00:01:24.000His 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.
00:01:32.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:17.000It's one of the companies I'm so happy to promote in our program.
00:02:20.000If you aren't currently looking for a watch or accessories, then still go to their site and watch the short conservative films.
00:02:27.000The CEO, Elon, was awarded the Fox Patriot Courage Award specifically to celebrate his very public effort to show support for American police officers.
00:02:38.000Elon gave us a great discount of 15% off to share with you by using the code Kirk at checkout.
00:04:53.000I have decided not to get the vaccine.
00:04:55.000And I am going to protect every single person in any way that I can to say no from getting a jab in their arm from something concocted by pharmaceutical companies that I do not trust in a rushed fashion and in a way that I think is highly suspicious.
00:05:28.000He said, quote, I took the first jab of AZ and straight away had severe reactions, which lasted 10 days.
00:05:34.000I recovered eventually and was told it would be 12 weeks before the second one.
00:05:38.000Needless to say, the reactions were disastrous.
00:05:40.000My hands and feet were either frozen, numb, or burning and pretty much useless for two weeks.
00:05:45.000I feared I would never be able to play the guitar again.
00:05:49.000But if you believe the vaccine works and you got the vaccine, then fine.
00:05:53.000I'm literally not going to judge you on that way.
00:05:57.000And it's probably one of the largest handouts ever to Big Pharma.
00:06:00.000Billions of dollars from Big Pharma from Forbes.
00:06:03.000This is how the COVID-19 vaccine injected billions into Big Pharma and made its executives very rich.
00:06:09.000I have a special place of contempt for Big Pharma.
00:06:14.000Their profit model is completely dependent on addicting you on non-holistic methods or remedies, not looking for maybe getting more sleep or exercising or eating healthily.
00:07:17.000I like markets because I like human beings.
00:07:19.000And I see these commercials of these people frolicking through the meadows and this grandfather smiling on his porch and he has his grandson and this deceptively edited curated thing.
00:07:32.000And you look at what the drug actually does with its side effects, like, hold on a second.
00:07:37.000Maybe if he just stopped going and eating saturated fats a couple days a week, maybe if he said no to the double whopper, by the way, what do they call a quarter pounder in France?
00:08:08.000Maybe you should stop eating the royale with cheese.
00:08:11.000Now, instead of that, we just pill push people.
00:08:14.000I don't mean to, and if you're one of those people that takes a lot of pills, maybe it's the right decision for you.
00:08:19.000Again, I tend to have a standoffish approach on accusing anyone for their motives and why they do what they do in that.
00:08:28.000Instead, I think these pharmaceutical companies pushing this vaccine, I do not believe that they should have the benefit of good intentions.
00:08:41.000This is a very serious ethical dilemma, and it really gets fundamentally to what the problem with the biggest problem with our culture right now is.
00:08:53.000And I've talked at length about this, and you've heard a lot of my speeches.
00:08:56.000Maybe you haven't, and you should check out the Charlie Kirk Show podcast if you haven't, I think you'd be, I think you'd enjoy it.
00:09:01.000Part of what we have to say there, we dive deep into these issues.
00:09:04.000We are not going to be able to take back our country and restore our country to greatness without regular people sacrificing.
00:09:15.000So, I got a message from a lady the other day, and she decided to leave her job because of forced vaccinations.
00:09:23.000And she sent me the most beautiful text message.
00:09:25.000I want to just keep it private by her own wishes, where she said, I am the freest I have ever been.
00:09:31.000I will find another job, and I will find another source of income.
00:09:38.000But if I sacrificed my deeply held beliefs, my integrity, for a paycheck, I would never be able to live with myself.
00:09:48.000Now, maybe you have a job that you value more than your integrity, or maybe you've just avoided the vaccine and it's not that important to you.
00:09:56.000Maybe it's just something that you've avoided, and you're like, if I have to get it, I will, but they're going to have to hunt me down.
00:10:27.000Dishonesty, not being committed to things that are real or true within yourself and in the external world, creates a culture of deception and treachery, of lies, of despair, of backroom deals, of under-the-table behavior.
