00:00:00.000 What's going on, y'all?
00:00:01.000 This is Brandon Tatum hosting Standing In The Gap for Charlie Kirk on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:06.000 Incredible segment.
00:00:07.000 I answer all of your questions.
00:00:08.000 I love doing QA.
00:00:09.000 It's one of my favorite things.
00:00:10.000 Answer questions for former law enforcement officers.
00:00:12.000 We talk about the fact that people should probably be arrested for grooming these children in these schools.
00:00:17.000 You don't want to miss it.
00:00:18.000 It's so many things that we got into.
00:00:20.000 Follow me on all of my social media platforms at theofficertatum.com.
00:00:23.000 Filling in, taking the place of, I keep saying filling in, but I'm taking the place of Larry Elder.
00:00:27.000 It's an amazing accomplishment.
00:00:28.000 The Officer Tatum's show, three to six, Monday through Friday.
00:00:32.000 You don't want to miss it.
00:00:32.000 Y'all stay tuned.
00:00:33.000 I'll catch you on the next one.
00:00:34.000 I'm out.
00:00:35.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:37.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:39.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:42.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:48.000 His spirit is love of this country.
00:00:50.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:55.000 Turning point USA.
00:00:56.000 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.
00:01:05.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:08.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:17.000 Let me jump right into real quick the 2000 mule and the election thing, and then I'm going to come right to the questions.
00:01:25.000 2,000 mules, if you haven't seen it, I don't know.
00:01:28.000 You must be sleeping under a rock.
00:01:29.000 You need to go to Salem now and check it out.
00:01:32.000 But the election, we know if you have a level of common sense, you know something wasn't right in the election.
00:01:40.000 And I would argue that there was a lot of fraudulent stuff going on.
00:01:43.000 I saw it with my own eyes.
00:01:44.000 I know somebody personally that committed voter fraud in the state of Arizona.
00:01:49.000 I know them.
00:01:49.000 We caught them, reported them, and nothing has happened.
00:01:53.000 They're not going to do nothing about it.
00:01:55.000 Evidence.
00:01:55.000 You can't get any more evidence than somebody you know personally gets caught doing voter fraud.
00:02:01.000 But the thing is, and this is what I want to illustrate to you guys, because I know there's a lot of people who are disheartened by the election.
00:02:08.000 They feel as if there's no integrity in elections, so they might as well give up.
00:02:12.000 I'm telling you right now, you better not do that.
00:02:15.000 That is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard.
00:02:18.000 I hear people saying, well, if we can't ensure that election, then we need to, we don't have an election.
00:02:22.000 Well, you better take your butt out there and vote anyway.
00:02:25.000 We'll clear up the mess in the back end.
00:02:27.000 Outvote them.
00:02:29.000 Outvote them.
00:02:31.000 Trump only lost, even with the stuff that they may have done in the 2020 election in Arizona.
00:02:35.000 He only lost by like a few thousand votes.
00:02:37.000 I mean, I think it was 10,000 or somewhere around there.
00:02:39.000 I could be totally wrong.
00:02:40.000 Y'all go do the numbers for yourself.
00:02:42.000 It was a very small margin.
00:02:43.000 It's not like he lost by 100,000, 200,000 votes.
00:02:46.000 He lost by 11,000 votes.
00:02:48.000 I mean, if some of y'all would have got off the couch, he would have beat them even if they cheated.
00:02:55.000 Now, we are aware of some of the things that they've been doing so we can monitor it.
00:02:58.000 Many people are taking action.
00:03:00.000 The sheriff in Arizona, the sheriff of the Yuma County Sheriff's Office, he had made mention that he's going to start an investigation into some of these things.
00:03:10.000 If you live in a liberal state, you know, what are you worried about in the first place?
00:03:14.000 I mean, it ain't enough for y'all anyway.
00:03:17.000 But I do think you need to go out and turn out to vote.
00:03:19.000 And if you do not do that, you are being a part of the problem.
00:03:24.000 My plan is to get as many people registered to vote, get as many people out the vote, because this is the most consequential election in United States history.
00:03:31.000 If we don't make a comeback, we will lose America.
00:03:34.000 We will lose this country.
00:03:36.000 And some of y'all are going to be fighting for your life and struggling and wishing that you would turn out to vote.
00:03:42.000 Let me answer a couple of these questions.
00:03:43.000 Freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charlottekirk.com.
00:03:46.000 If you want to send some questions there, I'm going to try to answer them.
00:03:49.000 From Gabriel, you mentioned that the transgender LGBTQ community is a community and the fact that their concerns are a personal issue.
00:03:59.000 My question is, would it be warranted to become a federal issue if they were, I guess, pursuing or they were prosecuted or under assault in some way?
00:04:10.000 The second question is, okay, now I get your question.
00:04:13.000 So pretty much it's a personal issue.
00:04:16.000 And I think there's a big difference between what you're asking me and what the reality is.
