00:01:49.000 Hey, everybody, happy Monday.
00:01:51.000 Hope you are doing well, and I hope you had a wonderful weekend enjoying the Super Bowl.
00:01:56.000 As always, on Mondays, we give you an Ask Me Anything episode brought to you by all of you that support us at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:02:04.000 So I want to thank you for supporting us.
00:02:06.000 And I want to get right into your questions.
00:02:08.000 The number one question that we got over the weekend was around my friend Mike Lindell and a documentary that he released over the last couple days called Absolute Proof.
00:02:19.000 So I have not watched the entire documentary.
00:02:21.000 I've been getting a lot of messages about it.
00:02:25.000 But I will say this.
00:02:26.000 Mike Lindell is a patriot.
00:02:28.000 Mike Lindell is a devout Christian, and he's someone that has always said what he believes.
00:02:35.000 And I believe he's a man of integrity and a man of honesty.
00:02:38.000 I've watched about the first 45 minutes of the documentary, a lot of which that was being discussed in the documentary are things that we talked about earlier in the Charlie Kirk show back in November and December when it came to voter registration, irregularity, signature requirements, and more.
00:02:54.000 There were other things that I would like to have more information, more data.
00:02:57.000 There were some interviews that were very interesting and somewhat compelling, but I would like to see some more evidence behind this idea that Iran and China directly interfered in the election.
00:03:09.000 Now, I'm not saying it's not true, nor am I saying it's 100% true, and it's not about Mike Lindell at all.
00:03:15.000 Instead, when you have a couple guests that come on and make some claims that the servers are stored overseas, which is something that the voting machine companies are now suing in court if you say that, I would like to just see some more evidence about it.
00:03:28.000 I'm open-minded.
00:03:29.000 I'm going to embrace my David Hume, but I will say this: Mike Lindell deserves credit for being relentless and having perseverance.
00:03:38.000 Mike Lindell is someone that is never afraid to take on the tough fights, and he is going to continue to have this very important conversation and discussion when it comes to voter integrity and finding out what happened in the 2020 election.
00:03:52.000 With that being said, I think that if you watch the Mike Lindell documentary, it is important to ask questions, not just say that this is enough evidence to overturn the election.
00:04:03.000 There was not enough evidence in that documentary to overturn the election.
00:04:07.000 You had a couple pieces of interviews and data that was mentioned in the first part of the documentary that was brought to you by the Armistad Project that is very much disputed by the Secretary of State's offices.
00:04:21.000 Now, is it possible the Secretary of State's offices are lying and misleading?
00:04:25.000 Of course.
00:04:26.000 However, a lot of what was presented in this documentary will be thrown out of a courtroom almost instantaneously.
00:04:32.000 So we're going to keep our eye on that.
00:04:34.000 But I know a lot of you are looking for ways to try and support Mike Lindell.
00:04:39.000 And I think that Mike Lindell is one of the most energetic and quite honestly honorable people I've ever met in my life.
00:04:46.000 He's always been someone that has said yes when I've asked him to speak at our events.
00:04:50.000 And it definitely took a lot of courage to produce this documentary.
00:04:53.000 And I refuse to say one word negative about Mike Lindell.
00:04:58.000 I might not say that everything in that documentary has been vetted thoroughly, and I will say that.
00:05:04.000 I'm not saying it's not true.
00:05:05.000 I'm just pushing back against some of the claims of the international servers because I've seen no evidence of that whatsoever, nor have I seen evidence that the servers are stored in Frankfurt, Germany with the Seidel raid.
00:05:18.000 With that being said, I'm not saying that they're wrong.
00:05:20.000 I'm just saying that I need more evidence to support that.
00:05:23.000 I am going to watch the documentary in its entirety.
00:05:28.000 However, I did just want to be very clear that I think Mike Lindell is an honorable person.
00:05:32.000 He is full of integrity.
00:05:34.000 I encourage you to check it out and watch it for yourself.
00:05:36.000 However, there is a need for more evidence and data behind some of the claims that were being made.
00:05:44.000 Not saying that they're not true, but in order for them to actually materialize in courts acting upon them, there's going to have to be some revealing of what happened in these machines.
00:05:55.000 Were they really tapped into the internet?
