00:01:31.000 I want to get to your questions here.
00:01:33.000 That you've emailed me: freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:37.000 Harry from North Dakota has emailed me, Charlie.
00:01:40.000 What is going on with Project Veritas?
00:01:42.000 It's all very confusing and scary.
00:01:45.000 Thanks so much.
00:01:45.000 Probably listening on the wonderful Flag Radio Network.
00:01:50.000 What's happening with Project Veritas and James O'Keefe is an unprecedented story happening in real time.
00:01:56.000 There's a lot of details to this story.
00:01:58.000 But first, let's introduce the actors.
00:02:00.000 Of course, James O'Keefe and Project Veritas, both of which have been regular guests on this show.
00:02:06.000 James O'Keefe is a journalist and has had numerous stories throughout the years of whether it be unveiling voter fraud, whether it be going after the pharmaceutical companies, which I think is really what irritated them lately, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, whether it be going after the voter fraud apparatus, all these sorts of things.
00:02:27.000 James O'Keefe is an undercover journalist at Project Veritas.
00:02:31.000 And last week, Project Veritas journalists got a knock on the door.
00:02:37.000 And on the other side were FBI agents with battering rams like the SS that stormed into Project Veritas journalists' homes, but it did not stop there.
00:02:46.000 The next morning, on Saturday morning, again, early at James O'Keefe's home, they raided James O'Keefe's home all in search of a diary that would at most constitute petty theft.
00:03:00.000 So, why is the Federal Bureau of Investigation knocking down doors and putting people in handcuffs and confiscating devices all for a diary that was questionable of its efficacy in the first place?
00:03:13.000 That James O'Keefe never actually even ran.
00:03:16.000 He never ran the story.
00:03:17.000 He could not verify its authenticity.
00:03:20.000 And therefore, James O'Keefe did not run with it in any way, shape, or form.
00:03:28.000 And so, this begs a lot of different questions.
00:03:30.000 And the first one that we need to kind of walk through is who's going to hold the FBI accountable when they start knocking down doors of journalists that they don't like.
00:03:41.000 We have another question of Ryan here from Arizona.
00:03:44.000 Charlie, who's going to cross-examine the FBI?
00:03:47.000 The answer is currently no one.
00:03:49.000 And quite honestly, it seems as if the Republicans in Congress are more interested in passing infrastructure packages than asking why Joe Biden secret police are going after journalists they don't like.
00:04:00.000 Play cut 20, Fox report on the FBI investigation of Project Veritas and how the diary that apparently belongs to Joe Biden's daughter.
00:04:07.000 Play cut 20.
00:04:08.000 On Friday, O'Keeffe acknowledged Project Veritas is under investigation by the Justice Department over the apparent theft of a diary reportedly belonging to Ashley Biden, President Biden's daughter.
00:04:21.000 Just days before the 2020 presidential election, pages from the diary were published by a right-wing website, which reportedly has ties to O'Keeffe.
00:04:31.000 The site claims it received the diary from Project Veritas.
00:04:35.000 O'Keeffe says a copy of the diary was leaked to Project Veritas by a whistleblower, but they chose not to publish it because they could not verify its authenticity.
00:04:45.000 Now, we've gone through in great detail.
00:04:47.000 The New York Times published Trump's tax returns against U.S. federal law, whether it be the Pentagon Papers or the Panama Papers.
00:04:55.000 There are numerous examples of journalists publishing classified and illegal material and not going to jail for it.
00:05:02.000 Journalists are always carved out with First Amendment exemptions, but not James O'Keefe.
00:05:07.000 And the story gets even stranger and creepier and in a way, and more dangerous and more urgent.
00:05:18.000 But first, let's play cut 39, James O'Keefe on the great Sean Hannity's program, talking about how the FBI is raiding his and other Project Veritas journalists.
00:05:27.000 So basically, Joe Biden gets to deploy his secret police, the FBI, otherwise known as the SS right now, which pains me to say because there are so many good members of the FBI in the boots, not in the suits, that go knock on doors in the Southern District of New York to then go after James O'Keefe because they don't like his politics and he unveils stories that they don't appreciate.
00:05:52.000 Play cut 36.
