00:01:05.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:01:07.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:10.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:14.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:14.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:16.000 His spirit is love of this country.
00:01:17.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:23.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:24.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:33.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:36.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:45.000 Let's get to the first question here.
00:01:46.000 Hey, Charlie, I live in Scottsdale, and I'm starting to see a serious increase in homelessness, and no one wants to talk about it.
00:01:52.000 And our leaders don't seem keen to do anything about it.
00:01:56.000 It's nowhere near as bad as it is in New York City or Los Angeles.
00:02:00.000 But what should the conservative response be to homelessness so we can keep our state from turning into one big homeless camp?
00:02:06.000 Sheena from Arizona.
00:02:07.000 Look, I totally agree.
00:02:09.000 I think the toleration of homelessness is an indicator of societal decay.
00:02:14.000 I think a society that puts up with and tolerates open-air vagrancy, which by the way, is not good for the vagrants.
00:02:23.000 It's not good for society.
00:02:24.000 It's not good for communicable diseases.
00:02:26.000 It's not good for anyone.
00:02:28.000 It also brings down the morale.
00:02:30.000 It brings down the spirit of a nation to have to pass by individuals that are obviously dealing with problems.
00:02:39.000 We should have compassion for them.
00:02:41.000 We should help them.
00:02:42.000 But the world is not their home.
00:02:46.000 It is a symbol of public apathy that I don't care.
00:02:51.000 And I guess it doesn't impact me.
00:02:52.000 It actually does.
00:02:53.000 Either you live in a society or you live in a colony.
00:02:57.000 You either live in a country or you live in like a massive open-air market.
00:03:01.000 You're like, yeah, it's just about making money.
00:03:03.000 As long as I have my chauffeur cars, I don't care how many people I drive by.
00:03:06.000 Actually, I care.
00:03:09.000 I think it sends a signal, especially to young people, that your society is unraveling.
00:03:17.000 The least compassionate thing we could do for these people is to leave them to sleep on the street.
00:03:22.000 Many of these people are dealing with alcohol and drug issues and the whole fight around homelessness and the people that are kind of they call themselves homeless advocates.
00:03:32.000 They have done nothing but created more homelessness, lower living conditions for these people.
00:03:37.000 And never do they actually acknowledge that we should try and offer therapy, counseling, or guidance to get these people out of that condition of living on the side of the street.
00:03:48.000 Instead, they say, who are you to judge that that's not the best way?
00:03:52.000 You know, I actually think that A resurrection of the bubonic plague in certain homeless encampments is probably not a good thing for humanity.
00:04:00.000 Not showering for 60 days, not a good thing.
00:04:03.000 I am one to say that's not good.
00:04:06.000 And there's two different issues happening in Arizona with this: there's panhandling and then there's homelessness.
00:04:13.000 And I got to give the city of Scottsdale credit.
00:04:16.000 Now, Scottsdale is a pretty red area, at least for now, until all the Leninists move in from San Francisco and San Diego and Los Angeles. 0.77
00:04:27.000 But there's a series of signs.
00:04:28.000 Have you seen these, Connor, throughout Scottsdale?
00:04:30.000 I think it's really good and it's super politically incorrect.
00:04:35.000 And I see it and I turn to my wife.
00:04:37.000 I say, I love that.
00:04:38.000 Whoever's in charge wants to keep Scottsdale, Scottsdale.
00:04:41.000 Whatever that is, that is a conservative.
00:04:43.000 We want to conserve what we have.
00:04:46.000 And they're all over Scottsdale.
00:04:48.000 And they say this: you don't have to give money to panhandlers.
00:04:52.000 Support the organizations that help them instead.
00:04:55.000 And I love it because you see these people with these signs right next to these.
00:05:01.000 You see that with their homemade cardboard signs, I should say, next to the signs saying, Give me money, I lost my job, whatever.
00:05:08.000 And standing right next to the sign that says, Don't, you do not have to give them money.
00:05:16.000 And I have to say, there is no way Beverly Hills would ever put up a sign like that, right?
00:05:22.000 So there's still a little bit of spirit left in Scottsdale, I got to tell you.
