00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:04.000 You have emailed me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:06.000 That is freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:08.000 We talk about all sorts of different things.
00:00:10.000 Why have the Democrats written off East Palestine, Ohio?
00:00:14.000 It's a train derailment, Trump's fault, and more.
00:00:16.000 Email me your thoughts as always: freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:19.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:20.000 Here we go.
00:00:22.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:23.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:25.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:29.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:32.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:33.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:34.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:41.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:00:42.000 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.
00:00:51.000 That's why we are here.
00:00:54.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:03.000 Okay, the first question is Frank from New Mexico.
00:01:07.000 Charlie Love the Program.
00:01:08.000 Can you please help explain to me why Joe Biden and the Democrats don't care about East Palestine, Ohio?
00:01:18.000 So I have a couple thoughts on this.
00:01:20.000 So Pete Buttigieg recently visited.
00:01:22.000 By the way, Donald Trump visited before and totally overshadowed him in every possible way, literally and figuratively.
00:01:28.000 So Pete Buttigieg visits, and we have joked around for some time that Pete Buttigeg is just chat GPT as a Democrat.
00:01:35.000 And we said, hey, he's going to overheat.
00:01:37.000 He's going to overload.
00:01:38.000 The system is going to be overwhelmed.
00:01:41.000 And in some ways, our prophecy was fulfilled.
00:01:45.000 Pete Buttigieg just started talking.
00:01:47.000 I really like East Palestine.
00:01:49.000 And I'm sorry.
00:01:50.000 I'm sorry.
00:01:53.000 He just overheated.
00:01:54.000 Play cut 104.
00:01:56.000 Both information and misinformation injected into this situation.
00:02:01.000 None of which is to the benefit of the community when it comes to that misinformation.
00:02:06.000 So I think.
00:02:07.000 So I lost my train of thought.
00:02:09.000 Lost my train of thought.
00:02:12.000 Ooh, that's cruel, Pete.
00:02:14.000 You couldn't have had any other way to word it.
00:02:17.000 You really had to use the word train in there.
00:02:20.000 Not exactly the best word choice.
00:02:23.000 Could have said my line of thinking.
00:02:25.000 What was I saying?
00:02:26.000 No, no, no.
00:02:27.000 You had to use the word train in there just to be cruel, just to kind of put.
00:02:30.000 No, no, no, that's too sophisticated for him.
00:02:33.000 Remember, he's a droid.
00:02:34.000 That's Pete Buttigieg.
00:02:35.000 Pete Buttigeg is a droid.
00:02:37.000 So why is it that Democrats don't care about East Palestine?
00:02:43.000 It was, it's, in my personal opinion, it was illuminating to see how they have completely written off East Palestine.
00:02:54.000 They think they can get to permanent political power without muscular Midwest white working class voters.
00:03:00.000 They have contempt for them.
00:03:02.000 They don't like their values.
00:03:03.000 They don't want them.
00:03:04.000 This is exactly why, and people hate it when they say this.
00:03:07.000 You say that you're not allowed to say this is why they want the borders to remain wide open.
00:03:10.000 7,08,000 people a day.
00:03:12.000 This is not my theory.
00:03:13.000 This is their own words.
00:03:14.000 The Castro brothers have said, Texas will turn in a generation because of open borders. 0.96
00:03:19.000 They have just completely written it off.
00:03:21.000 What is a write-off?
00:03:22.000 Play cut 90.
00:03:23.000 What happened to my stereo?
00:03:25.000 It's all smashed up.
00:03:26.000 That's right.
00:03:27.000 Now it looks like it was broken during shipping, and I insured it for $400.
00:03:31.000 But you were supposed to get me a refund.
00:03:34.000 You can't get a refund.
00:03:35.000 Your warranty expired two years ago.
00:03:38.000 So we're going to make the post office pay for my new stereo now?
00:03:41.000 It's a write-off for them.
00:03:43.000 How is it a write-off?
00:03:44.000 They just write it off.
00:03:46.000 Write it off what?
00:03:48.000 Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything.
00:03:52.000 You don't even know what a write-off is.
00:03:56.000 Do you?
00:03:57.000 No, I don't.
00:03:59.000 But they do.
00:04:00.000 And they're the ones writing it off.
00:04:03.000 They're the ones writing it off.
00:04:05.000 And the Democrats are just writing off Eastern Ohio.
00:04:08.000 They're done.
