00:00:58.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:10.000In 1857, the SS Central, also known as the Gold Ship, sank with 9.1 tons of gold on board, valued at $2.1 million.
00:01:18.000That is the modern-day equivalent to hundreds of millions, the greatest American treasure ever discovered at sea.
00:01:22.000Today, Noble Gold, a California-based company with a pristine reputation, has a share of these coins available to their clients.
00:01:28.000Over 7,000 gold coins, mainly $1, $5, or $20 gold coins from 1840 to 1857, were recovered from the SS Central America shipwreck.
00:01:38.000Most of these coins from the ship of gold were quickly acquired by private collectors when the coins were first brought to the market in early 2000.
00:01:44.000Now Noble's clients can get this unforgettable part of American history at a fair, affordable valuation.
00:01:49.000Contact Noble Gold and ask about the Kirk shipwreck deal to receive this unique offer.
00:01:55.000Then call a Noble Gold representative to ask about shipwreck coins.
00:01:59.000Inflation is here, so it's time to tell better stories at your parties by showcasing inflation-resistant, one-of-a-kind coins from a collection destined to rise in value.
00:02:10.000It's Friday, so I am taking your questions this entire hour.
00:02:14.000Maybe you're in Riverside, California.
00:02:27.000Or maybe you are in Yakima, Washington.
00:02:30.000Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com, and I will take your questions.
00:02:35.000One question that one of our listeners have is: say, hey, Charlie, my friends are saying that critical race theory is not being taught in schools, that it's a legal theory.
00:04:47.000Or do you just call people who are part of the KKK racists and bigots?
00:04:53.000This is a very difficult thing because you don't want to call everyone a racist because we get called that all the time baselessly from the other side, but they're actually racist and it's actually very effective because they don't know how to handle it.
00:05:05.000Tucker Carlson said it best: let's play Cut 98 as an example of this and how we've heard white hate so much lately, we've forgotten that the one thing you couldn't do in America is attack someone based on their skin color.
00:05:37.000It was the one unacceptable thing and for very good reason.
00:05:40.000You cannot maintain a multiracial democracy unless people of every color have exactly the same rights and responsibilities under the law and are considered of precisely the same moral value under God.
00:05:54.000Now, we are a republic, but I know what Tucker is saying.
00:07:12.000Clarity leads to a respectful country.
00:07:16.000When you are clear about what you believe and why you believe it, and then you're clear about what the other person believes and why they believe it, there really is very little place for chaos.
00:10:25.000There's never been anyone that understands the border better than Kamala Harris.
00:10:28.000How dare you question if you are you're racist?
00:10:30.000And so Texas should build a border wall and Arizona should build the border wall.
00:10:38.000The states need to reaffirm their sovereignty.
00:10:40.000If the federal government is going to do nothing about a humanitarian and moral and sovereignty crisis, it is time for the Texas National Guard to be fully mobilized to the border.
00:10:50.000It's time for the southern border wall to be completely built and it's time for Texas Rangers to have arrest and deportation authority over any foreign national that steps into Texas.
00:11:02.000And Florida has sent in reinforcements.
00:11:04.000We need a massive border construction and deportation force to the southern border.
00:11:09.000Kamala Harris, who is the czar and the queenista of the border, Kami, she has decided that she cares more about the needs, wants, and interests of Guatemala than of Guadalajara, actually, no, Guadalajara, Mexico, than of, let's say, Galveston, Texas.
00:11:26.000She cares more about Guatemala than Galveston, Texas.
00:11:29.000It's time for the states to reaffirm their sovereignty.
00:11:35.000With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need on a traditional chain storefront.
00:11:41.000Why endure often pointless and seemingly intimidating questioning and wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer or her computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry?
00:11:51.000You have computers with access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
00:11:56.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money and that you can then use for other important things like mortgages or food.
00:12:03.000Why choose to spend 30, 50, or 100% more?
00:13:04.000My question is: today, Joe Biden just weaponized the State Department, the Justice Department, but I know what you mean, by suing the state of Georgia.
00:13:12.000How concerned should we be that Joe is going after the state's elections and the new voting laws?
00:13:17.000Are you surprised Joe and the Communist Marxist Democrat Party haven't moved on this sooner?
00:13:23.000This is unprecedented, but they think of themselves as Dwight D. Eisenhower.
00:13:27.000This is the argument they're about to make.
00:13:32.000They're going to say, well, we used the federal government to desegregate schools in Arkansas with the Little Rock 9.
00:13:38.000We brought in the National Guard and the governor blinked.
00:13:41.000Why wouldn't we bring in the federal government to go against these racist voting laws?
00:13:46.000You see, that's why it's so important to set the terms of engagement and the truth of what we're dealing with, because then it actually puts guardrails on further involvement or intervention.
00:14:00.000The Biden administration is suing the state of Georgia, alleging, quote, changes to the Georgia's election laws were enacted with the purpose of denying and abridging the right of black Georgians to vote on account of their color or race.
