00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, happy Monday.
00:00:01.000 I take your questions here on Ask Me Anything episode.
00:00:04.000 Should we get behind Caitlin Jenner for governor?
00:00:06.000 What are my thoughts on that?
00:00:08.000 What is really driving the left in this country?
00:00:11.000 Who killed Ashley Babbitt?
00:00:14.000 That and so much more.
00:00:15.000 Email us your thoughts.
00:00:16.000 This Ask Me Anything episode.
00:00:18.000 If you want to support our program and if you like what we are saying and you want to reach more young people and you just say to myself, I can't take this anymore.
00:00:24.000 I want to be part of a movement to help save the country.
00:00:26.000 Well, you can do that at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:30.000 If you want to come to our Young Women's Leadership Summit in Dallas, Texas in June, go to tpusa.com.
00:00:37.000 That's tpusa.com.
00:00:40.000 If you want to support our program, go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:43.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:44.000 Here we go.
00:00:46.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:47.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:49.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:53.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:56.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:57.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:58.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:07.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:15.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:18.000 Okay, I'm getting lots of questions about Bruce Jenner, who is running for office.
00:01:25.000 I actually have met Caitlin Bruce, whatever.
00:01:29.000 Very nice person, I have to say.
00:01:31.000 And people are saying, well, Charlie, what do you think about Caitlin Bruce running for office?
00:01:38.000 I'm not a fan.
00:01:40.000 I'm not a fan of someone who is currently suffering, and I use that word intentionally, suffering from gender dysphoria being in the Republican Party.
00:01:54.000 That's not to say that we have to be a jerk about it.
00:01:56.000 That's not to say we can't have compassion and dialogue.
00:01:58.000 In fact, I'd be happy to have Caitlin Bruce on this program and talk about it.
00:02:04.000 In fact, I've actually been talking to someone on their team about that, but I'm going to be very clear that I believe that there are two genders, and I believe transgenderism is not something that should be widely accepted as if it's a lifestyle.
00:02:19.000 I think that if you are suffering from gender dysphoria, I really hope you seek healing and help.
00:02:25.000 I do not think you should be a leader of our party, especially the governor of California.
00:02:31.000 And this is a tough question for some people because I don't want to be called intolerant or mean names.
00:02:35.000 I really don't care.
00:02:36.000 I don't.
00:02:38.000 And I'm going to tell you very clearly that if the Republican Party is not going to stand for original design, then what are we going to stand for?
00:02:47.000 God gave you chromosomes.
00:02:48.000 And if you don't believe in God, someone gave you chromosomes.
00:02:52.000 Luck of the draw.
00:02:53.000 I guess the craps table did.
00:02:55.000 XX and XY.
00:02:58.000 And I believe anyone who's in a position of authority and leadership that plays into this gender dysphoria, I can choose my own identity against scientific design.
00:03:11.000 I think the Republican Party exists to stand in opposition to that.
00:03:15.000 And the Republican Party should say, no, we actually take great exception to this idea of it.
00:03:22.000 Again, I think it's how we communicate it.
00:03:24.000 We don't have to be a jerk.
00:03:25.000 I think that Caitlin's a nice enough person.
00:03:29.000 Okay.
00:03:32.000 However, we're talking about someone who is running for political office.
00:03:36.000 And when that person runs for political office, it is a question of does that person share my values?
00:03:43.000 Is that person going to fight when it matters?
00:03:46.000 And some people say, well, it's California.
00:03:48.000 What difference does that make?
00:03:49.000 Okay, look, it's a state with like 42 million people.
00:03:52.000 I think you can find another candidate.
00:03:55.000 And so People ask all the time, well, Charlie, where did we draw the line?
00:04:00.000 This is me drawing the line.
00:04:04.000 I am drawing the line and saying that a transgender person should not be running for office in the Republican Party.
00:04:13.000 Shouldn't be happening.
00:04:14.000 Not going to get my support.
00:04:16.000 And for a variety of different reasons.
00:04:18.000 And as we are seeing a continual moral decline in America, where children are being preyed upon for chemical castration, at this point, I say no more.
00:04:41.000 So anyway, I'm sure that's going to get written up all over the place.
00:04:44.000 And I'd love to discuss that with all of you.
00:04:46.000 I'd love to get your thoughts.