00:04:08.000 It's a waste of time.
00:04:09.000 They ask too many questions.
00:04:11.000 The clamoring patriotic citizens of Ohio, way too high maintenance.
00:04:16.000 Patriotism, love of country, parents' party, faith, muscular class.
00:04:22.000 They think they can get to permanent political power while just doing nothing for these people.
00:04:28.000 Remember, they think that demographics is destiny.
00:04:30.000 They think that if they bring in enough people across the border, I'm not saying this is a guarantee.
00:04:35.000 This is their own words.
00:04:36.000 Their own political party, their own political future based on their own public statements, is that 78,000 people a day coming across the southern border will help them politically.
00:04:48.000 And for committing the crime of noticing anytime you might actually notice it, they say that you're engaging in the great replacement theory.
00:04:55.000 I don't know what that is.
00:04:57.000 What I do know is that the Democrats have repeatedly stated that this is going to help them.
00:05:04.000 So that's why they have written off Eastern Ohio.
00:05:07.000 It's a waste of time for them.
00:05:09.000 Donald Trump has not, though.
00:05:11.000 Donald Trump in Ohio had one of his best political moments in years.
00:05:16.000 78.
00:05:16.000 He says, you are forgotten no longer.
00:05:18.000 To the people of East Palestine and to the nearby communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, we have told you loud and clear, you are not forgotten.
00:05:28.000 You are not forgotten.
00:05:29.000 We stand with you.
00:05:30.000 We pray for you and we will stay with you in your fight to help answer and the accountability that you deserve.
00:05:36.000 We'll have that accountability.
00:05:38.000 It'll all be out there very clearly.
00:05:40.000 The Democrats used to represent places like eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
00:05:46.000 That used to be Democrat country. 0.88
00:05:48.000 But when Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 for calling out their neoliberalism of relaxed trade policies, of unlimited people coming to the country and adventurous foreign wars, the three foundational elements of neoliberalism, invade the world, invite the world, import products we don't need. 0.72
00:06:05.000 Those are the three pro bunch of plastic garbage that you're not going to remember, yet you don't need, that will fill up your garage.
00:06:12.000 Bunch of foreigners coming into your country and invading a country a year, just perpetual war. 1.00
00:06:18.000 Feed the war machine, feed the war machine, feed the war machine.
00:06:21.000 Those are the foundational elements of neoliberalism.
00:06:24.000 Donald Trump called them all out, and that really the Democrats laughed at him.
00:06:28.000 Remember Hillary Clinton said, oh, there's no way he could possibly win.
00:06:31.000 Bill Clinton, though, if you remember the 2016 campaign, I remember this vividly.
00:06:35.000 Bill Clinton was the only one that was trying to tell Democrats there might be something to this because Bill Clinton himself successfully ran as a moderate.
00:06:43.000 And he actually governed more as a moderate than I think people give him credit for.
00:06:47.000 He did some wacky stuff, but Bill Clinton was no extreme radical on most issues in the 90s because the country wouldn't have tolerated it.
00:06:54.000 But Bill Clinton ran as a Blue Dog Democrat in the 1992 election. 0.90
00:06:57.000 He won as one. 0.94
00:06:58.000 He's an awful person.
00:06:59.000 He should be in jail for obviously what he did with Epstein, but it's a fact that as president, he was rather center left. 0.94
00:07:04.000 He was not like Biden, who was just full Lenin.
00:07:07.000 He's not like Obama, who was full far to the left.
00:07:10.000 And Bill Clinton tried to warn the Hillary Clinton campaign: hey, Hill, Hill Dog, will you give me a call back?
00:07:18.000 This whole Trump thing actually might have some power to it.
00:07:21.000 And he was probably just told, you know, just go back to Jeffrey's Island Bill.
00:07:24.000 He's like, all right, fine.
00:07:25.000 I don't care.
00:07:26.000 It's like, all the same, you don't talk to me anyway.
00:07:29.000 And Bill Clinton was right.
00:07:30.000 Bill Clinton had repeated warnings where he tried to tell the Democrat Party in 2016 that Donald Trump could break the matrix.
00:07:39.000 But you see, Democrats fell for a logical fallacy.
00:07:43.000 Things have always been a certain way.
00:07:44.000 Therefore, they're always going to be a certain way.
00:07:46.000 And Macomb County and Mohonig County and all these traditional Democrat white working class counties completely and totally flipped.