00:10:44.000So, the question is right now, what do I do?
00:10:59.000I have already said to one of these young, one of these women that contacted me, I said, I will give you, I will help you with your bills if you can't find another job.
00:11:10.000Now, that is not a standing offered every one of our listeners.
00:11:16.000However, I will say this: people will help you.
00:11:22.000And if enough people rise up against this, you might be stunned and surprised.
00:11:29.000How many people are feeling that as well?
00:11:31.000But the question really is, what are you willing to do to be true to yourself?
00:11:40.000With the ever-increasing numbers of makes, fiat kia, and models, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need on a traditional chain storefront.
00:11:47.000Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning and wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry?
00:11:56.000You have computers with access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
00:12:00.000Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.
00:12:04.000Rockauto.com's prices are the same for everybody and are reliably low.
00:12:08.000Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear, like airlines do.

00:12:51.000Write Charlie Kirk in there, How'd you hear about us section.
00:12:54.000Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need.
00:13:05.000I just mentioned, I heard you mention the lady who left her job over forced vaccines.
00:13:10.000And she said it's the freest she's ever been.
00:13:12.000I pulled my kids out of public school to homeschool them, and my family is the freest we have ever been.
00:13:16.000Amazing how freedom permeates the areas where we remove other people's imposed control or demands over our lives.
00:13:24.000You must know who you are and why you believe what you believe, because if you forget that, no one else will know.
00:13:30.000If you do not know your own moral conscience and you allow others to dictate it for you, it will be lost in the sea of collectivist tyranny.
00:13:42.000Now, maybe staying and keeping that job is value for you.
00:13:50.000But here's what I encourage you to do if you're wrestling with this: take out a piece of paper and write what is the most important value for you.
00:13:57.000So if you're a Christian, that value should be truth.
00:14:03.000For Christians, that is the ultimate value.
00:15:40.000Want to have private businesses be forced to have the vaccine, but the Center for Disease Control, their employees are saying no to the vaccine.
00:16:22.000All I know is that more people have died of complications to the vaccine than died at 9-11.
00:16:30.000That's according to the vaccine reporting board that is public.
00:16:35.000Fauci's testimony said that a bit more than half when he asked how many NIH employees have taken the vaccine, CDC director said about the same.
00:17:07.000If anyone here on this program gets fired or you know someone that gets fired because you were forced to have the vaccine, send me your stories.
00:17:18.000Some people are asking what is happening right now in the city of Chicago with Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
00:17:26.000Mary Lori Lightfoot has said that she only wants to do interviews with people of color.
00:17:33.000We have a question here from Steve from McHenry, Illinois.
00:17:37.000Charlie, how can it be legal what Mayor Lori Lightfoot is doing?
00:17:42.000It might be legal, but it's so immoral and reprehensible.
00:17:45.000Let's play some tape and walk through it here.
00:17:49.000Let's go to cut 110, Mary Lori Lightfoot, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, play tape.
00:17:55.000It's way past time for the City Hall Press Corps and the people that do the hiring and make the decisions to get the memo.
00:18:02.000We are in a time where we're having a powerful and important conversation around systemic racism in every institution.
00:18:10.000And the press and the media can't be exempt from that conversation.
00:18:15.000So Mayor Lori Lightfoot is now saying she'll only grant interviews to black and brown journalists, which is an unbelievably racist thing to say.
00:18:44.000When we are looking at the two-year anniversary of my inauguration, as a woman of color, as a lesbian, it's important to me that diversity is put front and center.
00:18:57.000If I, as the black woman mayor, the first ever, don't challenge us, the collective us, to do better, to really make sure that in every institution, it reflects the diversity and nuance and texture of our city, then shame on me.
00:19:14.000So Mary Lori Lightfoot says that you can only talk to me if you're a certain skin color.
00:19:23.000It's a word that I was raised, you know, from Chicago, suburbs of Chicago, and I was always raised to believe that discrimination was evil.