00:05:57.000 Were they actually going to foreign servers in Barcelona?
00:06:00.000 But I remain open-minded and willing to entertain any sort of factual and evidence-based discussion that occurs.
00:06:11.000 So if you guys want to check it out, I think it's at Mike Lindell's website.
00:06:15.000 And also, if you want to support Mike Lindell and if you believe that he's being courageous and you also want to support our show alongside of it, you can either go to mypillow.com, use the promo code Kirk when you check out.
00:06:26.000 All right, let's get to the next question here.
00:06:28.000 Hey, Charlie, Turning Point USA, you talk quite often about reforming higher education.
00:06:33.000 Do you think we should get rid of all higher education or should we just go to vocational schools?
00:06:36.000 Thanks so much, Carly from Indiana.
00:06:39.000 Well, Carly, congratulations.
00:06:40.000 You won a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine, and you emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com with your question, and you are selected.
00:06:47.000 Look, no, I do not believe that education, higher education, should be eliminated.
00:06:52.000 In fact, I think that in its ideal form, higher education is totally necessary for our country.
00:06:59.000 It has just digressed into indoctrination camps and training centers to create the next generation to be bitter and angry about the country they live in.
00:07:12.000 In fact, every person that graduates from college today should be getting a degree in ingratitude, because that is basically the underlying component of higher education.
00:07:22.000 College, which really means partnership, partnership between the students and the faculty, a partnership.
00:07:27.000 It goes back to its original, if you go back to its original Greek or Latin meaning, the word college comes from partnership.
00:07:33.000 It should be about creating students to be stronger, to be more alert, more aware, and to teach them how to be.
00:07:43.000 Hillsdale College does a great job with this.
00:07:45.000 I've talked about Hillsdale a lot.
00:07:47.000 In fact, I learned a lot from their Constitution 101 course online.
00:07:51.000 I encourage a lot of people to check it out.
00:07:53.000 However, Hillsdale is a rare exception.
00:07:57.000 Hillsdale is not how most colleges are across the country.
00:08:01.000 Most colleges are about pursuing a very perverted type of diversity, caring about how people look, not how people act.
00:08:11.000 Caring about what people look like, not how people think.
00:08:15.000 You see, college has become a place where they want everyone to look different but think the same.
00:08:22.000 College is supposed to be about a journey to get to the bottom of this, to pursue truth.
00:08:27.000 And how do you do that?
00:08:29.000 Well, people say quite often we are living in unprecedented times.
00:08:32.000 It's never been as bad as today. 0.95
00:08:35.000 People say that America's a racist, bigoted, homophobic country. 0.89
00:08:39.000 We're more racist today than we ever have been.
00:08:41.000 Well, you only know that if you study history.
00:08:44.000 History is both a reference point, a roadmap, a thermometer, a mirror, and a compass.
00:08:50.000 It tells you where you are in relation to things that came before you.
00:08:54.000 It lets you chart your path forward.
00:08:56.000 It lets you take the temperature of where you actually are right now.
00:09:00.000 You can look at yourself and say, am I really living up to standards of what it means to be a complete person, to live with character, and to live with integrity?
00:09:11.000 You see, the academy, higher education, does not do that anymore.
00:09:16.000 That is why I believe that college should be more about career preparation than ideological exploration with an asterisk.
00:09:22.000 If you can find a college that will actually teach you the classics, if you can teach a college that is affordable, that will actually allow you to explore these great ideas while also preparing you for a career, then that is what higher education should be.
00:09:35.000 But it isn't anymore.
00:09:37.000 In fact, I encourage people to now do that autodidactically.
00:09:41.000 The word autodidactic basically means self-taught.
00:09:45.000 You can go through online curriculums such as the Hillsdale online curriculum.
00:09:49.000 You can go through YouTube lectures.
00:09:51.000 You can study the great books.
00:09:52.000 You could study Plato or Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas because pursuing truth is the most important thing that you can do in a confused world.
00:10:02.000 Aristotle said there are two intellectual virtues: knowledge of the things that change, practical knowledge, stuff around you.
00:10:10.000 What's the capital of Indiana?
00:10:12.000 How large is Montana?
00:10:14.000 When was America founded?
00:10:16.000 That information is important, but that is practical knowledge.
