti-American sentiment.

00:10:00.000 And this is domestic terror.

00:10:01.000 Why the FBI was not arresting this guy immediately after he says this?

00:10:05.000 We're just going to burn things down.

00:10:07.000 That is a threat of terrorism.

00:10:09.000 It's no different than saying, I'm going to allegedly bomb this building on this day for this purpose.

00:10:16.000 You want the destruction of police?

00:10:16.000 What do you want?

00:10:18.000 I don't care what your cause is, by the way.

00:10:21.000 Under the laws against terrorism in America, it doesn't matter if your cause is political or religious.

00:10:28.000 If you are threatening the destruction of private property, that is terrorism.

00:10:34.000 The textbook definition of terrorism is a crime that will impact mass community, innocent bystanders, with the threat of trying to invoke a bigger and greater political or religious or societal aim.

00:10:51.000 We have laws against terrorism here. 0.81

00:10:54.000 And yet somehow this Black Lives Matter individual goes on Fox News, says this, and good from Arthur McCallum for having him on the show and for actually getting this out of him. 0.68

00:11:05.000 Do you think conservatives are doing this? 0.59

00:11:07.000 And this segues to another thing I want to talk about.

00:11:09.000 People say, well, there's good conservatives and there's good liberals and bad conservatives and bad liberals.

00:11:15.000 Enough of this.

00:11:16.000 Show me one conservative that has said, we're going to burn down the country if we don't get our way.

00:11:22.000 We arrest those people.

00:11:24.000 If a Trump supporter went on television with a MAGA hat and said, you know, if Donald Trump's not elected president of the United States, we're burning down entire cities. 0.95

00:11:34.000 If Donald Trump is not elected president of the United States, we are going to burn down Philadelphia.

00:11:39.000 We're going to burn down Detroit.

00:11:41.000 Conservatives advocate for order.

00:11:44.000 Leftists or progressives or just Democrats, they want chaos.

00:11:48.000 They want the destruction.

00:11:49.000 Seeing things on fire, engulfed in flames, it gives them some sort of satisfaction.

00:11:53.000 And they do it in the name of reform. 0.99

00:11:55.000 And this absolute fool that went on Martha McCallum's show was like, well, black people didn't get what they wanted until they started to burn stuff down. 0.99

00:12:02.000 Well, hold on a second. 0.99

00:12:04.000 Do you agree or disagree that Martin Luther King was the main reason the Civil Rights Act was passed?

00:12:09.000 Most people would say, I agree.

00:12:11.000 Have you read the letters from a Birmingham jail?

00:12:13.000 Or do you, are you just a Malcolm X syncophant?

00:12:16.000 And Malcolm X and the Black Panther movement, which was very violent and was involved in retaliatory justice, they were not the reason why change happened.

00:12:27.000 The reason why change happened is civil disobedience.

00:12:30.000 Martin Luther King willingly allowing himself to get arrested for a greater purpose.

00:12:34.000 And by the way, the inspiration for this, do you know who originally wrote civil disobedience?

00:12:39.000 Henry David Thoreau.

00:12:42.000 Henry David Thoreau, an 1800s author, was very close with Ralph Waldo Emerson, a transcendentalist.

00:12:49.000 And so Thoreau wrote civil disobedience.

00:12:51.000 He also wrote plenty of books about being in nature.

00:12:54.000 And if you're not familiar with this, let's just say, strain of philosophy, it's very fascinating.

00:12:59.000 And I think it's really good for young people to read, especially in a very technological age.

00:13:04.000 Thoreau talked about getting back to nature, understanding the simplicity and the beauty.

00:13:08.000 He also wrote a book called Self-Reliance.

00:13:10.000 A lot of libertarians and a lot of freedom lovers find a lot of inspiration from Henry David Thoreau's writings on self-reliance.

00:13:20.000 But civil disobedience inspired Gandhi, it inspired Martin Luther King.

00:13:24.000 One of my favorite quotes ever by Henry David Thoreau is: The massive men lead lives of quiet desperation.

00:13:31.000 I always think of that quote whenever I see people sitting in traffic.

00:13:34.000 I say, man, most people are just so miserable and not flourishing to their highest extent.

00:13:40.000 And they're kind of trapped by their own devices.

00:13:43.000 And so, anyway, you could read Wallen in the Woods and all sorts of different writings by both Emerson and Thoreau, who I think had such a huge impact on the American spirit.

00:13:52.000 However, going back to the essay, Resistance to Civil Government by Henry David Thoreau was very, very influential in Martin Luther King's own writings, Letters from a Birmingham Jail. 0.88

00:14:03.000 And apparently, this fool that was on Fox News is in total and complete disagreement with that. 0.97

00:14:08.000 Instead, he believes that you should riot when you don't get your way, that you should burn things down when you don't get your way, that you should act like a petulant terrorist child, that if you don't get your way, you should burn down the entire world. 0.99

00:14:18.000 That's not Western society.

00:14:20.000 That is not moral.

00:14:21.000 That is not civil.

00:14:22.000 Why this guy is not in handcuffs right now is beyond me.