00:04:20.000 Me saying that the people in the LGBTQQ community, if they are doing things and they want to turn their gender, that's their own personal issue.
00:04:27.000 That has nothing to do with somebody breaking the law against you.
00:04:30.000 You know, do I think it should be a federal issue, maybe a federal crime, maybe a hate crime?
00:04:36.000 I mean, that's totally fine.
00:04:37.000 When I'm referring to a personal issue, I'm saying that if you want to make the decision, it's okay for you to make that decision and other people don't have to accept that decision.
00:04:46.000 Now, a hate crime is a hate crime, right?
00:04:48.000 If you are attacking somebody specifically because of an orientation or because of a handicap or because of the color of their skin, then you are a complete idiot and you need to be prosecuted to the fullest degree.
00:04:59.000 But that has nothing to do with me accepting whether or not you're gay or not, whether me accepting whether or not you are LGBTQ or I don't know what they've been going down a rabbit hole.
00:05:07.000 And I'm going to say this, and I know a lot of people are going to be mad at me, but hey, blame Charlie Kirk.
00:05:12.000 If you are saying that you are LG, right?
00:05:15.000 Lesbian gay, okay, I get it.
00:05:17.000 I see why people are, you know, I see how that can happen to somebody.
00:05:20.000 But if you go to bisexual, get out of here.
00:05:23.000 You just horny and freaky.
00:05:27.000 I don't want to hear you say nothing about being bi because you actually can make a decision.
00:05:31.000 You just don't want to make a decision.
00:05:32.000 So I don't want to hear nothing.
00:05:34.000 So the rest of the alphabet to me becomes incredibly ridiculous.
00:05:38.000 Now, will I ever be mad at somebody for doing that?
00:05:41.000 No, I don't care.
00:05:42.000 It's just my personal opinion.
00:05:43.000 If I saw a person right now that was transgender, I don't care.
00:05:46.000 You don't, as long as you ain't hurting me, man, live your life.
00:05:49.000 You live in America.
00:05:50.000 Live your best life.
00:05:51.000 You know, you're going to have to deal with God on your own terms.
00:05:53.000 That ain't got nothing to do with me.
00:05:55.000 Just don't make me be you.
00:05:57.000 Just don't make me accept something that's not biologically reality, a biological reality.
00:06:02.000 Don't try to go in a restroom that you don't belong in.
00:06:04.000 Don't try to tell my kids and indoctrinate them about what you're going through.
00:06:07.000 That's all I'm saying about that issue.
00:06:09.000 But I do think that people should be protected from hate crimes and nobody should attack somebody based on something they disagree on.
00:06:18.000 The left has not gotten that concept yet.
00:06:20.000 Let me get to the next question.
00:06:21.000 I think this is a question.
00:06:24.000 Let me see.
00:06:25.000 Love you guys, but the Bible says it's best to not marry.
00:06:28.000 You can serve God better.
00:06:31.000 But if you can't control yourself, then marry.
00:06:34.000 Well, I don't interpret it that way.
00:06:37.000 I could be wrong.
00:06:38.000 I think that the Bible is illustrating that if it's going to be a distraction to you, it's better for you not to get married.
00:06:47.000 If God has called you to do mission work overseas and somehow you enter into a committed relationship with a woman, that is not okay with you going overseas and you will begin to have obligations of children.
00:07:00.000 Can you further your mission that God has called you to do?
00:07:03.000 If marriage is going to prevent you from doing that, then you need to yield or not get married.
00:07:10.000 However, the Bible does articulate the church and it compares that Christ is the head of the church and the father is the head of the household.
00:07:19.000 Every single person almost outside of Jesus, well, how Jesus even got to this point is because men were involved in relationships with women in the lineage from David all the way down to the lineage of Jesus Christ.
00:07:32.000 Even Mary and Joseph were married in the relationship.
00:07:36.000 So I think that God is instructing us to be married.
00:07:39.000 It's the best opportunity for us to be successful to be married.
00:07:43.000 But if God has called you to do something married that's going to distract you, it's better that you don't waste your time and not fulfill the calling that God has had on your life.
00:07:52.000 Next question.
00:07:55.000 It is not, it is no secret.
00:07:56.000 Chicago is one of, if not the worst places in America when it comes to crime, but more specifically, black and black crime.
00:08:03.000 Do you have any thoughts as to why it is, why it is if BLM wants to make sure that the world knows Black Lives Matter, what are they doing to work on that issue?
00:08:15.000 Well, let me just make this very clear.
00:08:17.000 BLM has no, I don't think they have any obligation.
00:08:20.000 They don't have any desire to do anything for black people.
00:08:23.000 It is literally a fundraising organization that threatens people and coerced them into giving money and influence so that they can push a political agenda.
00:08:31.000 They're not doing nothing for black people.
00:08:33.000 I have never seen, because we see children getting shot in the head in Chicago all the time in drive-by shootings.
00:08:39.000 We see young men, black men getting murdered in the streets in cold blood, mass shootings every weekend, and they don't have a single picture of not one of those people on their website.