00:07:54.000 And it's been, Republicans have continued that trend to a certain extent.
00:07:58.000 They have somewhat struggled to do it at the same level or numbers as Donald Trump did.
00:08:04.000 And then what the Democrats saw, though, is they said, okay, we're going to lose rural white working class voters, or these not always rural, but these kind of, let's just say, 50,000 to 100,000 person towns, of which Ohio has plenty, of which Indiana has plenty, of which Michigan has plenty.
00:08:20.000 It's kind of those middle class.
00:08:21.000 They usually have like two or three core industries there, whether it be steel or iron ore extraction or refrigerator assembly or something.
00:08:31.000 And those industries have been depleted or re-domiciled completely.
00:08:34.000 And there's a memory of what those places used to be.
00:08:37.000 And Donald Trump came in and said, it's wrong what happened to you.
00:08:40.000 I'm going to go about fixing it.
00:08:41.000 And that was very, very powerful.
00:08:42.000 It's political dynamite.
00:08:44.000 But the Democrats are tired of doing that.
00:08:47.000 They've gone all in on 1619 politics, which we call woke, we call all these different things.
00:08:54.000 And the people of East Palestine, Ohio are getting a clear message from the American Democrat Party.
00:09:00.000 We don't need you and we don't care about you.
00:09:02.000 By the way, this is a really cruel way to govern.
00:09:05.000 You should not make decisions of who actually gets help just based on whether or not they voted for you.
00:09:10.000 Donald Trump never did that.
00:09:12.000 Donald Trump helped extract prisoners from other countries that hated him.
00:09:17.000 Literally.
00:09:17.000 Remember Lonzo Ball, whatever that guy, Lamello Ball.
00:09:22.000 I can't remember the names.
00:09:23.000 Lamar, Lamello, whatever.
00:09:25.000 With that father who can't keep his mouth shut.
00:09:29.000 He got him out of China.
00:09:30.000 Never got any credit for that.
00:09:32.000 Donald Trump governed for what was best for America.
00:09:35.000 Donald Trump tried to do more for the black community, even though the black community rarely supported him.
00:09:39.000 Is it LeVar Ball?
00:09:41.000 Yeah, I mean, no offense.
00:09:43.000 I just can't remember the name.
00:09:44.000 He's also, he's got a big mouth.

00:10:53.000 These people are so miserable. 0.87
00:10:54.000 I'm speaking in Crystal Lake, Illinois. 0.99
00:10:56.000 This person says, this is horrifying.
00:10:58.000 Charlie Kirk is coming to Crystal Lake.
00:11:00.000 First of all, I grew up like right down the street.
00:11:02.000 So coming to Crystal Lake, it's not exactly as if it's some sort of foreign invader coming to Crystal Lake.
00:11:09.000 The hateful bigot Charlie Kirk is coming to Crystal Lake and bringing his bigoted, grooming hate speech to the holiday inn Crystal Lake on February 25th.
00:11:18.000 His rally organizers, Moms for Liberty and McHenry County GOP, have been trying to keep the event secret.
00:11:23.000 Now, actually, I've been talking openly about it.
00:11:25.000 But the secret's out, and we will not tolerate a bunch of Klan folks and domestic terrorists in our area.
00:11:34.000 The holiday inn is trying to keep things hush, hush.
00:11:36.000 And what I'm told, they've already called, they've called the protest, is getting irritated by the number of complaints and posted social media.
00:11:42.000 So please, help by calling them and telling them the social media post to cancel the event.
00:11:47.000 We will not let Hank hate.
00:11:48.000 We will not let hate hang out in our hometown.
00:11:51.000 Five exclamation points.
00:11:52.000 Can you get the Seinfeld clip on exclamation points?
00:11:54.000 Please, you got to. 1.00
00:11:55.000 This woman, she's a neurotic freak. 1.00
00:11:57.000 Okay, let's get to, by the way, the event's gonna go on. 1.00
00:11:59.000 It's gonna be great.
00:12:00.000 We're gonna talk about education.
00:12:01.000 We're gonna talk about why kids need to have a parent-centered education.
00:12:05.000 It's gonna be terrific.
00:12:06.000 Can't wait.
00:12:06.000 That, by the way, only inspires me to fight harder the more you guys come after me like this.
00:12:11.000 It gives me energy.
00:12:12.000 Okay, Michael from Texas.