00:05:54.000 By making this statement, I am putting myself at great risk because on November 4th, Project Veritas came under attack.
00:06:01.000 I awoke to the news that apartments and homes of Project Veritas journalists, or former journalists, had been raided by FBI agents.
00:06:09.000 It appears the Southern District of New York now has journalists in their sites for the supposed crime of doing their jobs lawfully and honestly, or at least this journalist.
00:06:20.000 But it gets even stranger than that.
00:06:23.000 So then the New York Times writes an article about 12 hours ago, 12 to 19 hours ago, where the New York Times wrote this article, Project Veritas and the line between journalism and political spying.
00:06:37.000 Now, I don't know what the New York Times was thinking of writing this article.
00:06:39.000 This article is by Adam Goldman and Mark Mazzetti.
00:06:44.000 But in the third paragraph of this piece for the New York Times, the New York Times writes the following.
00:06:50.000 Project Veritas has long occupied a gray area between investigative journalism and political spying.
00:06:56.000 And internal documents obtained by the New York Times reveal the extent to which the group has worked with lawyers to gauge how far its deceptive reporting practices can go before running afoul of federal laws.
00:07:11.000 The documents, a series of memos written by the group's lawyer, details ways for Project Veritas sting operations would typically diverge from standard journalistic practices by employing people who repmass their real identities.
00:07:23.000 Hold on a second.
00:07:24.000 They're looking at private, confidential, and privileged memos.
00:07:30.000 How did they get them?
00:07:32.000 How did the New York Times get their hands on confidential and privileged attorney-client communications, a sacred element of the American justice system?
00:07:44.000 How did the New York Times get their hands on attorney-client privileged material?
00:07:49.000 Is it legal for the New York Times to get their hands on attorney-client privilege material?
00:07:53.000 Now, mind you, the same thing we saw in the Kyle Rittenhouse story, where they are going after the Fifth Amendment rights of Kyle Rittenhouse, and the judge decided to defend the Constitution.
00:08:03.000 The New York Times is now going after another core component of the American judicial order and tradition, attorney-client privilege.
00:08:12.000 And what's the big bombshell?
00:08:14.000 The New York Times says that Project Veritas asks their lawyers if it's legal, the stories they're going to run.
00:08:21.000 That's it.
00:08:22.000 But instead, the New York Times, I think, unintentionally revealed that they are getting information from some unseemly sources.
00:08:33.000 Now, we're going to play cut 133 of Harmeet Dylan, who's Project Veritas' lawyer.
00:08:37.000 But before we play that, I want you to understand that the FBI and Department of Justice confiscated James O'Keefe's phones.
00:08:46.000 They were uploading James O'Keefe's data to some sort of database at the FBI.
00:08:51.000 A judge just intervened and said they're not allowed to do that.
00:08:56.000 And then, strangely, the New York Times all of a sudden has privileged and confidential memos.
00:09:03.000 If your conversations with your lawyer are not privileged, the justice system as we know it is gone.
00:09:14.000 Play cut 133.
00:09:16.000 You know, what we have right now is a very disturbing situation of the U.S. Attorney's Office and/or the FBI tipping off the New York Times to each of the raids on Project Veritas's current and former employees last week.
00:09:28.000 We know that because minutes after these raids occurred, they got calls from the New York Times, which is the only journalism outlet that knew about it.
00:09:35.000 And they published this hit piece today, which is really despicable.
00:09:38.000 I don't think I've ever seen this low from the New York Times before to publish people's private legal communications.
00:09:44.000 So, the New York Times publishes private and privileged legal communications, which I don't think is legal.
00:09:53.000 I don't mean legal communications, meaning lawyer league communications, communication between the lawyer.
00:09:58.000 I don't think you're allowed to do that.
00:10:01.000 But then, the New York Times is accusing James O'Keefe of being a spying operation.
00:10:07.000 How did you get his communications with his lawyer?
00:10:13.000 One could assume and one could make the argument that the FBI is leaking privileged memos to the New York Times to destroy James O'Keefe.
00:10:25.000 Now, look, James O'Keefe has known the work that he's been involved in has been he's made enemies all up and down the ladder, from union bosses to Democrat political operatives to Governor Murphy to Pfizer to the Department of Homeland Security.