00:14:13.000You see, they're so worried that Governor Brian Kemp wants to know the identity and verify the signature of every voter in Georgia, the federal government is now swooping in with unlimited resources to crush the state of Georgia.
00:14:27.000Now, mind you, if this was the case, why does the Biden administration not sue the state of Delaware, Joe Biden's home state of Delaware, with stricter voting laws than the state of Georgia?
00:14:39.000Why is the Biden administration not suing Georgia?
00:14:43.000The obvious reason is that whatever machine they have set up in Delaware benefits Democrats and benefits Joe Biden and quite honestly, benefits white politicians because Delaware produces a lot of white politicians.
00:14:56.000Now, in Georgia, it's become a battleground state, purely and totally manufactured by the Democrat Party and Vichy French Neville Chamberlain Republicans that have always been suing for peace while they get steamrolled by the Stacey Abrams group of the Democrat Party.
00:15:12.000And Georgia, very interestingly, has this lawsuit going on, which, by the way, ballot inspectors against the Georgia judges' own orders have just inspected those Fulton County ballots.
00:15:27.000You read these affidavits and you read the realclearpolitics.com article.
00:15:33.000They allege thousands of photocopied ballots were counted in this last election.
00:15:38.000If just a few of those ballots were not counted in the first election before the runoff, David Perdue would have avoided a runoff with John Ossif, and David Perdue would have been the U.S. Senator from Georgia.
00:15:54.000Instead, it forced a runoff and they got two Democrat senators from Georgia.
00:16:01.000Today, the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia.
00:16:06.000Our complaint alleges that recent changes to Georgia's election laws were enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color in violation of section two of the Voting Rights Act.
00:16:23.000There is no evidence of this whatsoever.
00:16:25.000In fact, this expands voting on Sunday for black communities.
00:16:30.000But the Biden administration wants to make a public example.
00:16:34.000This is the Soviet equivalent of, this is the American equivalent of a Soviet practice called a show trial.
00:16:42.000They want to put something on display.
00:16:52.000This is pure and total Democrat-style intimidation.
00:16:56.000You see, one of the KKK's tactics that they used was intimidation, trying to show others that they can't act in a certain way.
00:17:06.000Now, we know that the Georgia election was not done constitutionally.
00:17:09.000We know the Georgia election was done immorally.
00:17:13.000But now the federal government is intervening because they're afraid that Raphael Warnock is going to lose to potentially Herschel Walker and run Herschel Run.
00:17:32.000They're worried that their current monopoly on power is about to be broken up.
00:17:37.000And because of that, the Biden administration is coming in and they are unconstitutionally questioning the plenary powers of the state to administer elections as they see fit.
00:17:47.000And nothing in the Georgia election law violates the Civil Rights Act, no matter what Merrick Garland or the Department of Justice says.
00:17:57.000They know they are standing on fragile footing and that the American people are about to displace the Democrats from power.
00:18:05.000Here's one here from Mike, who emailed us in.
00:18:08.000Charlie, I live in Riverside, California.
00:18:10.000I've been hearing that because people are standing up to the left and fighting against critical race theory, the left is going to teach critical race theory under a different format called Transformational Social and Emotional Learning, T-cell.
00:19:06.000What makes one race different than the other?
00:19:08.000Please build out to me the differences between a white person and a black person.
00:19:12.000And number three, are you going to all of a sudden teach children that what matters most in life is things they cannot control or change?
00:19:22.000Those three questions there should be asked repeatedly, clearly, and gracefully and concisely of everything, every single educator across the country or person in charge of curriculum.
00:19:34.000These ideas already dominate our corporations that many corporations, they believe that skin color is incredibly important.
00:19:42.000They think that how you look is a value.
00:19:45.000We here on the Charlie Kirk show think how you look is completely and totally irrelevant.
00:20:18.000And so, Mike, that's what they want, because that creates the conditions for totalitarianism.
00:20:27.000They want a conditional environment where a small group of people can control a lot of different things.
00:20:33.000A republic where people have mutual respect, where people know each other.
00:20:39.000That does not allow those sorts of things to occur.
00:20:42.000Now, I want to read again from Aristotle, book five.
00:20:46.000I've read this a couple times on our podcast, and I know some people's eyes glaze over, but hear me out.
00:20:52.000Aristotle, of course, learned from Plato, and Plato learned from Socrates.
00:20:58.000Aristotle was much more focused on things you can see than things you can, much less abstractionist and much more focused on the empirical world.
00:21:08.000Aristotle was a scientist, and he ran the Lyceum.
00:21:11.000And so, Aristotle in the book Politics.
00:21:14.000So, Aristotle wrote a book on metaphysics.
00:21:16.000He wrote a book on ethics and politics.
00:21:18.000The best way to read it, and again, I learned from Dr. Larry Arn.
00:21:22.000I took their phenomenal course at hillsdale.edu, and hopefully have some more announcements about that soon.
00:21:28.000And it was a lot of work, and I have whole books of notes on it.