00:08:47.000 I literally, David Doran was a police officer, a retired police officer, and got murdered trying to defend a property, and some thug murdered him.
00:08:55.000 He was on camera, and it looked worse than George Florida.
00:08:57.000 If you ask me, he didn't show up on it.
00:08:59.000 Secoria Turner, my followers raised over $300,000 for Secoria Turner's family.
00:09:04.000 And Secoria Turner, a young black girl in Atlanta, got shot in a crossfire between two black, idiot black men who were shooting out in a parking lot.
00:09:13.000 They didn't feature her not one time.
00:09:16.000 There are so many young men and so many children that have been murdered senselessly.
00:09:20.000 And Black Lives Near have not given them money.
00:09:22.000 They have not mentioned them.
00:09:23.000 They don't have no t-shirts.
00:09:24.000 They don't have no fundraisers, but they make money on the backs of dead black men.
00:09:29.000 And that's their whole M.O. Let me answer this real question real quick.
00:09:33.000 I think I can do it.
00:09:34.000 I'm a retired federal law enforcement officer and I arrested people for pedophilia.
00:09:39.000 Why are teachers in school districts being arrested for pedophilia?
00:09:42.000 Why aren't they being arrested for pedophilia since they are promoting teaching children as young as kindergarten about sexuality, gender, and all this?
00:09:49.000 I agree with you.
00:09:51.000 I agree with you, Penny.
00:09:53.000 People should be arrested for, what do they call it?
00:09:57.000 Coercing, coaching, grooming children.
00:10:02.000 There's a crime in grooming children.
00:10:05.000 And I believe that if a teacher is trying to convince or influence a young person about LGBTQ community and about homosexuality and about, you know, condoms and all this stuff in kindergarten and talking about sex and filling your body and masturbation and stuff like that, you are effectively grooming with intent.
00:10:24.000 You should go to prison.
00:10:26.000 And I'm glad that in Florida, Rhonda Santez made it a thing where parents can hold these teachers accountable.
00:10:32.000 I think they should do it across the country.
00:10:34.000 I think that should be interjected into federal law.
00:10:36.000 The funny thing is, is that D-Wade, the basketball player that got his kid all messed up, D-Wade admitted that his child was in a class with a teacher that was the LGBTQ, and that teacher helped his child feel comfortable coming out.
00:10:56.000 Now, you ask me, that's grooming.
00:10:59.000 You asked me, ironically enough, that woman was gay and his kid wants to be a woman.
00:11:08.000 You know, you now, I'm not saying that that's the case.
00:11:10.000 I'm saying that it's very suspicious to me that those things occur.
00:11:14.000 But continuing on with the question that Penny wrote, it says, this person says, the professor that John Hopkins hired, child molested abuse, says, in the words that says that the word pedophilia should be changed to minor attractive person.
00:11:30.000 Now, I have a theory, and many of you guys will understand my theory.
00:11:34.000 Many of you guys may agree with me.
00:11:37.000 I believe that the entire crux, the entire mission of the LGBTQ plus AAI double ARP is to allow pedophilia to be normalized, decriminalized pedophilia.
00:11:53.000 Why do you say that, Brandon?
00:11:54.000 That's an extreme.
00:11:56.000 Look at where we are going.
00:11:58.000 I remember in the 70s, homosexuality was a mental illness.
00:12:02.000 And then you move forward and you say, now homosexuality is widely accepted.
00:12:06.000 Now the churches have to marry people who are homosexual.
00:12:09.000 Then it's going to go from there.
00:12:10.000 Now they want your kids to be homosexual.
00:12:12.000 Now they're telling you that if you're a man and you don't want to be with a transgender woman, which is a man that is now transitioning into identifying as a woman, that you hate people.
00:12:22.000 I'm telling you, it's going further and further and further.
00:12:25.000 And if you don't believe this is true, and Penny had a great point here, that they're trying to change the word pedophilia to minor attractive person because they're trying to decriminalize it.
00:12:36.000 They're trying to use language.
00:12:38.000 Democrats do a tremendous job at using language.
00:12:40.000 Planned parenthood.
00:12:42.000 There ain't nothing planning about parenthood and planned parenthood.
00:12:45.000 It's literally planning to eliminate your parenthood.
00:12:48.000 Black Lives Matter ain't got nothing to do with black lives.
00:12:50.000 It literally have nothing to do with black lives.
00:12:52.000 They use these words to make you feel a certain way.
00:12:57.000 Therefore, they can push your rhetoric.
00:12:59.000 Saying minor attractive persons is decriminalizing the concept of pedophilia because nobody likes a person who's a pedophile or the word pedophilia gives you a negative connotation.
00:13:10.000 And let me not say you don't like a person that's a pedophile.
00:13:14.000 You don't like the actions of pedophilia and the person that did it because I am a firm believer that God can rescue anybody and forgive anybody of any sin that they've ever done.
00:13:22.000 So it's about the person, it's about the action, not the person.
