00:00:15.000We dive deep into the question of the FBI going after parents and what it's going to take for you to stand up for your rights in your country right now and so much more.

00:00:29.000I want to thank Nick for your very generous support from Utah.
00:00:32.000Allison from San Diego, California, thank you.
00:01:15.000So go to tpusa.com/slash amfest right now to get your tickets to come to Turning Point USA's amazing pro-American celebration, AmFest, tpusa.com.
00:01:58.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:05.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:43.000Got a lot of good questions here that I want to get to.
00:02:46.000And let me just start with kind of a general one that a lot of people are asking about: where they're saying, Charlie, what do I do about my employer that is now mandating the vaccine?
00:02:57.000We've been through this a good amount, but I want to just tell you that the people that are emailing us and are willing to lose their jobs are some of the most courageous people in the entire country.
00:03:10.000But it's also important to realize that these employers and these bosses and these CEOs that are actually putting forth these mandates are doing so before the actual vaccine mandate has actually been put in writing.
00:03:30.000The mandate, the mandate currently does not exist.
00:04:16.000We are now being governed by press releases and the threat of the implementation of doing this.
00:04:23.000Stephanie McFarland, spokeswoman for the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, said, quote, there is nothing yet that gives employers any mandate.
00:04:32.000This president made an announcement on this asking OSHA to do it.
00:04:38.000And so as it is right now, any company that is complying, there's nothing to comply with.
00:04:44.000They're complying with a press release.
00:04:46.000And so we have people that are now losing their jobs because they do not want to get vaccinated.
00:04:51.000By the way, against a vaccine that is not even guaranteed to prevent you from getting the virus, that actually new data is showing in California that vaccinated people are having a more difficult time with the Fauci virus than unvaccinated people.
00:05:55.000And demand that you show your medical status.
00:05:59.000And we're going to post this on charliekirk.com, but the new California study finds that vaccinated individuals are susceptible to COVID variant infections more than unvaccinated.
00:06:09.000In addition, the increase in frequency of more antibody-resistant strains in the population correlates with the increase in the frequency of the vaccination in the population.
00:06:20.000The antibody-resistant strains are predominantly circulating in the vaccinated community.
00:07:03.000I came back to thousands and thousands and thousands of emails of adverse events of people dropping, of people that parents dropped dead, losing regular mobile, you know, motor function.
00:07:17.000And of course, the media continued their propagandist push against anyone that dared ask the question.
00:07:23.000We went first, we dove right into the vaccines, and I left Connor and Andrew to deal with it when I was on my honeymoon.
00:07:30.000It was the last podcast and last broadcast I did.
00:07:33.000I said, let's do the most controversial thing imaginable.
00:07:36.000You know, we could have done low taxes, high taxes, why socialism is bad.
00:10:29.000And the brilliance of this, and now we need to wake up and tell people about this, hello, is that people think it's real because the president said it.
00:10:39.000Employers enforce it because they think it's coming, yet there's nothing here.
00:10:44.000It was originally on page 168 of the massive reconciliation bill that is in limbo.
00:10:51.000But this is another example of a Democrat bluff that we all fell for.
00:10:56.000So Biden says it, but their strategy all along was never to actually put this in an executive order.
00:11:05.000I thought we're in the midst of the worst pandemic in human history.
00:11:08.000If that was so, Joe Biden should have signed it the next day and said, you know what, take me to court.
00:11:11.000But Joe Biden knows he would have lost in court.
00:11:14.000Therefore, Joe Biden knew if he was going to lose in court.
00:11:17.000It's better just to say it, not issue it and have people enforce it themselves because they think that OSHA might show up, which is not going to happen, by the way.
00:11:27.000We are being played right now, everybody.
00:11:33.000Thefederalist.com by Joy Pullman, phenomenal piece.
00:11:39.000She closes it by saying, these people believe they are royalty, and too many Americans are acting like they're losers, serfs, instead of citizens endowed by God with inalienable rights, including the right to consent through elected representatives, not never elected dictator bureaucrats, to rules that restrict our rights, everyday lives, and human dignity.
00:12:00.000Joy Pullman writes for the Federalist.
00:12:02.000And the title of the article is brilliant.
00:12:04.000Joe Biden's vaccine mandate does not exist.