00:12:14.000 Thank you for calling the program.
00:12:16.000 You have some thoughts on Biden spending so much money on Ukraine, but not in America.
00:12:20.000 Michael, how are you doing?
00:12:21.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:12:23.000 I'm with a live chat.
00:12:25.000 We follow you every day.
00:12:27.000 And I'm wondering, okay, I spent a long time in the military, and I know those chemicals that were in that train.
00:12:35.000 Biden's spending a lot of money in Ukraine, but nobody's talking about the chemicals that they were carrying on the train.
00:12:46.000 The mixture of those chemicals creates a basis of nerve gas.
00:12:51.000 They are never, ever transported together on the same railway.
00:12:56.000 So say that again.
00:12:57.000 What two chemicals are almost never transported together?
00:13:00.000 The chemicals that were on a train, I think EPA.
00:13:07.000 I can't remember what the name is the chemical group.
00:13:09.000 You're talking about the chemicals being the basis of their nerve gas.
00:13:13.000 One of the reasons why people are reacting the way they are in the town.
00:13:20.000 We're not putting any money into the cleanup.
00:13:22.000 They said they blew it up, which made it worse.
00:13:24.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:13:25.000 And now it's coming out.
00:13:27.000 They're saying that the blowing it up was totally unnecessary.
00:13:30.000 But just from your standpoint, Michael, how does it make you feel that America is sending another $10 billion to Ukraine and ignoring this crisis? 0.97
00:13:37.000 Well, I spent three tours in Afghanistan and war sucks.
00:13:42.000 And I don't want to go fight a war in another country, somebody else's pocketbook. 0.99
00:13:47.000 I mean, it's ridiculous that we're even sending anything because that guy is more corrupt than Putin is. 0.99
00:14:00.000 It's mind-boggling. 0.96
00:14:02.000 Well, thank you for your service.
00:14:03.000 We're going to lose soldiers.
00:14:04.000 No, thank you for your service and for that comment.
00:14:07.000 We appreciate it.
00:14:08.000 Thank you, Michael.
00:14:08.000 God bless you.
00:14:09.000 We have some emails here.
00:14:11.000 Charlie, are you supporting Vivek Ramaswamy for president?
00:14:15.000 I really enjoyed his interview.
00:14:17.000 He might have my vote.
00:14:18.000 Well, it's very early.
00:14:18.000 No, I'm not supporting him for president.
00:14:20.000 I'm supporting him as a friend.
00:14:21.000 I think it's actually a really good thing that he's running.
00:14:23.000 If you've not yet listened to our conversation with Vivek, if Vivek is able to successfully move the Overton window on a couple issues, that is worth running for the presidency.
00:14:35.000 If Vivek's job ends up being, and I'll give him all the credit in the world, to get people to focus on mobilizing the military to secure the southern border and repealing affirmative action, those two things are well worth a presidential run.
00:14:50.000 Now, I think he would be an, I think Vivek Ramaswamy, and you guys have got to listen to the interview.
00:14:54.000 You guys could check it out on our podcast page.
00:14:56.000 He would be an unbelievable chief of staff.
00:14:59.000 I think he would be an incredible anti-woke czar, incredible, where he's a presidential appointee.
00:15:04.000 Vivek, your job is to find the wokeness like a surgeon and extract the tumor from our government. 0.97
00:15:13.000 Go nuts, Vivek. 0.82
00:15:14.000 I think he'd be terrific.
00:15:15.000 So he's incredibly talented.
00:15:17.000 I'm glad he's running.
00:15:18.000 He's not my choice for the top choice, but I also think he's going to put pressure on some of these other candidates, Nikki Haley, soon to be Mike Pompeo, Tim Scott.
00:15:26.000 Mike Pence is almost certainly going to run.
00:15:28.000 They're not going to be able to just engage in platitudes.
00:15:30.000 You've got to get real policy ideas.
00:15:31.000 You have to really explain what is it you believe.
00:15:34.000 And he's also moving the Overton window.
00:15:35.000 It's like, why is this so complicated to say that we should mobilize the United States military to secure the southern border?
00:15:40.000 Why is this even an issue?
00:15:41.000 And I applaud that wholeheartedly.
00:15:45.000 I think that's really smart.
00:15:46.000 And I encourage you to listen to that.
00:15:49.000 He made a good case yesterday on our program here.