00:10:43.000 James O'Keefe has picked some massive fights.
00:10:47.000 And if you do that as a journalist, let it be known.
00:10:50.000 Joe Biden will send his secret police after you.
00:10:56.000 I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.
00:11:00.000 You could stop imagining because it's a reality.
00:11:03.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.
00:11:09.000 Why?
00:11:09.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their businesses and robbing you of the quality and flavor that you deserve.
00:11:15.000 That's why Good Ranchers is here.
00:11:16.000 They exist to support local American farms that help you make great American meals.

00:12:58.000 So I'm not done with the Project Veritas story.
00:13:02.000 So Project Veritas is probably the greatest thorn in the side of the American ruling class.
00:13:10.000 To give you an idea, James O'Keefe has successfully exposed the VARES database, Health and Human Services, Pfizer, the vaccination of children, critical race theory, wokeism in the military, Hasborough, which is making toys for children, and how that they are implementing critical race theory within the manufacturing of toys for children.
00:13:32.000 James O'Keefe has fought every major fight imaginable.
00:13:37.000 And yeah, he's upset some people along the way.
00:13:40.000 James O'Keefe has made the biggest enemies you could possibly make, including Joe Biden.
00:13:45.000 James O'Keefe seems to be hitting home run after home run, and we have him on our show to celebrate those victories because many people in the activist press and even many people in the establishment write.
00:13:55.000 They aren't so keen to actually celebrating the great work of Project Veritas, a legitimate journalist organization.
00:14:06.000 And so, therefore, because of all the enemies that James has made, he has been targeted and listed for destruction.
00:14:14.000 And make no mistake, this is the way it works.
00:14:16.000 Joe Biden and the regime, they have had James O'Keefe's name on a piece of paper encircled for quite some time.
00:14:23.000 They want him gone.
00:14:25.000 They want him done.
00:14:28.000 And now, so thankfully, James O'Keefe is rather smart and he's careful.
00:14:32.000 He is not reckless.
00:14:34.000 He knows the fights that he's been picking.
00:14:35.000 He knows the people he's been exposing.
00:14:39.000 And so James O'Keefe came across and was exposed to this diary of Ashley Biden, which we were told was fake at the time, which obviously it isn't.
00:14:50.000 It's not fake.
00:14:51.000 It's probably very real, real enough that you're trying to mobilize the entire apparatus of the United States government to try to law enforcement government to try to prevent the either publication or the dissemination of such product.
00:15:09.000 And so what we have in the kind of unveiling and the rolling out of this story is you realize that James O'Keefe didn't publish anything.
00:15:24.000 That James O'Keefe did not monetize the diary.
00:15:32.000 He did not publish the diary.
00:15:34.000 No, instead, James O'Keefe was a lot more prudent and decided that it probably wasn't a good idea to run with the story.
00:15:43.000 But they saw their opening.
00:15:45.000 The regime saw their opening and they decided to raid James O'Keefe's home.
00:15:50.000 But I have a theory that the true motive behind going after James O'Keefe in this raid was not the diary.
00:15:59.000 The diary was an excuse.
00:16:01.000 They wanted James O'Keefe's phone.
00:16:05.000 They wanted the phone and the device of James O'Keefe for a very specific reason.
00:16:12.000 They wanted to get insight into what stories he's working on, and they wanted to try to go through all of his communications to try to see if there might be one opening, one weak spot where they could indict him.
00:16:25.000 They wanted to try to get to James O'Keefe's phone for a very specific reason.
00:16:30.000 They wanted to see that through all of his private communications, his emails, his text messages, his phone calls, is there something possibly where they could find something in the millions of data points in James O'Keefe's phone that might run awry or against the U.S. criminal code.
00:16:47.000 That's what they really wanted.
00:16:48.000 That's the motivation.
00:16:51.000 And the motivation is exactly why the Department of Justice has to be stopped before uploading all that information.
00:16:58.000 But then as almost like a warning shot, the New York Times suspiciously comes across all of the privileged information of James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.
00:17:08.000 How'd they get that information?
00:17:09.000 Someone has to answer for this.
00:17:12.000 You're not allowed just to knock down a door because of suspicion.
00:17:14.000 You have someone's diary.
