Ask Charlie Anything 96: Sex Week at Tulane, CDC Adjusts Children Speech Benchmarks, Doping Russian Figure-Skaters, Who do I want to Run in 2024? And MORE
00:00:05.000The CDC adjusts its study of what actually counts as proper speech for a young person.
00:00:12.000And why does Google want more censorship?
00:00:15.000That and so much more on this Ask Me Anything episode where I take your questions that you have emailed me directly, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:09.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:17.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:48.000I want somebody who has proven to be phenomenal for the conservative movement.
00:01:54.000I want someone to run for president who will really be able to unite suburban moms and rural voters, Hispanics and black voters, unite them around.
00:02:07.000I want Hillary Clinton to run for president.
00:02:09.000Obviously, I would love to see 80-year-old Hillary try to fulfill what has been a 45-year failed journey to become president of the United States.
00:02:20.000Now, Hillary's in the news a lot, right, recently.
00:02:23.000It's just kind of fun to bring up Hillary Clinton again.
00:02:26.000And we don't do this, like bring Hillary back into the newsfold just for kicks and giggles.
00:02:32.000It just so happens that she's implicated because of the John Durham filing.
00:02:35.000But also, Hillary Clinton's back on the speakers tour.
00:02:38.000So, Hillary, look, the amount of Hillary tape out there is pretty impressive, okay?
00:02:43.000And we happen to know, we happen to know a lot of it, whether it be Hillary Clinton saying she dodged sniper fire while she was in Iraq, Hillary Clinton, you know, doing the cringeworthy selfie videos.
00:02:56.000Like, here we are in Cedar Rapids, or Hillary Clinton, who just decided out of all the wardrobe selections imaginable to wear an orange jumpsuit when she was trying to tell the world that she didn't commit crimes and destroy her cell phone or her emails, even though she did destroy them.
00:03:17.000I have to say, I'd say that if Hillary Clinton runs for president of the United States, it would be one of the greatest political stories ever.
00:03:48.000Now, one of the reasons why Hillary Clinton remains powerful is because of personnel.
00:03:53.000This is an important point, is Republicans don't take this seriously.
00:03:55.000It's one of the reasons, by the way, why Liz Cheney remains very powerful and why the Bushes remain very powerful, regardless of how hard the people don't want them and you try to push them out.
00:04:08.000Personnel is policy, especially when it comes to government.
00:04:11.000And Hillary and Bill Clinton, for years leading up to, and of course, while they were president, they put young, radical, loyal people all throughout government.
00:04:20.000Department of Justice, FDA, EPA, they staffed the government with their cronies and their allies.
00:04:26.000And so you come 20 or 30 years later, those people are running those agencies.
00:04:29.000People like Anthony Fauci, people like Lois Lerner.
00:04:33.000These people come up through the Clinton White House and they come and they go.
00:04:36.000But generally, the Clintons were very good at personnel.
00:04:40.000And then, of course, they Hillary Clinton got another kind of opportunity to do that as Secretary of State under Barack Obama, where she basically staffed half the national security apparatus with her lackeys and her cronies.
00:04:52.000If I remember correctly, Jen Pasaki was also involved in some way, shape, or form in the Hillary Clinton orbit.
00:04:59.000Many of these people, Jake Sullivan was as well.
00:05:01.000But Hillary Clinton got quite a greeting when she showed up at the New York Democrat Convention.
00:05:07.000Play Cut 89, she's greeted by protesters.
00:05:32.000Now, of course, Hillary Clinton in this clip 107 with Charlemagne the God, one of my favorite Hillary Clinton quotes where they say, So, what do you carry around all the time?
00:06:58.000In fact, I remember Bernie Sanders winning primary after primary, and they had to make sure that stopped because for a variety of different reasons, he wasn't.
00:07:05.000I don't think they could control him actually as president as much.
00:07:10.000I think Trump would have run over Bernie Sanders, even with all the other stuff happening.
00:07:14.000And so they basically implemented Joe Biden.
00:07:16.000And, you know, what's really interesting, and I think that there needs to be a book written about this, and I'm surprised there hasn't, is the South Carolina Switch.
00:07:26.000And the fact that there has never been a book or an article written on this, we might actually do it like we got nothing else to do, which was, I'll never forget, I was watching it so closely.