00:15:53.000 And we got a, I must have over 100, 200 emails very favorably saying that I might not be voting for Vivek because I'm a Trump guy or whatever, but he's really over the target on explaining why these ideas matter.

00:17:26.000 Look, I've received hundreds of emails from people.
00:17:28.000 I could just read one here.
00:17:29.000 This one is Terrell from Kentucky.
00:17:33.000 We have Earl from Indiana.
00:17:35.000 Very similar.
00:17:35.000 Charlie is Trump to blame for the train derailment.
00:17:41.000 Joy Behar certainly believes that.
00:17:44.000 Cut 108, Joy Behar, specialist in all things American infrastructure, weighs in Cut 108.
00:17:52.000 People don't know why they would ever vote for him because somebody who, by the way, he plays someone with deep charge to the chemical industry in charge of the EPA's chemical safety office.
00:18:02.000 That's who you voted for in that district.
00:18:04.000 Donald Trump, who reduces all safety.
00:18:07.000 He did.
00:18:09.000 Those voters saw something on the ground that probably resonates.
00:18:13.000 That's the thing.
00:18:13.000 But they need to look past the photo options and say, who's doing the job here?
00:18:18.000 Forget about the photo option.
00:18:20.000 Showing up as a bigger one.
00:18:22.000 I think this is Donald Trump's fault. 0.99
00:18:24.000 She's a very cruel person.
00:18:26.000 Now, admittedly, sometimes I say that, not situations this dire, honestly, but like when I hear Democrats complain about the economy, I kind of say what Joy Behar says.
00:18:38.000 You voted for that, but she's wrong.
00:18:40.000 They did not vote for this. 1.00
00:18:41.000 See, one thing if it's true, she's a liar. 0.95
00:18:44.000 But the kind of it's very cruel, first of all, if that was true, people are experiencing this massive chemical issue, and you're like, oh, you deserve it. 0.95
00:18:55.000 You deserve it.
00:18:57.000 You deserve it because you didn't vote for the person I wanted you to vote for.
00:19:03.000 That's really bad. 0.97
00:19:05.000 Now, here is the droid, the gay droid 127. 0.97
00:19:10.000 Secretary Judge.
00:19:11.000 You mentioned a national political figure who's decided to get involved.
00:19:15.000 It sounds like you're talking about Trump.
00:19:16.000 And then you said, I need your help.
00:19:18.000 How can he help?
00:19:19.000 Well, one thing he could do is express support for reversing the deregulation that happened on his watch.
00:19:27.000 I heard him say he had nothing to do with it, even though it was in his administration.
00:19:31.000 So if he had nothing to do with it and they did it in his administration against his will, maybe he could come out and say that he supports us moving in a different direction.
00:19:42.000 You could see that the coders behind the droid, they've changed the intonation of him.
00:19:49.000 He's got a little Obama going on now.
00:19:50.000 Do you notice that?
00:19:52.000 He can, he can cut a change and take responsibility because it uh it happened under his responsibility administration, and uh you know, it's uh I'm gay, and uh, so is my husband.
00:20:05.000 And uh, do you know I'm gay?
00:20:07.000 You can kind of tell they changed a little bit of the vibe, it's a little bit more Obama.
00:20:10.000 They got to dial, they got to definitely change that dial a little bit more.
00:20:15.000 You know, it's uh, it's a little too much Obama, they could use a little bit more Clinton.
00:20:20.000 I feel your pain, they got to find a happy medium between that.
00:20:25.000 It's just the they got to go back to the artificial intelligence drawing board.
00:20:30.000 So, let's go.
00:20:31.000 But what's the truth?
00:20:32.000 Is it true? 0.93
00:20:33.000 Budget is a liar. 0.99
00:20:34.000 Obviously, he's just pantomiming whatever his people tell him. 0.84
00:20:37.000 Joy Behar is cruel, not in defense of Joy Behar, but I don't find some of the attacks in Joy Behar on this particular topic to be a little bit disingenuous because I say it all the time when it's not life or death situations.
00:20:50.000 I say, Hey, you're complaining about the economy.
00:20:52.000 If you voted for Joe Biden, you certainly deserve it.
00:20:54.000 So, that sort of argument, I don't think, is totally unfair, but I do think it's unfair because it's a lie.
00:20:59.000 Cut 126.
00:21:00.000 Turns out, NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Hamedy debunks the claim that Trump's deregulation would have helped avoid the train derailment.