00:14:25.000 If that person said exactly what he said with a MAGA hat on, he would have been arrested on five different counts for trying to organize domestic terror in our country. 0.56

00:14:33.000 The reason is that the Black Lives Matter movement, which is an insurrection movement in our own country, I want to say this very clearly.

00:14:39.000 I want to say this clearly.

00:14:40.000 The Black Lives Matter movement has the best branding ever because the name of their movement is something that is true.

00:14:50.000 So Black Lives Do Matter.

00:14:52.000 All lives do matter.

00:14:53.000 And I say all lives matter.

00:14:54.000 I don't care about the recourse to that.

00:14:55.000 And you guys should say that loudly and you guys should say that clearly.

00:15:00.000 But the Black Lives Matter movement, an organization, is an insurrection movement to try to destroy the nuclear family, legalize sex work, abolish prisons, abolish police, and start a postmodern Marxist revolution in our country.

00:15:15.000 And they're doing quite well.

00:15:16.000 According to the latest polling, they're more popular than both political parties.

00:15:19.000 They have a 62% approval rating in our country, mostly funded and fueled by Christians and white suburbanites that think they're doing something righteous. 0.61

00:15:29.000 I think they're doing something good, which of course they're not. 0.86

00:15:33.000 And it kind of all comes full circle, and it has such damage to our country.

00:15:38.000 And so what can you do, Mallory?

00:15:39.000 Well, I'll tell you what not to do.

00:15:40.000 Don't go burn stuff down.

00:15:41.000 You're not going to do that because you're a conservative.

00:15:43.000 Now, remember, conservatives are about, now remember, conservatives are about order, flourishing, and creation.

00:15:51.000 Leftists are about disorder, chaos, and destruction.

00:15:55.000 This is why they get so much fulfillment in burning down the world around them. 0.82

00:16:00.000 This is why they think there's something good about 170 black-owned businesses in downtown Minneapolis that are burned down to the ground. 0.96

00:16:08.000 And they see the world as such an unequal and awful place that if we burn it down, there's no way it could be any worse than what we have now. 0.79

00:16:16.000 The lack of history, the lack of thankfulness and gratitude for what came before you to believe something like that. 0.99

00:16:23.000 Only someone who goes to a university could believe something as foolish as that. 0.69

00:17:22.000 Speaking of the university, I got an interesting question here.

00:17:24.000 This one's from Lance in Wyoming.

00:17:26.000 I love Wyoming.

00:17:27.000 Lance says this: Hey, Charlie, my college professor is recommending very liberal and Marxist teachings.

00:17:33.000 Can you tell me more about John Rawls, especially?

00:17:37.000 This seems to be highly instrumental in my college professor's thinking.

00:17:41.000 Thanks so much.

00:17:42.000 I'm glad you mentioned it.

00:17:43.000 You know, this is someone that we don't talk about enough.

00:17:45.000 You know, we talk about Solinsky a lot in conservative circles.

00:17:48.000 We talk about Karl Marx.

00:17:49.000 We talk a little bit about Hegel.

00:17:51.000 We talk about Rousseau.

00:17:52.000 I think that here on the Charlie Kirk show, I actually hear Rousseau's name mentioned more on cable television in the last couple of weeks.

00:17:59.000 And I don't want to take full credit for that, but I think we had a contribution to that.

00:18:02.000 All of a sudden, I'm turning on cable television.

00:18:04.000 I hear people say, this is a Rousseauian ideology.

00:18:07.000 I'm like, yes. 0.90

00:18:09.000 Whether I take credit for that or not, I think that's actually a really positive contribution to the American discourse to know the garbage thinkers that are actually contributing to the downfall of America. 0.98

00:18:18.000 So speaking of really smart fools, educated derelicts, John Rawls is at the top of the list. 0.97

00:18:25.000 And if you don't know who John Rawls is, well, buckle up. 0.98

00:18:29.000 We're going to have a lot of fun talking about it.

00:18:30.000 So John Rawls taught at Princeton.

00:18:32.000 He was given so many different awards.

00:18:34.000 And Rawls was very instrumental, in fact, in let's just say modern American leftism and liberal thinking.

00:18:43.000 And in fact, President Bill Clinton called him, quote, the greatest political philosopher, and he met with him on a regular basis.

00:18:49.000 And President Bill Clinton also continued by saying, quote, he helped a whole generation of learned Americans revive their faith in democracy itself. 0.99

00:18:57.000 So a full endorsement from Bill Clinton is enough to make me think this guy is an absolute fool. 0.96

00:19:02.000 And so John Rawls was on a quest to try to define what is fair and what is unfair. 0.97

00:19:08.000 He had a very popular and deceiving social experiment that we're going to do right here on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:19:14.000 And I'm going to give you the ammunition of how to debunk it.

00:19:16.000 Because if you're listening to this right now and you're entering college, I'm praying for you, by the way, and please keep listening to this podcast every single day so that you have the intellectual ammunition, the courage, and the conviction to stand up against your leftist peers and your teachers.

00:19:29.000 But if you're going to college, you are going to learn about John Rawls and you are going to do this social experiment.