00:17:16.000 It's like, oh, yeah, by the way, you have a diary that we want, or we think you have a diary we want.
00:17:23.000 Therefore, we can kick your door in.
00:17:25.000 By the way, how about the unequal application of door kicking?
00:17:29.000 Do you think that they would go kick a diary in for just a random person?
00:17:33.000 How about Edward Durr?
00:17:35.000 Edward Durr from New Jersey.
00:17:38.000 If Edward Durr lost his diary, do you think the FBI would go on a manhunt for that diary?
00:17:43.000 So why do they go on a manhunt for the president's daughter's diary?
00:17:48.000 Is there classified information?
00:17:49.000 Is there nuclear codes in the diary?
00:17:53.000 Is there troop movements in the diary?
00:17:55.000 Is there information about how the Taliban got $85 billion in that diary?
00:17:59.000 Or is it that there's something that's potentially politically incriminating in there and embarrassing that make a public display that if you dare even think about going after his daughter's diary, petty theft, you're getting your door kicked in and your device is going to be confiscated.
00:18:17.000 Every Republican in the country needs to be outraged about this.
00:18:22.000 And instead, I'm seeing silence.
00:18:26.000 Charlie Kirk here, and I've warned you about home title theft, where cyber thieves remove you from your homes title and you become the owner.
00:18:34.000 Like I said, you better get home title lock because it's coming.
00:18:37.000 Well, if you are on Facebook, that big data breach is here.
00:18:42.000 Facebook has 500 million accounts that were exposed to cyber thieves.
00:18:45.000 And according to a retired FBI cyber crime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was leaked.
00:18:51.000 Name, address, personal information, and more, it's out there.
00:18:54.000 The thief forges your signature on a quick claim deed stating you sold your home to him.
00:18:57.000 He'll leave you in debt or even have you evicted.
00:18:59.000 Do what I did in protect your homes title, hometitalock.com.
00:19:02.000 Go to hometitalock.com and register your address, see if you're already a victim.
00:19:05.000 Then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach.
00:19:08.000 Again, go to home titlelock.com, promo code radio.
00:19:11.000 That's home titlelock.com, promo code radio.
00:19:13.000 There's a lot of data out there.
00:19:14.000 There's a lot of things that you got to sort out right now.
00:19:17.000 So go to home titlelock.com.
00:19:19.000 Protect yourself.
00:19:20.000 Protect your family.
00:19:22.000 Protect your well-being at home titlelock.com, promo code radio.
00:19:29.000 You're not seeing a huge support from institutional Republicans around Project Veritas because they are actually part of the very same apparatus that Project Veritas tries to expose.
00:19:42.000 The intelligence apparatus, the deep state, all those different things that Project Veritas attempts to try to expose.
00:19:49.000 Many moderate Republicans actually have a very favorable opinion of those different agencies.
00:19:57.000 Okay, let's get to another question here.
00:19:59.000 We're going to stay on top of the James O'Keefe story.
00:20:02.000 Nikki from Tampa Bay.
00:20:03.000 Hey, Charlie, I saw a video apparently of a professor at Old Dominion University talking about something called a minor attracted person or MAP.
00:20:12.000 Isn't someone who's attracted to minors a pedophile?
00:20:15.000 Yes.
00:20:15.000 Why should we be okay letting someone like that teach our kids?
00:20:19.000 So, this video is hitting the rounds.
00:20:21.000 It does not surprise me.
00:20:23.000 I deal a lot on college campuses.
00:20:25.000 I know what parents go into debt for.
00:20:28.000 I know kind of why I know what kids learn from, which is not much.
00:20:31.000 So, this is at Old Dominion University.
00:20:34.000 Now, mind you, Old Dominion University would not necessarily be the stereotypical, most radical university on the planet.
00:20:44.000 It's a public school, it's in Norfolk, Virginia.
00:20:50.000 It's one of the largest universities in Virginia.
00:20:53.000 But little do people know that Old Dominion has pedophile apologists on their staff.
00:21:01.000 So, this is a professor.
00:21:03.000 This is someone who's in charge of teaching your children.
00:21:07.000 And play cut 136 of this person.
00:21:11.000 I do not know the gender of this person saying that we need to reframe the way we look at pedophiles.