00:10:19.000 But then Aristotle said the ultimate intellectual virtue is knowledge of things that never change.
00:10:26.000 Newtonian physics, the laws of nature, human nature.
00:10:31.000 Those are the things that are worth pursuing.
00:10:34.000 Wisdom is worth pursuing.
00:10:36.000 Now people say, how do you find wisdom?
00:10:38.000 Well, the reason why we consider people that are older to usually be wise is because wisdom is the reasoning of all things eternal.
00:10:48.000 It takes time.
00:10:49.000 Wisdom is not about how much information you know.
00:10:52.000 Wisdom is not about how many facts you are able to recite.
00:10:56.000 Wisdom is not about your ability to be able to recite the 95,000 different reasons why you think America is racist.
00:11:05.000 No, wisdom is the reasoning of things that do not change.
00:11:10.000 And that is the furnishing of the mind.
00:11:12.000 Now, that is not happening in most colleges across the country.
00:11:16.000 Most colleges do the exact opposite.
00:11:18.000 They don't spend any time on wisdom.
00:11:20.000 And the great expression, Dennis Prager says this often, is that without God, there is no wisdom.
00:11:26.000 They've removed God from the universities, therefore, there's no wisdom.
00:11:29.000 People say that men and women are exactly the same.
00:11:32.000 People say that borders do not matter. 0.99
00:11:34.000 America's a terrible, awful country.
00:11:36.000 And then you kind of get into a set of circumstances where without wisdom, you get into chaos.
00:11:44.000 And so, yes, I am in favor of a traditional small L liberal education.
00:11:49.000 I just can't find it in most schools.
00:11:51.000 Most schools, in fact, 99.9% of schools will not teach Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
00:11:57.000 Thomas Aquinas, David Hume, Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau in its correct framing, will not teach any of those things.
00:12:11.000 It'll not teach Thomas Hobbes.
00:12:13.000 It definitely won't teach Thomas Jefferson.
00:12:16.000 It won't teach James Madison, George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, James Monroe, Teddy Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan.
00:12:25.000 Instead, you'll learn about Jacques Derrida. 0.60
00:12:28.000 You'll learn about how bigoted, racist, and backwards America is. 0.70
00:12:33.000 That's no way to furnish the American mind.
00:12:36.000 In fact, that creates activists.
00:12:38.000 College in its ideal form should be about teaching people how to be, not what to destroy.
00:12:45.000 And that's where college has become.
00:12:47.000 Now, we try to nurture and foster that form of community at Turning Point USA.
00:12:52.000 And I encourage all of you to check it out at tpusa.com, tpusa.com, because there is so much beauty in the world to learn.
00:13:01.000 How to be, how do you act?
00:13:03.000 And that is something I tell young people all the time.
00:13:06.000 I say, worry a lot less about what kind of job you're going to get, and worry about how you are going to act, how you are going to be.
00:13:12.000 Worry about the things that are eternal.
00:13:14.000 The rest will sort itself out.
00:13:17.000 And yes, if you are going to go to college, you should go to college for a good reason.
00:13:21.000 If you're going to go to one of these liberal indoctrination camps, at least get a skill that you are able to use in the marketplace because they are not going to teach you how to be at a university.
00:13:34.000 Instead, they'll teach you the opposite, and you'll get no skill and a lot of debt as the only thing to show for it.
00:13:40.000 But yes, check out TurningPointUSA at tpusa.com.
00:13:43.000 Great question.
00:13:47.000 In our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.
00:13:49.000 At least it used to be.
00:13:50.000 At thinker.org, they summarize the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:13:58.000 Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, from old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
00:14:07.000 I learned something new every single day, which is a challenge that we have posed to you.
00:14:11.000 How do you learn something new every single day?
00:14:12.000 Well, if you want to challenge your preconceptions, expand your horizons, and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org.
00:14:18.000 That's thinkr.org.
00:14:20.000 Start a free trial today.
00:14:22.000 And then that's thinker.org.
00:14:26.000 Kent Henderson from Phoenix, congratulations, UN assigned copy of the MAGA doctrine, says, Charlie, when conservatives interview Alan Dershowitz, I always feel like there's an elephant in the room about which no one will speak.
00:14:36.000 It's the fact that he's still a Democrat.