00:04:46.000 Freedom at charliekirk.com and be happy to discuss that with Bruce Caitlin.
00:04:55.000 Caitlin Bruce.
00:04:58.000 The transgender issue is not one to take lightly.
00:05:05.000 And I don't.
00:05:06.000 Okay, let's get to the next question here.
00:05:08.000 Hey, Charlie, I just want to, I found your show today.
00:05:10.000 It's interesting how the people behind movements such as BLM even deceive their own followers and through everyone else.
00:05:15.000 I found it fascinating how you have unraveled the theory that the swamp wants a national police force.
00:05:20.000 I live in the United Kingdom, and I find it so sad to see how the United States seems to follow every bad move, idea, or institution that the United Kingdom makes.
00:05:27.000 For example, we've had a border crisis ever since Germany have let in 2 million migrants.
00:05:31.000 Now America has a border crisis.
00:05:32.000 It's illegal to have any self-defense weapon in the United Kingdom.
00:05:35.000 The United States is trying to make this happen as well.
00:05:37.000 We have an infiltrated justice system with no due process, no just courts, and America seems to be headed down the same route.
00:05:42.000 Continues to go on.
00:05:43.000 Thank you, Zach, so much.
00:05:44.000 Look, the attack on the rule of law is fundamental.
00:05:49.000 We must have agreed upon laws.
00:05:52.000 The more voluminous the laws, the quicker we're going to get into anarcho-tyranny.
00:05:56.000 Cut 104.
00:05:57.000 You see, Elon Omar, I just want you to hear this for yourself, and we're going to walk through this together.
00:06:02.000 Play Elon Omar.
00:06:04.000 Most of us in this room, including myself, look at you as a guardian and are blessed to be in your presence.
00:06:14.000 And may Dante Wright serve as a guardian for all of us.
00:06:19.000 So that's Elon Omar saying that Dante Wright is a guardian for all of us.
00:06:27.000 The man who had a warrant out for his arrest.
00:06:31.000 Is that correct?
00:06:32.000 Can I say that, Connor?
00:06:33.000 Warrant out for his arrest?
00:06:34.000 What was it for?
00:06:35.000 It was for a weapons charge?
00:06:36.000 I got this technically incorrect in a Facebook video I did.
00:06:40.000 And you're like, oh, no, it wasn't for aggravated robbery.
00:06:42.000 It was for a warrant.
00:06:43.000 I mean, give me a break, okay?
00:06:45.000 The guy was a criminal.
00:06:46.000 Resisted arrest.
00:06:47.000 And Elon Omar is saying, well, we must almost eulogize him is basically what she's doing.
00:06:56.000 The attack on the rule of law is fundamental to the end of civil society.
00:07:02.000 It is.
00:07:03.000 If we do not have agreed upon public laws, then we will get to a place where Cicero warned us: the more laws, the less justice.
00:07:22.000 The more laws, the less likely we will be able to have a civil and decent society, because then all that will matter is who's enforcing them.
00:07:33.000 That's all that's going to matter.
00:07:34.000 It's not going to matter what the laws actually are.
00:07:36.000 It's going to matter who are the ones that could decide which ones actually get to be enforced.
00:07:41.000 Hey, Charlie, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all you've done for college students.
00:07:44.000 I go to a public college in California.
00:07:46.000 I have to remain silent about my political views for my own safety.
00:07:49.000 I discovered you last year in January, and your videos of you roasting idiots have been such a joy to watch.
00:07:53.000 I constantly feel like California is so bad and so corrupt that we are beyond help, and it makes me nervous.
00:07:58.000 I do feel like there are many pockets of closet conservatives throughout the state, but the overwhelming corruption dictatorship of Gavin Newsom has really made me panic.
00:08:04.000 What can you say about the recall and what can you say about the hope of California pulling out its communist regime?
00:08:09.000 Well, that is similar to the other question I asked.
00:08:13.000 Look, I love the fact that California conservatives are playing offense.
00:08:17.000 I'm a big believer that if we do not play offense against the left at this time, the country is going to be lost.
00:08:23.000 That every Californian listening to this has to get involved in the recall race in one way or the other, whether it be knocking on doors or mobilizing other people towards this.
00:08:33.000 That Gavin Newsom is worried.
00:08:34.000 Gavin Newsom is nervous that he might lose a recall effort.