00:12:20.000There's so much going on in the world, whether it's stuff you're excited about or stuff that you do not want to talk about, like everything coming out of Joe Biden's mouth.
00:12:27.000You can't always control what's going on out there, but you can control what's going into your head with a pair of beautiful Raycon wireless earbuds in your ears.
00:12:35.000My team member, Mikey, he loves Raycons.
00:12:37.000He wears them all the time when he's working out, when he's walking around.
00:13:40.000But sometimes it's just important to kind of remind people the unfortunate brain-dead president that we have, which then, of course, makes it susceptible to another regime controlling him.
00:13:52.000Now, I want to get to this question here from Rick, though.
00:13:56.000Charlie, who's really running the country?
00:15:42.000Well, Stephen Miller spent the last four years in the White House as an advisor to Trump, and here's his explanation for it.
00:15:48.000Because he would know: quote: The reason Biden uses this bizarre virtual set for televised meetings, not an actual room like the East Room, the Cabinet, the Oval, the Roosevelt Sit Room, etc.
00:15:59.000The raisin does this is because it allows him to read a script directly from a face-on monitor and without teleprompter glass that can be seen on camera.
00:17:25.000Well, it's because Biden doesn't want to have a Netflix special after this.
00:17:32.000Biden's wife does not want to become president.
00:17:36.000Obama, who is the true power source of the American left, he has never stopped being that.
00:17:44.000Regardless of his maskless illegal parties that he's having in Martha's Vineyard, regardless of all these different aspects and components of this, let's not fool ourselves.
00:17:57.000People say, Charlie, who's running the country?
00:19:13.000Do you know that the product of USA tag has been stolen by foreign countries?
00:19:18.000They process their meat here and label it like it came from the United States.
00:19:22.000Because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat, over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.
00:19:30.000Good Ranchers is here to put America number one.

00:20:03.000Hey, look, when you guys go to goodranchers with an S.com slash Charlie, it fills three needs.
00:20:43.000Well, let me put your mind a little bit at ease.
00:20:46.000Unless you broke the law, this is all just about chilling and suppressing speech, trying to use the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Homeland Security to go after you because you've been showing up to school boards across the country.
00:21:01.000The government already has lists of extremists, dissidents, and people that they don't care for, that they are willing to use government power to try and eliminate.
00:21:15.000Rand Paul has said this for quite some time.
00:21:18.000In Cut 112, Rand Paul says to be afraid of your government and that a list of watch lists of dissenters already exists.
00:21:27.000You know, it would be helpful if more Senate Republicans actually took Rand Paul seriously and decided to get to the bottom of this.
00:21:36.000Instead, they're too busy voting for infrastructure or whatever.
00:21:45.000I'm very concerned, and I'm sure that there are people across the country who are concerned, that if they go to their local school board and say the wrong thing, that they're going to end up on some list that Merrick Garland goes after.
00:21:55.000What would you say to those people today?
00:22:09.000You make a list with the intent of trying to act on it.
00:22:14.000Jen Pesaki was asked about this, and she was asked, what do you think about the Department of Justice acquiescing to teacher unions who want to treat parents like domestic terrorists?
00:22:27.000Of course, she defends it and she deflects it.
00:22:30.000And when you go into the details of the actual memo from Merrick Garland, the details are so incredibly light.
00:22:41.000There's a couple examples here and there, if that, none of which are federal crimes, by the way.
00:22:47.000So why is this the FBI's jurisdiction?
00:22:49.000Why not just deal with local police if it's really that big of a deal?
00:22:52.000Technically, the FBI should only be involved if this is across state lines.
00:22:57.000If this was somehow something where people were trying to plant bombs in school board meetings.
00:23:16.000Does the administration agree that parents upset about their kids' curriculums could be considered domestic terrorists?
00:23:22.000What the Department of Justice said in a letter from the Attorney General is that, quote, threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation's core values.
00:23:57.000I wouldn't want the FBI to over-involve themselves in that.
00:24:01.000Use the proper levels of law enforcement as necessary.
00:24:06.000Meanwhile, Merrick Garland is under a lot of fire, and we were one of the first shows to actually break this story on how Merrick Garland's family has made a lot of money off of implementing critical race theory.