00:19:34.000 I'm going to tell you how to defeat it.

00:19:35.000 I'm going to tell you why Rawls was wrong.

00:19:38.000 Here's some of the basic ideas that Rawls was advocating for.

00:19:42.000 He was, of course, he loved Marx and he loved Hegel and he loved Rousseau, but he tried to bring liberalism or leftism, if you will, to a higher level on the philosophical plane.

00:19:53.000 He tried to get way too cute, in my opinion, with this stuff.

00:19:56.000 And he thought he was absolutely brilliant.

00:19:59.000 And so he did this social justice thought experiment.

00:20:02.000 It was called Original Position, but it was also called the Veil of Ignorance.

00:20:06.000 We're going to do that in one second.

00:20:07.000 He hated the American dream, though.

00:20:09.000 He rejected the idea of rags to riches.

00:20:12.000 He was a polemicist in a lot of different ways, which means he was very critical in the attack of America.

00:20:19.000 In fact, he did not, let's just say, pull any punches when he was criticizing the United States of America.

00:20:25.000 So the idea he's the most popular for in the thought experiment, again, is called the veil of ignorance.

00:20:30.000 And so he starts, and he doesn't start incorrectly, but the conclusion is absolute balderdash.

00:20:36.000 He says, well, what if you were not you?

00:20:36.000 It's nonsense.

00:20:39.000 What if you were outside of the orbit of the earth?

00:20:42.000 This is a thought exercise.

00:20:44.000 And you did not know what country you're going to enter into.

00:20:47.000 You did not know what socioeconomic class you're going to go into.

00:20:51.000 What kind of country would you want to go into?

00:20:56.000 That type of country you would want to enter into is the type of country we would want to create.

00:21:02.000 And so he conjectured that you would not want to play the lottery with entering America.

00:21:08.000 His whole thesis was that no one would want to enter America if they didn't know where they were going to end up.

00:21:13.000 If it wasn't a guarantee that you were not going to be in a middle class or upper middle class home and possibly on the lower income distribution, America is so unfair, so unequal that no one would actually willingly participate with this social experiment, the veil of ignorance.

00:21:27.000 So therefore, he goes to the next kind of parcel of thinking, if you will, and he says, well, now we know what we must change, which I don't agree with that at all.

00:21:35.000 He says that the veil of ignorance will make us desire a more fair society.

00:21:41.000 So basically he says, how would I feel behind the veil of ignorance?

00:21:45.000 And so in one of his writings, he says Denmark and Sweden is the best society because under that veil of ignorance, it's the most fair.

00:21:54.000 It has the most social services.

00:21:56.000 Therefore, that lottery would make us exist in that very egalitarian society.

00:22:05.000 Here's why I reject that.

00:22:07.000 If I'm in the veil of ignorance and I'm saying, where am I going to end up?

00:22:10.000 Where am I up?

00:22:11.000 I'm not trying to find the most fair society.

00:22:14.000 I want the most free society.

00:22:16.000 It's a big difference.

00:22:17.000 For me, I actually, if you were giving me around the orbit of the earth, you say, well, Charlie, we don't know where you're going to end up.

00:22:22.000 I'd say, I want to go to the place that has the most freedom, regardless of where on the income distribution I might end up.

00:22:29.000 And so Rawls would argue, well, no, you don't want freedom because that means people are unequal.

00:22:34.000 Well, I don't think having some form of inequality is nest.

00:22:39.000 First of all, I don't think it's possible to get rid of that form of inequality because everyone has different amounts of gifts that were given them by God.

00:22:45.000 Some people are smarter.

00:22:46.000 Some people are faster.

00:22:47.000 Some people work harder and they should be rewarded for that and good choices should be rewarded.

00:22:51.000 But secondly, I don't think it's desirable.

00:22:54.000 I don't think it's desirable to try to make everything equal.

00:22:57.000 I think that kind of world is actually much more similar to a prison than to a very multi-dimensional, flourishing society.

00:23:03.000 So Rawls, under his veil of ignorance exercise, and by the way, those of you in college that haven't yet experienced this yet or might or got through college without it, it's very kudos to you and God bless you because you avoided a huge piece of liberal indoctrination.

00:23:19.000 But for you parents out there, this is the type of stuff that your kids are being taught that you're funding most likely if you send your kids off to college.

00:23:26.000 Because they say, well, how could it possibly be fair if you don't know where you're going to enter into society?

00:23:30.000 And Rawls used that word fair, fair, fair, fair.

00:23:33.000 He must have used it thousands of times throughout all of his writings.

00:23:36.000 He was one of the most influential social justice advocates of our time.

00:23:41.000 Whereas if you even take Rawls' thought experiment at the very beginning, it's not totally incorrect.

00:23:47.000 The conclusion, there's no way if you believe in individual liberty, if you believe in natural rights and the Lockean view of human nature, there is no way that you could then say, well, we want everything to be totally fair and egalitarian.

00:23:58.000 He's like, no, actually, we want to be equal under the law, have some form of equal opportunity.

00:24:03.000 And wherever things end up, there's a reason why they ended up that way.