00:13:26.000 Love your show.
00:13:27.000 I have what is probably a dumb question.
00:13:30.000 I don't believe that there's a dumb question.
00:13:33.000 Have heard a lot of people say that overturner Roe v. Wade.
00:13:35.000 I'm going to sum it up for you.
00:13:37.000 People are often saying, Roe v. Wade, if you eliminate Roe v. Wade, women are going to be co-hanging their babies.
00:13:42.000 Listen, don't be a brain dead person.
00:13:46.000 Roe v. Wade is not settled law.
00:13:48.000 And all it does, essentially, I ain't going to say all it does.
00:13:52.000 One of the major things that it does is give the right back to the states to make decisions.
00:13:55.000 Now, mind you, states already have rights.
00:14:00.000 States already are making decisions that are different between state to state.
00:14:05.000 Roe v. Wade has an exception.
00:14:08.000 It's not settled law.
00:14:10.000 And therefore, it's up to interpretation from states to be within the realm of the guidance of Roe v. Wade.
00:14:17.000 And I want people to understand this.
00:14:19.000 If you live in California, you're going to be able to allow the doctor to co-hanger your babies because you don't have to do it.
00:14:24.000 You can just go to the doctor at nine months and let them murder your baby for you if you live in California.
00:14:29.000 But if you live in Texas, they're not going to have that.
00:14:31.000 That's the way the United States of America should be.
00:14:33.000 States should have rights.
00:14:35.000 If you don't want to be in a state that ban abortions, well, first of all, you shouldn't be bumping and grinding, pumping and sweating if you don't plan on having a baby, or just move to a liberal state.
00:14:44.000 Actually, the government is doing you a favor because they're not stopping you from killing the baby.
00:14:49.000 You just have to move to the right state.
00:14:51.000 I think it's all a sin.
00:14:55.000 Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?
00:14:59.000 Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
00:15:05.000 Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
00:15:09.000 One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
00:15:14.000 Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.
00:15:25.000 So PAX Financial is wonderful.
00:15:27.000 They share our values.
00:15:28.000 In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.
00:15:34.000 Stop using the woke money managers.
00:15:37.000 PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.
00:15:41.000 So if you have $150,000 or more and would like to know more about biblical responsible investing at PAX Financial Group, text Charlie to number 74868.
00:15:51.000 That's Charlie at number 74868.
00:15:54.000 That's Charlie to number 74868.
00:15:58.000 So you just take out your phone, text the number 74-868, and type in Charlie to get to know about PAX Biblical Responsible Investing, biblical, responsible investing strategy.
00:16:10.000 Take out your phone, text Charlie to 74-868.
00:16:15.000 They're about to manage some money for me.
00:16:17.000 I really think highly of PAX Financial.
00:16:19.000 Text Charlie to number 74-868.
00:16:24.000 I want to get back to the question that Michelle asked about the Roe v. Wade issue.
00:16:29.000 Let me just say this: you know, I would love to do more research and figure it out because it's very confusing to some degree, but it's not that serious.
00:16:36.000 Like, I think that people should not, well, first of all, the politicians are talking about Roe v. Wade because they want to make this a political issue so they can win the midterms.
00:16:46.000 They can care less about you co-hanging your babies or dying or whatever the case may be.
00:16:50.000 They don't care nothing about the promiscuity.
00:16:51.000 They don't care nothing about your heartache and pain, nothing about the regret after you do it.
00:16:56.000 Women feeling lonely and depressed, and all of the things that come with having abortions, they could care less.
00:17:01.000 They want you to vote.
00:17:03.000 They can care less about the people at the border.
00:17:05.000 They don't care about them getting killed on the way over here, dying and getting left in the desert by coyotes, getting raped, and all of the above.
00:17:11.000 They couldn't care less, okay?
00:17:13.000 They just want your vote.
00:17:15.000 Roe v. Wade, I do not understand how a rational woman could be arguing about this at this point, or a rational man could be arguing.
00:17:24.000 Many of these states giving you up to 16 weeks of something crazy.
00:17:29.000 I mean, I think 16 weeks is even way too much.
00:17:32.000 They're giving you plenty of time because to be honest, a lot of people are arguing.
00:17:37.000 Well, what if you get raped or whatever the case may be?
00:17:39.000 Well, if you ask me, I'm pretty sure you know what happened to you at least within 24 hours of you having to go and get something done about it.
00:17:47.000 And so there's no mystery.
00:17:49.000 It's not like you get raped and you don't know you got raped for you know until you're pregnant.
00:17:53.000 I don't know if that's happening.
00:17:55.000 Anybody that's involved in incest, a medical issue is a completely different story.
00:17:58.000 And they always try to push this issue.
00:18:00.000 Let me just say this.
00:18:01.000 I heard Steven Crowder say this before, and I think it was a beautiful response.
00:18:05.000 He said, if you talk to people who claim to be so involved in caring about the people who are raped or incest or whatever, ask them, let's eliminate all of those people and allow them to have as many abortions as they can, or whatever the case may be.
