00:01:47.000 You guys win a signed copy of the New York Times bestseller, The MAGA Doctrine.

00:01:53.000 New York Times bestseller.

00:01:54.000 Honored to say that.

00:01:55.000 Not a big fan of the New York Times, but let's get to some questions.

00:01:59.000 Here is the first question from Darren from Indiana.

00:02:01.000 Hey, Charlie, what do you think about the movie Cuties on Netflix?

00:02:06.000 Should I cancel my Netflix subscription?

00:02:09.000 Thanks so much, Darren from Indiana.

00:02:12.000 So for those that don't know, there is a new show that is nothing less than pro-pedophile content on Netflix.

00:02:22.000 Some people are calling it child pornography.

00:02:24.000 Hard to argue against that.

00:02:26.000 A growing list of lawmakers are now condemning Netflix over its recently released drama, Cuties. 0.99

00:02:33.000 I'm reading from WesternJournal.com, which disgustingly and without any sort of reasoning at all, they sexualize twerking pre-teen girls.

00:02:45.000 Now, if you even watch a little bit of the clips from it, and I have not watched it because I refuse to watch anything that glorifies or gives credence to child pornography, if you even watch a clip that they're showing on television about it, it makes you sick to your stomach.

00:03:02.000 Now, the question is, why is this happening?

00:03:04.000 Well, first of all, my opinion, before I get into why is this happening, my opinion is it's reprehensible and disgusting, and it's also inevitable.

00:03:12.000 This is absolutely where things are headed.

00:03:14.000 You have to understand for the moral relativists that have been trying to disintegrate our country for so long, they have told us that they won't go certain areas.

00:03:24.000 They say, oh, the transgender debate, it's really just about people who think they are women who are actually men or people that think they are men that are actually women.

00:03:33.000 But when we challenge, we say, what happens when your movement starts to embrace pedophilia? 0.70

00:03:39.000 What happens when your movement starts to embrace the most disgusting aspects of our society?

00:03:47.000 And of course, the activists said, oh, that will never happen.

00:03:49.000 Well, what just happened in California is exactly related to the movie Cuties on Netflix from the Los Angeles Times.

00:03:58.000 Newsome signs bill intended to end discrimination against LGBTQ people and sex crime convictions.

00:04:03.000 My goodness, is this a misleading headline?

00:04:07.000 Not only is it misleading, it is a lie.

00:04:09.000 If you read SB Bill 145, it argues that existing state law should no longer allow judges to be extra harsh on people that were sex offenders when the minor is 14 years or younger.

00:04:30.000 Currently, adults who have been convicted of having sex with a minor in California are automatically added to the state's sex offender registry.

00:04:39.000 SB 145 will eliminate automatic sex offender registration in those cases and give judges now discretion to make that decision.

00:04:47.000 I'm reading from the LA Times that says Newsom's decision to sign the legislation promises to have both a state and national political impact, along with opposition from Republicans in the state legislature, supporters of President Trump, and far-right conspiracy theorists have seized on a bill in an attempt to use the measure as a political wedge issue and a rallying cry with some falsely on social media claiming that California is legalizing pedophilia.

00:05:11.000 What doesn't legalize pedophilia, it panders to pedophiles and makes it that judges now have leniency of how they enforce sex registry with pedophiles.

00:05:22.000 Let me be very clear.

00:05:22.000 My position on this is not that complicated.

00:05:26.000 If you are accused, indicted, and convicted, those three things, accused, indicted, and convicted of sexual assault against a minor, you should never leave a prison.

00:05:37.000 You're done for the rest of your life.

00:05:38.000 It's that simple, life in prison.

00:05:40.000 Throw away the key. 0.90

00:05:42.000 What California has just done is decriminalize pedophilia. 0.88

00:05:46.000 Now pair that up with the recent movie, Cuties.

00:05:50.000 It seems as if that the Democrat Party and members of the liberal base are more and more interested in trying to normalize child sex crimes than actually defending the interests of the American people or protect children.

00:06:06.000 Why is the left so interested in young children?

00:06:10.000 I don't know.

00:06:10.000 That's a question that I don't have an answer for.

00:06:13.000 But I do have another deeper point, which is exactly why this is happening.

00:06:18.000 You see, this is happening because when a culture or a civilization loses its soul, loses a protection of the innocent, protection of children, then you will get into a state of chaos.

00:06:31.000 We're in a state of societal chaos.

00:06:33.000 And if you're a parent listening to this right now and you're unaware of what's happening with Cuties or SB 145 that Newsom has now signed into law, boy, you got to ratchet up your activism.

00:06:43.000 I really encourage you to do that.

00:06:45.000 I encourage you to type in SB 145 and read for yourself how in the state of California, pedophiles are now given more leniency.

00:06:52.000 Essentially, Gavin Newsom and the band of Democrats that are in charge in California, they are now going out of their way to pander to the needs, wants, and interests of sex criminals that exploit our children in our country.

00:07:07.000 And that's what Netflix does as well.

00:07:09.000 It's amazing.

00:07:09.000 We as conservatives have to answer for anything anyone does in the entire conservative movement.

00:07:15.000 One person does something wrong, we have to denounce it.