00:24:07.000 Because people made poor choices, because people didn't get married before they had kids, because people didn't get a job, because people didn't wake up early enough.

00:24:14.000 Now, we don't have that completely in America.

00:24:16.000 And we've identified that, that there are disadvantaged parts of America that actually have embraced some of Rawls' teaching because of government dependency, government subsidies, poor decisions by the political ruling class elite and a government that has actually betrayed our citizen.

00:24:30.000 So it's actually leaning more into the ideology of Rawls of why America's in some ways in a disadvantaged position, not the inverse.

00:24:38.000 So John Rawls is very influential to the American left.

00:24:41.000 It's important you guys know these thinkers, know these writers.

00:24:45.000 The more you know about the left, the more you're prepared about the next move they're about to do.

00:24:48.000 So let's get to the next question.

00:24:49.000 Before I do, though, I just want to correct one thing I said about John Rawls.

00:24:52.000 After he returned to the United States, he first served as an assistant and associate professor at Cornell University in 1962.

00:24:59.000 He became a full professor of Philosophy of Cornell and soon achieved a tenured position at MIT.

00:25:03.000 That same year, he moved to Harvard University.

00:25:05.000 So I just want to make sure we are totally spot on with what we share with you.

00:25:09.000 Next question, who wants to remain anonymous?

00:25:12.000 I'm a big fan of yours and writing from South Florida, where mainly everyone is left-leaning.

00:25:12.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:25:16.000 That is not good.

00:25:17.000 I have seen these photos inserted below going around, which happens to be a leftist cheat sheet of talking points.

00:25:22.000 Anyways, you have time to discuss these and I would love to have your help addressing them.

00:25:26.000 Thanks so much, Anonymous.

00:25:28.000 So there's this new kind of, I guess it's like a pamphlet or social media post that says, helpful rebuttals for racist talking points.

00:25:35.000 I'm just so sick of this nonsensical, everything is a racist in the entire world.

00:25:40.000 It's made by this guy at Char Cubed, inspired by at Sujoy subscore Shah, who are racists.

00:25:46.000 You will call me a racist? 0.96

00:25:47.000 You're a racist for what you're writing here. 1.00

00:25:49.000 You fools. 1.00

00:25:50.000 Okay, it says here, cops kill more people than white people. 1.00

00:25:52.000 And they say that this is a myth because, well, there's more white people than black people, which of course is true. 1.00

00:25:58.000 I always nuance by saying that. 0.99

00:26:00.000 They say, but cops don't kill more white people simply because they're white. 0.98

00:26:03.000 Well, cops aren't killing black people simply because they're black. 0.99

00:26:05.000 That's unproven. 0.98

00:26:07.000 That's totally unproven. 0.98

00:26:08.000 And it says this, and black people are killed by cops at a rate three times higher than white people. 0.97

00:26:12.000 Okay, well, let's talk about that. 1.00

00:26:14.000 Well, it's because black people commit more crimes than white people. 1.00

00:26:18.000 This is just statistically true. 1.00

00:26:20.000 Blacks make up 53% of known homicides in the United States, and they commit 60% of the robberies, yet they're 13% of the population. 1.00

00:26:30.000 Now, there's many different reasons for this, the largest of which is that there are not fathers in the black community. 0.99

00:26:36.000 I'm not saying black people are committing these crimes because they are black. 0.97

00:26:41.000 I'm not saying that. 0.99

00:26:43.000 The lazy, baseless leftist interpretation of when I say these statistics, they say, oh, you're racist.

00:26:49.000 Okay, saying facts don't make you a racist. 0.99

00:26:53.000 They say, well, you can't say these things because you're white.

00:26:56.000 Do things stop being true just because of the color of your skin?

00:26:59.000 Do things stop being rooted in data and statistics just because of how you look?

00:27:05.000 I thought we're supposed to judge things based on math and science and truth, not based on the color of your skin.

00:27:11.000 Blacks also die of homicide at eight times the rate of non-Hispanic whites. 0.94

00:27:17.000 They're overwhelmingly killed, not by cops, not by whites, but by other black people, according to the CDC. 0.98

00:27:24.000 Do you know there are more black homicides in America than all whites and all Hispanic homicides combined? 0.99

00:27:30.000 Tragically, the vast majority are black on black. 1.00

00:27:33.000 Now go back to this ridiculously useless pamphlet. 1.00

00:27:36.000 It says, well, what about black on black crime? 0.99

00:27:38.000 Say, we're discussing, and they put it in all caps because the fools want to try to make it seem like they're adding emphasis. 0.99

00:27:44.000 We're discussing racism, they say, and black people don't kill each other because they're black. 0.99

00:27:48.000 Firstly, well, white people don't kill black people because they're black either. 0.93

00:27:52.000 And if you can, I'm sure it's an outlier in the data. 0.95

00:27:55.000 Secondly, if you compare white and black neighborhoods with similar income levels, you see similar rates of crime. 0.91

00:28:00.000 Okay, right. 0.91

00:28:01.000 But most of black America lives at a lower income level, which is why the statistics are the way they are.

00:28:05.000 But systemic economic inequality is a factor that people forget.