00:18:21.000 What about the 99%?
00:18:23.000 Can you agree that all of that is wrong?
00:18:25.000 Oh, and they pop a gasket.
00:18:27.000 Their brains pop out and they pass out and they cry and they spit and roll around on the ground all day.
00:18:32.000 That's what they're going to do because they do not have a real solution to the problem.
00:18:35.000 They do not have, they are not acting in good faith.
00:18:39.000 As a woman, if you are to, first of all, you have to be doing the do in order to get pregnant in the first place.
00:18:44.000 So, but if you are irresponsible and you're doing that with somebody that, and I'm speaking about most of these cases, I'm not talking about if you're married and all this other stuff.
00:18:52.000 I know that there's nuances to that.
00:18:54.000 You definitely shouldn't be able to have an abortion by yourself if you're married.
00:18:56.000 It should be a decision between you and your husband at minimum.
00:18:59.000 But for everybody else, there's different options.
00:19:03.000 You know, if you get pregnant, you could say, well, I'm going to give the baby up for adoption.
00:19:07.000 It's really that simple.
00:19:09.000 It's better than killing the baby because what happens with many of these cases is that later on, after a person has an abortion, they actually go out at some point and have a child.
00:19:21.000 And once you go through the process from start to finish with giving birth to a child, you realize that there was another child that you had.
00:19:28.000 And all of the things you love about the child you currently see that's alive and well, you realize that you had another baby.
00:19:36.000 You didn't give them a chance like you gave your second child a chance.
00:19:40.000 That was somebody.
00:19:41.000 That was a person.
00:19:42.000 And as they grow up and develop, you realize that what would the other one have been like if I didn't terminate their life?
00:19:48.000 Then you go, then you figure out I actually would have been all right.
00:19:52.000 I did not know I was going to get a job promotion.
00:19:54.000 I did not know I was going to meet the man in my dreams.
00:19:56.000 I could have just hung in there and did the best that I could, and God was going to take care of me.
00:20:02.000 You don't want to live with that regret.
00:20:04.000 So, back to the Roeby Way thing.
00:20:05.000 You know, I think that people need to slow down and stop being ridiculous.
00:20:09.000 It should be a state's rights issue because it's not like being black, right?
00:20:14.000 The reason that there's federal crime and there's federal protections for people who are black, you know, regarding the hate crimes and different discrimination and stuff, because you can't control what color your skin is.
00:20:24.000 You go, you're born, and you come out with certain skin.
00:20:27.000 You sit in the sun long enough, you're going to be darker than you were before you got in the sun.
00:20:30.000 You can't control that.
00:20:31.000 That's human, that's human development and biology and melanin.
00:20:36.000 God made all that stuff.
00:20:37.000 You can't control it.
00:20:38.000 Okay, we understand that protection.
00:20:40.000 You can control whether or not you get pregnant.
00:20:42.000 99.9999% of people, you can control if you get pregnant.
00:20:48.000 It's very simple.
00:20:49.000 You don't involve in things that will get you pregnant and you will never get pregnant.
00:20:54.000 Okay, so I can understand why that's not a federal protection.
00:20:57.000 The states should have rights to say what they want to say.
00:21:00.000 And even beyond that, and I'll answer a couple more questions, I promise you.
00:21:04.000 Even beyond that, Christians, no matter what the law is, Christians should not be participating in any of these things.
00:21:12.000 Now, I know we're not perfect, and I know some people are Christians and they still find themselves sinning.
00:21:17.000 You can always ask God for forgiveness and repent.
00:21:20.000 Okay, repent.
00:21:22.000 Repent don't mean ask for God for forgiveness and wait for your next opportunity to do it again so you can ask God for forgiveness.
00:21:27.000 Repentance is turning away from the things that you were doing.
00:21:30.000 That means if you did the wrong thing, you turn away from it.
00:21:33.000 I had a child out of wedlock.
00:21:35.000 I said, I will not do this again.
00:21:37.000 God, forgive me.
00:21:39.000 And I wasn't perfect.
00:21:40.000 You know, I couldn't up sometimes, but I said, I'm going to turn from my wicked ways because I want to be married and I want to do what's right by God.
00:21:47.000 God blessed me with a wife, and I'm married, and we had a baby together.
00:21:50.000 We had a baby within marriage.
00:21:52.000 So the concept is that repent from your ways, ask God for forgiveness, and God will bless you.
00:22:00.000 Charlie Kirk here.
00:22:00.000 Hello, everybody.
00:22:01.000 Super important announcement.
00:22:02.000 Look, when you swipe your credit card, you're funding liberal causes dozens and dozens of times a month.
00:22:08.000 Every time you swipe that card, you might as well do BLM, LGBT, BLM, LGBT, Clinton Foundation.
00:22:15.000 But now there's a choice.
00:22:16.000 I got to know these guys.
00:22:17.000 I vetted them, checked out the technology.