00:07:34.000This is when COVID started to bubble up, and all these things were starting to happen.
00:07:38.000And the reason why I remember the news cycle so vividly, it was my book launch, The MAGA Doctrine.
00:07:51.000And I remember, like, almost with a directional pivot, it went from, okay, this race is going to be, you know, the robot who is the mayor of South Bend, who looks like Alfred E. Newman, and we, like, made him in some sort of laboratory to try to be president, or it's going to be, you know, Bernie Sanders, or not Elizabeth Warren.
00:08:11.000She got no, it's like Joe Biden finished, I think, fifth or sixth in Iowa, and he finished third or fourth in New Hampshire.
00:08:17.000But then basically, the media, a memo went out as COVID was starting to bubble up.
00:08:21.000A memo went out, probably from Barack Obama's camp, to basically say, hey, the same way we're going to kind of reset the American currency, we're going to reset American politics.
00:09:07.000And they basically said that in the Molly Ball article, the Time magazine article, which was basically the shadow campaign that won the 2020 election, where they admit there was a shadow campaign.
00:09:18.000They admit that there was an operation in the dark, if you will.
00:11:26.000Paul from Florida asks, Charlie, what are your thoughts on the Olympics as they're occurring?
00:11:30.000I really haven't watched much of the Olympics, but I do love justice, I have to say.
00:11:36.000And I don't like delighting in people's failure, but I don't like cheaters at all.
00:11:40.000You should not like cheaters, and I do not like people who try to game the system for their own personal gain while other people are not given that same sort of advantage.
00:12:29.000Without the drugs, she falls down, I guess.
00:12:31.000I don't understand why you would be doping a 15-year-old.
00:12:35.000And she's 15 years old, and she's being used as a prop of the Russian government to try to propagandize the world towards what?
00:12:41.000I don't know, that the Russians are the best.
00:12:43.000No one actually believes that, obviously.
00:12:45.000I mean, I would expect this out of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:12:48.000I guess we should also expect it out of the Russian equivalent of that.
00:12:52.000And so she was allowed to compete because the Olympic committee was saying that if she didn't compete, that she wouldn't, it'd be too traumatizing for her to pull out from the Olympics, but that if she won the gold, that there wouldn't be a there wouldn't be an Olympic ceremony and all this.
00:13:35.000They said, nope, that's not going to get it.
00:13:36.000There'll be gold, silver, and bronze in the women's event in Beijing.
00:13:39.000And so that means that he laughed at Johnny Weir says, thank God.
00:13:43.000And I think, and it actually goes to this broader philosophical point: deep in the heart of every human being, deep in our soul, is a yearning for justice.
00:13:53.000Aristotle pinpointed this 2,500 years ago.
00:13:56.000We don't like people that cut in line.
00:13:58.000We don't like people that try to favor themselves for one other reason and are unethical or are not given the same sort of platform.
00:14:07.000So when someone uses a controlled substance and tests positive for it, and they're still allowed to compete, the whole thing is so incredibly bizarre.
00:14:13.000But then the laws of nature and nature is God, I think, sorted that out pretty nicely.
00:14:31.000They find these like 11 and 12-year-olds that can, you know, contort their body in a way that a 20- or 22-year-old would not be able to do, lie about their age.
00:14:40.000This is one of the main reasons, if you've watched the Olympics at all, and I've watched it minimally, that it's not even called the Russian Federation.
00:14:46.000It's called the Russian Olympic Committee.
00:14:47.000So they're like banned from competition because they're cheaters.
00:14:51.000And I don't know what it is about the culture of kind of the entire Russian Olympic group, why they feel they have to cheat or they think it's okay or it's, it's like mafioso style.
00:15:06.000It's not like they're the only country that's ever treated, cheating anything.
00:15:09.000Lance Armstrong was kind of the number one most respected figure in America for nearly a decade.
00:15:15.000And it came out he was either doing ozone therapy or cheating in some way or shape or form or cutting in line steroids, you can name it.
00:15:23.000But I do say this person in particular who was skating on behalf of the Russian Olympic Committee thought that she was just the best person ever and put way too much pressure on her.
00:15:34.000And I don't think it's right for adults to use children as props.
00:15:38.000I don't think it's right when they use Greta Thunberg for props.
00:15:40.000I didn't think it was right when they use the Parkland kids as props for gun control.