00:07:17.000 Barack Obama and Michelle Obama receive tens of millions of dollars from Netflix.

00:07:21.000 Why don't they have to speak out against the child pornography special cuties?

00:07:28.000 Tulsi Gabbard is one of the Democrats that is not part of the corporate warmonger wing of the Democrat Party, said, quote, Netflix child porn cuties will certainly whet the appetite of pedophiles and help fuel the child sex trafficking trade.

00:07:41.000 She added, one in four victims of trafficking are children.

00:07:44.000 It happened to my friend's 13-year-old daughter.

00:07:47.000 Gabbard concluded by saying, Netflix, you are now complicit.

00:07:50.000 But Tulsi Gabbard is not finished by connecting the film to human trafficking and arguing the issue is not getting enough attention.

00:07:57.000 However, isn't it amazing how Alyssa Milano, who's a complete and total fraud, how the activist wing of the Democrat Party that marched in the streets against Brett Kavanaugh, that pounded on the doors of the Supreme Court, that screamed that the world is over because an innocent man was at going to Supreme Court, they are dead silent with no activism at all.

00:08:18.000 Now that pedophilia is decriminalized in California, and now that you have one of the top shows on Netflix, Cuties, which is so disgusting, so morally reprehensible, should be illegal, by the way.

00:08:34.000 Should be illegal.

00:08:35.000 It should not be legal to air this.

00:08:37.000 There should be a federal law of some sort that says you cannot sexualize 11 and 12-year-old girls.

00:08:41.000 That simple.

00:08:42.000 And whoever shot that disgusting film, whatever parents allowed their kids to be in that film, whatever producers are part of that film, should all be held criminally accountable.

00:08:50.000 Children are innocent.

00:08:53.000 And what the left has done, and they've always done this, the moral relativists have done this.

00:08:57.000 They prey on children's innocence.

00:09:00.000 But this is all very predictable.

00:09:01.000 It's only going to get worse.

00:09:02.000 It's only going to get worse.

00:09:03.000 You're going to see more movements for the normalization of pedophilia in our country.

00:09:07.000 You're going to see more movements for children that continue to be exploited in our country.

00:09:13.000 And so this is not over now that all of a sudden we're just seeing, oh, here's one movie and here's one bill in California.

00:09:20.000 Josh Hawley said, Netflix should explain to the public, he's a senator from Missouri, why it is distributing a film Cuties that appears to be sexually exploit children and endanger child welfare.

00:09:30.000 Mike Lee said, the exploitation of minors will not be tolerated.

00:09:35.000 Laura Ingram said that she has canceled her Netflix account.

00:09:40.000 I encourage all of you to do the same.

00:09:41.000 I encourage all of you to cancel Netflix, which is now nothing more than a child pornography service.

00:09:46.000 I don't care if they have Tiger King, of which I watched, I also have canceled my Netflix services as well.

00:09:52.000 There has to be a cost for this, everybody.

00:09:54.000 There has to be a price to be paid.

00:09:56.000 Because right now you have the Hollywood cartel and the Democrat political elite that are legislatively and culturally trying to normalize one of the sickest sins that human beings can commit, which is the sexual exploitation of children.

00:10:12.000 And we have been warning against this for quite some time.

00:10:14.000 We being conservatives, we being people that believe in morals.

00:10:19.000 And the left always laughed at us. 0.99

00:10:21.000 And you also see this in some of the LGBT gay pride parades, the hyper-sexualization of children. 0.99

00:10:27.000 And we've spoken out against it. 0.55

00:10:29.000 And the more we speak out against it, the more we are mocked by the activist media.

00:10:34.000 But this is beyond just laughing.

00:10:37.000 This is beyond just a little bit of a problem.

00:10:41.000 This is a moral tragedy that this is allowed to go unaddressed in our country.

00:10:47.000 That now we have on the top streaming platform consumption in America and in the world, Netflix, something that is none other than the most graphic forms of pedophilia you could possibly imagine.

00:10:59.000 It is up for parents.

00:11:01.000 It is up for decent and reasonable people for this to stop.

00:11:04.000 My generation is fighting as hard as we can.

00:11:07.000 I should say my conservative generation is fighting as hard as we can.

00:11:11.000 Where are the parents on this issue?

00:11:13.000 I just got out of a meeting with a couple parents.

00:11:16.000 I was in the suburbs of Chicago here, people I grew up with.

00:11:20.000 They think that Donald Trump is to blame for all this.

00:11:22.000 I had to leave the meeting in like five minutes.

00:11:24.000 It was not even worth my time.

00:11:26.000 They said, well, I don't quite understand how you can support President Trump, who's the one that is perpetuating all this division.

00:11:32.000 I just asked him, I said, do you guys have any idea what's going on with SP 145 or with QTs or anything?

00:11:36.000 Oh, no, none of that's real.

00:11:38.000 It's all just right-wing conspiracy.

00:11:40.000 There are so many adults that have allowed this to happen.

00:11:43.000 And if you do not believe me, just go look up QDs for yourself.

00:11:46.000 Go look up the imagery where they have 11 and 12-year-old girls being sex trafficked, basically, and in some ways being used for monetary gain.