00:22:19.000 I'm a partner with them.
00:22:20.000 I'm all in.
00:22:20.000 It's called Coin, C-O-I-G-N.
00:22:23.000 It's a new credit card built for conservatives.
00:22:25.000 I'm moving all my credit card activity under COIN.
00:22:28.000 And the Coin credit card is an unlimited cashback Visa credit card that is just like every other credit card you've ever owned with one huge exception.
00:22:35.000 Every time you use the Coin card, they contribute to conservative charities that support your values.
00:22:39.000 I'm using it and you should too.
00:22:40.000 Remember, we have to create a parallel economy, and this is a great new option.
00:22:44.000 Act now.
00:22:45.000 Go to C-O-I-G-N.com right now to sign up to get a conservative coin credit card.
00:22:51.000 That's C-O-I-G-N.com.
00:22:54.000 Join COIN and let's start spending right.
00:23:00.000 Let's see, Marcus from Gainesville.
00:23:02.000 It says, I've heard it said before that life in the black community had been better under the four years of Trump.
00:23:08.000 What is your take on that as a black man?
00:23:12.000 Do you think that it's true?
00:23:14.000 Do you think he should run again in 2024?
00:23:17.000 I had a public school education, so my reading skills are terrible.
00:23:17.000 Sorry, y'all.
00:23:20.000 Now, I do think that black people did do better under Donald Trump.
00:23:25.000 Not because I like Trump.
00:23:26.000 It's because the lowest record lower unemployment ever in history, the First Step Act, urban revitalization, all of those measures that were taken by the administration and put out into the ether, put out into legislation, were things that were positively impacting the black community.
00:23:46.000 Illegal immigration was down.
00:23:48.000 Crime was down.
00:23:49.000 The stock market was up.
00:23:51.000 I don't know if people think that black people only exist in the hood.
00:23:53.000 Like, there are black people out here trying to get money, too.
00:23:55.000 There's black people out here, entrepreneurs are owning businesses.
00:23:57.000 So, when the stock market is doing tremendous, breaking records every time you turn around, that means that black people who are in the business realm are flourishing as well.
00:24:07.000 Now, look at us.
00:24:09.000 Look at the inflation.
00:24:10.000 You tell me, keep it real.
00:24:12.000 Don't lie to yourself.
00:24:13.000 You ain't got a front in front of your mom and them.
00:24:16.000 Tell me, do you think you're living better in this situation under Joe Biden than under Donald Trump?
00:24:24.000 Explain that to me.
00:24:25.000 Okay, I already know the answer, and I'm not even a psychic.
00:24:28.000 So, you know what the truth is.
00:24:30.000 Don't live a lie.
00:24:31.000 Let me ask you this next question.
00:24:32.000 I'm a black, retired LAPD police officer serving 30 years, was on the streets during the Rodney King rides, and I've seen it all.
00:24:38.000 Just left the force two years ago and moved to the free state of Florida.
00:24:42.000 Thank God.
00:24:42.000 Thank God for you to relax.
00:24:45.000 Praise God.
00:24:46.000 This is my first time listening to you, and I'm a big fan already.
00:24:50.000 I appreciate that.
00:24:51.000 Can't wait to hear you on your own show.
00:24:53.000 I'm curious if it could just talk generally about your backstory, your time as a police officer, all of that.
00:25:00.000 What is your experience like?
00:25:01.000 Oh, that's great, man.
00:25:02.000 Thank you so much, Glenn.
00:25:03.000 I really appreciate you.
00:25:04.000 Thank you for your service.
00:25:05.000 And thank God that you moved out of Camifornia and moved to a place that's freer.
00:25:09.000 I just left Florida like a week ago, and I was like, hey, hey, I kind of like Florida.
00:25:14.000 Not as much as Arizona, but my wife, you know, me and my wife disagree on that.
00:25:17.000 She wants to move to Florida.
00:25:18.000 She wants to leave Arizona because she hates the heat.
00:25:20.000 But I told her, baby, God called me to lead.
00:25:23.000 And so I'm making executive decisions.
00:25:25.000 Say we're going to be here.
00:25:26.000 We can visit Florida.
00:25:27.000 Now, I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas.
00:25:30.000 I grew up in a diverse background.
00:25:31.000 My mom and daddy wasn't together.
00:25:34.000 You could say I grew up in the hood.
00:25:35.000 I articulated as growing up in and around the hood my whole life.
00:25:38.000 I got family members doing drugs, selling drugs, going to prison, life in prison.
00:25:43.000 And I also got family members that were doing the right thing.
00:25:45.000 I graduated from Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School in Fort Worth, Texas, right in the hood.
00:25:49.000 We had people pulling guns on each other in the parking lot, people coming off the off the street in the school, fighting people.
00:25:55.000 But we had a tremendous sports program, which led me to being an all-American football player.
00:25:59.000 And I had scholarships to any university I wanted to go to.
00:26:02.000 By the way, enthralled in this degradating culture that black people typically adopt, I had a bad attitude.