00:21:08.000 It is a falsehood.
00:21:09.000 Play Cut 126.
00:21:11.000 For this investigation and for this derailment, ECP breaks would not have prevented the derailment.
00:21:18.000 The wheelbarrowing failed on car number 23.
00:21:22.000 So, even with ECP breaks, the derailment would have occurred, the fire would have ensued, and the five vinyl chloride tank cars would still have to be vented and burned.
00:21:34.000 So, even with the ECP breaks, all of this would have happened.
00:21:38.000 So, the whole regime narrative was built on a lie.
00:21:42.000 And then, even if that particular regulation would have applied to this particular train, which it doesn't, you're trying to tell me that Donald Trump and the spirit of deregulating the American economy could be held accountable for a particular.
00:22:02.000 But we can't blame Joe Biden for the open border and we can't blame Joe Biden for what's happening in Afghanistan.
00:22:07.000 But it's not a matter of hypothetical, it is a fact.
00:22:11.000 That particular regulation would not have applied to this train.
00:22:17.000 And I just want to re-emphasize that Joy Behar was not making the argument that a lot of conservatives make, which is you voted for this, you deserve it.
00:22:24.000 She was really almost relishing in the pain, wasn't he?
00:22:29.000 Wasn't she?
00:22:30.000 Like, hey, you guys are suffering, but you guys got a bunch of Trump flags, so you're on your own.
00:22:34.000 To defend Marjorie Taylor Greene's spirit of what she wants in a national divorce, she's not wrong when she says we're living in two different countries.
00:22:45.000 When you have a talk show host that basically dismisses the suffering of your fellow countrymen and your fellow citizens by, I don't like your political choices, geez.
00:22:58.000 By the way, do you remember the professor when the hurricane hit Houston back in 17, 18, 19?
00:23:04.000 I think it's 2018.
00:23:05.000 The professor came out and said, Oh, they're all Republicans there anyway in Houston.
00:23:10.000 They deserve it.
00:23:12.000 A high-hazard flammable train, high-hazard inflammable train, HHFT, means a single train transporting 20 or more loaded tank cars of class three flammable liquid in a continuous block, or a single train carrying 35 or more loaded tank cars of a class three flammable liquid throughout the train.
00:23:32.000 Consist.
00:23:33.000 The regulation would have applied to trains with 20 or more class three flammable cars, yet the train had only three.
00:23:40.000 But who needs facts, right?
00:23:41.000 When you could just blame Trump voters for voting wrong.
00:23:44.000 Suffering's on you.
00:23:45.000 Sorry, it's a national disaster.
00:23:46.000 I mean, They're really close to the next time a tornado hits Oklahoma.
00:23:52.000 They're really close to saying, well, they did nothing about climate change.
00:23:55.000 Why should we send in FEMA?
00:23:59.000 They voted against our climate change agenda, and the tornadoes just keep on happening in Kansas and Oklahoma.
00:24:04.000 This is how these people think.
00:24:06.000 Okay, email us, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:24:12.000 Okay, I want to get to, got a lot of questions here.
00:24:15.000 Okay, yeah, this one right here.
00:24:17.000 Charlie, why is the administration so focused on diversity?
00:24:20.000 I don't care about it at all.
00:24:22.000 I'm struggling to put food on the table for my family.
00:24:25.000 When my kids get sick, I have to max up my credit cards for medicine.
00:24:29.000 We're barely making ends meet.
00:24:31.000 Meanwhile, illegals get treated better than I. 0.99
00:24:33.000 I wonder if I was gay and black, I would have an easier time in America. 0.98
00:24:36.000 Thanks so much. 0.97
00:24:37.000 Now, you might laugh at that, but that's interesting, isn't it?
00:24:40.000 Is there a certain prioritization being given in our country?
00:24:45.000 Are we having upside down racism?
00:24:47.000 Well, yeah, we've actually had it for a while.
00:24:49.000 It's called affirmative action, which is one of the reasons I was just so taken back when Vivek said, just get rid of it. 0.99
00:24:55.000 Just sign an executive order.
00:24:57.000 The tweet that one of our followers, Scarlett Johnson, tweeted out, she said, Levine, a biological man who identifies as a woman, openly validates Charlie Kirk's assessment of woke neoliberalism.
00:25:08.000 Now, in all fairness, I actually got this from Matt Walsh.