00:08:38.000 That we need an aggressive, grassroots, robust push politically and peacefully, obviously, to try and hold our leaders accountable.
00:08:49.000 Isn't it a positive thing that we have a recall mechanism at all?
00:08:53.000 It's a positive thing that people are able to step up, collect signatures peacefully, and hold someone in a position of power accountable.
00:09:06.000 That is a healthy thing for a republic.
00:09:09.000 It's healthy to be able to have elections, to be able to have a check and a balance.
00:09:18.000 What makes our system different is this idea of the consent of the governed.
00:09:22.000 Is that if that promise, if that compact is broken and it's shattered, then what good is our government?
00:09:32.000 We deserve better than the leaders we have in charge and both parties.
00:09:35.000 I think we all agree with that.
00:09:36.000 California is the worst of it.
00:09:38.000 The lockdowns in California have played a dramatic toll on the humanity and the soul and the spirit of our country and our nation.
00:09:48.000 So Gavin Newsom has to pay a political price for that.
00:09:51.000 Gavin Newsom has to pay a political price for what he has done for business owners and families in the state of California.
00:10:01.000 And that is why I'm so encouraged and hopeful at this robust, organic grassroots push to hold Gavin Newsome accountable.
00:10:08.000 I love all of it.
00:10:10.000 And I don't know if it'll succeed or not, but it's actually not about winning.
00:10:14.000 It's about building the movement and getting these ideas out there.
00:10:19.000 Did you know that 80% of the grass-fed beef sold in the United States is imported from overseas?
00:10:23.000 It's staggering.
00:10:24.000 That's why I get my meat from goodranchers.com because their product is 100% American.

00:11:36.000 We just got a question from David.
00:11:37.000 And by the way, if I take your question, you win a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine.
00:11:41.000 So email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:11:43.000 He says, I don't know if you are allowed to, but I wish you would look into the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed the protester on January 6th.
00:11:49.000 I'm hearing a lot of things about him.
00:11:50.000 I don't know if it's true, but I think you could find out.
00:11:52.000 I don't know anything about him.
00:11:53.000 Who killed Ashley Babbitt?
00:11:54.000 Who killed Ashley Babbitt?
00:11:57.000 Anyone?
00:11:58.000 Bueller?
00:11:59.000 You had Ashley Babbitt, who is a veteran from California, who was in the Capitol building.
00:12:05.000 She shouldn't have been there.
00:12:06.000 That does not mean she should have been shot.
00:12:08.000 Who, according to the only video we have, she popped her head up and then bang, an inexcusable discharge of a weapon.
00:12:20.000 And again, we do not have a position here on this program to always defend police officers.
00:12:24.000 That is not our position.
00:12:25.000 There are some bad police officers out there.
00:12:28.000 In fact, almost all police officers want the bad ones removed because they give them a bad name.
00:12:32.000 In fact, producer Andrew sent us a video of a really bad police officer recently.
00:12:37.000 And so the question is: why do we have this very public anti-police conversation happening in our country?
00:12:49.000 Yet the left was perfectly fine with Ashley Babbitt getting killed.
00:12:54.000 Like all incidents, I try to look into the facts and the circumstances of the matter.
00:12:59.000 But she was actually unarmed.
00:13:01.000 She wasn't knife-wielding attempted murderer.
00:13:05.000 She wasn't fleeing arrest like Dante Wright.
00:13:10.000 So we need some answers here, and it's been announced that the police officer is not going to face any charges.
00:13:16.000 That's a little weird.
00:13:19.000 But at least who did it?
00:13:21.000 We know the name of every police officer that has done anything in like 24 hours or less.
00:13:28.000 This goes to my thesis that I articulated in a previous episode.
00:13:33.000 They want a national police force.
00:13:37.000 If Elon Omar and Ayana Presley actually cared about police abuse, they'd speak out against the murder, the death of Ashley Babbitt.
00:13:49.000 But instead, they're quiet because the police acted on their behalf in that situation.
00:13:56.000 Let's get to the next question here.
00:13:59.000 Hey, Charlie, I've emailed you a few times before, but in case you didn't see it, I'm almost 21 years old and I'm marrying my wonderful fiancé in July.
00:14:06.000 Awesome.
00:14:07.000 We listen to you all the time and love your show.
00:14:09.000 I'll send you two books as a wedding gift from the Charlie Kirk show.