00:21:17.000 Cut 136.
00:21:19.000 So much for that question.
00:21:20.000 I use the term minor attracted person or map in the title and throughout the book for multiple reasons.
00:21:26.000 First of all, because I think it's important to use terminology for groups that members of that group want others to use for them.
00:21:34.000 And MAP advocacy groups like Before You Act have advocated for use of the term map.
00:21:40.000 They've advocated for it primarily because it's less stigmatizing than other terms like pedophile.
00:21:47.000 A lot of people, when they hear the term pedophile, they automatically assume that it means a sex offender.
00:21:52.000 And that isn't true.
00:21:53.000 And it leads to a lot of misconceptions about attractions toward minors.
00:21:58.000 I've definitely heard the idea that you brought up, though, that the use of the term minor attractive person suggests that it's okay to be attracted to children.
00:22:06.000 But using a term that communicates who someone is attracted to doesn't indicate anything about the morality of that attraction.
00:22:13.000 Unbelievable.
00:22:15.000 This is a person who's a professor.
00:22:17.000 There should be a stigma around pedophiles.
00:22:20.000 And there should be a stigma around people who are attracted to minors.
00:22:22.000 They're sickos.
00:22:23.000 They should be in mental hospitals or in prison.
00:22:27.000 No, no, no.
00:22:28.000 We need to destigmatize minor attractive persons.
00:22:31.000 We've been warning about this for quite some time: that there is this strange decriminalization movement.
00:22:37.000 We saw that in California in the midst of the pandemic when Gavin Newsome signed the decriminalization of pedophilia bill and this very strange movement.
00:22:44.000 And this is not just some one-off activist.
00:22:46.000 This person is in charge of the education of your children at Old Dominion University, saying that we need to have a new framing, not call people pedophiles, but instead we need to have the legalizing of childlike sex dolls and routinely comparing pedophilia to a form and acceptable version of sexuality.
00:23:12.000 This is where we're headed.
00:23:14.000 When you do not have the moral guardrails on society, do not be surprised and all of a sudden you have professors, college professors, you just heard from a college professor that is arguing and advocating for the normalization of pedophilia.
00:23:30.000 You can keep on emailing us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:23:35.000 So I want to get to this study here.
00:23:37.000 This is in relation to a question that Mark from Texas has asked us.
00:23:43.000 He says, Charlie, talk more about how young people are miserable and unhappy.
00:23:49.000 I just don't get it.
00:23:51.000 Thanks so much, Mark.
00:23:53.000 So there's a new study out today, and I think it's actually from the Center for American Progress, which is a super left-wing think tank that is a kind of piggyback piece off of what we talked about earlier this week about the gayest generation in American history, where 40% of young people consider themselves to be lesbian, bisexual, or gay.
00:24:17.000 And this new story out shows that more than two in three of members of Generation Z reported poor physical health that kept them from their daily activities.
00:24:29.000 Where, and get this, this is incredible.
00:24:32.000 81% of members of Generation Z feel at least a couple days a week so sad that nothing could cheer them up.
00:24:42.000 81% of members of Generation Z say 81% they're so sad that nothing can cheer them up, versus baby boomers where 71% say they never feel that way ever.
00:24:57.000 90 86 of Generation Z feels nervous most days of the week.
00:25:06.000 86 percent 95 of Generation Z say that negative feelings interfere with their daily life or activities.
00:25:17.000 And then poor physical health, 70 or two in three and 66 percent say that bad physical health has kept them from daily activities.
00:25:28.000 It's the most inactive suicidal, depressed and medicated generation in American history.
00:25:34.000 And we were told that we need to legalize marijuana and give everyone access to unfettered access to internet pornography and everything's going to get better.
00:25:45.000 No actually, you have the most anxious nervous, directionless and purposeless generation in American history and people say, well, you know, it's a mental health issue.
00:25:54.000 You better believe it's a mental health issue.
00:25:57.000 They have no purpose because they've been told to reject things that give them objective meaning and value.
00:26:05.000 And it's also a result of neoliberalism and unfettered licentiousness.
00:26:13.000 We have piles of plastic and meaningless textile shirts as far as the eye can see.
00:26:22.000 We have screens in every pocket and we have a broken people.