00:15:44.000And I certainly don't like it when 15-year-old girls are being given drugs for some sort of performative art.
00:16:06.000With all the noise surrounding the topics of money and the economy, today more than ever before, you need a financial guide that you can trust.
00:16:15.000That's why I trust PAX Financial Group.
00:16:18.000Not only do they share my conservative values, they are committed to putting your interests ahead of their own.
00:16:23.000Big Wall Street firms are forcing their political agendas into your investments, and it's time to stop giving your money to companies that don't share your values or use their profits, my profits, as a way to silence Christians.
00:16:36.000PAX is proud to offer an alternative called BRIs, biblical responsible investing.
00:16:43.000Look, I got to know the people behind PAX Financial at a pro-life dinner in San Antonio.
00:16:50.000I got to know them, and they told me about biblical responsible investing.
00:16:52.000And at first, I wasn't really sure what to make of it.
00:16:55.000But as I got to know the team behind PAX Financial, we agreed to partner with them here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:17:01.000Biblical responsible investing supports and promotes our values of being pro-family and pro-life and screens out companies that support pornography or anti-Christian or anti-conservative.
00:17:13.000If you have $150,000 or more in investments, text them, Charlie, at number 74868.
00:17:20.000Text them, just Charlie, right now to number 74868.
00:17:25.000So take out your phone to number 7468.
00:17:30.000They'll be able to schedule a 15-minute free, no-obligation consultation.
00:17:33.000I'm moving some of my money over to PAX Financial.
00:17:36.000And honestly, I hope they do well with it with some of the returns.
00:17:40.000But I'm happy that part of my portfolio will be able to go towards biblical responsible investing.
00:17:47.000I think they're going to crush it for me in the market, but I'll be able to know that my hard-earned dollars are not going towards pornography, anti-Christian, pro-BLM nonsense.
00:17:57.000You'll be connected with a financial advisor who will walk this through with you.
00:18:49.000They're going after their fellow countrymen and they're crushing them.
00:18:54.000Okay, let's get to some more questions here.
00:18:56.000Charlie, what do you think about the government's continued suppression of freedom of speech in other countries, also in coordination with Silicon Valley?
00:19:05.000Thank you so much, Edward from Louisiana.
00:19:09.000So this is something that is increasingly dangerous and something that we must be vigilant about, which is the government working hand in hand, the government working in harmony with the tech companies to try to demand censorship.
00:19:24.000We saw this from the Biden regime back last summer where they even targeted Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action because of text messages we were sending out where they want to restrict our text messages because we were quote unquote spreading COVID misinformation, which is now actually stuff that is now considered to be the science because the science has changed.
00:19:43.000We were talking about natural immunity.
00:19:45.000You're talking about all sorts of different things.
00:19:47.000Now, YouTube CEO recommends governments pass laws to gain more control over online speech and elsewhere.
00:19:55.000Our recommendation if governments want to have more control over online speech is to pass laws to have that be very cleanly and clearly defined such that we can implement it.
00:20:05.000There are times that we see the laws being implemented or being suggested that they're not necessarily clean or possible for us to cleanly interpret them.
00:20:16.000And we've also seen sometimes there's laws passed just for the internet as opposed to for all speech.
00:20:23.000And I do think that's a dangerous area when we start to get in and say, oh, sure, you could say something like this in a magazine or on TV, but you can't say it on the internet.
00:20:32.000So why would Google want regulation to shut people up?
00:20:36.000The reason is, of course, that they have an employee revolt happening at Google every single day because they have staffed their entire company with computer engineers that go to Caltech and Berkeley and Stanford, and they're incredibly liberal.
00:20:47.000And there are these censorship wars that happen at Google every single day.
00:20:53.000The people of Google would love nothing more than the ability to be able to suppress speech and say, oh, it's the government that's doing it.
00:21:00.000Now, believe it or not, Google, deep down, the CEOs of Google, the executives of Google, they don't, or YouTube, they do not want to censor as much as their employees do because it's really bad for business.
00:21:14.000If you think about it, what sort of business model do you not want people to come and buy your products?
00:21:19.000I mean, this is one of the great fallacies of kind of puritanical free market economics.
00:21:24.000And again, I believe a lot of this stuff in theory.