00:11:55.000 So that's my thought on that.

00:11:57.000 I think it should be illegal.

00:11:58.000 I think that anyone associated should be put in prison.

00:12:00.000 I think that the young children in cuties should be given counseling and should be given healing because they are now being used in front of millions of eyeballs for the sickest, most disgusting sin, one of the most disgusting sins and crimes I can think of, that is now being normalized by the Hollywood elites and the Democrat leaders in our country.

00:13:55.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:13:56.000 I love all your work.

00:13:57.000 My stubborn friend has tried to convince me that no matter what, our country will not be able to turn socialist or fascist.

00:14:04.000 Can you please help me defend this argument as we can see things more fascist already?

00:14:08.000 Sincerely, Grant.

00:14:09.000 Well, first of all, I love your question because I have always argued that we are more at danger of first becoming a fascist country before we become a socialist country.

00:14:17.000 Now, what's the difference between socialism and fascism?

00:14:20.000 They're both cousins of the same sort of collectivist urge to control everything in our country and in our society.

00:14:27.000 They're similar, but they're different in some ways.

00:14:29.000 Socialism is a transition phase from capitalism to communism.

00:14:33.000 Marx talked about this.

00:14:34.000 And if you guys have any questions about Karl Marx, I highly encourage you guys to check out our episode earlier this week where I talked about Karl Marx.

00:14:42.000 It was one of my favorite episodes I did where we really dive deep in the philosophical and political figure that was Karl Marx, one of the most cited yet least understood thinkers, philosophers, and political authors in world history.

00:14:55.000 But socialism and fascism both agree that government should have a bigger role in industry and in human life.

00:15:04.000 Where fascism will differentiate a little bit is fascism will want a small select few of companies to serve the interests of government, the ruling class, but they won't completely nationalize those companies.

00:15:16.000 They'd almost become private public partnerships. 0.53

00:15:19.000 Germany did this in some sense.

00:15:22.000 Some of the companies that a lot of you might enjoy, such as Hugo Boss, such as Lufthansa, such as Volkswagen, all of those were actually companies or pseudo-public-private partnerships that are built together for the quote-unquote betterment of the German people.

00:15:43.000 Hugo Boss designed all of the uniforms for the German military.

00:15:47.000 Lufthansa, of course, comes from the term Luftwaffe.

00:15:51.000 Volkswagen means the people's car.

00:15:54.000 Porsche, Mercedes, Mercedes made all of the Mercedes-Benz, made all of the cars for the German infantry and army alongside Volkswagen, but Volkswagen made the citizens' cars.

00:16:06.000 Autobahn, which is the highway in Germany, which is less of a public-private partnership, more just of a highway.

00:16:13.000 Anyway, you start to still to this day see some of these companies that still exist that started in 1930s Germany, whereas the Soviet Union, you really have, we don't have any companies that were there. 0.72

00:16:24.000 I mean, they just nationalize everything. 0.86

00:16:26.000 So that would be one of the major differences.

00:16:28.000 I would also say that the difference between socialism and fascism, at least philosophically, but not in practice, which, again, I can only go so far on kind of creating theory and thought bubbles on whiteboards.

00:16:41.000 I actually have to go to practice and to history.

00:16:43.000 And I think that's a very important lesson for everyone listening to this: it's only so helpful to dive into the theoretical to an extent, but you actually have to get to the applicable.

00:16:54.000 You have to get to the real.

00:16:55.000 And so, in the real world, in the actual practice, socialism and fascism feel very similar.

00:17:01.000 Socialism and fascism, when they are put into practice, both require death squads.

00:17:06.000 They both require gulags.

00:17:08.000 They require the absolute destruction of free speech, due process, the individual, and all things that we take for granted here in Western society.

00:17:17.000 So, to build this out even further, your friend is worried that we might turn into a socialist or fascist country.

00:17:25.000 We're already turning into a fascist country, which can easily turn into a socialist country.

00:17:30.000 Again, the only difference in socialism and fascism is how you use the gun you have given the government, the metaphorical gun.

00:17:36.000 If you become a fascist country, you can easily become a socialist country almost overnight.

00:17:41.000 And we're almost becoming a fascist country.

00:17:43.000 And it's not because of President Trump.

00:17:44.000 President Trump is actually the true anti-fascist president.

00:17:48.000 Go figure that one for an Orwellian lie that all of us have been told.

00:17:52.000 President Trump is the absolute ambassador of freedom of speech, private property, entrepreneurship.

00:17:58.000 He's the defender of different ideas in the marketplace.

00:18:01.000 Whereas the left has actually assumed a much more fascist posture.

00:18:06.000 They're no longer talking about abolishing top corporations.

00:18:09.000 They want to solidify their incumbency.

00:18:11.000 They want to protect the power they already have.

00:18:14.000 So, for your friend Grant, have him read a little bit of 20th century history.

00:18:19.000 Have him learn about how quickly China, Cuba, Italy, Germany, the Soviet Union, Zimbabwe, how quickly they went from somewhat functioning normal countries to be completely disintegrated.

00:18:36.000 There is no guarantee.

00:18:38.000 There is no promise that America will always be free.

00:18:42.000 You have to understand that we are living in real time through an experiment.