00:14:38.000 I like Alan.
00:14:38.000 I know he's a wealth of knowledge that benefits people who get to hear him question on the issues.
00:14:42.000 But I can't help but wonder why nobody ever looks the man in the eyes and respectfully asks, Professor Dershowitz, given the changes of the Democrat Party in the last 10 to 15 years, and given your staunch defense of the Bill of Rights and our Constitution, how can you still be a Democrat today?
00:14:56.000 Were you tempted to ask this?
00:14:57.000 And if so, is there a specific reason you didn't?
00:14:59.000 Thanks for your work and God bless.
00:15:00.000 I responded to Kent and complimented him.
00:15:02.000 It is a great question.
00:15:04.000 In fact, good enough for me to answer it on air.
00:15:06.000 I probably should have asked that, but it wasn't really the topic of our conversation.
00:15:09.000 In fact, I encourage you to check out our conversation with Alan Dershowitz.
00:15:12.000 I believe it dropped on Thursday or Friday.
00:15:14.000 So check it out and make sure you're subscribed to the Charlie Kirk show while you do that.
00:15:18.000 But I will say this, Alan Dershowitz is a traditional liberal.
00:15:22.000 Alan Dershowitz believes diversity is about thoughts, values, the spirit, not about skin color.
00:15:31.000 Alan Dershowitz believes that markets are generally a force for good.
00:15:34.000 Alan Dershowitz believes in freedom of speech.
00:15:37.000 Alan Dershowitz is a civil libertarian.
00:15:40.000 In fact, he has done phenomenal work defending people when it comes to civil liberty issues.
00:15:44.000 Alan Dershowitz is not a leftist.
00:15:47.000 The Democrat Party more and more is being represented by leftists.
00:15:51.000 It's being represented by people that do not believe markets are a good way to solve problems.
00:15:56.000 They do not believe in civil liberties.
00:15:58.000 Instead, they believe in totalitarianism.
00:16:02.000 You see, when we study totalitarians, one of the things and one of the attributes that pops out is how they do not want opposing ideas to be spread.
00:16:13.000 You see, what's so amazing about speech, what's so amazing about learning, what's so amazing about words, if I could just be as simple as possible, is that speech can crumble a tyranny.
00:16:26.000 This is exactly why Xi Jinping, this is exactly why Benito Mussolini, why Stalin, they were always most worried about the writers, the authors, the dissonants.
00:16:36.000 They weren't as worried about the people that had weapons to use against them.
00:16:40.000 They always felt, I have a bigger gun, I have a bigger infantry or a bigger military, I'll be able to eliminate you.
00:16:46.000 No.
00:16:47.000 Dictators are afraid of words.
00:16:50.000 Alan Dershowitz respects this and believes in this.
00:16:54.000 Alan Dershowitz, in every single way, is someone that thinks that the more speech, the better.
00:17:00.000 Why he's still a Democrat, I don't know.
00:17:02.000 I don't think he actually is.
00:17:04.000 I think that he continues to identify as a Democrat because I think it actually gives him more credibility when he speaks out on many of these issues.
00:17:12.000 When he speaks out about the illegal impeachment coming after President Trump, as a Democrat who defended O.J. Simpson, as a Democrat who defended the Chicago 7, as a Democrat who speaks in favor of freedom of speech issues, he has more credibility.
00:17:28.000 At the same time, though, Alan Dershowitz has a lot of work to do within his own party.
00:17:32.000 The Democrat Party is no longer a party of free speech.
00:17:34.000 This is exactly why they had to remove people from Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
00:17:38.000 Understand this, that the right words can crumble a dictatorship in the matter of hours.
00:17:45.000 The right phrasing that might just immediately mesh with our spirit, mesh with our desire to be free.
00:17:53.000 The right words communicated clearly to the masses can crumble the Chinese Communist Party. 0.59
00:17:59.000 That is why America has relatively stayed free over the last couple hundred years, despite many attempts by different movements and authoritarians to take away our freedom and liberty.
00:18:10.000 As long as we can speak, then we can remain free.
00:18:14.000 Remember, there are two ways of governing people.
00:18:16.000 We talk about this quite a lot on our program, but it's one of the takeaways that I hope you tell people all the time.