00:14:12.000 Getting married's a good thing.
00:14:15.000 We're excited to raise a family in the future and we're strongly considering homeschooling.
00:14:18.000 Good.
00:14:19.000 We're a bit anxious about the future of the freedom of homeschool when we are ready.
00:14:22.000 How do you think parents should approach education?
00:14:25.000 And do you think there could ever be some sort of a ban on non-public education?
00:14:29.000 No one will ever teach our children that they're racist just for existing, and we want our children to be wise.
00:14:34.000 You guys are going to be great parents.
00:14:36.000 Thanks for everything you do.
00:14:39.000 I am still able to access your podcast.
00:14:43.000 Proof attached of my subscription, Land and Sea.
00:14:48.000 So how do you teach wisdom to children?
00:14:51.000 It's a great question.
00:14:53.000 You teach wisdom to children by getting them to think.
00:14:57.000 And remember, wisdom is the knowledge of things that never change.
00:15:00.000 There are two types of knowledge: there's practical knowledge and eternal knowledge.
00:15:04.000 Practical knowledge is what's the capital of Ohio?
00:15:07.000 What is who's the governor of Indiana?
00:15:10.000 Eternal knowledge is how human beings act.
00:15:13.000 It's the laws of nature and of nature's God.
00:15:17.000 Eternal knowledge is the knowledge of the world around us.
00:15:20.000 That knowledge is much more important than practical knowledge.
00:15:23.000 One of the reasons why our colleges have become so devoid of wisdom is because they do not focus on eternal knowledge because they actually don't think that there are things that never change.
00:15:35.000 They think that everything can change.
00:15:37.000 They think just like how we can get a new governor of Indiana, we could change the way human beings operate and work and act.
00:15:42.000 They believe human behavior is malleable.
00:15:45.000 We believe human behavior and human nature is constant.
00:15:50.000 We believe that you must build good people and create good people through developing character, which comes from the Greek word tattoo or imprint or tattooed within you.
00:16:02.000 And then it takes a lot of practice, which actually comes from a Greek word praxis, which is the act of doing something good for the betterment of your soul and your spirit.
00:16:13.000 The fact you're even exploring these ideas is very important.
00:16:16.000 So how do you do that?
00:16:17.000 Homeschooling, if you can do it, is the best way.
00:16:19.000 It really is.
00:16:20.000 We need to double our homeschooling population in our country quickly.
00:16:24.000 Private school, if you can afford it.
00:16:25.000 I went to public school.
00:16:26.000 I ended up okay, but I had really good mentors in my local area, and I was also trying to pursue wisdom.
00:16:33.000 But government-run schools are becoming an untenable option very quickly in our country.
00:16:38.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:16:42.000 So have you ever browsed in incognito mode?
00:16:45.000 It's probably not as incognito as you think.
00:16:47.000 And why would it be?
00:16:48.000 Incognito mode, like the Chrome browser itself is a Google product, and Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online.
00:16:54.000 There's even a $5 billion class action lawsuit against the company in California, where it's accused of secretly collecting user data.
00:17:00.000 Google's defense, incognito, does not mean invisible.
00:17:03.000 So how do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online, ExpressVPN?
00:17:07.000 Turns out that even in incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked.
00:17:11.000 And data brokers still get to buy and sell your data.
00:17:14.000 One of these data points is in your IP address.
00:17:17.000 Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location, but with ExpressVPN, your connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and your IP address is masked.
00:17:25.000 Every time you connect to ExpressVPN, you get a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers that makes it harder for third parties to identify you or harvest your data.
00:17:34.000 Best of all, ExpressVPN is super easy to use no matter what device you're on, phone, laptop, or smart TV.
00:17:39.000 All you have to do is tap one button for instant protection.
00:17:41.000 So if you really want to go incognito and protect your privacy, secure yourself with the number one rated VPN.
00:17:46.000 Visit expressvpn.com slash Charlie.
00:17:48.000 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-PN.com slash Charlie, expressvpn.com slash Charlie.
00:17:54.000 Just dealing with this nonsense of all these events that might be canceled in a certain state because 700 terrorists are threatening to show up because I want to go speak at a church about liberty.
00:18:05.000 No, this is actually what's happening right now.
00:18:07.000 So I'm dealing with this nonsense right now.