00:21:28.000And I think a lot of this stuff is generally true.
00:21:59.000If you're a restaurant and your entire goal is to try to get as many customers as possible and you're barely making ends meet, you're not going to be kicking out people because of their politics that come into your restaurant.
00:22:16.000You're going to pay your bill, eat the food, enjoy the food, and move on.
00:22:19.000But censorship, by definition, is anti-business.
00:22:21.000Yet then why do companies continue to censor?
00:22:25.000It's because there's this tension within these companies of people that built it and actually have to respond to shareholders and people that are super miserable that went to Caltech and Berkeley that have infiltrated these companies as computer engineers.
00:22:36.000And I'm by no means making an excuse for this censorship regime.
00:22:40.000She's saying herself that she wants more censorship, but she would love nothing more than to be able to censor if the government actually did it for her and she doesn't actually have to quote unquote disenfranchise her customers.
00:22:57.000YouTube is starting to relax some of their censorship behavior.
00:23:01.000In some ways, they're strengthening down in other ways.
00:23:03.000It's a little inconsistent because of Rumble.
00:23:05.000And we're streaming right now on rumble.com, r-um-m-b-le-com, the only website that you guys should go to get your video and consumption information.
00:23:12.000We started doing it because we wanted to stand in solidarity with Dan Bongino.
00:23:16.000We're continuing to do it just because it's an awesome site.
00:23:19.000And I don't know if we'll ever go back to YouTube streaming.
00:23:21.000We might here and there if we really want to boost some of the viewers to some of the people that aren't center right.
00:23:27.000But censorship is the opposite of what one would do for business.
00:23:31.000And the tension is this, is that most employees that are demanding censorship at Google, they do not care about the actual thing that you would think would drive a business, which is the bottom line.
00:23:42.000They don't actually care about profits as much.
00:23:44.000They care about politics and they care about power.
00:23:48.000And for the people that work in Silicon Valley, the people that work in Santa Clara, the people that work for the entire technological industrial complex of all these different companies, whether it'd be Dropbox or Salesforce.
00:23:59.000I mean, you drive through the Silicon Valley area.
00:24:07.000It's like one building after the other that is this massive megaplex of technological power.
00:24:14.000And the CEOs, they obviously have to hit profit earnings and they have to hit their marks for their investors or to raise capital or whatever.
00:24:21.000But the employees, for them, they get paid the same.
00:24:30.000The volume of revenue, that's a better way to word it, that these companies are able to enjoy.
00:24:34.000Is Google has such extraordinary profits.
00:24:38.000They have such extraordinary revenue that they're able to put up with a really woke workforce, which we've said this before in this program, which is that the woker the society gets, the woker the company gets, that's a tough business model.
00:24:54.000You can only be woke if you're wealthy.
00:25:33.000They might be liberal, but they're not woke, meaning they're not insane because they live in reality because their entire world is structured around actual material reality.
00:25:42.000You know, we go after, not we, but the regime goes after carpenters and the smelly people and the farmers.
00:26:09.000And they live in this world that's not published, not in this published, esoteric, abstract, distant, you know, where you need a thesaurus and a dictionary just to work through this entire nonsense where they make the simple complex.
00:26:21.000They say, wait a second, I know that in my job, I just have to put roofing down, put tile down, and I think it works just fine.
00:26:31.000Why is it you're trying to complicate this?
00:26:32.000Well, the person at Cal Berkeley or the person that goes that went to Stanford and then works for Google and Facebook, they live in the world of complication.
00:26:42.000They're like, well, everywhere I've gone, whether it be the college campus I went to or the super nice prep school or my parents that drive Teslas and they have places, you know, they have a place in Fremont, they have a place in Malibu, and they have a place in Hawaii.
00:26:55.000And the woke becomes a place of purpose, obviously.
00:26:58.000It becomes a quasi-religious experience for them.
00:27:00.000But this is what I believe is going to break the back of the woke is that when these companies like Rumble that are not run by complete and total psychopaths and actually they work hard and they have great technology and they have a good user base, YouTube is going to have a very tough decision to make, which is do we keep on pandering to these people that are completely and totally insane that are actually making us less competitive or do we shed some of that dead weight?
00:27:24.000We're willing to stand up against the indigenous people group at Google and we're willing to stand up against the work.
