00:01:56.000As 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.
00:02:04.000So I want to thank you for supporting us.
00:02:06.000And I want to get right into your questions.
00:02:08.000The 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.
00:02:19.000So I have not watched the entire documentary.
00:02:21.000I've been getting a lot of messages about it.
00:02:28.000Mike Lindell is a devout Christian, and he's someone that has always said what he believes.
00:02:35.000And I believe he's a man of integrity and a man of honesty.
00:02:38.000I'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.
00:02:54.000There were other things that I would like to have more information, more data.
00:02:57.000There 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.
00:03:09.000Now, 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.
00:03:15.000Instead, 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.
00:03:29.000I'm going to embrace my David Hume, but I will say this: Mike Lindell deserves credit for being relentless and having perseverance.
00:03:38.000Mike 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.
00:03:52.000With 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.
00:04:03.000There was not enough evidence in that documentary to overturn the election.
00:04:07.000You 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.
00:04:21.000Now, is it possible the Secretary of State's offices are lying and misleading?
00:05:05.000I'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.
00:05:18.000With that being said, I'm not saying that they're wrong.
00:05:20.000I'm just saying that I need more evidence to support that.
00:05:23.000I am going to watch the documentary in its entirety.
00:05:28.000However, I did just want to be very clear that I think Mike Lindell is an honorable person.
00:05:34.000I encourage you to check it out and watch it for yourself.
00:05:36.000However, there is a need for more evidence and data behind some of the claims that were being made.
00:05:44.000Not 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.
00:05:55.000Were they really tapped into the internet?
00:05:57.000Were they actually going to foreign servers in Barcelona?
00:06:00.000But I remain open-minded and willing to entertain any sort of factual and evidence-based discussion that occurs.
00:06:11.000So if you guys want to check it out, I think it's at Mike Lindell's website.
00:06:15.000And 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.
00:06:26.000All right, let's get to the next question here.
00:06:28.000Hey, Charlie, Turning Point USA, you talk quite often about reforming higher education.
00:06:33.000Do you think we should get rid of all higher education or should we just go to vocational schools?
00:06:40.000You won a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine, and you emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com with your question, and you are selected.
00:06:47.000Look, no, I do not believe that education, higher education, should be eliminated.
00:06:52.000In fact, I think that in its ideal form, higher education is totally necessary for our country.
00:06:59.000It 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.
00:07:12.000In 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.
00:07:22.000College, which really means partnership, partnership between the students and the faculty, a partnership.
00:07:27.000It goes back to its original, if you go back to its original Greek or Latin meaning, the word college comes from partnership.
00:07:33.000It should be about creating students to be stronger, to be more alert, more aware, and to teach them how to be.
00:07:43.000Hillsdale College does a great job with this.
00:08:56.000It lets you take the temperature of where you actually are right now.
00:09:00.000You 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?
00:09:11.000You see, the academy, higher education, does not do that anymore.
00:09:16.000That is why I believe that college should be more about career preparation than ideological exploration with an asterisk.
00:09:22.000If 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.
00:09:52.000You could study Plato or Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas because pursuing truth is the most important thing that you can do in a confused world.
00:10:02.000Aristotle said there are two intellectual virtues: knowledge of the things that change, practical knowledge, stuff around you.
00:11:51.000Most schools, in fact, 99.9% of schools will not teach Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
00:11:57.000Thomas 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.
00:12:13.000It definitely won't teach Thomas Jefferson.
00:12:16.000It won't teach James Madison, George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, James Monroe, Teddy Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan.
00:12:25.000Instead, you'll learn about Jacques Derrida.
00:12:28.000You'll learn about how bigoted, racist, and backwards America is.
00:12:33.000That's no way to furnish the American mind.
00:13:17.000And yes, if you are going to go to college, you should go to college for a good reason.
00:13:21.000If 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.
00:13:34.000Instead, 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.
00:13:40.000But yes, check out TurningPointUSA at tpusa.com.
00:13:50.000At 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.
00:13:58.000Read 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.
00:14:07.000I learned something new every single day, which is a challenge that we have posed to you.
00:14:11.000How do you learn something new every single day?
00:14:12.000Well, if you want to challenge your preconceptions, expand your horizons, and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org.
00:14:26.000Kent 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.
00:14:36.000It's the fact that he's still a Democrat.
00:14:38.000I know he's a wealth of knowledge that benefits people who get to hear him question on the issues.
00:14:42.000But 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?
00:15:47.000The Democrat Party more and more is being represented by leftists.
00:15:51.000It's being represented by people that do not believe markets are a good way to solve problems.
00:15:56.000They do not believe in civil liberties.
00:15:58.000Instead, they believe in totalitarianism.
00:16:02.000You 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.
00:16:13.000You 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.
00:16:26.000This 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.
00:16:36.000They weren't as worried about the people that had weapons to use against them.
00:16:40.000They always felt, I have a bigger gun, I have a bigger infantry or a bigger military, I'll be able to eliminate you.
00:17:04.000I 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.
00:17:12.000When 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.
00:17:28.000At the same time, though, Alan Dershowitz has a lot of work to do within his own party.
00:17:32.000The Democrat Party is no longer a party of free speech.
00:17:34.000This is exactly why they had to remove people from Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
00:17:38.000Understand this, that the right words can crumble a dictatorship in the matter of hours.
00:17:45.000The right phrasing that might just immediately mesh with our spirit, mesh with our desire to be free.
00:17:53.000The right words communicated clearly to the masses can crumble the Chinese Communist Party.
00:17:59.000That 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.