00:18:47.000 This experiment very well might fail at any time.

00:18:52.000 It's an experiment that people should be able to say whatever they want whenever they want to, that they can seek their religion as they see fit, that they can own a firearm if they want to, that the government does not have the right to invade their property, the Fourth Amendment.

00:19:07.000 That you can flourish, that you can travel, that you can speak against your government, that you can sue your government.

00:19:14.000 Eric Metaxas famously talks about the golden triangle.

00:19:18.000 We have the golden triangle of virtue, freedom, and faith.

00:19:22.000 One cannot exist without the other.

00:19:25.000 If you do not have virtue, therefore you don't have faith.

00:19:28.000 If you don't have faith, but you must have freedom to have that faith.

00:19:32.000 And one requires the other.

00:19:33.000 And if you do not have freedom, therefore do you really have faith?

00:19:38.000 It's a very interesting thing to think about.

00:19:40.000 And if you don't have virtue, well, where do you get virtue from?

00:19:43.000 From faith.

00:19:44.000 So, that golden triangle is so important to building out the ideas that built our entire society that far too often we take, not just for granted.

00:19:55.000 That is something we say far too often that has become a cliche, but we take it as normal.

00:20:01.000 I had someone say the other day, well, Charlie, they stopped me when I was at a restaurant or an airport or somewhere.

00:20:06.000 They said, Charlie, I like your stuff, but you're a little bit too alarmist when you talk about things that are quite honestly just common sense.

00:20:14.000 It's common sense that people should be able to speak freely.

00:20:17.000 It's common sense that we have private property.

00:20:19.000 It's not as if that's debated at all. 0.98

00:20:23.000 What a foolish thing that must be to believe. 1.00

00:20:26.000 It's unbelievably foolish to believe that. 0.99

00:20:29.000 To believe that what we have here is how it is the rest of the world. 0.78

00:20:34.000 We've talked about India before, but I'm reading this incredible book by Vishal Mang Dawaldi.

00:20:40.000 I mispronounce his name.

00:20:41.000 I totally apologize to him.

00:20:42.000 I know him.

00:20:43.000 We're going to have him on our podcast.

00:20:44.000 He's so brilliant.

00:20:46.000 And he talks about looking at the West from an Eastern perspective.

00:20:49.000 Go to Calcutta.

00:20:50.000 Go to Hyderabad.

00:20:52.000 Go to New Delhi. 1.00

00:20:53.000 And in the Hindu-Buddhist Islamic country that they have, go look at the value of human life. 0.95

00:21:01.000 Go to most Southeast Asian countries and go see how they value the poorest people. 0.96

00:21:08.000 In the West, we consider it common sense that we look after the least of these.

00:21:11.000 Go to most African countries that don't have Western influence, that don't have a Judeo-Christian ethic or a fabric built within them, where the women have to walk five miles outside their village before the crack of dawn to go fill up water, carry it on their head another five miles while the man sleeps in till noon. 0.99

00:21:29.000 Now, you might say, well, Charlie, it's because they don't have technology. 0.93

00:21:33.000 Well, we've had plenty of efforts to try to give them that technology.

00:21:36.000 It's not that.

00:21:37.000 They do not have the moral system that has been built from the bottom up of a system that understands and reads the Bible, that respects all human beings made in the image of God, that says we need technology because our women are being exploited by having to walk five miles outside of the village and five miles back while the man abuses her. 0.89

00:21:57.000 In a Christian construct, that is not tolerated. 0.87

00:22:00.000 It's not allowed. 1.00

00:22:03.000 We can lose this gift, this experiment we have been given so quickly, instantaneously.

00:22:08.000 And Grant, I love your question and congratulations.

00:22:10.000 You've won a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine.

00:22:13.000 I get this question all the time.

00:22:14.000 Charlie, it won't happen here.

00:22:17.000 I hope it never does.

00:22:20.000 But in some ways, it already is.

00:22:21.000 Explain to me how Portland is still part of the United States.

00:22:25.000 100-plus days of riots and arson and looting, anarchy on the streets, the self-censorship happening.

00:22:31.000 If you walked through downtown Portland with the Trump sign, you would get physically berated and attacked.

00:22:38.000 Fascism is already coming.

00:22:39.000 Socialism is basically already here in New York.

00:22:42.000 They've shut down every business.

00:22:44.000 They're going to have thousands and thousands of small businesses go permanently under of restaurants that will never be able to survive again.

00:22:52.000 So, Grant, have your friend read a little bit of 20th century history.

00:22:56.000 Maybe there'll be a little bit more humility of how fragile what we have actually is, about how it can be stolen from us in an instant, about how this incredible society that we enjoy can be shattered in an instant.

00:23:11.000 I hope we no longer have the cockiness of what we have will always be the case.

00:23:15.000 It's very, very dangerous.

00:23:19.000 There's a big problem out there.

00:23:21.000 Our heroes, first responders, they have a tough job to do.

00:23:25.000 And they also have to pay out of pocket for their own gear that they need to do their job.

00:23:29.000 EMS, police, fire, medical workers on the front lines, and even military units deal with constrained budgets and outdated gear, but there's still a job to do, and you need the gear to do it.