00:24:55.000What you do have to worry about, though, is them monitoring your internal communications and them trying to use this a means to the end to try to endlessly investigate anybody that they might disagree with.
00:25:11.000And I will say that I have been somewhat pleased with how almost every kind of camp of conservatives, including the kind of the moderate, weak vanilla conservatives, they have even been outraged at the DOJ's flexing of muscle here.
00:25:29.000The more Tucker Carlson wing of the conservative movement has been warning about this for quite some time, but not just overreach of government, but overreach of corporations and of business and the restricting of our freedoms and liberties.
00:25:45.000Sylvia from Austin, Texas, emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:25:50.000Charlie, a new poll shows that 41% of Biden voters and 52% of Trump voters at least somewhat agree that the time has come to split the country into red and blue states.
00:27:11.000University of Virginia Center for Politics polled.
00:27:14.000UVA surveyed 2,000 voters, half of whom voted for Trump, half for Biden, in late July, in order to get a better understanding of the growing split between the Democrat Party.
00:27:22.000So I ask people the question: what do I have in common with a BLM incorporated supporting transgender activist in San Francisco?
00:28:28.000And this is why what I believe the grassroots work that we are doing here in the Charlie Kirk Show to empower you to know what's going on, to spread this to your friends, of talking about the success stories, this is what's going to make the ultimate difference: a bottom-up strategy of people understanding what's happening and not falling for the bait from the ruling class.
00:28:49.000Two in 10 Trump voters and Biden voters strongly agree it'd be better if, quote, a president could take needed action without being constrained by Congress or the courts.
00:28:59.00080% of respondents from each party saying the opposing side presents a clear and present danger to American democracy.
00:29:06.00080% of more survey respondents said they're worried that someone at close-in will experience, quote, personal loss or suffering due to the effects of opposing parties' policies.
00:29:16.000Illustrating the extent of the underlying divide, nearly 90% of people on both sides agree that people like them won't belong in America anymore if the other side has its way and has more than one in five say they agree completely that such is the case.
00:29:43.000Let's say new, fresh, unique, willing to entertain creative options, not a bunch of Republicans that just want to talk about trillion-dollar infrastructure packages, keeping the borders wide open, and cutting corporate taxes.
00:30:11.000The Age of Entitlement by Christopher Caldwell, one of the best books that I encourage you to read.
00:30:15.000Half the country believes the Constitution should respect individual rights.
00:30:19.000The other believes that there should be a Constitution that respects grievance, the mobilization of grievances, the loudest voice in the room, and victimhood-type politics.
00:30:31.000It's either you believe that people are entitled to other people's property, or you believe that you are entitled to the ability to earn your own property, to take risks, speech, the right to liberty and life given to you by God.
00:30:50.000One side believes in a constitution of government-given rights.
00:30:55.000The other side believes in a constitution of God-granted rights.
00:31:38.000They're emptying out their prisons into the United States.
00:31:41.000Their jails, some of the toughest people on earth are being dumped into the United States because they don't want them.
00:31:48.000They don't want to take care of them for the next 40 years.
00:31:51.000So these people that are the roughest prisoners there are anywhere are being dumped into the United States for us to take care of them.
00:32:01.000And of course, when Donald Trump tried to solve the southern border crisis, and he did, they had an entire crisis of kids in cages, even though that did not happen.
00:32:09.000And yet, we now have way worse conditions than kids in cages.
00:32:13.000Of course, the regime media doesn't care.
00:32:18.000Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, the last college, the place of liberty and freedom, they have four purposes.
00:32:25.000Learning, character, faith, and freedom.
00:32:27.000Education and faith thrive in freedom, and freedom requires an educated people, a people of good character, to preserve it.
00:32:34.000Hillsdale College has been providing the education needed to preserve free government for over 175 years.
00:32:41.000It continues to provide that education today, not only to its 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students, but nationwide through its free online courses, its support of classical K-12 charter schools, and its other outreach efforts on behalf of liberty.
00:32:55.000Hillsdale's Articles of Association, dating back to 1844, commit the college to preserving the blessings of civil and religious liberty through the provision of sound learning.
00:33:07.000This learning includes the Constitution.