00:05:26.000 And that gives me hope.
00:05:27.000 Let's do cut 103, please.
00:05:30.000 If you destroy the nuclear family, which they have, if you decriminalize drugs, which they have, if you hand out tents and needles to addicts, what do you think's going to happen? 0.85
00:05:38.000 You're going to get more addicts living in tents.
00:05:41.000 Again, it's not complicated.
00:05:42.000 This is not a vexing public policy question that requires the Brooking Institution to investigate.
00:05:47.000 It's not like fixing Social Security.
00:05:50.000 And the solution is as simple as the problem.
00:05:52.000 Here's the solution: stop putting up with it.
00:05:54.000 Say no.
00:05:56.000 No, you can't smoke meth in the park. 0.99
00:05:58.000 You're not allowed to crap on the sidewalk. 1.00
00:06:00.000 Pull up your pants and get the hell out of here. 0.98
00:06:02.000 One of the greatest urban successes that almost never gets mentioned anymore because of the propaganda smear campaign against an honorable man who I think gets tongue-twisted at times, but he's a good person.
00:06:17.000 He is.
00:06:17.000 It's Rudy Giuliani.
00:06:19.000 And Rudy has one of the great urban successes in the last 50 years.
00:06:23.000 And if we had an honest media, he'd go down in the pantheon of great urban leaders.
00:06:28.000 I want you to think about that.
00:06:29.000 There aren't that many good urban leaders.
00:06:32.000 Most are awful, actually.
00:06:34.000 And so if you were to say who were the best urban leaders of the last hundred years, Rudy Giuliani would be top 10.
00:06:41.000 Absolutely.
00:06:43.000 Rudy Giuliani inherited a New York city that was crime-infested, had a low morale, real estate values were stagnant or declining.
00:06:51.000 It was a two-tiered society.
00:06:53.000 And the New York that I grew up with, that you guys remember that no longer exists because of de Blasio and Adams, the two-step move of the Stalinist Trotskyite decline of a once great city, was thanks to Rudy Giuliani.
00:07:09.000 Now, Bloomberg actually wasn't a terrible mayor.
00:07:11.000 I know that's going to drive people nuts.
00:07:13.000 He was totalitarian in some sense, but he was super pro-police and he had zero tolerance for crime on the streets in New York.
00:07:20.000 And Bloomberg actually fought against the teacher unions.
00:07:23.000 I would take Bloomberg in a second over Eric Adams and Bill de Blasio.
00:07:27.000 Now, Bloomberg was wrong on a variety of other issues, obviously, including regulating, what was that, 7-Eleven big gulps.
00:07:34.000 That was like his big fight. 1.00
00:07:35.000 So stupid, silly. 0.99
00:07:36.000 And Bloomberg never should get close to being in charge of the presidency, but he was a much better mayor than people I think remember and a lot better than Bill de Blasio and far better than Eric Adams. 1.00
00:07:48.000 But before Bloomberg came Giuliani.
00:07:52.000 And Giuliani went on a massive campaign where he instituted the broken window policy, which is that broken windows lead to crime tomorrow.
00:08:02.000 Sexual assaults, rapes, arsons, and murders.
00:08:05.000 And Rudy Giuliani gave a speech and he said this.
00:08:08.000 If you're homeless, we're going to give you compassion, a meal, help and guidance, but you are not allowed to be on 14th and 5th.
00:08:17.000 It's not going to happen.
00:08:19.000 14th and 5th is not your home.
00:08:21.000 We're not going to tolerate tent cities.
00:08:22.000 We're not going to tolerate panhandling.
00:08:24.000 In the first couple of months, it was rocky for Rudy Giuliani.
00:08:26.000 It was turbulent.
00:08:29.000 He received a lot of backlash from the left-wing groups.
00:08:32.000 Also, homeless people would escape or they'd leave the homeless shelters and go back, but kind of not dissimilar than just kind of training children to do the right thing and kind of keep manners.
00:08:44.000 Eventually, the homeless people realized they weren't allowed to be on the corner of 14th and 5th.