00:28:10.000 So if you use comparison that put together both wealthy and upper middle class neighborhoods that are predominantly white and middle low income neighborhoods that have more people of color, it skews the data.

00:28:20.000 Poor people commit more crimes because economic insecurity leads to those crimes.

00:28:25.000 Okay, this is such an important point, an unbelievably important point.

00:28:29.000 I'm glad this is here because I actually haven't read this rubbish until now. 0.59

00:28:32.000 It just so happens that black people are still at an economic disadvantage because of the economic disadvantage because of the enduring consequence of American racism throughout history. 0.95

00:28:41.000 First of all, that's not true.

00:28:42.000 It's because you took fathers out of the Home Great Society Act, which impacted every single portion of the American population, white, Hispanic, Asian, and black. 0.61

00:28:48.000 It just impacted black Americans more because they happened to be urban. 0.64

00:28:52.000 They just happened to be domiciled more in urban areas.

00:28:54.000 So when they built the vertical housing units like Caprini Green, it impacted them more.

00:28:58.000 However, this is such a nonsensical lie.

00:29:01.000 And if anyone ever says this, stop them in their tracks.

00:29:05.000 Did you guys catch what was the biggest lie in this whole thing?

00:29:08.000 Poor people commit crimes because of economic insecurity.

00:29:13.000 Hold on a second.

00:29:15.000 Does poverty create crime?

00:29:18.000 Hold on.

00:29:20.000 Is that now what we're saying?

00:29:21.000 We are now giving excuses that people commit crime because they have economic insecurity.

00:29:28.000 That's an insult to every single poor person out there that doesn't commit crimes and has moved themselves into the American middle class.

00:29:37.000 What this is, is the bigotry of low expectations by these racists that created this pamphlet.

00:29:43.000 That somehow, because you're poor, it's more understandable if you go steal that big screen TV. 0.64

00:29:48.000 It's more understandable if you kill the cop because you don't have a lot of money.

00:29:52.000 No, it's a no tolerance for anyone on the economic distribution.

00:29:59.000 It's a zero tolerance for anyone at any time to commit crimes.

00:30:03.000 And it says here, they only have a one-sentence response to here.

00:30:05.000 They say, well, what about gun violence in black neighborhoods like Chicago?

00:30:08.000 The above info and economic inequality applies here too.

00:30:11.000 Also, this isn't directly related to this conversation.

00:30:14.000 Well, no, it's absolutely related to this conversation.

00:30:17.000 500 blacks are killed by other blacks in Chicago on average every single year.

00:30:22.000 Where's Black Lives Matter marching in the streets on that? 0.78

00:30:25.000 So let's just kind of play this out. 0.99

00:30:27.000 If black people aren't killing other black people because they're black people, why are they killing those other black people? 0.99

00:30:34.000 And the answer is, well, they're committing crimes or gang territory. 0.99

00:30:37.000 Like, okay, well, that's probably the reason for most crimes in America, not racism. 0.94

00:30:42.000 And by the way, if most blacks die because of crimes by other blacks, then maybe it's not racism. 0.99

00:30:49.000 Maybe it's the problems of why the blacks are killing the other blacks. 1.00

00:30:52.000 The next one says, if people just followed the law, they'd be fine, which is totally true. 0.99

00:30:56.000 No one's forcing you to commit crimes.

00:30:59.000 If you follow the law, you work hard, you get married before you have kids, and you get a job, you're going to break out of poverty in America.

00:31:04.000 Do those things.

00:31:05.000 However, it says, whether or not someone committed a crime does not mean they deserve to be killed. 0.82

00:31:10.000 Who in the heck says that people that don't commit crimes deserve to be killed?

00:31:14.000 Where is that a position of anyone out there?

00:31:18.000 Who defended George Floyd being killed?

00:31:21.000 Cops are not the judge, jury, and executioner.

00:31:24.000 Right.

00:31:26.000 Okay.

00:31:27.000 B, innocent people have been killed, quote, for feeding a description or misdemeanors or, quote, by accident, because a cop felt like they didn't fear repercussions.

00:31:36.000 Where's your evidence?

00:31:38.000 If you're talking about Rayshard Brooks, who was drunk at a drive-through and stole a police officer's weapon, they weren't killed because they fit a description.

00:31:51.000 He was killed because he almost tried to kill a police officer.

00:31:55.000 And I'm telling you, that police officer is probably going to get off.

00:31:58.000 They way overcharged and way overprosecuted him.

00:32:00.000 And finally, it says this: the law and the system protects white people in ways it does not protect black people, indigenous people, or people of color.

00:32:06.000 Where's the evidence for that?

00:32:08.000 Where in the United States Constitution, post-Civil Rights Act, does a black person not get a fair trial? 0.54

00:32:12.000 And let's just dive deeper into these numbers.

00:32:16.000 According to Michigan State University and University of Maryland at College Park, they created a database of 917 officer-involved fatal shootings in 2015 from more than 650 police departments.

00:32:26.000 55% were white, 27% were black, and 19% were Hispanic.

00:32:30.000 So fatal shootings, 55% of all fatal shootings in 2015 were white people.