00:27:30.000It's not even the workers' rights stuff.
00:27:31.000It's the BLM group and actually run a business.
00:27:37.000And this is, again, this is why I tell people, we got to start new businesses.
00:27:40.000You need more entrepreneurs because when you go head to head up against a legitimately woke company, you could have a worse product, but you will win.
00:27:48.000You will win because if they actually believe their own nonsense, they're going to take more days off for no reason.
00:27:53.000They're going to have all these stupid equity sessions.
00:27:55.000They're going to have these, they're going to have the entire model.
00:27:59.000It's not like, let's go sell a product that can make money.
00:28:04.000And what are your preferences towards, or what gender do you have?
00:28:11.000There's only so many hours in the day.
00:28:12.000Of course, when you're Google and you basically have an unlimited, you have a money printer, otherwise known as YouTube, you're able to put up with a lot of this stuff.
00:28:21.000Your local manufacturing plant that can barely make payroll and has to deal with double-digit inflation.
00:28:49.000Kind of goes to this general question, PlayCut 96.
00:28:52.000Fact is, in America and North Carolina, I can do anything I want, and I teach that to my children.
00:28:58.000And the person who tells my little pecan color kids that they're somehow oppressed based on the color of their skin would be absolutely wrong and absolutely at war with me because CRT, all of that, the parents don't want it.
00:29:50.000If you could see my supply of various supplements, you'd think I was training for the Olympics.
00:29:54.000But I had to pick one supplement that transcends all the others.
00:29:58.000And it would have to be balance of nature.
00:30:00.000I struggle sometimes to get my fruits and vegetables, hectic schedule, crazy travel, boarding planes, taxis, checking into hotels, and being screamed at by angry leftists.
00:30:11.000It's really hard to find time to go to the farmer's market and get greens, beets, pineapples, oranges, and kiwis.
00:30:16.000However, if you aren't getting a lot of daily fruits and vegetables, I could tell you balance of nature is the thing for you.
00:30:21.000Get your immune system up and running by taking balance of nature's 10 servings of fruits and veggies, all in six tiny capsules.
00:30:28.000For a limited time, all new preferred customers will receive an additional 35% discount and free shipping on your first Balance of Nature order.
00:31:13.000Now, the CDC is changing like, well, it's okay if they're slurring words or if their IQ has gone lower.
00:31:18.000So the American Academy of Pediatrics has said that 67.7% of the changes to early childhood milestones were moved to older ages in the recent study commissioned by the CDC.
00:31:31.000This is the metaphorical moving of goalposts because they do not want you to be able to see how disastrous and how damaging these lockdowns have become.
00:31:41.000So when kids have slurred words, communication problems, inability to recognize facial expression, lack of human empathy, all these sorts of things, according to CDC control, Center for Disease Control, perfectly fine and normal.
00:31:56.000And it's actually according to CDC's own website.
00:31:58.000I'm just reading from Twitchy the way that they put that together.
00:32:30.000So every parent, listen to my voice right now.
00:32:33.000I hope you understand almost almost every college, obviously Hillsdale doesn't, has this, they have a thing called Sex Week, where they celebrate it, they advertise it.
00:32:45.000Quote, join us on McAllister as we kick off Sex Week with some free giveaways, including Bath Me from Baki, a limited quantity of sex toys and condom kits.
00:32:55.000Then they have Acro Yoga, which is to develop concentration, build trust, and challenge your core in this beginning-friendly course.
00:33:03.000And then they have this one, which is reimagining intimacy and intersectionality, intersections of race, disability, gender, and sexuality.
00:33:12.000This is all sponsored, by the way, by the university.
00:33:14.000Turning Point USA can't be sponsored, but free condoms and sex toys, perfectly fine.
00:33:19.000Free condoms and sex toys, according to Tulane, great.
00:33:22.000Now, I think we might be approved at Turning Point USA, Tulane, so I don't want to get our students in trouble.
00:33:26.000But I think we had a chapter there at some point.
00:33:29.000The point I'm making, the broader point that I'm making, is that we get kicked off of schools all the time.
00:33:36.000We get kicked off the campus all the time.
00:33:41.000And I'm sure they have a sex week similar to this.
00:33:43.000So this is a safe space to explore and ask questions about intimacy across experiences and identities, especially across disability, queerness, and race.