00:08:52.000 And next thing you know, New York became way safer.
00:08:56.000 Murders went down dramatically.
00:08:59.000 You could say 30,000 black people are alive because the policies that Rudy Giuliani put in place, thanks to more police on corners, more sophisticated and advanced technological policing measures.
00:09:11.000 And now in New York, you have nine-year-olds being escorted because they don't have their vaccine papers.
00:09:15.000 Rudy Giuliani said as mayor, he utilized a common sense approach and he was able to successfully remove the vast majority of homeless from the streets, providing humane and effective solutions to many of their problems.
00:09:27.000 This should be at the core of a city program for the homeless.
00:09:30.000 The plan that they followed was simple and effective.
00:09:33.000 They didn't need a task force, and it should be utilized by New York City now before a homeless haven kind of reemerges, which is what's happening.
00:09:41.000 Police should approach every person attempting to sleep on the sidewalk and tell them they're not allowed to use the streets as a bedroom and a toilet.
00:09:47.000 If he only needs a place to stay, that could be provided.
00:09:50.000 If he needs a job, the city should help him find one, as the New York City Job Agency did.
00:09:54.000 Or if private work can't be found, he could be required to work for the city for the legal limit of 20 hours a week.
00:09:59.000 Did you see, you hear that?
00:09:59.000 Rudy Giuliani created a jobs program for homeless people.
00:10:02.000 He said, if you need help, we'll help you.
00:10:05.000 Food, job, shelter, work.
00:10:09.000 Work and job is always the same thing.
00:10:13.000 But understand that the toleration of homelessness is an intentional agenda to try and, I think, demoralize a society and try to make us more accepting of societal degeneracy.
00:10:30.000 Defecating on a sidewalk or doing meth in a playground or revealing yourself to a seven-year-old, it's not acceptable.
00:10:41.000 Everyone is a left-wing Bernie Sanders socialist till some 65-year-old dude wearing no clothes defecates in your front lawn.
00:10:49.000 That turns you into a ravid right-winger really quickly.
00:10:54.000 Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:11:01.000 Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?
00:11:06.000 Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:11:11.000 Left-wing corporations are subverting our republic by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:11:22.000 You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.
00:11:25.000 And that is where a massively important organization called Second Vote comes in.
00:11:29.000 The courageous people at Second Vote are exposing corporations for how you spend your money.
00:11:33.000 Second Vote is developing incredible tools and engaging the smartest minds in the country to help inform Americans purchasing decisions.
00:11:41.000 Their work is arduous, complex, and exhaustive, and it does not happen for free.
00:11:45.000 Police support their work so we could defend our future from the woke Marxist mob.

00:12:09.000 Ireland to lift almost all COVID restrictions.
00:12:12.000 Interesting how all of a sudden Ireland and England get their act together.
00:12:15.000 In America, we're still doing, I don't know what we're doing.
00:12:18.000 Okay, let's get to this question here.
00:12:20.000 Charlie, how do I push back against my local school board?
00:12:24.000 How do I push back against my local school board and all the nonsense that they're doing with masking and quarantining?
00:12:31.000 Well, we have a great clip to play here, and we're going to play it in its entirety.
00:12:35.000 It's actually someone who spoke out in the Naperville School District, and that is in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:12:43.000 Every parent should be showing up to school boards across the country.
00:12:46.000 You should have a zero tolerance policy if your child is required to wear a mask.
00:12:50.000 There is no epidemiological reason at all whatsoever, especially at the phase that we're in right now, given the natural immunity widespread, amongst many other reasons, that your child should be forced to wear a mask.
00:13:01.000 And there is zero reason whatsoever to, let me say this differently, there is great concern that mandatory masking will have significant and serious damage to your child and their ability to function and communicate.
00:13:20.000 Let's go to cut 104.
00:13:23.000 It's a little long, but I want you to listen to this.
00:13:26.000 This is a student who showed up at the school board, Naperville School Board, and decided to speak their mind.
00:13:34.000 Play tape.
00:13:35.000 Thank you for teaching students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple vaccinated adults feel safe. 0.54
00:13:44.000 Thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking.