00:32:35.000 Wow. 0.91

00:32:37.000 And 27% were black. 0.98

00:32:39.000 So a white person is twice as likely to be killed by a police officer in America than a black person. 1.00

00:32:44.000 Interesting. 1.00

00:32:45.000 Between 90 and 95% of civilians shot by officers in 2015 were attacking police or other citizens.

00:32:50.000 90% were armed with a weapon.

00:32:52.000 Unarmed or threat misperception killings are exceedingly rare at Michigan State University and University of Maryland.

00:32:57.000 Do you know there's over a thousand fatal police shootings a year out of 385 million police interactions a year?

00:33:02.000 And according to the Washington Post, which just conveniently just keeps changing their number, we first started exposing this, it was nine, then it became eight, and then they released a new number and it's 15.

00:33:12.000 So let's just use the 15 number.

00:33:13.000 15 unarmed black men were shot and killed by police last year.

00:33:17.000 But if you even use the term unarmed, some of these people were grabbing for the officer's weapon.

00:33:21.000 They said they had a weapon themselves.

00:33:23.000 And yet these lies just are allowed to continue to peddle on social media.

00:33:26.000 And the tech companies are taking down our content.

00:33:28.000 They're not taking down the content of the fraudulent misperception crowd. 0.90

00:33:32.000 Blacks make up only 25% of all fatal police encounters, even though they commit 10 times the amount of gun crimes than whites and Hispanics combined. 0.98

00:33:41.000 Cops are showing incredible restraint in highly dangerous and pressurized situations. 1.00

00:33:46.000 Look, this is just the truth. 1.00

00:33:48.000 Blacks commit more crimes. 1.00

00:33:50.000 There's reasons for this, mostly because there are not black fathers in the black community. 1.00

00:33:54.000 But you go city by city. 0.98

00:33:56.000 The reason why some of these numbers look like they're disproportionate is because blacks actually have more encounters with the police because they commit more homicides, because the data shows blacks commit more crimes. 0.95

00:34:08.000 It's not racist to say that. 0.96

00:34:10.000 That is what the data shows. 0.52

00:34:12.000 And again, I'm saying that as a, if I'm to explain why that is, it's because the Democrat Party has put black people through failing public schools. 0.57

00:34:22.000 We took fathers out of the home.

00:34:23.000 And 77% of black kids in America do not grow up with a stable father in the home.

00:34:29.000 By the way, Rudy Giuliani dropped crime in New York City's poorest neighborhood, not by excusing it away, but by policing it, by using data and community policing.

00:34:38.000 1994, there were 2,300 murders in New York City.

00:34:41.000 In 2019, 350.

00:34:44.000 Thank you, Rudy Giuliani.

00:34:45.000 You can go back in the archives and listen to the episode.

00:34:47.000 An August 2019 study by the proceedings of the National Academy of Science of researchers found that the more frequency officers encounter violent suspects from any racial group, the greater the chance that a member of that group will be fatally shot by a police officer.

00:35:02.000 There is, quote, no significant evidence of anti-black disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by the police, the National Academy of Sciences tells us.

00:35:09.000 A police officer is 18 and a half times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male to be killed by a cop, Manhattan Institute, Heather McDonald.

00:35:16.000 In 2015, Justice Department analysis of Philadelphia Police Department found that white police officers were less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects.

00:35:26.000 Black officers were 67% more likely than white officers to mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect.

00:35:31.000 Hispanic officers were 145% more likely than white officers to mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect. 0.99

00:35:39.000 Hmm, interesting. 0.91

00:35:40.000 Research by Harvard economist Roland G. Fryer Jr. also found no evidence of racial discrimination in shootings.

00:35:47.000 Black males make up 42% of all cop killers over the last decade, even though they are 6% of the nation's population.

00:35:54.000 So black males make up 42% of all cop deaths in America, despite them only being 6% of the population in America. 0.92

00:36:03.000 If you look at all the interracial violent victimizations, excluding homicide, so robberies, aggravated assaults, and rapes, blacks commit 85% of all interracial victimizations. 0.92

00:36:13.000 Whites, 15%. 0.95

00:36:15.000 In New York City, blacks commit 23% of the population. 0.97

00:36:18.000 They make up 50% of all the police stops.

00:36:21.000 This is not racial profiling.

00:36:22.000 Don't fall for that trap.

00:36:24.000 That's a lazy analysis.

00:36:25.000 All Black Lives Matter activists and the Al Sharptons of the world will use this as, see, they're being profiled and harassed at greater rates than the population proportion. 0.64

00:36:33.000 But blacks commit 75% of all the shootings in New York City. 0.71

00:36:38.000 You add Hispanic to black shootings, you account for nearly all the drive-bys in New York City. 0.98

00:36:43.000 That's true for almost every major city in America. 0.88

00:36:46.000 Whites in New York City are 34% of New York's population, but they commit less than 2% of the shooting.

00:36:51.000 Just recently in Chicago, there were 80 Chicagoans who were shot in drive-by shootings.

00:36:55.000 21 were fatally killed.