00:33:09.000It includes the laws of nature and nature's God as described in the Declaration of Independence.
00:33:15.000It includes America's beautiful heritage of liberty that too often is falsely derided or denied.
00:33:22.000I'm actually going to be at Hillsdale College in just a couple days.
00:33:25.000And Hillsdale's model is pursuing truth and defending liberty since 1844.
00:33:30.000It will continue to fight to live up to that motto, come what may.
00:33:33.000Check out the Beacon of the North, the place that is so beautiful you won't believe it.
00:33:37.000They have statues of Frederick Douglass, Winston Churchill, George Washington, Maggie Thatcher, Hillsdale College, the place where liberty and truth are defended.
00:34:18.000Do you think Fauci Biden and the crew knew that Pfizer was covering this up?
00:34:22.000And if so, how could our leaders lie to us like that?
00:34:25.000Well, they lie with the ease of breathing.
00:34:29.000Unfortunately, that is the way that the ruling class operates in this country.
00:34:33.000And it's really unfortunate to say that.
00:34:36.000I don't know what the recourse could be.
00:34:38.000I know a lot of people are talking about lawsuits and kind of restitution.
00:34:43.000There will be a significant amount of legal action and, I think, movement coming from this point forward.
00:34:49.000But so far, the courts have been lackluster when it comes to the vaccine issue, citing the Jacobson v. Massachusetts decision, which, by the way, was used by Justice Louis Brandeis in the 1920s as a reasoning and as a basis to forcibly sterilize over 60,000 idiot women.
00:35:12.000The very same decision, Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which allowed the government to force vaccinations, was used as precedent to sterilize women against their will because they were idiot women.
00:35:29.000That was when eugenics ran the country, and that's where we're headed back to.
00:36:40.000Chris Wallace on Fox News on the September jobs report, cut 117.
00:36:46.000Numbers, those are very bad for Joe Biden.
00:36:48.000Look, these are tough votes for moderates spending so much money, for progressives not spending as much money as they want.
00:36:55.000It's a lot easier to vote for a president.
00:36:58.000Hold your nose whether you think it's too much or too little if a president has an approval rating in the high 50s or even in the low 60s when he's at 38% approval.
00:37:42.000Their intentions are not our intentions.
00:37:45.000They want a different type of America.
00:37:46.000They want an America where entrepreneurship is not valued and government dependence is.
00:37:50.000They want to stay and remain in control.
00:37:53.000And the activists amongst their ranks, Rashida Talib, Bayana Presley, Alexandria Casio-Cotez, they believe that it's all part of breaking the back of a colonialist, racist, misogynistic, and imperialistic system that will then allow the mass redistribution of wealth to the victimized groups that they pretend to represent.
00:38:16.000The economy is about to go through a much rougher patch than people realize.
00:38:21.000They want to spend another $4.7 trillion on top of it while we're already in the midst of an inflation cycle.
00:38:30.000Everybody, what did the founding fathers say about slavery?
00:38:33.000This incredible short from our friends at Hillsdale College, Charlie4Hillsdale.com.
00:38:38.000Everyone should go right now and register to the Hillsdale online courses.
00:38:41.000CharlieForhillsdale.com is this amazing little short right here might answer your questions and hopefully pique your curiosity to have you dive deeper into wisdom and the history of our country.
00:38:55.000What did the founding fathers say about slavery?
00:38:59.000Hamilton and Madison both referred to slaves as men.
00:39:03.000This is a critical insight because if slaves are men, if slaves are human beings, then that means that they have inalienable natural rights.
00:39:10.000And that means that slavery can only rest on the basis of positive law, that it's by definition an injustice, and they understood it as such.
00:39:20.000Thomas Jefferson, in one of the most famous statements on slavery to come out of the American founding, Query 18 in Notes on the State of Virginia, explains that slavery is at war with human nature and with justice.
00:39:34.000He says, it's bad for slaves because it teaches them to hate their country and it teaches them to lack self-assertion.
00:39:48.000It teaches them to have contempt for the rights of other human beings.
00:39:52.000And once they learn to have contempt for the rights of their slaves, they then transfer that and learn to have contempt for the rights of others who are not slaves.
00:40:06.000Jefferson says that we are so wrong on the question of slavery that it is certain that God will punish us if we don't get it right.