00:13:50.000 Life is best when you take the path of least resistance with no chance of failure and definitely no chance of catching a cold.
00:13:58.000 Thank you for not reaching out to the students to ask how we feel about masks because if you did, the majority of students would say that they hate masks and then you might second guess your decision to make us wear them.
00:14:09.000 Thank you for allowing me to experience the anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions.
00:14:14.000 Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority or think critically, but instead we should follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do.
00:14:23.000 Obedience is best.
00:14:25.000 I realize now that thinking for yourself is overrated and not really necessary when you can just make decisions based on fear.
00:14:33.000 Thank you for pushing your irrational fears and anxieties on me because I didn't already have enough to worry about.
00:14:40.000 I realize now how easy I had it when I only had to worry about my classes, my grades, SAT, and getting into college.
00:14:48.000 Thank you for teaching me that being a morally superior person only requires that I cover my face for eight hours a day.
00:14:54.000 And that the most morally superior people wear two masks or even three masks.
00:15:00.000 As you know, states around us, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota, which have two and a half times more students than Illinois, don't force cats, don't force kids to masks.
00:15:12.000 I'm with you, though.
00:15:13.000 These states are out of control, recklessly putting kids at risk of misery and death every day.
00:15:19.000 Masks work, even if these states have the same outcomes as Illinois.
00:15:24.000 Speaking of data, thank you for staying silent about masking, despite the fact that COVID has a very high survival rate in kids my age.
00:15:33.000 Who needs data anyway, though?
00:15:35.000 We all know that it will never be safe to see anyone's face ever again.
00:15:39.000 I mean, give that girl a medal. 1.00
00:15:41.000 My goodness.
00:15:42.000 I got to give her credit.
00:15:43.000 The sarcasm is so incredibly effective.
00:15:48.000 When I speak at school boards, a little more direct, which she's right.
00:15:50.000 What we're teaching our kids, path of the least resistance, never take risks.
00:15:54.000 Don't look at people's faces.
00:15:58.000 Imagine you're a Naperville school board member, and they thought no one would cover this.
00:16:03.000 I'm a little afraid about one thing, though.
00:16:05.000 I'm afraid that this poor young girl is going to get raided by the FBI and being called a domestic terrorist because she disagrees.
00:16:12.000 And you know what?
00:16:13.000 She makes a great point.
00:16:14.000 In Wisconsin and Minnesota and Iowa, they do not require masks on their kids, and yet Illinois has the same transmission.
00:16:22.000 Who needs data, right?
00:16:24.000 But I don't know what this girl's name is.
00:16:26.000 I found this clip online.
00:16:27.000 A friend of mine from Chicago sent it to me.
00:16:29.000 We need to make this clip go viral.
00:16:31.000 We're going to post that on all of our social media, charliekirk.com.
00:16:34.000 And if you're a student that is living under these Leninist, Maoist policies, you should show up to your school board meeting.
00:16:41.000 It's Naperville student Addison George who did this.
00:16:45.000 And Naperville is, it was a once great community, but what's the best way I could equate Naperville?
00:16:52.000 Naperville is like the most pompous parts of Orange County.
00:16:56.000 That's kind of the best comparison.
00:16:58.000 Very high upper middle class, well-funded schools.
00:17:01.000 And of course, risk-averse parents that never want their kids to leave the bubble wrap.
00:17:06.000 Meanwhile, they're the most suicidal, sick, medicated generation in American history. 0.71
00:17:12.000 God bless that young girl for doing what her parents' generation has refused to do.
00:17:17.000 Be courageous.
00:17:20.000 As you know, most of corporate America is going woke, and that includes companies who are investing your hard-earned retirement money.
00:17:26.000 Well, guess what?
00:17:27.000 I have finally found a financial planning and investment firm that supports our values.
00:17:31.000 PAX Financial Group is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
00:17:35.000 And here's the great news.
00:17:36.000 Now you don't have to live in Texas to work with them because San Antonio is a military city.
00:17:40.000 They have clients worldwide.