00:18:24.000 And it's in some form or fashion of Charlie Kirk original.
00:18:26.000 I got this in one little element from Dr. Larry Arn from Hillsdale, but I kind of added to it, which is there are two ways to govern people.
00:18:34.000 You can govern them by force.
00:18:36.000 You can govern them by the military.
00:18:40.000 You can govern them by having a bigger stick or a bigger gun.
00:18:43.000 Or you can govern people using words.
00:18:46.000 You can govern people by persuasion.
00:18:49.000 You can govern people by winning them over.
00:18:53.000 You can win them over on values issues.
00:18:55.000 You can win them over on ideas.
00:18:56.000 So that is why Alan Dershowitz is such a committed defender to freedom of speech.
00:19:02.000 Alan Dershowitz understands, and I don't say this lightly, the existential threat that the suppression of ideas and speech poses to the United States of America.
00:19:12.000 And so we should continue to embrace people like Alan Dershowitz.
00:19:15.000 Alan Dershowitz was nice enough to come on our program.

00:20:04.000 Here's a question here from Sheila from Rhode Island.
00:20:07.000 Hey, Charlie, my professor at an unnamed university says Winston Churchill was one of the worst people of the 20th century.
00:20:15.000 How do I respond to this?
00:20:16.000 I know you're a big fan of Winston Churchill.
00:20:18.000 You speak about him quite often.
00:20:20.000 Was he really that bad?
00:20:22.000 Thanks so much, Sheila from Rhode Island.
00:20:24.000 Well, congratulations, Sheila, from Rhode Island.
00:20:26.000 You win a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine.
00:20:28.000 Secondly, you should get involved with TurningPointUSA, TPUSA.com.
00:20:32.000 Winston Churchill was one of the greatest human beings ever to live.
00:20:39.000 Immensely flawed, full of problems, but still one of the greatest people ever to live.
00:20:46.000 Winston Churchill became a hero for winning a war that he spent decades trying to prevent.
00:20:52.000 Churchill was a master of statesmanship.
00:20:55.000 Churchill wrote over 50 books.
00:20:57.000 I encourage you to go pick one of them.
00:20:59.000 Churchill served in almost every theater of war imaginable, from the Boer War to the Middle East to Africa to Afghanistan.
00:21:08.000 Winston Churchill stepped up courageously and with clarity when almost his entire civilization, the British Empire, wanted to surrender to the Nazis.
00:21:20.000 Winston Churchill won a Nobel Prize in literature.
00:21:23.000 Winston Churchill was always somebody that was pushing the United Kingdom or Britain to excellence.
00:21:34.000 But you see, Churchill was hated before he became prime minister, loved while he was prime minister, and hated after he became prime minister.
00:21:42.000 Winston Churchill called World War II the unnecessary war. 0.72
00:21:46.000 It's because Winston Churchill, for decades, about 10 years is probably a better way to say it, about 10 years, was warning about the threat of Nazi Germany. 0.62
00:21:57.000 He kept Britain together under relentless bombing of Germany.
00:22:06.000 Winston Churchill refused to surrender, famously saying, we shall never surrender. 0.58
00:22:11.000 You know how easy it would have been to be like Neville Chamberlain and go to peace talks with the Nazis?
00:22:18.000 Instead, Winston Churchill had an unbreakable strength, a commitment to this idea of Western civilization, of freedom of speech, religious liberty, founded on Christian virtues and values.
00:22:31.000 And he looked evil right in the eyes and he refused to surrender.
00:22:36.000 Because if he would have surrendered and they would have gone to peace talks, America very well might have been next and Europe might never have been reclaimed.
00:22:45.000 It might still be under perpetual totalitarian rule to this day.
00:22:52.000 But it was a small island nation, thanks to Winston Churchill, that stood up to this evil.
00:22:59.000 The first nation to do it.
00:23:01.000 France was divided.
00:23:03.000 There was a creation of a group of French military called the Vichy French that actually collaborated with the authoritarian, totalitarian, national socialist worker parties.
00:23:13.000 And Winston Churchill did everything he could to keep France in the war.
00:23:16.000 And he was left alone.
00:23:18.000 And the bombing of London nearly broke the entire country.
00:23:23.000 The Blitz is what they called it.