00:26:27.000 We got vaccines in every arm, marijuana that will be delivered to your doorstep if you ask, and it's the most anxious, depressed generation in American history.
00:26:38.000 And I don't say this to depress people, I don't, but I hope I can wake up some parents that are listening to this right now.
00:26:45.000 You have no idea how bad we have created a society In a set of circumstances.
00:26:50.000 And so, you know, people say, well, Charlie, what does that look like?
00:26:53.000 How about this?
00:26:54.000 If your six-year-old wants gender transition surgery, you tell them to knock it off.
00:26:58.000 How about that?
00:26:59.000 If your five-year-old's like, oh, I'm a dolphin.
00:27:01.000 No, you're not a dolphin, actually.
00:27:04.000 If your 14-year-old all of a sudden wants to sit around and watch TV and play video games all day long or gets into drugs, you as a parent come in aggressively and start to parent them and stop being their friend.
00:27:14.000 You're not their counsel.
00:27:15.000 You're their parent.
00:27:16.000 Give them direction, especially young men.
00:27:19.000 And then you'll start to actually see things start to naturally heal themselves.
00:27:22.000 So you have incredibly anxious and nervous women because they have to start to act like men because all the men are metrosexual losers.
00:27:28.000 Not all the men, but so many young men are metrosexual losers now because they've been told to be.
00:27:33.000 No direction, no purpose, no understanding of right or wrong.
00:27:36.000 So they just self-medicate drugs, alcohol, other addictive patterns of behavior.
00:27:43.000 And not to mention the most obvious thing, it's the least religious generation in American history.
00:27:48.000 So you remove religion and you remove Christianity and everyone gets piles of plastic they don't care about and a screen in their pocket and you go do drugs that don't really matter and they start walking around.
00:27:59.000 They say, what's the purpose to life?
00:28:01.000 There's actually a really important purpose to life.
00:28:03.000 It's the pursuit of the good, the defense of liberty, understanding of beauty, and finding yourself in a transcendent order.
00:28:10.000 It's a tragedy when you look at this.
00:28:13.000 Because we now have the most wealthy society in history.
00:28:19.000 We can get cars on delivery.
00:28:21.000 We can get Uber.
00:28:21.000 Look at that.
00:28:22.000 We can get marijuana on demand.
00:28:25.000 We can find any show we want to show and a generation is miserable.
00:28:30.000 Maybe the more stuff we've had and the more we've engaged in neoliberalism, internationalist trade policies and mass immigration, it's actually made people more depressed.
00:28:40.000 Maybe us worshiping at the altar of GDP and stock prices has actually made people really disconnected from reality.
00:28:49.000 Churches and temples have lower attendance than ever before.
00:28:54.000 Victor Frankl, who is the author of the wonderful book, Man's Search for Meaning, and also is the creator of something called logotherapy.
00:29:02.000 He made the argument of will to meaning.
00:29:05.000 He said that this creates an existential vacuum.
00:29:08.000 If you do not believe in a transcendent higher order, that there are some things that are greater than others, that you should try to pursue, that you should be pious and reverent and self-controlled towards a greater good, then you will be miserable, especially if you're a 17-year-old.
00:29:22.000 And honestly, shame on parents that have indulged in this garbage with their kids.
00:29:27.000 You don't need religion.
00:29:29.000 I'm going to listen to my kids and I'm going to give them what they want.
00:29:32.000 Look at the stats.
00:29:33.000 The stats are stunning.
00:29:35.000 They take your breath away.
00:29:38.000 That nearly 75% of Generation Z say that they feel sad more days than they feel happy.
00:29:47.000 Not to mention the cost of the lockdowns, the student loan issue, the propaganda campaign in the public school system.
00:29:54.000 You could throw all that into there.
00:29:57.000 But the one thing that quite honestly transcends more than anything else is religion.
00:30:07.000 The combination of the mind, body, soul, or mind, body, spirit.
00:30:12.000 You remove that.
00:30:14.000 There will be an existential vacuum.
00:30:19.000 You just become mind and body.
00:30:23.000 Your entire society will go to bedlam and will be in a moral hurricane.
00:30:32.000 Look, we all complain about the woke industrial complex.