00:18:10.000 It's where we're at right now.
00:18:12.000 Human behavior, public gatherings, jury verdicts are now all in the hands of street thugs, terrorists that get what they want.
00:18:22.000 That's where we're at.
00:18:24.000 So I might not go visit a state, a certain state in the Pacific Northwest, because both of the events are being threatened by 700 or 800 terrorists.
00:18:34.000 The church that I was going to speak at are very worried because they've had their houses vandalized and people followed through the streets and the police do not have the capacity to defend the church and the National Guard is not going to get called in.
00:18:47.000 The governor is unwilling to do that.
00:18:48.000 So the event might get canceled.
00:18:50.000 How can you be free if you don't have public safety?
00:18:55.000 It's a really interesting question, isn't it?
00:18:59.000 How can I have the right to speak if the host of who's going to have me is afraid that their church is going to burn down?
00:19:07.000 That's something to think about.
00:19:08.000 Okay, let's get right here.
00:19:11.000 Kevin, congratulations, you won a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine.
00:19:14.000 Hey, Charlie, I'm a regular listener to your show.
00:19:16.000 When are you going to speak about what's going on in Arizona?
00:19:18.000 The forensic hand audit is happening on 2 million ballots.
00:19:22.000 We have to fix elections.
00:19:23.000 Would you say this is a start?
00:19:24.000 Okay, here's what's happening.
00:19:25.000 The audit that's happening in Arizona is a full hand count of 2.1 million ballots cast in the November 2020 general election, along with an analysis of voter information and an audit of the county's voting technology.
00:19:39.000 It started this week and will culminate with a report to be issued in about 60 days.
00:19:43.000 In all, the county will provide nearly 2.1 million ballots and 385 ballot tabulators and nine larger central count ballot tabulators along with other hardware.
00:19:52.000 That's in addition to 11 gigabytes of data that include various information and documents such as voter registration information and election day logs.
00:20:02.000 Part one, the hand recount.
00:20:04.000 The Senate plans to hand count certain votes on 2.1 million ballots cast in the election.
00:20:09.000 Votes for all 10 federal races, including the presidential, senate, and eight congressional contests, will be examined.
00:20:16.000 The work is being done by Wake Technology Services, which has hired staff to do the actual counting of ballots.
00:20:22.000 The hand count, which was originally scheduled to begin on Thursday, and Cyber Ninjas has estimated will take 20 days.
00:20:29.000 More details of the procedures for the hand count should be released Thursday night.
00:20:34.000 It is unclear how many people Wake will hire to do this work.
00:20:37.000 Election audit experts have said that hand counting this many races on this many ballots will take longer than 20 days if it's done right.
00:20:44.000 Observers are allowed, but the Senate has said it will make sure that there is equal representation from all political parties.
00:20:51.000 The auditors will attempt to validate the legitimacy of voter rolls.
00:20:55.000 Not much information was released about how this will happen.
00:20:59.000 So who's doing this?
00:21:00.000 It's unclear.
00:21:01.000 Cyber Ninja's report says that it will be done by a quote registration and vote cast system team that has been done non-party, nonpartisan canvassing before.
00:21:10.000 A grassroots group organized by Liz Harris, who I know, she's a good person, may have already completed this work.
00:21:16.000 They have knocked on doors for months in Arizona to attempt to verify voter information.
00:21:20.000 This will happen.
00:21:21.000 It will take about 20 days.
00:21:23.000 And the report states that auditors will use the information to find invalid voters, such as deceased voters and non-citizens, and find people whose votes weren't counted.
00:21:33.000 It's unclear where the Senate will get its information to verify that voters from.
00:21:37.000 Part three is reviewing electronic voting systems.
00:21:42.000 The auditors plan to examine the county's voting machines and review logs and systems files to see whether the machines were manipulated or hacked during the election.
00:21:51.000 This is something that the county's independent audit report already did and found that the machines were not tampered with.
00:21:57.000 CYFIR, a digital security company based in Ashburn, Virginia, was hired for part of this audit.
00:22:04.000 The analysis work will be performed by Cyber Ninjas, an additional number of analysts, according to Cyber Ninja's report.
00:22:11.000 This part would include imaging more than 1,800 voter check-in systems and more than 350 vote tabulation machines and other election hardware.