00:23:25.000 The Luftwaffe versus the British Expeditionary Air Force.
00:23:30.000 The Spitfires.
00:23:32.000 Dunkirk, the near obliteration of almost all British troops in France at the time.
00:23:39.000 They were able to be evacuated to Britain.
00:23:42.000 And then Pearl Harbor rolled around.
00:23:44.000 And as Pearl Harbor happened, Winston Churchill smiled and he said, This is the day we have won the war.
00:23:49.000 America will get involved.
00:23:51.000 Their industrial might will be activated. 0.51
00:23:53.000 And we will win this war.
00:23:56.000 It's easy to judge Churchill based on his negatives.
00:24:02.000 Some of the military interventions that he sponsored.
00:24:05.000 Some of the questionable decisions that he encouraged towards indigenous people.
00:24:11.000 I think all of that can happen in a spirited discussion.
00:24:17.000 And I'm not going to justify and I'm not going to apologize for any of that. 0.80
00:24:21.000 What I will say, though, is that the gift that Winston Churchill gave is your ability to remain free today and standing up to the authoritarian Holocaust.
00:24:33.000 The only reason it was interrupted was because of Winston Churchill.
00:24:37.000 If he would have acted like Neville Chamberlain and rolled over and surrendered, our entire planet would be in different set of circumstances.
00:24:49.000 Because of one guy who refused to surrender, rallied Britain together, walked the streets of London when it was full of rubble, death, blood, chaos, despair.
00:25:05.000 And he said very firmly, we shall never surrender.
00:25:09.000 In fact, let's play some tape right here.
00:25:11.000 Winston Churchill saying, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the streets, we shall fight on the hills.
00:25:17.000 One of the greatest pieces of historical audio out there.
00:25:22.000 I want you to think about this, how easy it would have been to go to peace terms, because the Nazis, they never wanted to fight Britain initially. 0.68
00:25:32.000 You see, Hitler wanted Paris.
00:25:37.000 He found it to be the cultural capital of Europe. 0.92
00:25:40.000 Going back further into history, Hitler was a racist. 0.85
00:25:44.000 He cared about skin color. 0.96
00:25:47.000 Hitler actually cared about what people looked like. 0.67
00:25:50.000 Hitler cared about where people came from.
00:25:52.000 And if you actually study the ancestry of the people of Britain and the people of Germany, they are the same bloodline.
00:25:59.000 That is why the people of England are typically called Anglo-Saxon.
00:26:03.000 Saxon, of course, being one of the regions of Germany near Bavaria.
00:26:08.000 So Hitler never considered Britain to be a primary concern, but as he realized Churchill was bringing troops into France to stop his expansion and Churchill wasn't going to surrender, he made him an enemy.
00:26:27.000 And then after the Nazis bombed London, Churchill then retaliated and bombed Berlin in an all-night bombing campaign halfway across Europe. 0.64
00:26:39.000 And as they say, the rest is history. 0.61
00:26:42.000 The Nazis would have preferred just to focus on Russia.
00:26:45.000 They considered the Kazakhs and the people of Russia to be racially inferior.
00:26:54.000 That was their concern.
00:26:55.000 The Soviet Union was always his greater concern, similar to Napoleon.
00:27:00.000 Got distracted with Churchill and pride took over. 0.75
00:27:04.000 And it wasn't quite honestly solved till the fall of Berlin.
00:27:08.000 But listen to this tape of Churchill.
00:27:10.000 Listen to the urgency in his voice.
00:27:14.000 It would have been so easy to give up.
00:27:16.000 Play tape.
00:27:17.000 We shall go on to the end.
00:27:19.000 We shall fight in France.
00:27:22.000 We shall fight on the seas and oceans.
00:27:25.000 We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.
00:27:31.000 We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.
00:27:35.000 We shall fight on the beaches.
00:27:37.000 We shall fight on the landing grounds.
00:27:40.000 We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
00:27:44.000 We shall fight in the hills.
00:27:46.000 We shall never surrender.
00:27:48.000 And if, because I do not for a moment believe this island or a large part of it was subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle until in God's good time, the new world with all its power and might step forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
00:28:18.000 So to finish your question, the man is a hero.