00:26:14.000 I got tattoos all on my arms, on my legs.
00:26:16.000 I got young savage tattooed across my stomach.
00:26:18.000 I used to have gold teeth in my mouth.
00:26:21.000 I mean, I was a mess.
00:26:22.000 I had a terrible attitude.
00:26:23.000 You say the wrong thing to me, we're probably going to square up and fight.
00:26:27.000 Got to college, and that is not a good mixture with college football.
00:26:30.000 So I was in the doghouse immediately, blowing up on the coaches.
00:26:33.000 I could not take coaching.
00:26:34.000 I could not take critique.
00:26:35.000 I took everything personal.
00:26:37.000 And things did not go well for me in the football realm.
00:26:41.000 Fast forward, I was a tremendous athlete in college football.
00:26:44.000 I ran a 4-3 and a 40.
00:26:45.000 I had a 44-inch vertical leap.
00:26:47.000 I literally would have outperformed every single defensive back in the 2005 NFL draft while I was a freshman coming out of high school.
00:26:55.000 You don't have to believe me.
00:26:56.000 You can look up the numbers.
00:26:57.000 Just look up Freak Athlete Arizona football and you'll see the article that they wrote about me.
00:27:02.000 Things didn't go well for me.
00:27:03.000 I still was in the 2010 NFL draft.
00:27:06.000 Oakland Raiders promised they would draft me in the sixth or seventh round, even though I did not play in college football much at all.
00:27:12.000 And they passed on me.
00:27:13.000 I had a draft party.
00:27:13.000 My agent told me I was going to get drafted.
00:27:15.000 They passed on me, broke my heart.
00:27:17.000 I'm missing the part about me getting saved, but I'll save that for y'all to watch me on my show.
00:27:20.000 I'll talk about getting saved.
00:27:22.000 But NFL didn't draft me.
00:27:24.000 I had a young son at the time.
00:27:26.000 I said, it's time to get busy.
00:27:27.000 I don't care nothing about no football and my dreams.
00:27:29.000 I need to be a good father and take care of my son by all means necessary.
00:27:32.000 Applied for the police department.
00:27:34.000 Never thought about being a police officer a day in my life.
00:27:36.000 Ended up doing a ride along, fell in love with it.
00:27:38.000 Officer Sean Payne, he's in my book that I wrote about policing in America.
00:27:42.000 He inspired me.
00:27:43.000 First time in my life, I saw a hero.
00:27:45.000 That dude was an actual hero.
00:27:48.000 And I said, I got to be like Sean Payne.
00:27:50.000 I'm going to be a police officer.
00:27:51.000 I served almost seven years in the police department up on the SWAT team, SWAT team, field training officer.
00:27:57.000 I trained at the academy.
00:27:58.000 I was a spokesperson for the police department.
00:28:00.000 And while I was on the police department, I began to be more political.
00:28:03.000 I said, my God, these taxes are coming out and they hurt.
00:28:06.000 So let me figure out who I need to vote for to pay less taxes.
00:28:09.000 And I realized that I wasn't a Democrat, that we've been lied to.
00:28:14.000 It's all a farce.
00:28:15.000 Thank you, Barack Obama.
00:28:17.000 And then all my friends pretty much helped me realize I'm a conservative, supported Donald Trump, went to his rally, made videos.
00:28:26.000 They went viral.
00:28:29.000 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?
00:28:37.000 Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?
00:28:42.000 Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:28:47.000 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.
00:28:57.000 You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.
00:29:00.000 And that is where a massively important organization called Second Vote comes in.
00:29:04.000 The courageous people at Second Vote are exposing corporations for how you spend your money.

00:29:44.000 Some people may be wondering, why in the world is your show called The Officer Tatum?
00:29:48.000 Well, I was a police officer, and everybody that has come to find out who I am know me as Officer Tatum.
00:29:56.000 Literally, sometimes I think my mom is going to start calling me Officer Tatum.
00:29:59.000 So I figured there's no better name for the show than to stick with that and consider myself as continuing to be the Officer Tatum, even though I'm a retired police officer.
00:30:09.000 But I will always be a cop.
00:30:10.000 I will always be a cop.
00:30:12.000 I still sit with my back against the wall at restaurants.
00:30:14.000 I still carry that, you know, I almost got hood on y'all.
00:30:17.000 Obviously, I carry that thing on me.
00:30:19.000 I carry my gun with me wherever I go because I am interested in preserving my life and the life of other people if the opportunity presents itself.
00:30:28.000 Back to the Q ⁇ A. If you want to ask a couple questions, you can send it to freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliefkirk.com.
00:30:36.000 I want to get back to the question from the former LAPD officer, Glenn.
00:30:40.000 He asked a tremendous question about my background and how I got to this point and a little bit of who I am.
00:30:47.000 I spoke a little bit about my upbringing, me being an all-American football player, you know, me being an NFL draft, joining the police department, being successful in the police department.