00:17:42.000 I met this guy.
00:17:42.000 He's super great.
00:17:43.000 I think you should check it out.
00:17:45.000 The thing that I like about PAX Financial Group is that they have biblical responsible investments.
00:17:49.000 These investments screen out companies that promote abortion, pornography, alcohol, drugs, gambling, and are anti-family or anti-Christian.
00:17:56.000 Look, if you have $150,000 or more in your IRA, 401ks or other investments and want to speak with my friends at PAX, visit PAXFinancial Group.com.
00:18:05.000 That's P-A-Xfinancial Group.com.
00:18:07.000 Right now, they want to offer you a free e-book to learn about biblical responsible investing.
00:18:12.000 Grab this e-book right now at paxfinancialgroup.com and let's start investing in companies that makes everybody's liberty a priority.
00:18:22.000 So here's a provocative statement.
00:18:26.000 It's what is happening to children is what parents allow to happen to children.
00:18:35.000 And I know we get a lot of parents that email us, freedom at charliekirk.com, and they say, my student is, or my kid is being segregated, is being discriminated against.
00:18:46.000 I get it.
00:18:46.000 Then do something about it.
00:18:47.000 Take the kid out. 0.97
00:18:48.000 Challenge the principal.
00:18:49.000 File a lawsuit.
00:18:52.000 I'm going to be very honest with everyone listening right now.
00:18:55.000 I am running out of patience for parents that allow their children's lives to be ruined by the cult of safetyism.
00:19:03.000 And we have so many great listeners that are pushing back and they are doing something about it.
00:19:08.000 So let me give you an example.
00:19:09.000 Do we have that cut that I just sent you?
00:19:12.000 So this is what's happening at schools all across the country.
00:19:14.000 One of our board members at Turning Point USA, this just happened to his son the other day because they don't want their children to be injected with an experimental therapeutic with questionable outcomes in one regard and an extraordinary body of evidence on the vaccine adverse event reporting system that would lay concern to any rational person.
00:19:35.000 So in this video, you have five young girls.
00:19:38.000 That's what I found to be so interesting.
00:19:39.000 Where are the men?
00:19:40.000 Oh, they become women. 0.99
00:19:41.000 That's why.
00:19:43.000 All the girls are acting like strong, courageous people.
00:19:47.000 Good for them.
00:19:48.000 They're refusing to get the vaccine.
00:19:49.000 Maybe they see the evidence from national public radio that it can alter your menstrual cycle.
00:19:53.000 Maybe they see the spikes in myocarditis and petty carditis.
00:19:56.000 They refuse to get the vaccine.
00:19:58.000 They're teenagers.
00:19:59.000 They're healthy.
00:20:00.000 Statistically, it's a greater risk for them to ride in a car, and I bet they do that plenty.
00:20:05.000 And they are pushing back against this whole thing.
00:20:10.000 How does the school treat them?
00:20:12.000 The school treats them.
00:20:15.000 I mean, comparing them to a leper would be one example.
00:20:18.000 No, you know, you know what they treat them?
00:20:20.000 They treat them as if there was an anthrax attack.
00:20:24.000 This is happening in America at a charter school.
00:20:27.000 Play tape.
00:20:29.000 Hello, my name is Ellen Hume, and I'm a student at New West Charter School.
00:20:33.000 I'm here with five other girls.
00:20:35.000 Four of them are freshmen, and one is a junior.
00:20:37.000 I'm a sophomore.
00:20:39.000 And we're being threatened to be suspended because we don't have the COVID-19 vaccine and we're being refused of the right to attend school.
00:20:47.000 We feel segregated and discriminated, and we're being closed off by this caution tape-like thing.
00:20:54.000 We're being segregated from the rest of the school.
00:20:57.000 Yeah.
00:20:58.000 That's in Los Angeles.
00:21:01.000 And obviously, parents are just putting up with it. 0.99
00:21:03.000 The school board's putting up with it.
00:21:06.000 I'm going to write an essay.
00:21:09.000 I might get it published at the Babylon Bee.
00:21:11.000 So there's this great essay called The Petition of the Candlestick Makers.