00:23:40.000 Hunting for military and first responder discounts has historically required going from one website to another, creating multiple accounts, logins to make purchases, and jumping through various hoops to verify your source.

00:23:52.000 Don't you wish there was one place you could visit that had a carefully crafted selection of deals for military and first responders in one spot where there is?

00:23:59.000 It's called GovX.

00:24:00.000 GovX works directly with brands to negotiate the best prices possible because you deserve the gear you need at the prices you've earned.

00:24:07.000 Plus, you can trust that the gear you're ordering is 100% authentic, direct from the manufacturer.

00:24:12.000 A huge collection of gear and apparel from popular brands, all in one convenient location.

00:24:17.000 GovX honors your service and gives back to your communities.

00:24:21.000 If you're an American of service, a current or former member of the military, firefighting, frontline medical or law enforcement communities, or the emergency medical, join GovX for free and enjoy a community that honors and gives back to patriots like you.

00:24:53.000 Next question.

00:24:54.000 Hello, Charlie.

00:24:55.000 I'm a daily listener, a monthly contributor, and I thoroughly enjoy your show.

00:24:58.000 And I'll give a small plug.

00:24:58.000 Well, thank you.

00:25:00.000 If you want to become a monthly contributor, every dollar you give is match dollar for dollar at charliekirk.com/slash support.

00:25:06.000 So thank you and God bless you.

00:25:07.000 I live in Southeast Tennessee with my wife and my family.

00:25:11.000 I know several pastors who, with woke ideologies in the area, that are actively trying to plant churches in the middle of black communities to diversify their congregations.

00:25:20.000 I feel they have good intentions, but something seems very wrong about this.

00:25:24.000 Why are so many young and woke white pastors trying to plant churches in the black community?

00:25:29.000 Thank you.

00:25:30.000 Well, first of all, I have no problem with planting churches anywhere.

00:25:32.000 So I just want to be very clear about that.

00:25:34.000 I can't quite figure out why what drives people motivationally.

00:25:38.000 I'm very careful to try to criticize people's motivations unless they tell me their motivations.

00:25:43.000 I will say this, though, that the virus of wokeism that has infiltrated academia, Hollywood, and the churches in our country is very, very dangerous.

00:25:52.000 If your pastor believes in BLM Incorporated, they are believing something so anti-Christian, anti-biblical, they should resign as a pastor or be compassionately and lovingly corrected.

00:26:05.000 If they believe in the disruption of the Western prescribed nuclear family, if they believe in calling spirits back from the dead, which BLM Incorporated does many different times in the streets of Los Angeles and other places, if they believe that all people of white color skin must apologize for something they did not do, but they might look like somebody who once did that, then they are quite honestly dancing with a racist, anti-biblical, very dark ideology.

00:26:30.000 And so a lot of these young pastors, quite honestly, they do not even believe in the Bible that they speak about.

00:26:36.000 At least that's how it comes across when they give their sermons.

00:26:38.000 They do not articulate any sort of defense for the civilization that gives them the right to be able to profess their faith.

00:26:44.000 They're much more interested in social justice than actually pursuing eternal truth.

00:26:48.000 So that's how I can comment on that one, but I can't.

00:26:50.000 I'm all for planting churches and all sorts of communities, but I also do not want to ever support this idea of white guilt where white people must go into black communities and be black people's savior.

00:27:01.000 I think that is very dangerous and it is wrong.

00:27:04.000 Here's the next question.

00:27:05.000 Aiden from Florida.

00:27:07.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:27:07.000 My name is Aiden and I'm a college freshman.

00:27:09.000 I'm an online and hybrid student, so I rarely go to my physical campus.

00:27:13.000 And when I do, it's Satellite One.

00:27:14.000 Are there ways I can still get involved at Turning Point USA?

00:27:16.000 Thank you so much.

00:27:17.000 Absolutely, yes.

00:27:18.000 I didn't read this question beforehand.

00:27:19.000 You guys can go to tpusa.com, tpusa.com.

00:27:22.000 And just a little side note on Turning Point USA.

00:27:25.000 We're on over 2,000 high school and college campuses across the country.

00:27:28.000 I have traveled over 35 states in just the last 30 days, from Maine to California to Arizona to Minnesota to Michigan to Indiana, Florida, Georgia, you name it.

00:27:38.000 I have been there.

00:27:39.000 We have a country to save, and we are working so hard at turning point action through our political arm and Turning Point USA, our nonprofit arm, our 501c3, to educate young people.

00:27:49.000 We are working to save our republic.

00:27:51.000 It's a republic if you can keep it, which Ben Franklin famously said.

00:27:55.000 We got to do more, everybody.

00:27:57.000 I'm trying to live that out.

00:27:58.000 We have to have more energy.

00:27:59.000 We have to have more spirit.

00:28:01.000 We have to have more sacrifice.

00:28:02.000 We have to give more money.

00:28:03.000 We have to knock on more doors.

00:28:05.000 We have to tell more people about what is happening in our country.

00:28:08.000 And we have to educate more young people.

00:28:10.000 And so for Aiden, yes, go to tpusa.com.