00:25:11.000 I've changed some parts of it, but the essence and the bones are actually from Matt Walsh.
00:25:14.000 I want to make sure the attribution is given to who actually is the brilliance behind this.
00:25:18.000 But I've changed a couple of things of it, but he really was the one that inspired me in this.
00:25:22.000 So, first, you must tolerate it, which was the tolerance campaign, and then you must accept it, and then you must celebrate it in the final stage of participation.
00:25:29.000 You must participate.
00:25:30.000 Notice how Levine goes through these stages, but omits the final stage of the indoctrination process, participation.
00:25:37.000 Now, if you want to get really deep, do you actually read the Marxist literature?
00:25:44.000 They talk about how children necessary to believe in Marxist ideas.
00:25:52.000 Do you know what the word they use?
00:25:54.000 They say widespread initiation.
00:25:59.000 They said people will only believe in queer theory and all this nonsense through initiation exercises.
00:26:05.000 That should send chills down your spine.
00:26:07.000 Levine, cut 113.
00:26:11.000 This whole thing is just such a mockery of the natural order.
00:26:14.000 It's like a middle finger to everything we know to be good, true, and beautiful.
00:26:20.000 It's a constant defiance to nature.
00:26:23.000 Play cut 113.
00:26:25.000 I call on you and all Pennsylvanians to work towards a spirit of not just tolerance, but a spirit of acceptance and welcoming towards LGBTQ individuals.
00:26:38.000 We all need to foster that spirit of acceptance and welcoming to LGBTQ individuals and celebrate the wonderful diversity of our Commonwealth.
00:26:52.000 Our children are watching.
00:26:55.000 This is a recently unearthed clip from a couple years ago, I think, of Levine when Levine was still.
00:27:03.000 What did Levine do before?
00:27:06.000 I actually don't know all the history.
00:27:09.000 But hey, let's just celebrate something.
00:27:14.000 I understand you can't feed your family, pay your bills, buy a home.
00:27:18.000 I understand that everyone's super depressed, anxious, suicidal.
00:27:22.000 Crime is up.
00:27:23.000 The border is open.
00:27:24.000 We're involved in a proxy way overseas or overseas.
00:27:27.000 The stock market is cratering and crashing.
00:27:29.000 The economy is in tatters.
00:27:31.000 But at least we have a lot of people of color and gay people serving in our government. 1.00
00:27:39.000 Play cut 110.
00:27:40.000 The cabinet is majority people of color for the first time in history.
00:27:43.000 The cabinet is majority female for the first time in history.
00:27:46.000 A majority of White House senior staff identify as female.
00:27:50.000 40% of White House senior staff identify as part of their racially diverse communities.
00:27:55.000 And a record seven assistants to the presidents are openly LGBTQ.
00:27:59.000 So, again, this is something that the president prides himself on.
00:28:03.000 So, let me just say something somewhat controversial because it's the end of the week.
00:28:06.000 So, Andrew, buckle up.
00:28:08.000 If you were actually making the argument for diversity, you're doing a really bad job because this is the worst-run government in American history.
00:28:17.000 If you actually, at your core, wanted to build consensus around more gay people and more people of color in government, this is the worst example that you could give.
00:28:30.000 In fact, I would probably lay off of that.
00:28:32.000 In fact, it would probably say, like, wow, the more you focus and emphasize on things that don't matter, the more your government starts to actually crumble and fall apart.
00:28:42.000 In fact, diversity is not the strength of the Biden administration.
00:28:46.000 Maybe diversity is your weakness.
00:28:48.000 Maybe the fact you focus on diversity all the time actually makes you unable to do your job, like keep trains on tracks, like be able to administer basic services to the citizens, like to secure the border.
00:29:01.000 And I know a lot of you say, Well, Charlie, come on, I thought you said it's America by intentional design.
00:29:05.000 This is what is so maddening.
00:29:08.000 Not only are they trying to do evil things, they're also incompetent in the basic things they're supposed to do.
00:29:15.000 It's the worst of both worlds.
00:29:19.000 I heard Republicans saying, Charlie, this is Gay Harris from Minnesota.
00:29:25.000 I heard a good conservative politician say, all money Ukraine will have to be paid back.
00:29:28.000 And there's any warheads manufactured they have to be made in America.
00:29:31.000 If not, can you please check on it?
00:29:32.000 I can't remember who said that.
00:29:35.000 I have seen no evidence of that.