00:30:36.000 The woke Marxists that are running our schools, that are running media, and yes, also running our banks.
00:30:45.000 You see, look, the real estate market, it's red hot.
00:30:49.000 Tyler, he just sold his home and he said, Charlie, I've never seen the market so unbelievable.
00:30:53.000 So maybe you want to go buy a home.
00:30:55.000 Maybe they're taking advantage of low interest rates.
00:30:58.000 With all the economic uncertainty underway, people need to invest in real stuff.
00:31:03.000 So here's a rule of thumb.
00:31:05.000 We here are a solution-based show.
00:31:07.000 So if you don't like the woke nonsense, stop using the woke banks.
00:31:13.000 It's that simple.
00:31:14.000 No more Wells Fargo.
00:31:15.000 No more JP Morgan.
00:31:17.000 No more Goldman Sachs.
00:31:19.000 No more big bank culture.
00:31:21.000 Instead, I have these two great friends, and they do a great job.
00:31:25.000 It's Andrew and Todd, Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian.
00:31:29.000 They love the Lord.
00:31:29.000 They are Christians.
00:31:30.000 They are honest.
00:31:31.000 They are straight shooters.
00:31:33.000 And they are on a mission to make sure that you guys can refinance, but be told the truth.
00:31:37.000 Look, when I took out mortgages for the properties that I have, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever been through.
00:31:43.000 Yeah, some of the people were very nice, but I could tell you the bank itself was just so bureaucratic and hard to work with.
00:31:50.000 My producer, Andrew, is working right now with Andrew and Todd to fight against the woke banking culture.
00:31:56.000 And he tells me that they're part counselors, part financial counselors, planners, and they're really helping him.
00:32:02.000 So here's the thing: Andrew and Todd are mortgage bankers.
00:32:05.000 They're not brokers.
00:32:06.000 That means Andrew and Todd and their team can take care of your loan personally from start to finish.
00:32:11.000 You'll likely actually talk to Andrew and Todd yourself.
00:32:14.000 So right now, maybe you're walking or you're like, I want to refinance the home, or maybe I'm under the process.
00:32:18.000 Stop it.
00:32:19.000 No more Wells Fargo.
00:32:20.000 They're funding a billion dollars.
00:32:21.000 The BLM Incorporated drives me nuts.
00:32:23.000 Bank of America shut off a U.S. Senate candidate running who's running in Senate in Delaware to shut off their bank account.
00:32:29.000 Instead, let's support the good guys.
00:32:31.000 I know a lot of you right now say, Charlie, I want to support the good guys.
00:32:34.000 Let's do it together.
00:32:35.000 Okay.
00:32:35.000 So here's how you do it.
00:32:36.000 Go to andrewandodd.com.
00:32:37.000 That's pretty easy to remember, right?
00:32:39.000 Andrew, Todd, AndrewandTodd.com or call 888 888 1172.
00:32:43.000 That's 888 888 1172 and say, hey, I want to talk to Andrew and Todd.
00:32:47.000 Charlie Kirk told me to call.
00:32:48.000 In fact, I just had this unbelievable meeting with them.
00:32:50.000 We talk theology.
00:32:52.000 We talk the church.
00:32:53.000 They're conservative.
00:32:55.000 They're unbelievable.
00:32:56.000 And all you have to do is call them up.
00:32:57.000 Just go to AndrewandTodd.com, call 888 888 1172.
00:33:01.000 That's 888 888 1172 and say, Andrew or Todd, I would like to speak to you.
00:33:06.000 Charlie Kirk sent me.
00:33:07.000 And I'm telling you, you'll probably get them on the phone unless they're traveling or handling some crisis.
00:33:10.000 They take a lot of the phone calls themselves.
00:33:12.000 Great people.
00:33:13.000 AndrewandTodd.com.
00:33:14.000 No more woke banks.
00:33:16.000 Let's work together to crush the back of woke Wall Street and support the good guys.
00:33:20.000 AndrewandTodd.com.
00:33:24.000 This is a question from Brian from Kentucky.
00:33:28.000 Hey, Charlie, what is all this about racist roads?
00:33:31.000 I just don't get it.
00:33:32.000 What is going on?
00:33:33.000 It doesn't make any sense anymore.