00:18:10.000As long as we can speak, then we can remain free.
00:18:14.000Remember, there are two ways of governing people.
00:18:16.000We 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.
00:18:24.000And it's in some form or fashion of Charlie Kirk original.
00:18:26.000I 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.
00:18:56.000So that is why Alan Dershowitz is such a committed defender to freedom of speech.
00:19:02.000Alan 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.
00:19:12.000And so we should continue to embrace people like Alan Dershowitz.
00:19:15.000Alan Dershowitz was nice enough to come on our program.
00:19:18.000In fact, again, I encourage you to go download that episode.
00:19:20.000You will learn a lot about the Constitution.
00:20:57.000I encourage you to go pick one of them.
00:20:59.000Churchill served in almost every theater of war imaginable, from the Boer War to the Middle East to Africa to Afghanistan.
00:21:08.000Winston Churchill stepped up courageously and with clarity when almost his entire civilization, the British Empire, wanted to surrender to the Nazis.
00:21:20.000Winston Churchill won a Nobel Prize in literature.
00:21:23.000Winston Churchill was always somebody that was pushing the United Kingdom or Britain to excellence.
00:21:34.000But you see, Churchill was hated before he became prime minister, loved while he was prime minister, and hated after he became prime minister.
00:21:42.000Winston Churchill called World War II the unnecessary war.
00:21:46.000It'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.
00:21:57.000He kept Britain together under relentless bombing of Germany.
00:22:06.000Winston Churchill refused to surrender, famously saying, we shall never surrender.
00:22:11.000You know how easy it would have been to be like Neville Chamberlain and go to peace talks with the Nazis?
00:22:18.000Instead, 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.
00:22:31.000And he looked evil right in the eyes and he refused to surrender.
00:22:36.000Because 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.
00:22:45.000It might still be under perpetual totalitarian rule to this day.
00:22:52.000But it was a small island nation, thanks to Winston Churchill, that stood up to this evil.
00:23:03.000There was a creation of a group of French military called the Vichy French that actually collaborated with the authoritarian, totalitarian, national socialist worker parties.
00:23:13.000And Winston Churchill did everything he could to keep France in the war.
00:23:56.000It's easy to judge Churchill based on his negatives.
00:24:02.000Some of the military interventions that he sponsored.
00:24:05.000Some of the questionable decisions that he encouraged towards indigenous people.
00:24:11.000I think all of that can happen in a spirited discussion.
00:24:17.000And I'm not going to justify and I'm not going to apologize for any of that.
00:24:21.000What 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.
00:24:33.000The only reason it was interrupted was because of Winston Churchill.
00:24:37.000If he would have acted like Neville Chamberlain and rolled over and surrendered, our entire planet would be in different set of circumstances.
00:24:49.000Because 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.
00:25:05.000And he said very firmly, we shall never surrender.
00:25:09.000In fact, let's play some tape right here.
00:25:11.000Winston Churchill saying, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the streets, we shall fight on the hills.
00:25:17.000One of the greatest pieces of historical audio out there.
00:25:22.000I 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.
00:25:47.000Hitler actually cared about what people looked like.
00:25:50.000Hitler cared about where people came from.
00:25:52.000And if you actually study the ancestry of the people of Britain and the people of Germany, they are the same bloodline.
00:25:59.000That is why the people of England are typically called Anglo-Saxon.
00:26:03.000Saxon, of course, being one of the regions of Germany near Bavaria.
00:26:08.000So 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.
00:26:27.000And then after the Nazis bombed London, Churchill then retaliated and bombed Berlin in an all-night bombing campaign halfway across Europe.
00:27:48.000And 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.
00:28:18.000So to finish your question, the man is a hero.
00:28:20.000Statues should be built in his name, not being torn down.
00:28:26.000Schools should be called the Winston Churchill Center for Higher Learning, the Winston Churchill Elementary School.
00:29:03.000We 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.
00:29:30.000And 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.
00:29:39.000To answer your question, I don't know.
00:29:41.000I don't know what the steps forward are.
00:29:43.000I 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.
00:29:57.000Then those steps afterwards are very clear.
00:30:07.000Hey, Charlie, why don't they just give trans people their own league?
00:30:10.000Let them compete against each other, seeing as how gender and biological differences don't matter.
00:30:14.000They should have no problem playing against each other in all types of different sports.
00:30:17.000I 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.
00:30:23.000Well, 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.
00:30:38.000Why are more feminists not standing up for female sports?
00:30:42.000Why are more feminists not standing up to the girl in the track meet that now has to compete against a guy?
00:30:50.000There are high school athletes out there right now that are men that can beat the world record holder in the 100-meter dash.
00:30:59.000That is the difference between men and women when it comes to physical competition.
00:31:06.000Instead, we are not doing anything to protect these women's sports.
00:31:13.000And so for local school districts, people say, well, Charlie, how do I get involved?
00:31:17.000Run 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.
00:31:29.000I actually think that's a much more popular position than the political correct tyrants allow you to believe.
00:31:36.000I've been warning against this trans issue for quite some time.
00:31:40.000I have a lot of videos on this topic that you can check out on our YouTube channel or on our Instagram feed.
00:31:47.000Where 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.
00:31:57.000You can watch that video in full where a young lady basically says, gender does not matter at all.
00:32:09.000And 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.
00:32:22.000The opposite of the pursuit of truth, the opposite of the appreciation of how God made us.
00:32:28.000So when you remove God, there is no wisdom.
00:32:30.000When you remove God and you don't believe you're made in the image of God, then you will devolve into chaos.