00:28:12.000 And if anyone wants to email me to get involved, go to freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:28:17.000 In fact, I've been wanting to do this.

00:28:18.000 If there's any college student listening right now or any high school student and you have encountered any sort of liberal bias that you feel is newsworthy or is worthy of going public, you guys can always email me things you are processing, seeing, struggling with freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:28:35.000 Either myself or our team will do our best to respond to you.

00:28:39.000 I read every single email.

00:28:40.000 There's not one email that comes to freedom at charliekirk.com that I do not read personally.

00:28:45.000 So if you guys are seeing something, you guys are processing something, you see a news article that you want me to cover, a news article you think I'm missing or something that you gently might want to correct me on, you guys can always email me at freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:28:59.000 But if you're a young person and you are fighting on campus or you are struggling on campus and you see something outlandish that is quite honestly something that you would hope would get on the news because of how outrageous it is, you guys can email me as well as at freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:29:15.000 I encourage all of you also to go to professorwatchlist.org to find out who's actually teaching your children.

00:29:20.000 ProfessorWatchlist.org, professorwatchless.org.

00:29:24.000 Next question from Tana.

00:29:25.000 Congratulations.

00:29:26.000 I might have mispronounced it.

00:29:27.000 Tana or Tana.

00:29:28.000 You went a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine.

00:29:30.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:29:30.000 I don't really have a question for you because you and Tucker Carlson have answered the 30 plus questions I would want answers for.

00:29:36.000 Well, thank you.

00:29:37.000 But I'm old and this is my very first time voting for a Republican.

00:29:41.000 Awesome.

00:29:41.000 God bless you.

00:29:42.000 This is terrific.

00:29:44.000 Finally got on board.

00:29:45.000 So, well, now that I ponder this email, the only question I can think of is maybe, is Donald Trump a born-again Christian?

00:29:52.000 I don't expect an answer to that, but I hope he is.

00:29:54.000 Thank you very much, Tana.

00:29:56.000 Well, first of all, what an awesome question.

00:29:58.000 I'm so glad you're no longer a Democrat.

00:30:00.000 And I'm glad you're thinking for yourself.

00:30:02.000 And I do have great delight that you're voting for a Republican.

00:30:05.000 So God bless you.

00:30:06.000 I think that's such an important thing.

00:30:08.000 And it's not that voting Republican is the best thing in the world, but voting for Democrat is a really bad thing.

00:30:13.000 So the fact that you're not voting Democrat brings me a lot of joy voting for a million abortions a year, voting for protectors of child pedophilia, for letting 18,000 prisoners out of prison in California, grabbing our guns, shutting down small businesses.

00:30:27.000 That's something I don't think any person should vote for.

00:30:29.000 And quite honestly, is something I find so morally reprehensible and culturally questionable.

00:30:34.000 Is Donald Trump a born-again Christian?

00:30:36.000 I don't know, but I can tell you that he has a fondness and he has an openness for the word of God and for evangelicals and for Christians such as myself.

00:30:45.000 He treats me with such respect.

00:30:47.000 He treats Christians with so much respect.

00:30:49.000 He has done more to protect Christianity and the advancement of the kingdom of Jesus Christ more so than any other president in my lifetime.

00:30:57.000 And for that, he deserves so much credit.

00:31:00.000 Thank you so much for your question.

00:31:04.000 With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models of all the different cars, it's so impossible to stock all the parts you ever need.

00:31:11.000 If you guys ever go to try to get the parts you need, you're probably very intimidated talking to the person.

00:31:16.000 You don't know the parts.

00:31:18.000 They sometimes charge too much.

00:31:19.000 You might have a fiat.

00:31:20.000 You might have a Kia, Pacific, or X-T5.

00:31:22.000 Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.

00:31:27.000 But guess what?

00:31:28.000 That's why you have rock auto.

00:31:29.000 Rockautos.com's prices are the same for everybody and are reliably low.

00:31:34.000 Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible.

00:31:38.000 Rather than the changing prices based on what the market will bear, like airlines do.

00:31:42.000 Rockauto.com is a family business.

00:31:45.000 They serve auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:31:48.000 So go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

00:31:53.000 They have everything from engine control modules and brake parts to tail lamps, motor oil, and even new carpet.

00:31:59.000 Whether it's your new classic or daily driver, get everything you need in a few easy clicks delivered directly to your door.

00:32:06.000 Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low, and the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers.

00:32:11.000 Why spend up to twice as much for the same parts?

00:32:14.000 So, right now, go to rockauto.com, use the podcast name Charlie Kirk.

00:32:18.000 They have amazing selections, reliably low prices, and you know it.

00:32:22.000 All the parts you ever need, rockauto.com.

00:32:25.000 That's rockauto.com.

00:32:26.000 All the parts you ever need, rockauto.com.

00:32:32.000 Hi, Charlie Kirk.

00:32:33.000 If postmodernists believe that a conflict is a manifestation of a power imbalance between groups, can we as conservatives not dismiss this their viewpoint as a power grab masked as virtue?

00:32:44.000 Well, that is a very good question, Eli.

00:32:47.000 Thanks for taking the time to read this and for all the work you do.

00:32:50.000 Thank you so much.