00:33:35.000 Well, maybe you missed it or not, but Pete Buttigeg, the automaton that was built to be the head of Department of Transportation, what is his experience in the Department of Transportation?
00:33:47.000 Let me just say this: Edward Durr, being a truck driver, is far more qualified to be the head of the Department of Transportation than Pete Buttigieg.
00:33:53.000 Far more qualified.
00:33:55.000 He actually is driven on the interstate highway system.
00:33:58.000 He knows how to operate a truck.
00:33:59.000 Pete Buttigeg, the automaton that was basically born out of central casting of trying to be, I can't even describe it.
00:34:09.000 Someone who has been programmed to be a government bureaucrat his entire life.
00:34:15.000 Cut 49 says, if an underpass was constructed, such that a bus carrying mostly black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach or would have been in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices.
00:34:28.000 What?
00:34:29.000 Cut 49.
00:34:30.000 As to where we target those dollars, you know, I'm still surprised that some people were surprised when I pointed to the fact that if a highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a black neighborhood, or if an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach, or it would have been, in New York, was designed too low for it to pass by.
00:34:55.000 But that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices.
00:34:59.000 Obviously reflects racism.
00:35:01.000 Yeah.
00:35:01.000 Of course, why blame any other possible choice?
00:35:05.000 I don't know, funding, underpass requirements, city measures, city council.
00:35:09.000 No, no, no.
00:35:09.000 The only explanation would be that those crazy KKK white supremacists in New York, you know what?
00:35:16.000 They had a special 2 a.m. meeting to say, let's make the bridge low so that in a sweltering day of July heat, the black and Puerto Rican kids that go on a bus to go to the beach, they'll have to find another way to get there.
00:35:31.000 That's Pete Budig's message to you.
00:35:33.000 By the way, every Republican that voted for the infrastructure package, you just gave all that money to Pete Buttigieg to go rebuild racist roads.
00:35:43.000 That's what he was talking about.
00:35:45.000 Okay, let's go to some more questions here that we have freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:35:51.000 And by the way, here's a really simple question.
00:35:53.000 How did the white kids get to the beach?
00:35:54.000 Were they in lower buses?
00:35:57.000 Did they take the subway?
00:35:59.000 MSNBC says, good on Pete Budigeg for calling out America's racist roads.
00:36:05.000 Pete Buttigieg's acknowledgement that racism has historically played a role in the layout of America's cities.
00:36:09.000 Ridiculous.
00:36:09.000 It's garbage.
00:36:10.000 Nonsense.
00:36:10.000 It's totally untrue.
00:36:12.000 No evidence.
00:36:13.000 And now you have like Republicans being like, well, maybe we do have racist roads.
00:36:16.000 No, we don't.
00:36:17.000 We do not have racist roads.
00:36:19.000 The interstate highway system built by Dwight D. Eisenhower was not a, was not an attribute of white supremacy.
00:36:25.000 And the example that he gave is so ridiculous that we have bridge heights based on what black and Puerto Rican kids are there.
00:36:33.000 If it's too low, it affects everybody.
00:36:36.000 Ridiculous thing to say.
00:36:38.000 Okay, let's go to one more question here.
00:36:41.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com, all about school boards.
00:36:45.000 Charlie, can you give me a better understanding of the consequences of critical race theory in the schools?
00:36:54.000 Essentially, kind of what is going to be the political consequence of all of this?
00:36:58.000 Well, Cut 30, a Virginia mom says that the nail in the coffin for Terry McAuliffe was when he campaigned with the teacher union boss.
00:37:05.000 Remember, this is the creation of the new political party, the party of parents, the parents' party, play cut 30.
00:37:12.000 How did Terry McAuliffe handle the education part of everything?
00:37:16.000 Well, parents were very angry during school closures at the teachers' unions.
00:37:21.000 And for me, the nail in the coffin was on his last day of campaigning.
00:37:27.000 He brought the head of the teachers' union to his rally and she spoke.
00:37:30.000 And it was like someone just poked me right in the eye and said, you think you want to have a say in your education?
00:37:36.000 Well, you're not going to.
00:37:37.000 And that was the end of the political campaign for Terry McAuliffe.
00:37:45.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