00:21:15.000 Have you ever heard me talk about this before, Connor?
00:21:17.000 No?
00:21:18.000 Connor and I joke around that I have this voluminous library of seemingly useless knowledge until it becomes useful.
00:21:27.000 So look up when that was written.
00:21:29.000 I think it was written up in the 1860s, 1870s, the petition of candlestick makers.
00:21:36.000 Frederick Bastiat, who wrote, I think his book he wrote, he wrote The Law.
00:21:41.000 He also wrote a book called On Liberty.
00:21:44.000 But the Petition of the Candlestick Makers, I think he wrote it or he published or he co-published it or he publicized it, is a really amazing piece of satire, one of the most effective ever written.
00:21:57.000 So the Petition of the Candlestick Makers is an argument that windows destroy jobs.
00:22:09.000 It's an argument that the fact that we allow all this natural sunlight to come in, there might be so much damage to society that we have to do something about it.
00:22:19.000 And so it's the petition of the candlestick makers, meaning that if you allow all this sunlight to come into homes, you're going to destroy the candlestick making industry, effectively.
00:22:30.000 That the jobs, the design, the distribution of making candles is going to be disenfranchised by sunlight.
00:22:38.000 So you hear that.
00:22:39.000 It's obviously insane.
00:22:41.000 And you're like, okay, well, how about this?
00:22:43.000 The petition of parents to outlaw driving.
00:22:48.000 Safety is the most important value.
00:22:54.000 We must keep our children safe.
00:22:56.000 It's a dangerous world.
00:22:57.000 Do you know over 50,000 people die on the road every single year?
00:23:01.000 And we're going to trust the science.
00:23:03.000 We are going to trust the science that fast cars that are heavy could potentially kill somebody.
00:23:10.000 We are going to trust the science that keeping our children in one place is actually a safer way for them to live. 0.97
00:23:17.000 Now, you might be saying, oh, Charlie, that's a ridiculous argument.
00:23:20.000 That's exactly what we're tolerating right now in our country. 0.98
00:23:22.000 It's insane.
00:23:24.000 It's evil.
00:23:25.000 It's immoral.
00:23:27.000 Meanwhile, United Kingdom and Ireland, they're completely opening up everything, and we're keeping girls detained outside of schools.
00:23:34.000 And then we have nine-year-olds being escorted by police officers in New York City because they don't have their vaccine cards.
00:23:42.000 You want to see societal decay? 0.58
00:23:44.000 Societal decay is the meth addict who's raping people, gets told that the world is his oyster. 0.94
00:23:50.000 He could do whatever he wants. 0.97
00:23:52.000 Or the person that shoots David Dorn is a racial justice protester.
00:23:56.000 Or you burn a Wendy's, you get special points in the memory of St. George Floyd.
00:24:03.000 But if you are a high schooler in Los Angeles who's a girl and a black girl alongside of her who don't get vaccinated, you get fenced off as if Chernobyl has just happened.
00:24:17.000 I have yet to receive a good answer, and I have opened it up to my audience.
00:24:21.000 And I love hearing from you guys.
00:24:23.000 And I think you guys get a lot of things that sometimes I'm trying to process a lot of wisdom in our audience.
00:24:32.000 But I am struggling to understand how on earth the generation of leaders are able to tolerate this or think this is somewhat even remotely acceptable.
00:24:46.000 No one has explained that to me.
00:24:51.000 And it's not like, okay, this has been like a week and you fix it.
00:24:54.000 No, this is two years.
00:24:59.000 Okay, let's get to the next question here.
00:25:02.000 And yeah, Connor sent a note in here.
00:25:03.000 He's exactly right.
00:25:04.000 It's public humiliation and shaming.
00:25:07.000 So we're going to bring you outside fenced off as if it's a crime scene.
00:25:11.000 They literally have like police tape, police line, do not cross around.
00:25:17.000 Okay, let's get to the next question here.
00:25:20.000 Hey, Charlie, can you please cut through the confusion for something on me?