00:32:51.000 Well, Eli, congratulations.

00:32:52.000 You win a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine.

00:32:54.000 That is a complex question that would take me about a half an hour to unpack, but I'll do the best I can.

00:32:59.000 So let's just walk through what Eli is asking here, not to get too high-level.

00:33:02.000 So postmodernism is a belief system, a philosophical school of thinking, theorized mostly by Marcuse and Jacques Derrida and Michelle Foucault.

00:33:13.000 If these names are all just spaghetti to you, that's fine.

00:33:16.000 We'll walk through that at a different episode of the Charlie Kirk show.

00:33:18.000 We've gone through it before, but repetition is the sole memory, and we'll dive into that at a different time.

00:33:22.000 But postmodernism is really a belief that there is no such thing as a meta-narrative in telling a story.

00:33:29.000 They believe in frame theory, that everyone has their own truth, that there's no such thing as truth.

00:33:35.000 The postmodernists believe all the only thing that really exists is power struggles.

00:33:40.000 So there's really not any sort of individual in society.

00:33:43.000 It's instead white people versus black people or women versus men or men versus women.

00:33:47.000 So everything is a manifestation of a power imbalance.

00:33:51.000 So his question is: since postmodernists believe that, can we as conservatives dismiss their viewpoints as a power grab masked as virtue?

00:34:02.000 Yes, Eli, home run.

00:34:04.000 What is Eli really saying is: can't we say to the left, all you're trying to do is get more power by saying that you are the virtuous ones?

00:34:15.000 Absolutely.

00:34:15.000 It invalidates the entire postmodernist movement, the entire postmodernist Marxist movement.

00:34:23.000 And there is some parallel between the two.

00:34:26.000 There's more harmony than I think some people on the left would say there is.

00:34:30.000 We last week had two atheists on our podcast that were very smart, James Lindsay and Peter Bogogian, who took a little exception with the intersection between postmodernism and Marxism.

00:34:42.000 We'll get into that at a different time.

00:34:43.000 But here's really what Eli is saying.

00:34:45.000 Let me make this more simple.

00:34:47.000 Can't we invalidate the wishes of the left by saying they want nothing but power but are trying to tell us how virtuous they are?

00:34:57.000 The answer is yes.

00:34:59.000 All the left wants is power.

00:35:02.000 The left wants more political power.

00:35:05.000 They want more cultural power.

00:35:07.000 They want more societal power.

00:35:09.000 This is what the Democrat Party wants.

00:35:11.000 This is what the Hollywood elites want.

00:35:14.000 And quite honestly, the thing that makes people that have power more angry than anything else is telling them they have limited power.

00:35:23.000 They hate this.

00:35:24.000 Jeff Bezos hates this.

00:35:26.000 The billionaire class hates this.

00:35:28.000 People that don't believe in God hate this.

00:35:30.000 They hate knowing that there actually might be something more powerful than them.

00:35:35.000 Drives them insane, drives them mad.

00:35:38.000 So, Eli, your question is very wise.

00:35:41.000 You're going to live a good life if you're already thinking this analytically.

00:35:44.000 Thank you so much for your question.

00:35:45.000 Next question: Hi, Charlie.

00:35:46.000 Thank you for all the content and what you have done for a beautiful country.

00:35:49.000 If you are in a conversation with a liberal and you need three to five quick bullet points why Trump deserves reelection, what would they be?

00:35:56.000 I'm looking for quick ways to prove that Trump will lead our country better than the radical left.

00:36:00.000 God bless Mason.

00:36:01.000 Number one, President Donald Trump represents a worldview to protect the United States of America.

00:36:08.000 Ask your friends: do you believe in the end of endless wars, freedom of speech and dialogue, and private property, and the normal American way of life?

00:36:15.000 President Donald Trump protects all of that.

00:36:17.000 Number two, President Donald Trump is a disruptor to a bipartisan cartel that was destroying our country for 40 years, and Joe Biden represents that mess.

00:36:26.000 Donald Trump is disrupting the status quo that Joe Biden created: of endless wars, of neoconservative foreign conflict, of a mediocre economy, of a destroyed middle class, of China appeasement, open borders, and declining middle-class wages.

00:36:42.000 Donald Trump is the only thing that has changed any of that.

00:36:46.000 Put all the style away.

00:36:47.000 Look at the substance.

00:36:48.000 The third thing that President Trump has done, he's actually brokering world peace.

00:36:53.000 This is the unbelievable accomplishment of President Trump in the last couple months while the media is just talking about the latest Bob Woodward story. 0.95

00:37:02.000 What a dumb story to be talking about, okay? 0.96

00:37:04.000 Or the latest Atlantic story. 0.99

00:37:06.000 Look, we have dived into both of them.

00:37:08.000 We've already basically disassembled them both.

00:37:11.000 Let's talk about real issues. 0.59

00:37:12.000 The fact that the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco have all normalized ties of Israel.

00:37:18.000 But do you know what's really interesting about the Israel issue?

00:37:21.000 Now that President Trump is literally brokering world peace and the impossible issue that Joe Biden, everywhere Joe Biden looked in the Middle East, we had a new war.