00:36:57.000 And the victims were almost all black.

00:36:59.000 And there was no media outcry.

00:37:00.000 This is according to the Chicago Police Department.

00:37:02.000 Police shootings are not the reason that blacks die of homicide at eight times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined. 0.55

00:37:08.000 It's black-on-black criminal violence of why that's happening. 0.85

00:37:12.000 The facts bear out that cops are extremely heroic and using actual above and beyond self-restraint.

00:37:19.000 Do not let the media or the mainstream activist media and the social media mob fool you.

00:37:24.000 Our cops are heroes.

00:38:21.000 So Mike has a great question.

00:38:22.000 It says, hey, Charlie, you talked about Saul Linsky's Rules for Radicals. 0.57

00:38:26.000 Great show.

00:38:26.000 However, are there rules for conservatives?

00:38:28.000 Well, first of all, our rules for conservatives are the Bible, where we try to respect other people and tell the truth.

00:38:33.000 And I actually, I mean, I love Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.

00:38:37.000 Now, understand that the Rules for Radicals written by Saul Linsky, they're political tactics and they're very Luciferian in nature.

00:38:45.000 And I don't say that lightly.

00:38:47.000 And what I mean by Luciferian, the dedication to the book is literally to Lucifer.

00:38:51.000 So I'm not using a description that isn't actually within the text.

00:38:57.000 But why do I say that?

00:38:59.000 They're rooted in deceit.

00:39:00.000 They're rooted in darkness.

00:39:01.000 It's rooted in disruption.

00:39:03.000 It's rooted in trying to destabilize something that already exists in a state of order.

00:39:09.000 And so understand that that struggle of order versus chaos, the rules for radicals are trying to get us closer to a state of chaos, not a state of order, not a state of functioning families or vibrant communities or students being educated or people being able to live better, moral, stable lives.

00:39:25.000 Instead, it's trying to get us away from that core of Western society.

00:39:32.000 Now, if we take this a step further, what are the rules for conservatives?

00:39:35.000 Well, I think Donald Trump has taught us some really good rules for conservatives.

00:39:38.000 And actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea to write some of these down and might actually be a good book one day.

00:39:42.000 So thank you, Mike.

00:39:43.000 I'll send you a copy of the MAGA Doctrine.

00:39:45.000 I do think someone wrote something like this recently.

00:39:47.000 I remember like five or six years ago, someone wrote a book that says Rules for Freedom or something like that.

00:39:52.000 But anyway, I think number one is you never bow down to the mob.

00:39:55.000 You fight them.

00:39:56.000 You fight the life early and often, even if it seems like it's not an important fight that you don't care that much about.

00:40:00.000 Because if you stake the fight early and often, then they will never get to the things that really truly matter for the future of the country.

00:40:06.000 So that's why you have to fight on the Bubba Wallace thing, that absolute fraud who's a NASCAR driver, who's Bubba Smollett.

00:40:14.000 He should be arrested for faking a hate crime.

00:40:17.000 And he knew it wasn't true, by the way.

00:40:19.000 He just totally went with it.

00:40:20.000 NASCAR went with it. 0.99

00:40:22.000 And the absolute fool and the choker LeBron James sent out that tweet: I'm with you, brother. 0.99

00:40:26.000 And by the way, I'm not, I'm going to just say this. 0.99

00:40:29.000 The Charlie Kirk show team will tell you.

00:40:32.000 I have the text to prove it in our group chat.

00:40:35.000 I said, I'm calling it.

00:40:36.000 This is a hoax 100%.

00:40:38.000 Now, I didn't tweet it.

00:40:39.000 I got to say, I didn't totally, you know, go with my gut instinct there, but I do have it in writing.

00:40:45.000 And so, look, the rules are fight early, fight often, draw the lines, tell the truth.

00:40:50.000 That's a rule of the conservative, because the truth will win the argument.

00:40:54.000 The truth will liberate people from the lies of the left, the misery that they are trying to create in our country, the despair, the hopelessness that they are trying to spread all across this beautiful country of ours.

00:41:09.000 And just a good conservative principle is that if some alleged conservative principle makes you less free, then it's not a good conservative principle and you should toss it in the track.

00:41:19.000 If it makes you less free, probably not a good thing for you to be advocating for.

00:41:24.000 So let's get to the last question here.

00:41:26.000 Hey, Charlie, do you think sports are going to come back this fall?

00:41:29.000 Thanks so much, George from Idaho.

00:41:31.000 Well, George, I think every school should be open.

00:41:35.000 I think we should have football.

00:41:36.000 I think we should have baseball and basketball.

00:41:38.000 I am a huge advocate of not allowing America to lock down again.

00:41:45.000 We cannot allow America to go through another series of lockdowns.

00:41:48.000 It would be the death of America as we know it, and it would be the greatest gift the Democrat Party.

00:41:54.000 We should have football back.

00:41:55.000 We should have baseball back.

00:41:56.000 We should have basketball back.

00:41:57.000 And it should be quick and it should be a celebration.

00:42:00.000 And if you don't want to leave your house and you're worried about getting the Chinese coronavirus, then stay at home and we'll take care of you.