00:19:34.000I remember a time in America when you used to discriminate based on skin color.
00:19:42.000Now, Mary Lori Lightfoot believes that if you do not have the proper skin color, ye not allowed within my kingdom to ask me a question.
00:19:51.000So instead of saying, you know what, I'm only going to have journalists that are smart or fair, write good articles, are honest, she says, no, the price of entry will be if you look like me.
00:20:03.000Could you imagine if Donald Trump said he will only grant interviews to white journalists?
00:20:29.000I've always thought she was kind of fair, but she's been going down this radical rabbit hole.
00:20:32.000It's been very interesting to see how some of these journalists the last couple of years, I don't think they even realize how radical they're becoming because they just keep on having the same sort of Zoom calls and they keep getting moved in this direction.
00:20:43.000Next thing you know, they're Bolsheviks.
00:21:04.000For one day, she's trying to shake everybody up and shine a spotlight on the lack of diversity in the City Hall Press Corps.
00:21:13.000Now, one of the things that critical race theorists believe, like Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo and Taha Nisi Coates and the people teaching your children is that current discrimination will fix prior discrimination.
00:21:32.000So, for example, a Jewish journalist is not allowed to ask Lori Lightfoot a question because we must discriminate against Jews to try to make way for black journalists.
00:21:44.000That is a belief of critical race theory, that the only way to right the wrong of something prior, even though that wrong is unspecified and disconnected from the person that's currently living, is to now make people feel pain today.
00:24:31.000You guys can email me in real-time freedom at charliekirk.com from Derek.
00:24:38.000Hey, Charlie, how can we as conservatives fight against a party in the media that doesn't play by the rules to protect our rights, freedoms, and give power back to the people?
00:24:44.000Personally, I'm trying to focus on local elections, but difficult to find due to lack of resources.
00:25:13.000And by the way, any question that I select that you guys email as freedom at charliekirk.com, you get a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine, says this: that we need a scheme in which corporations will relocate liberal employees to swing states.
00:25:25.000This is how committed they are to redefining America.
00:25:28.000This is how focused they are on winning, is relocating companies, not for business purposes, not for profits, no, for changing the fabric of the political makeup of the state.
00:25:39.000You could easily give incentives to people to move to Florida, to Texas, to North Carolina, to Georgia, to Arizona.
00:25:47.000Nice weather, lower cost of living, lower taxes, and in so doing, probably accomplish a whole lot more in terms of demography and its ultimate impact without at all affecting profits of corporations.
00:26:03.000So I hope Governor DeSantis, Governor Abbott are listening, and Governor DeSantis did a great job.
00:26:09.000Stop recruiting these businesses to your states.
00:26:13.000You have the MSNBC founder, Tom Rogers, on television, and Doug Ducey from Arizona bragging that when these companies move into these states, they're going to change the makeup of those states towards a liberal direction.
00:26:38.000Florida has low taxes because they've kept a focus on their citizens, not on some sort of utopian dream that you're trying to accomplish.
00:26:48.000So, for example, Hewlett-Packard moves their headquarters to Texas.
00:26:51.000These are, I call these people ribbon-cutting Republicans.
00:26:56.000They're always happy to post on their Twitter feeds pictures of them cutting ribbons of some technology company that re-domiciles to their functioning conservative state to turn it into a mini California, like Hewlett-Packard.
00:27:11.000Governor Abbott should say, Hewlett Packard is not welcome in the state of Texas.
00:28:42.000And then all these executives are going to buy these big Mick mansions in Houston for a low cost of living, and they're going to start hosting fundraisers.
00:28:50.000And all these Hewlett-Packard executives are going to host fundraisers for local elections, for congressional elections.
00:28:55.000Next thing you know, Texas will become a legitimate battleground state because ribbon-cutting Republicans like Greg Abbott are welcoming these social justice warrior technology firms to states that are working so the parasites can take them over because they want to maximize profits because they already destroyed California.
00:29:10.000Red state governors should not be welcoming these left-wing companies.
00:29:15.000Instead, say, you're not welcome here.