00:37:28.000 Syria, Libya, Afghanistan.

00:37:31.000 Joe Biden is a warmonger.

00:37:32.000 Donald Trump is a peacebroker.

00:37:34.000 Let's go a step deeper, though.

00:37:36.000 Let's go a level deeper just about the Israel issue.

00:37:38.000 Do you notice how as soon as Morocco says they want flights to Israel, it happens?

00:37:44.000 What does that tell you?

00:37:46.000 It tells you that Israel has been waiting for this. 0.71

00:37:49.000 It tells you that the thesis around Israel that I have been espousing for quite some time, that the great Dennis Prager has been saying, if the Arab countries put down their guns, we would have peace in the Middle East. 0.94

00:38:01.000 If Israel put down their guns, there would be no Israel. 0.92

00:38:05.000 And we're seeing that happen in real time. 0.91

00:38:07.000 That thesis statement that many of your college professors would tell you is incorrect, which is absolutely true, is that Israel has been seeking peace while the Arab world has been seeking conflict.

00:38:17.000 As soon as the Emirates, as soon as Morocco and Bahrain have said they want peace, we now have normalized relations, trade, and nonstop commercial flights. 0.81

00:38:26.000 This is a moral thing.

00:38:28.000 It's a good thing that the president is doing. 0.61

00:38:30.000 He is uniting the entire Middle East and Arab world against Iran. 1.00

00:38:35.000 Iran will collapse in the next decade, and Iran will collapse, and that's a good thing. 1.00

00:38:39.000 Not the people of Iran, they're very good people. 1.00

00:38:40.000 The Persian people are phenomenal, but the evil Iranian mullahs will collapse into chaos if President Trump is given four more years. 0.98

00:38:48.000 And the final bullet point, Mason, that I would give is that President Donald Trump is unafraid to tell you hard truths and not carefully crafted lies, unlike Joe Biden. 0.83

00:38:58.000 Joe Biden has now been put on defense.

00:39:00.000 Joe Biden has his entire campaign in retreat.

00:39:04.000 Joe Biden has changed his position on masks.

00:39:06.000 He said he supports a universal mask mandate, but he really doesn't now.

00:39:10.000 He said he wants to shut down the country and he's retreated from that.

00:39:13.000 He wants to shut down the country, but he has retreated from that.

00:39:16.000 He said he wants to ban fracking and now he has retreated from that.

00:39:20.000 He says he wants to close all the schools and now he says he kind of wants to open them.

00:39:23.000 No matter what the issue is, former Vice President Biden has retreated and has self-contradicted himself on that issue.

00:39:31.000 President Donald Trump has shown that Joe Biden is nothing more than an empty shell for the sinister, malevolent ideas.

00:39:37.000 The same ones that are passing SB 145 in California, defending cuties on Netflix, the same ones that are opening our borders, that are appeasing China, that want to take your guns.

00:39:48.000 That is who Joe Biden represents.

00:39:49.000 These are his allies.

00:39:51.000 And if any of your friends vote Democrat after all of this, challenge them.

00:39:55.000 Go straight up to them and say, are you okay with this?

00:39:58.000 Are you okay with California Democrats normalizing pedophilia?

00:40:02.000 Because that's what's happening.

00:40:04.000 And look it up yourself.

00:40:05.000 Do your own research.

00:40:06.000 Dive deep into it.

00:40:07.000 I've just read you the Los Angeles Times article.

00:40:10.000 This is more than an election, everybody.

00:40:13.000 If you know anyone that is voting for Joe Biden, they might have their own reasons, as misguided as that is.

00:40:20.000 But inform them.

00:40:21.000 Be relentless.

00:40:23.000 Keep the pressure on.

00:40:24.000 Be compassionate.

00:40:25.000 Don't be loud.

00:40:26.000 Don't insult people ever. 1.00

00:40:28.000 Do not engage in an hominin. 1.00

00:40:30.000 That is not what we do as conservatives. 1.00

00:40:31.000 We are decent.

00:40:32.000 We are reasonable.

00:40:33.000 We do not bully people.

00:40:34.000 We do not attack people.

00:40:35.000 We do not harass people.

00:40:37.000 But we will keep the pressure on and say, hey, come on.

00:40:39.000 You got to admit, President Trump getting Bahrain to open up flights to Israel.

00:40:43.000 That's a good thing.

00:40:43.000 Hey, come on.

00:40:44.000 President Trump ending the Afghan war. 1.00

00:40:46.000 That's a good thing. 1.00

00:40:47.000 Hey, come on.

00:40:47.000 You see the stock market steadily improving.

00:40:49.000 That's a good thing.

00:40:50.000 You see President Trump passing the first step back, the VA Accountability Act.

00:40:54.000 You see President Trump passing right to try.

00:40:57.000 You see President Trump standing up for middle-class workers, bringing steel, aluminum manufacturing back to our country, making America the drugstore of the world.

00:41:05.000 Come on, that's a good thing.

00:41:06.000 Do so lovingly and compassionately.

00:41:09.000 Do not raise your voice or else you'll lose the argument.

00:41:12.000 This is so important.

00:41:13.000 Do not lose faith.

00:41:14.000 And thank you, Mason, for that.