00:22:21.000 So I want to commend Arizona's Senate and the legislature.
00:22:25.000 They made real movement on this.
00:22:27.000 So do you know how that I know that this is a good thing that they're doing?
00:22:31.000 The Arizona Democrats have immediately filed a lawsuit to block this from happening.
00:22:36.000 Why are the Arizona Democrats so worried about this investigation?
00:22:39.000 Why are the Arizona Democrats so nervous about trying to audit ballots?
00:22:44.000 Shouldn't they be supportive about this so they can celebrate their victory in Arizona?
00:22:50.000 Aren't they excited to show how strong our election systems are?
00:22:53.000 Why are they so nervous?
00:22:55.000 Why are Democrats in the media so upset?
00:22:58.000 Rachel Maddow dedicated the top of her show to this yesterday.
00:23:01.000 Rachel Maddow said that Arizona Republicans are engaging in endless conspiracy theories, that Arizona Republicans are trying to find something where it doesn't exist.
00:23:10.000 Well, Rachel Maddow, you should be supportive of this, so then you should be able to say, look at all the money, time, and energy you wasted, Republicans.
00:23:17.000 But you're trying to fight it.
00:23:18.000 Why?
00:23:20.000 It's really not that extra cost.
00:23:23.000 Government does dumb things all the time and meaningless things.
00:23:27.000 If this was dumb and meaningless, it's not exactly like that would be a new development in government work.
00:23:34.000 It's actually a pretty good use of time, I would argue.
00:23:38.000 So, the Senate plans to hand count 2.1 million ballots and also check whether or not they were deceased voters or non-citizen voters.
00:23:46.000 That's an awesome use of time and energy.
00:23:49.000 Because a lot of people in Arizona, myself included, feel as if there was something wrong with the process.
00:23:55.000 From voter registration to vote tabulation to possibly the machines, something went wrong.
00:24:01.000 We want answers.
00:24:02.000 And just the incantation of voter fraud doesn't exist, sit down and obey.
00:24:08.000 Voter fraud doesn't exist.
00:24:10.000 Sit down and obey is not at all satisfying to those of us that know that Arizona did not have a properly run election system.
00:24:28.000 Let's get to a question here.
00:24:29.000 Charlie, I love the show.
00:24:30.000 I've learned more from you this last year.
00:24:32.000 Thank you for continuing to educate us and sharing your Christian values.
00:24:35.000 Although my son still has to wear a mask in school in Texas, we're starting to see districts lift this mandate.
00:24:40.000 Eustis has a population about 1,000 in East Texas, about an hour away from where we live.
00:24:45.000 Keep up the good work.
00:24:46.000 I've attached a screenshot.
00:24:47.000 I don't know if that's a question, but it says, Dear parents, guardians, I hope that this email finds you.
00:24:51.000 I wanted to let you know tonight, the EISD Board of Trustees voted to eliminate the mandatory mask requirements.
00:24:57.000 Awesome.
00:24:58.000 Masks may still be worn on a voluntary basis by anyone.
00:25:01.000 If you have any questions, let me know.
00:25:02.000 Good.
00:25:03.000 Thank you for emailing me that, and thank you for the kind words.
00:25:05.000 Happy to send you a book.
00:25:07.000 Let's get to this here.
00:25:09.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:25:10.000 New Hampshire finally lifted the mask mandate.
00:25:12.000 Good.
00:25:13.000 However, a large number of private businesses are still requiring to wear masks.
00:25:16.000 It is technically legal for private businesses to still require mask mandates, even if it's not mandated on a state level.
00:25:21.000 Yes.
00:25:22.000 Private businesses can do as they wish.
00:25:24.000 However, it could be a violation of a HIPAA requirement, which is something that I do not think that there's been enough legal work done on mandating a mask where a mask actually might hurt someone's medical condition.
00:25:37.000 Interestingly enough, New Hampshire should have been the first state to lift their mask requirement, because if I'm not mistaken, Connor checked me.
00:25:43.000 The motto of New Hampshire is live free or die.
00:25:45.000 I think it's the, that is the motto of New Hampshire.
00:25:49.000 So the fact that they had a mask mandate at all, live free and die, put on your mask.
00:25:53.000 Live free and die.
00:25:54.000 Make sure you wear a mask.
00:25:56.000 Little bit contradictory.
00:25:58.000 Okay, let's get to the next question here.