00:29:36.000 You're trying to tell me Ukraine's going to be on a repayment package?
00:29:39.000 Yeah, they'll be on a 1,000-year repayment package.
00:29:42.000 It'll never happen.
00:29:44.000 Well, over $115 to $200 billion.
00:29:50.000 Anywhere between that.
00:29:51.000 It's just a guess.
00:29:51.000 We don't know the number.
00:29:54.000 While our own country falls apart, Donald Trump ran on America first.
00:29:58.000 This is exactly the type of thing that he was opposing, precisely the type of thing that he was going against.
00:30:05.000 I'm going to play some tape here of some of the commentary on Ukraine as we are now over a year into this quagmire.
00:30:13.000 Our government is doing nothing to try to negotiate peace, nothing to try to negotiate peace.
00:30:18.000 China is pushing for peace.
00:30:20.000 Play cut 111.
00:30:21.000 Now, news broke tonight that China will be rolling out a peace proposal tomorrow morning.
00:30:29.000 My reaction to this is: how sad is it that a brutal regime like China will be the leader in brokering the peace deal that we desperately need? 0.93
00:30:41.000 Something that we probably could have done, I don't know, nine or ten months ago.
00:30:46.000 Obviously, we could have done it.
00:30:48.000 Our government doesn't want it.
00:30:49.000 We are stoking the flame of the conflict.
00:30:51.000 We are accelerating it.
00:30:53.000 We're not trying to broker any peace.
00:30:54.000 Why would we?
00:30:55.000 It's too profitable for us.
00:30:57.000 Charlie, what do you think about Nikki Haley's candidacy? 1.00
00:30:59.000 The media seems to really go after her.
00:31:01.000 Well, I'm not supporting Nikki Haley for president. 0.91
00:31:03.000 She's welcome on this program.
00:31:04.000 I'd love to talk to her.
00:31:05.000 Let's go to Cut 85.
00:31:07.000 This ridiculous attack on Nikki Haley, though, should go responded to. 0.91
00:31:10.000 Wajahati Ali, it's quite a name, attacking Nikki Haley, play cut 85. 1.00
00:31:16.000 She uses her brown skin as a weapon against poor black folks and poor brown folks, and she uses her brown skin to launder white supremacist talking points. 0.99
00:31:24.000 And the reason why I feel sad is because no matter what she does, Mehdi, it'll never be enough. 0.98
00:31:29.000 They'll never love her.
00:31:31.000 Yeah, that's CNN.
00:31:32.000 CNN's spending a lot of time on Nikki Haley, and they're being awfully cruel. 1.00
00:31:35.000 And that's who the left is.
00:31:36.000 They're deeply unhappy people.
00:31:38.000 Let's go to this cut here, which is a separate one.
00:31:42.000 I did want to cover this.
00:31:45.000 Cut 65.
00:31:46.000 It's about social media companies, PlayCut 65.
00:31:49.000 The problem here is that the world has changed.
00:31:51.000 And so to your point, Joe, now you have companies that are actually not journalistic organizations that are disseminating information, some of it factual, some of it dangerous, some of it hate speech.
00:32:04.000 And they essentially have no responsibility.
00:32:07.000 I don't think we can allow it to go on as it has, where there's no consequences.
00:32:12.000 This is why we have to be very careful how we approach the social media issue.
00:32:17.000 With Elon Musk now owning Twitter, Rumble ascending, and other competitors coming out there, Democrats are going to then take basically take the offer from Republicans.
00:32:29.000 Sure, let's go restrict social media companies. 0.96
00:32:31.000 They're not going to restrict the size or the power.
00:32:33.000 No, no, no, no. 0.51
00:32:34.000 They want to put rules that conservatives can't speak openly and freely on these social media companies.
00:32:41.000 As much as we rightfully are able to complain and expose, believe it or not, Democrats are still saying that there's too much misinformation and disinformation on these social media companies.
00:32:53.000 Pete Buttigieg tried to say that before he overheated, before he just combusted.
00:32:57.000 He couldn't handle it.
00:32:58.000 One final question here as we end the week.
00:33:02.000 Charlie, thank you for your insight.
00:33:03.000 I've learned so much from you and Steve Mannon.
00:33:04.000 God bless and stay strong.
00:33:06.000 How can we support you?
00:33:07.000 Well, support Turning Point USA if you can at tpusa.com.