00:42:05.000 The charities will rise up.

00:42:07.000 We'll make sure you're fed.

00:42:08.000 We'll make sure you're supported.

00:42:09.000 And there are plenty of social structure to help people.

00:42:12.000 But instead, we are using the central planning authoritarian model that, and Republicans are doing this as well.

00:42:18.000 But I want to applaud Governor Kemp, Governor DeSantis, and Governor Noam, three of the good governors.

00:42:23.000 And I hope they do not back down.

00:42:25.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:42:26.000 To just say, oh, no, the healthy people can't leave their home anymore.

00:42:29.000 Well, what?

00:42:30.000 Hold on a second.

00:42:31.000 Why can't you just tell me to act responsibly so I don't come in touch, don't come in contact with the people that are at risk that have comorbidities?

00:42:37.000 Why are you restricting my freedom and liberty?

00:42:40.000 Why?

00:42:41.000 I complied for 100 days while you shut down Western society at massive cost.

00:42:47.000 Increase in suicides, alcoholism, drug usage, mental illness, depression, joblessness, economic anxiety.

00:42:54.000 The market still hasn't fully recovered.

00:42:56.000 And somehow we now have to be, oh, yeah, lock it down again.

00:43:02.000 Sure, why not?

00:43:02.000 Cuomo, let's just go through this whole exercise again.

00:43:05.000 It's not going to happen.

00:43:06.000 We are not going to tolerate that.

00:43:08.000 And by the way, people say, well, Charlie, you're advocating for civil disobedience.

00:43:12.000 Hold on a second.

00:43:13.000 We just had half a million people in the streets, many of whom were not wearing masks, protesting the death of George Floyd.

00:43:20.000 And if you saw this picture of them in Philadelphia, it'll make your head spin.

00:43:23.000 So, I have very little patience at all whatsoever for this entire new lockdown crowd.

00:43:29.000 And I just got off the phone with a dear friend of mine in Colorado, and they said, Well, Charlie, I don't know if we're going to have high school football this fall.

00:43:36.000 They're about to decide that they're going to have no high school football.

00:43:38.000 I'm like, You're going to rob kids of their high school football season because the statistics show they're more likely to die from the flu.

00:43:46.000 The statistics show that they're more likely to die from the flu than COVID-19.

00:43:49.000 It's not the case when you get in your 30s and 40s and 50s, but under the, when you're in your early 20s or if you're 16, 17, 18, the risk of you losing your life is minuscule.

00:44:00.000 And you're going to, they are more likely to die driving to school every single day than die of COVID-19.

00:44:07.000 Are you going to say that children should no longer drive to school?

00:44:10.000 Because if your position is to save lives at all costs, I want to see an automobile ban advocated by the American left now.

00:44:19.000 It's just so interesting because if you're actually about saving lives, why don't you just ban all alcohol?

00:44:25.000 You know how many deaths are related to alcohol every single year?

00:44:29.000 People drink themselves to death.

00:44:31.000 People get drunk and commit murders.

00:44:34.000 They commit domestic abuse.

00:44:36.000 And so, if the new position of the American left and the Republicans are so weak, I mean, Republicans have no idea how to discuss this at all.

00:44:43.000 Like, well, I don't want to lose reelection.

00:44:45.000 So, you'd rather lose the country than lose re-election.

00:44:49.000 They don't fight on the issues of American dignity and sovereignty.

00:44:53.000 They don't fight on the tech issues.

00:44:55.000 They don't fight on the issues against Black Lives Matter insurrection against our country. 0.58

00:44:59.000 They don't fight on the history of our country.

00:45:01.000 They don't fight on the statues.

00:45:03.000 Their silence is crippling our country.

00:45:07.000 And we're louder than ever here on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:45:09.000 And thank you for supporting us.

00:45:10.000 When you guys go to charliekirk.com/slash support, you are allowing us to reach millions and millions of people every single month and be eventually self-reliant.

00:45:20.000 So thank you for that.

00:45:22.000 Open up America right now.

00:45:24.000 Open up quickly.

00:45:25.000 Open it up definitively.

00:45:28.000 As I can tell you right now, if they lock down the country, Joe Biden is going to win the election.

00:45:33.000 That's it.

00:45:33.000 Joe Biden has won the election if we lock down again.

00:45:36.000 And I'm looking at you, Republican governors, that are locking down your states again. 0.99

00:45:39.000 You are cowards. 0.99

00:45:41.000 The lockdowns don't work. 0.99

00:45:43.000 Tell people who are at risk to stay home.

00:45:46.000 Tell people who are not at risk to act carefully and responsibly.

00:45:51.000 That's called liberty.

00:45:53.000 If these Republican governors are serious, they should just go confiscate all the weapons because people die because of weapons.

00:45:59.000 We can't trust people with freedom anymore, right?

00:46:02.000 It's like the entire Republican Party has now decided they want Joe Biden to become president.

00:46:06.000 They want our country to burn, and they're doing nothing because of it.

00:46:10.000 God bless Donald Trump.

00:46:12.000 We need a new conservative movement now more than ever.