00:25:23.000 I keep hearing people talk about Russia and Biden and Putin and Ukraine, but what the heck is going on over there?
00:25:28.000 And why should I care?
00:25:29.000 Why is our media so obsessed with this story?
00:25:32.000 So our vice president, Cami, she went out on, I think it was NBC or ABC, one of the Operation Mockingbird networks.
00:25:41.000 And she said, look, let's be very clear.
00:25:45.000 And she does this thing where she kind of bounces. 1.00
00:25:48.000 Let me be very clear that the Biden administration, we take situational and sovereignty very seriously.
00:25:57.000 Yeah, okay.
00:25:58.000 So let me be clear.
00:25:59.000 The borders of Ukraine, major issue.
00:26:02.000 Press conference, sanctions, borders of Ukraine, crisis.
00:26:10.000 Border of Arizona.
00:26:14.000 Don't bother me.
00:26:17.000 Look, I think that some Republicans are getting this wrong, including some people that we highlight and we platform on the show.
00:26:23.000 And I think they're amazing.
00:26:24.000 I mean, every compliment I give to some of the guests on the show, I mean, they do a great job.
00:26:29.000 But I think that Republicans are misreading this.
00:26:34.000 War is a big deal.
00:26:38.000 And if you're going to rattle the saber, you better be willing to see it through and use it.
00:26:46.000 War is exhaustive.
00:26:48.000 It is expensive.
00:26:49.000 It is draining.
00:26:52.000 And for a civilization that we're in right now that is already experiencing multiple fronts of societal decay, you must triage.
00:27:04.000 You must say this matters more than that. 0.85
00:27:09.000 Now, Ukraine is an unbelievably corrupt country. 0.93
00:27:13.000 And let me be very clear. 0.97
00:27:14.000 I don't like Putin.
00:27:15.000 I don't like Russia.
00:27:17.000 I don't like the soft authoritarianism.
00:27:24.000 I'm not a fan.
00:27:26.000 Russia and Ukraine are going to fight over this dividing line for quite some time.
00:27:31.000 It's just going to happen.
00:27:33.000 The question of why we care, I have not heard a single answer as to why this is a concern to the United States.
00:27:41.000 Now, let me be very clear.
00:27:44.000 If we had a balanced budget, no inflation, full employment, suicides at record lows, drug overdoses at record lows instead of record highs, children that could read at high levels, urban crime on the decline, a secure southern border,
00:27:58.000 no illegal immigration, family formation increasing, the birth rate increasing, national morale increasing, church attendance going up, then I would be open to the argument that maybe we should be able to rattle the saber and have some fun policing Ukraine and Russia. 0.96
00:28:15.000 Even then, I would probably reject it because I think that would be a mistake of actually ruining success.
00:28:21.000 And some people say that they don't want Russia to become a creeping regional superpower.
00:28:27.000 Well, they already are.
00:28:31.000 And also, this is what's so incredibly unwise about the people in charge.
00:28:39.000 Who's our enemy?
00:28:40.000 Who's the threat?
00:28:42.000 The threat is your grandkids speaking Mandarin. 1.00
00:28:46.000 Now, that's a way of saying the threat is China's trying to take over the world. 0.73
00:28:49.000 That's code for that.
00:28:51.000 That China is increasingly moving towards the direction of international totalitarianism.
00:28:59.000 So we're against China.
00:29:01.000 That's not going to change, even though our elites love to cheat money from China.
00:29:06.000 So there is, in some sense, a question.
00:29:11.000 The question is: where does Russia fall into all of this?
00:29:15.000 And so when you make decisions and you're not some sort of weird, creepy academic that's never actually had your heart rate go above 135 in a pressured-filled situation, and you get super intimidated when someone's not wearing a mask at a grocery store, like sit this one out, pal.
00:29:30.000 Okay, I don't think you really know what the hell you're talking about.
00:29:34.000 See these guys going on TV, we can't allow Putin to go across this.
00:29:38.000 Like, yeah, okay, I get it.
00:29:39.000 You get really upset.
00:29:40.000 The cucumbers are spoiled at Whole Foods.