00:21:31.000Again, I'm by no means an expert, okay?
00:21:33.000I have a very elementary form of knowledge on this, but enough where it's actually really helped enhance my worldview.
00:21:40.000And he wrote in Politics, Book 5, Chapter 11, about tyrants.
00:21:43.000This is 2,500 years ago, about a small group of people controlling a lot of things.
00:21:50.000Tyrants preserve themselves by not letting there be any schools or other collegial gatherings, like the lockdowns, for leisured pursuits, and doing everything that will keep all people as unknown to one another as possible, since familiarity breeds greater degree of mutual trust.
00:22:09.000So let's use that logically and go backwards in what Aristotle's teaching us here.
00:22:14.000Do you think that what we're teaching our children creates greater degrees of mutual trust?
00:22:20.000Do you think that CRT or transformational social equity learning or whatever this nonsense is, again, it's word laundering.
00:22:47.000This is like all of these companies that go through all these scandals and they come out with this big rebranding package is what this is like.
00:22:57.000Many times we have seen people that go through big scandals and they come out all of a sudden with kind of the new and improved 2.0.
00:23:37.000If you care about just the melanin content, you are a tribal racist.
00:23:43.000If you care about melanin content, you care about things that cannot be changed or moved.
00:23:50.000Okay, let's go to another question here.
00:23:53.000One of my friends here, someone emailed us and said, KDKA in Pittsburgh is the only station east of the Mississippi with a K. Huh, that's interesting.
00:24:01.000I learned something new every single day.
00:24:35.000Both my grandfathers fought in wars and brought our families up to be proud Americans and to love our country because it is the greatest country in the world.
00:24:42.000My grandfather fought in World War II.
00:24:44.000My ancestors fought in World War I. My ancestors fought in the Civil War, the War of 1812 and the Revolutionary War.
00:26:47.000And then we need to build new things and build big things.
00:26:50.000We need to stop using their corporations whenever possible.
00:26:52.000I know it's not easy, as I say this incredibly hypocritically with an Apple device right in front of me, which again, we're working on getting a sticker across it.
00:27:40.000Where all of a sudden you say, look, we're going to do what it takes, what it is necessary to win, to take terrain from them and to protect the framework and civil government and free societies.
00:28:08.000It's like saying Winston Churchill would have to be.
00:28:11.000Imagine Winston Churchill saying, you know, we got the right ideas, but I had to give up Britain because I wasn't willing to do what was necessary.
00:28:21.000Sometimes the stakes get so high that you have to do what is needed to achieve victory.
00:28:31.000Did you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?

00:29:39.000Hey, Charlie, my question to you is, why are we only hearing about transgender males in women's sports and not transgender women competing in male sports?
00:29:46.000It seems to me that males are doing it for an ego thing and females are doing it because they truly believe that's what they are.
00:29:53.000And congratulations on your recent marriage.
00:29:54.000May God bless you and your wife abundantly.
00:29:57.000Well, one of the reasons you're not hearing about it is because I don't think any woman who thinks that they are a man has any sort of a shot at competing in male sports because it sort of basically proves our point.
00:30:10.000By the way, I'm happy to report, I don't know, one of these Olympians who thought they were a woman lost tremendously and did not qualify.
00:30:58.000Donald Trump going down to the border and announcing it forced the hand of Kamala Harris.
00:31:04.000Donald Trump saying that he was going to come down to the border all of a sudden forced the hand of a current elected official, Kamala Harris, to go down to the border.
00:31:24.000This trip on Friday, which is being done in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Mayorkas is, of course, joining her to continue to address the root causes and work in coordination to get the situation under control.
00:31:38.000It must not be under control if you're sending the vice president there.
00:31:43.000Let's get one more question here from Quinton.
00:31:45.000Mike Lindell, a good man, mypillow.com promo code Kirk, has made comments that Trump would be reinstated to the office this fall.
00:31:53.000Because nothing in the Constitution states reinstatement to office.
00:31:57.000I don't think that's going to happen, but we do have an exclusive conversation where Mike just sounds off, and we're going to have that on our podcast.
00:32:04.000I love his passion for the Lord, for Jesus.
00:32:36.000Mike Lindell has a lot of passion for his country and he loves Jesus Christ.
00:32:40.000If he says some things that I don't see eye to eye with him, then that's between Mike and I. You are trying to divide us if you're all of a sudden trying to interject yourself when some blogger says, What's your comment on this?
00:32:52.000Because I know you're friends with him.
00:33:00.000I'm all of a sudden not going to be forced tyrannically into playing on the terms of engagement.
00:33:06.000And that's some good advice for all of you.
00:33:08.000All of you have these friendships that all of a sudden are trying to, that you have that you like, well, do you denounce this because this person did that?
00:33:23.000Aristotle wrote a lot about friendship.
00:33:26.000So I refuse to all of a sudden sever ties with people that I've shared experiences and values with just because some blogger tells me to do so.
00:33:36.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