00:28:20.000 Statues should be built in his name, not being torn down.
00:28:26.000 Schools should be called the Winston Churchill Center for Higher Learning, the Winston Churchill Elementary School.
00:28:33.000 Instead, we're renaming them.
00:28:36.000 We're tearing it down, eliminating him from history.
00:28:39.000 Not just us, the United Kingdom is.
00:28:42.000 What an insult to a great man that truly is.
00:28:46.000 Next question from Jeff is talking about the Time magazine article.
00:28:51.000 Now, I think a lot of people that listened to our podcast the last couple days might have missed that episode.
00:28:56.000 So please go back just a couple episodes in addition to the Dershowitz episode and listen to our episode we did.
00:29:02.000 It's an hour-long episode.
00:29:03.000 We went into depth into the Time magazine article that was the shadow campaign that pulled off the 2020 election, and it's called How They Did It.
00:29:12.000 We posted it on Saturday morning.
00:29:14.000 So make sure you check it out, How They Did It, the conspiracy to defeat Donald Trump.
00:29:18.000 Make sure you check it out.
00:29:19.000 We're going to get to more questions here.
00:29:20.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:29:22.000 This question from Lenta, what happens after the election fraud is proven?
00:29:26.000 Well, Joe Biden is president.
00:29:28.000 There is no undoing that.
00:29:30.000 And even if we're able to prove election fraud in the courts, there will be almost no recourse or measure to undo Joe Biden being president of the United States.
00:29:39.000 To answer your question, I don't know.
00:29:41.000 I don't know what the steps forward are.
00:29:43.000 I do know that once the constitutional provisions are put in place and the Electoral College meets and it's certified and then it's recognized by the Congress on January the 6th, then those steps afterwards are unknown to me.
00:29:57.000 Then those steps afterwards are very clear.
00:29:59.000 Joe Biden becomes president.
00:30:01.000 And then after that, we do not know.
00:30:03.000 So thank you for your question, though.
00:30:04.000 Let's get to the next one here.
00:30:06.000 Here's a question from David.
00:30:07.000 Hey, Charlie, why don't they just give trans people their own league? 0.99
00:30:10.000 Let them compete against each other, seeing as how gender and biological differences don't matter. 0.90
00:30:14.000 They should have no problem playing against each other in all types of different sports.
00:30:17.000 I actually think it'd be pretty entertaining to watch, like hockey or basketball game with a bunch of guys and girls playing with each other could be interesting.
00:30:23.000 Well, David, you bring up a good point because we are seeing the death of female sports and women's sports in our country because of ideologues, because of people that are pathologically focused on not truth, not biology, but on politics and on feelings. 0.99
00:30:38.000 Why are more feminists not standing up for female sports?
00:30:42.000 Why are more feminists not standing up to the girl in the track meet that now has to compete against a guy? 1.00
00:30:50.000 There are high school athletes out there right now that are men that can beat the world record holder in the 100-meter dash. 1.00
00:30:59.000 That is the difference between men and women when it comes to physical competition.
00:31:06.000 Instead, we are not doing anything to protect these women's sports.
00:31:13.000 And so for local school districts, people say, well, Charlie, how do I get involved?
00:31:17.000 Run for school board under the one topic, under the one thing of men will not be allowed in women's locker rooms and men will not be allowed in female sports.
00:31:29.000 I actually think that's a much more popular position than the political correct tyrants allow you to believe. 0.95
00:31:36.000 I've been warning against this trans issue for quite some time. 0.98
00:31:40.000 I have a lot of videos on this topic that you can check out on our YouTube channel or on our Instagram feed. 0.99
00:31:47.000 Where I've been, I went to the University of Oregon and just opened up shop and started talking to liberals in the open quad at the University of Oregon.
00:31:57.000 You can watch that video in full where a young lady basically says, gender does not matter at all.
00:32:09.000 And to see the indoctrination that this young woman, and yes, I will call her a woman, despite her being resistant to any sort of gender terms, was stunning.
00:32:22.000 The opposite of the pursuit of truth, the opposite of the appreciation of how God made us. 0.94
00:32:28.000 So when you remove God, there is no wisdom.
00:32:30.000 When you remove God and you don't believe you're made in the image of God, then you will devolve into chaos.