00:29:43.000 Like, enough war games of sending our treasure and our blood and our loved ones to some sort of foreign border conflict while we're getting invaded.
00:29:53.000 But the question is: if you actually have a hierarchy of needs and wants, the thing in foreign policy, if we had a wise ruling class, would be, oh, how do we build a coalition to restrict the rise of China?
00:30:09.000 That's what a wise ruling class would do. 0.98
00:30:12.000 Instead, we say, hey, here's an idea.
00:30:16.000 Let's make China unaccountable, unaccounted for spreading the virus around the world, and then really tick off the one other superpower that could actually help us against China. 0.99
00:30:26.000 Russia and China are closer than ever.
00:30:26.000 So what's happening?
00:30:29.000 And Tucker said it best: when we lose the dollar as the world reserve currency, it's this garbage that will be traced back to it. 0.99
00:30:38.000 Not a fan of Russia. 0.98
00:30:39.000 I'm a fan of America.
00:30:41.000 This is insane.
00:30:43.000 Both parties, by the way, they're so wrong on this.
00:30:48.000 I want to take a moment and thank Patriot Mobile, my new cell phone provider, for their support.

00:33:12.000 Well, that's a perfect segue to one of our partners for this hour, the cell phone company that we have partnered with, Patriot Mobile.

00:34:47.000 Switch to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
00:34:51.000 Okay, let's get to another question here.
00:34:55.000 This, okay, Charlie, what's going on with the Great Reset and the World Economic Forum?
00:35:00.000 So, we have an episode that will be posted soon with Glenn Beck, and we're talking about his new book on the Great Reset.
00:35:06.000 We're about to have that conversation.
00:35:07.000 It will be aired probably in the next couple of days.
00:35:09.000 So, I want you guys to make sure you check that out.
00:35:11.000 But I want to play this tape here.
00:35:13.000 It's really interesting.
00:35:13.000 It's from the World Economic Forum's Great Narrative Conference.
00:35:17.000 And they say the good news is the elites across the world trust each other more.
00:35:22.000 The bad news is the majority of people trust the elites less.
00:35:25.000 So, basically, they're saying that the elite-to-lite bonds are actually really strong, but the elite-to-people bonds are really weak.
00:35:37.000 I'll be honest, I'm shocked at their self-awareness.
00:35:41.000 PlayCut 91.
00:35:42.000 At Davos a few years ago, the Edelman survey showed us that the good news is the elite across the world trust each other more and more.
00:35:54.000 So we can come together and design and do beautiful things together.
00:35:58.000 The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted that elite less.
00:36:06.000 I think that tape is so important.
00:36:10.000 If I were to do a whole show on the great reset, I would make that clip the kind of exhibit A of evidence.
00:36:18.000 First of all, if you don't get chills down your spine and want to like run for the hill to go buy a bunch of like prepared food and firearms at admission when she starts waving her hands and she says, so we could do beautiful things.
00:36:33.000 Yeah, it makes me want to go buy property in Cordelaine, actually, when you say stuff like that.
00:36:37.000 We could go do wonderful, beautiful things.
00:36:40.000 But there's this great tension, and I find this to be so important.
00:36:43.000 And we don't have time to build this out because there's a lot there in that 30 seconds to piece out.
00:36:49.000 There's a ton.
00:36:50.000 And you might say, Charlie, what do you mean?
00:36:52.000 Okay, first of all, the elites are coming together.
00:36:55.000 So the elites are more connected, kind of like Specter in a James Bond film.
00:37:01.000 Literally, this is Spectre.
00:37:03.000 Okay.
00:37:03.000 You can watch that on your own.
00:37:04.000 The second part is that in every country, people don't trust their elites.
00:37:10.000 Well, what does that tell you?
00:37:11.000 That means that the citizen movement that we're seeing in America is global.
00:37:17.000 We are seeing the higher frequency win.
00:37:22.000 We are seeing the elevated conversation start to accomplish victory.
00:37:28.000 And the elites are now confused and they say, oh, well, we need to be in charge so we could do beautiful.
00:37:33.000 And you see that word that she used?