00:26:00.000 Congratulations, you get a signed copy of Omega Doctrine.
00:26:04.000 Right here, Joseph.
00:26:06.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:26:07.000 I'm a website developer.
00:26:07.000 I'm 15 years old.
00:26:08.000 I'm a conservative Christian and terrified of tech censorship.
00:26:11.000 You should be.
00:26:11.000 So with knowledge that my parents bestowed upon me, I'm making an alternative to the website, the streaming website, Twitch.
00:26:18.000 Good for you.
00:26:19.000 I'm putting hours, hours of time into something that shouldn't be made.
00:26:22.000 Am I putting hours and hours of time into something that shouldn't be made?
00:26:24.000 Or is it a good thing to have a Christian-owned alternative to Amazon's silencing machine?
00:26:28.000 Does Amazon own Twitch?
00:26:29.000 Is that right?
00:26:30.000 Thank you, and God bless from Southeast Iowa.
00:26:33.000 Yes, you should go create new stuff.
00:26:34.000 Even if you're not successful, you'll learn a lot about yourself.
00:26:37.000 You'll develop work ethic.
00:26:39.000 You'll stay focused on a unified purpose.
00:26:42.000 We need conservatives to build their own stuff.
00:26:46.000 So I want to thank you, Joseph, for that, and thank you for listening.
00:26:50.000 That is terrific.
00:26:53.000 My son is 10 and just started practicing with his Little League team.
00:26:53.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:26:56.000 I asked him how practice was, and if everyone on his team was friendly, he said yes.
00:26:59.000 But he caught me off guard with his next response.
00:27:01.000 He mentioned that one of the boys on his team was wearing a mask that said Black Lives Matter.
00:27:04.000 After we talked a little bit about it, my son took offense to it and felt like his life didn't matter to this boy.
00:27:11.000 I'm having a real hard time explaining him to all this.
00:27:13.000 I asked my son if this boy is nice to him and if his respectful to teammate, my son said yes.
00:27:18.000 I said, all lives matter as long as he's a good person and that's what matters.
00:27:21.000 I'd like to discuss this more with him, but I'd like your thoughts on how to proceed with this conversation, Rachel.
00:27:25.000 First of all, thank you for listening.
00:27:26.000 Do you guys understand what's happening here?
00:27:28.000 This hyperracialization of our rhetoric and our language is so destructive to young children.
00:27:34.000 Children are so confused by this because they are not looking at overly racializing our country.
00:27:41.000 They're not.
00:27:42.000 You see, children are in an exploratory phase between the ages of 3 and 13, and then they get into a developmental phase.
00:27:50.000 And they still are developmental, but when they get in the adolescent phase, it's less about exploration and more about actually trying to find out their proper place in the world.
00:27:57.000 I guess that's still exploration, but the point is that when they're eight, nine, and ten years old, there's a high level of curiosity about the world.
00:28:04.000 They're trying to make sense.
00:28:05.000 Children ask the best questions, by the way.
00:28:07.000 I think his name was Piaget, who is the child psychologist.
00:28:11.000 He was big into games and he studied children.
00:28:13.000 And he said, there's sometimes more wisdom out of young children than I think it's Piaget.
00:28:18.000 You could look it up.
00:28:18.000 It was a French guy who was a child psychologist.
00:28:20.000 Really interesting stuff.
00:28:22.000 I read a bunch of him like a year and a half ago.
00:28:25.000 But this idea that we now need to micromanage children into highly divisive racial rhetoric is bad for the nation.
00:28:37.000 It's bad for the children.
00:28:39.000 And you see that right here, where he's wondering why this person is wearing a Black Lives Matter mass, saying, well, does that mean my life doesn't matter?
00:28:49.000 There are going to be so many pieces of collateral damage that we will never be able to measure because of what this racial reckoning, racial reckoning has done.
00:29:04.000 And yes, it's Jean Piaget and Connor said in our group text, where do you come up with this stuff, LOL?
00:29:10.000 I read two hours a day and study, and eventually something useful gets mentioned here on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:29:16.000 Jean Piaget, the famous child psychologist, I went on a whole deep dive on child psychology a year and a half ago.
00:29:22.000 I was fascinated by it.
00:29:23.000 And I'm actually going to explain that.