00:40:15.000In fact, he says if it ever came down to a contest between slaves and masters over the future of the country, Jefferson says, quote, the Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest, end quote.
00:40:30.000So, in short, we can see pretty quickly that the Founding Fathers understood that they had a colossal problem on their hands, that slavery was a massive injustice, and they understood it as such.
00:40:43.000What did the founders do about slavery?
00:40:46.000Because again, to say that they did not end slavery altogether is not the same as saying that they did nothing about it.
00:40:55.000For instance, during the founding and early American period, nine states became free states.
00:41:03.000All of the states, the original states, north of Maryland, so from Pennsylvania northward, became free states, abolished slavery in one way or another.
00:41:12.000Slave states eased their manumission laws.
00:41:15.000And a manumission is simply an individual act of emancipation where an individual owner frees an individual slave.
00:41:22.000So it was made easier to free one's slaves in the southern states that retained slavery.
00:41:28.000And as a result, thousands of slaves were manumitted.
00:41:31.000Now, this does not end the institution of slavery altogether, but it is certainly important to you if you are one of those thousands who was manumitted during this period.
00:41:42.000We also see instances of southern courts favoring the claims of slaves who were suing for their freedom.
00:41:50.000In fact, this is how the Dred Scott case got its start in the Missouri state courts.
00:41:57.000In ruling against Dred Scott in 1850, the Missouri Supreme Court admitted that if Dred Scott's case had come before the court, say, 10 years earlier, they most certainly would have freed him.
00:42:10.000But times had changed, and so they were no longer honoring the friendly agreement that they had with free states to respect the laws of those states because of the intensification of the slavery controversy.
00:42:22.000There were also reforms in the slave states that tended to recognize the humanity of slaves.
00:42:28.000By the beginning of the 19th century, North Carolina had reformed its laws so that killing a slave carried the same penalty as killing a free person.
00:42:37.000It was still hard to obtain a conviction, but at least this is a recognition that a slave is in fact a human being and not an article of livestock.
00:42:46.000There was the abolition of the slave trade, which was legally abolished in 1807 and the abolition took effect in 1808.
00:42:54.000Later on, the slave trade was declared to be piracy, making it a death penalty offense.
00:42:59.000This was a law which was extremely hard to enforce in the age of sale, but at least you have a declaration of a commitment to end this inhumane practice.
00:43:08.000If one looks to the Constitution itself, one notices that conspicuously absent from the entire Constitution, including the provisions that deal directly with slavery, is the word slave in any variation.
00:43:22.000Madison, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln all came to the same conclusion about why this was the case.
00:43:28.000They did not want to taint the document with any implication that slavery existed, so that if someone came along in the future without any particular knowledge of our history or politics, they could not read the original Constitution and know that slavery had been a part of it.
00:43:44.000If one turns to the particular provisions in the Constitution that deal with slavery, we also can see ambiguities and compromises that reflect the founders' desire to see slavery gradually removed from our society.
00:44:01.000The importation clause in Article 1, Section 9, was looked upon by many people as a death sentence for slavery.
00:44:09.000It was widely believed at the time that slave populations could not be self-sustaining, that only continual importation would allow slavery to survive in a particular community.
00:44:20.000And so many people, such as James Wilson, believed that cutting off the slave trade killed slavery itself.
00:44:27.000And that proved to be largely true in many places, except in America.
00:44:31.000In America, the slave population, contrary to expectations, proved to be self-supporting.
00:44:36.000Finally, if one is looking at what the founders did about slavery, perhaps the most important thing that they did about slavery was to pass a piece of legislation called the Northwest Ordinance.
00:44:47.000So the Northwest Territory was the full area in which the federal government could control slavery, and the Northwest Ordinance banned it in perpetuity.
00:44:58.000And it was passed by a large margin in Congress both times under both forms of government.
00:45:04.000This was significant in a number of ways.
00:45:07.000Indiana, when it petitioned for statehood, asked for the right to be exempt from the Northwest Ordinance.
00:45:13.000Now, one does not ask for that exception if one wants to be a free state.
00:45:17.000And the federal government told them that they were not exempted.
00:45:19.000They could remain free under the Northwest Ordinance or they could become a free state.