00:29:17.000We're going to go start our own businesses around values that matter and things that are eternal, that do not change.
00:29:23.000Progressive republicanism and conservatism will die with the political futures of Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney.
00:29:31.000When you make a god out of corporate growth, you will always be playing on the left's terms.
00:29:39.000There's a lot of questions we're getting around this topic that I want to get to, which is around what's happening to the United States military.
00:29:48.000There's a question we got here, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:29:51.000And congratulations, you get a signed copy of my book.
00:29:57.000I'm an enlisted member with only a couple of Marines under my charge.
00:30:00.000I've been in the military for almost nine years.
00:30:02.000I've been almost under three different commanders and sergeant majors.
00:30:04.000I've been to three different commands and deployed to the 5th Fleet and CENTCOM.
00:30:08.000I've never been more ashamed of the United States or the military like I am now.
00:30:12.000But I cannot stand up in a crowded place on a base and point out my views.
00:30:16.000I can't talk to other people about it either because Marines live on a mission, first mindset with no politics.
00:30:20.000But politics have found their way into the Marine Corps.
00:30:23.000Starting with the office administration of Mr. Biden, on January 20th, the second and third order effects of the Department of Defense mandated an extremism training to happen.
00:30:33.000I can't risk coming up publicly and posting crazy things on Facebook because the military is supposed to be used as a political platform, but I'm just so frustrated.
00:30:41.000I wanted to hear, I wanted you to hear that there are a lot of guys like me that want this stuff to end.
00:30:45.000We want extremism training and feministic ideology and LGBTQ stuff to stop infiltrating the military.
00:30:53.000Because if we were to go to war right now, America would lose a lot of lives because we could do anything worth mentioning.
00:30:58.000I'd love to hear back what we should do in the military.
00:31:27.000I said this at a speech recently and everyone loses their mind.
00:31:30.000Well, not the people that I spoke to, they liked it.
00:31:32.000But look, racial diversity, of course, can be a strength.
00:31:34.000That's not the only type of diversity.
00:31:36.000So, let's just use an example that we'd all be familiar with, which is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Tom Brady.
00:31:41.000You have Tom Brady called a play and they're in the huddle and he says, Okay, we're going to be going to sweep right and make sure the left guard pulls.
00:31:49.000And next thing you know, Rob Grankowski just runs right down the field like it's a Hail Mary and doesn't do his block.
00:31:55.000And he comes back to the huddle and it's a loss of six yards.
00:31:58.000You say, Gronk, what was that all about?
00:32:12.000And of course, they only talk about racial diversity, but what about linguistic diversity?
00:32:17.000Is linguistic diversity one person's strength?
00:32:20.000If no one could communicate with each other, if no one could find common values, Aristotle said, we are the speaking beings, our ability to have common nouns, our ability to interface with values, our ability to learn language quickly and to process it and to say, this is how we view the natural world and the spirit and the soul of human beings.
00:32:39.000Well, if you have linguistic diversity at all costs, diversity is our strength, and no one knows what anyone is saying, can you really have unity?
00:32:52.000Differences can add complexity and yes, beauty to the world.
00:32:55.000Without differences, we're all just a bunch of automatons and that's no fun.
00:32:59.000However, the incantation of repeating that no matter what, diversity will always be a strength and never saying that we are going to have commonality or any sort of agreement as a strength, especially in the United States military, where by definition, you do not want diversity for diversity's sake, not racial diversity, media matters.
00:33:57.000I'm afraid to this young man that sent me this email, there's not a lot of options.
00:34:01.000It's up to our leaders, our senators, our congresspeople, and God willing, our generals to stand up against this nonsense.
00:34:06.000Because if they truly do take over the aircraft carriers, the missiles, the bullets, and the Marines, it's going to be very hard for us to counter that.
00:34:14.000But I still hold a belief that the rank and file are with us, and it's the suits, not the boots, that are pushing this garbage.
00:34:21.000So maybe quietly and softly find people that agree with you and push back where you can.
00:34:28.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