00:29:25.000 It's super interesting because I was actually wondering: are human beings tabulo rosa?
00:29:32.000 Which means blank slate.
00:29:34.000 Aristotle talked about this originally.
00:29:36.000 John Locke wrote about it extensively, which is his belief that human beings are a blank slate without rules for processing information or data, and that your sensory experiences form your worldview.
00:29:50.000 Now, Jean Piaget, who again, like a year and a half ago, I read all about this guy.
00:29:54.000 He's super interesting.
00:29:56.000 He studied children, which is always something that I found from a developmental psychology standpoint very interesting.
00:30:02.000 And he realized that children, in their process of intellectual development and roots of knowledge, they are not mini adults.
00:30:14.000 They're actually categorically different than adults.
00:30:17.000 And that, again, I didn't agree with all of his conclusions.
00:30:21.000 I'm happy to go through that in a different podcast.
00:30:24.000 But he suggested that people are actively constructing their knowledge on the world based on the interactions between their ideas and their experiences.
00:30:35.000 And so, are we born with a blank slate?
00:30:41.000 It's a very interesting question, and I'm not sure the proper way to answer it because it's not a yes or no answer.
00:30:47.000 But let me give you an example.
00:30:49.000 And CUD81 is an example of someone that was not born this ignorant.
00:30:57.000 This person was nurtured amongst foolishness, was brought up around it, was led forth into the abyss of garbage.
00:31:08.000 She dwells in that land.
00:31:10.000 She has become the queen of nonsense, elevated to a position on the hierarchy beyond anything that we can ever touch.
00:31:20.000 I give you the patron saint of the world is ending.
00:31:23.000 CUD81.
00:31:25.000 You still have time to do the right thing and to save your legacies.
00:31:29.000 But that window of time is not going to last for long.
00:31:35.000 What happens then?
00:31:38.000 We the young people are the ones who are going to write about you in the history books.
00:31:43.000 We are the ones who get to decide how you will be remembered.
00:31:48.000 So my advice for you is to choose wisely.
00:31:52.000 Now, if you thought you were watching or listening to something from the Hunger Games, you're half right.
00:31:59.000 It sounds like a threat.
00:32:01.000 It sounds like an extortion attempt.
00:32:04.000 Now, remember, in Rousseauian philosophy, they view the primitive over the civilized, the infant over the adult, and the adulterous lover over the loyal spouse.
00:32:16.000 But I'm reminded by a passage from Orwell's 1984.
00:32:19.000 Tragically, parents actually fear their own children because they know that their children's loyalties lie with Big Brother, and that they should even suspect that they're parents of deviation from their strict codes of behavior mandated by the government, that they will not hesitate to turn them in.
00:32:38.000 We have a whole society of people that are afraid of Greta Thunberg.
00:32:42.000 I want you to listen to what she said.
00:32:44.000 That window of time is not going to last.
00:32:46.000 We're going to write the history books.
00:32:48.000 Now, this is so out of 1984.
00:32:51.000 You understand one of the main thesis of 1984 is rewriting history and putting a small group of very angry people in charge of what's written.
00:32:58.000 So basically, Greta is like this.
00:32:59.000 Look, if you want to be remembered nicely, you better do what I tell you to do.
00:33:04.000 Now, do I think Greta Thunberg was born with this mountain of garbage?
00:33:09.000 No.
00:33:10.000 I think that her parents, the people around her, she's Swedish, right?
00:33:16.000 Is it Swedish or is it Swedish?
00:33:19.000 What a, I think that's right.
00:33:21.000 Yeah.
00:33:23.000 What a beautiful country that has just produced an awful human being, honestly.
00:33:28.000 And I feel bad for her.
00:33:29.000 She's a teenager.
00:33:31.000 She really doesn't know what she's doing.
00:33:33.000 But at this point, she's getting to a level where she is saying, choose wisely.
00:33:42.000 Huh.
00:33:43.000 What if we don't?
00:33:45.000 Are you going to erase us from the history books?
00:33:48.000 You're going to call the Ministry of Truth?
00:33:51.000 That's basically what she's saying.
00:33:55.000 Do you know what you call a Christian who thinks the world is ending?
00:33:59.000 A religious fanatic.
00:34:01.000 You know what you call a secular person who thinks the world is ending?
00:34:05.000 An environmentalist.
00:34:08.000 Think about that.