00:30:57.000 And now I'm coming back in full circle to just talk a little bit about how I got into politics because I was raised a Democrat.
00:31:06.000 When you black in America, and y'all can see it, you know, it vote 90-some percent Democrat.
00:31:11.000 There's some brainwashing going on.
00:31:12.000 When you're black in America, you are told that you are a Democrat and the Republicans are racist white people.
00:31:19.000 And you don't have any information to prove that differently because you're not exposed to any Republicans.
00:31:26.000 You just watch the propaganda news and every chance they get to lie about a Republican or tell the truth about a Republican, exposing them as in a way in which makes them appear to be racist.
00:31:37.000 That's exactly what they do.
00:31:38.000 But when you become a mature man and you start having responsibilities and paying bills, I cannot see how you are liberal and you vote for Democrats.
00:31:44.000 Now, my buddies were telling me on the police department, brother, you are not a Democrat.
00:31:49.000 Look at your boy Barack Obama out here cutting up, and I had no defense to it.
00:31:54.000 I said, Oh, y'all right, man.
00:31:56.000 I can't stand that dude.
00:31:56.000 He's literally ruining policing in America.
00:31:59.000 I don't respect anybody that does things like that.
00:32:02.000 And I looked at the Republican side for the first time in my life in 2016.
00:32:07.000 Donald Trump, I thought he was playing.
00:32:09.000 I said, this billionaire is going to come in here and make all these politicians look bad, get him some airtime, and he's going to go back to making his money.
00:32:16.000 He stayed in the race.
00:32:17.000 Ben Carson was my guy.
00:32:18.000 Ben Carson dropped out and endorsed Trump.
00:32:20.000 And I said, Oh my God, let me figure out what's going on.
00:32:23.000 Am I missing something?
00:32:24.000 I went to the rally.
00:32:26.000 It was amazing.
00:32:27.000 I thought it was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.
00:32:30.000 Everybody in the rally was cool.
00:32:31.000 Donald Trump came in like he was in a WWE, and the guy spoke to my heart, man.
00:32:36.000 He spoke to everything I cared about in the United States of America.
00:32:38.000 He wasn't a politician.
00:32:39.000 He was keeping it 100.
00:32:41.000 He wasn't scripted reading a teleprompter and doing all that old crazy stuff.
00:32:44.000 And I said, I love this guy, man.
00:32:46.000 I can vote for him.
00:32:47.000 Voted for Trump and realized that I was conservative.
00:32:49.000 Met Candice Owens.
00:32:50.000 I got so many stories about Candace Owens that it's out of control, especially how we met was a crazy, interesting story.
00:32:57.000 And I'll tell y'all about that on my show, The Officer Tatum.
00:33:00.000 But Met Candice Owens, we work with Turning Point, Charlie Kirk.
00:33:03.000 I'm on his show now.
00:33:04.000 It's funny how things come in full circle.
00:33:06.000 We used to work with Charlie Kirk at Turning Point, and now I'm subbing for his show.
00:33:11.000 But met Charlie, man, we did so many tremendous things in the black community, black outreach.
00:33:15.000 Been to the White House multiple times.
00:33:16.000 Candace Owens and I started Blexit, nonprofit organization to help inform young black people and give them options and give them information that they're not normally getting.
00:33:28.000 And now, I mean, look at how God has blessed me.
00:33:30.000 I want to take the last minute and a half to just talk about God for a minute and encourage somebody that's listening that you could trust the process.
00:33:40.000 Never say no to an opportunity.
00:33:42.000 I know, and I'm going to speak it right now.
00:33:44.000 I know that because I subbed for Charlie, did I want to sub for Charlie?
00:33:48.000 I love Charlie, but I was, this is, this is my free week before I start my show.
00:33:53.000 And I said, man, I don't feel like doing none of this.
00:33:55.000 But I said, you cannot say no to an opportunity.
00:33:58.000 I have a debt or loyalty to Charlie Kirk.
00:34:02.000 Charlie Kirk helped me become the man that I am, gave me opportunities.
00:34:06.000 So I said, forget how I feel.
00:34:08.000 I'm going to go feel in for Charlie Kirk's show.
00:34:10.000 And I know that God had a purpose for this.
00:34:12.000 Never say no to opportunities that are good for you.
00:34:15.000 Also, trust the process.
00:34:17.000 Four years ago, I would have never imagined that I would have been taking over the Larry Elder's show.
00:34:22.000 He was an idol to me.
00:34:23.000 And he still is.
00:34:24.000 I'd have never thought I'd be in that position.
00:34:27.000 Trust the process.
00:34:29.000 Build yourself.
00:34:30.000 Become a better person.
00:34:31.000 Know that God is in control of your life.
00:34:34.000 Don't worry about stuff you can't control.
00:34:36.000 Just do your thing.
00:34:37.000 Be yourself.
00:34:38.000 God has coordinated this life for you to prosper and to do well as long as you put God first.
00:34:47.000 So I want to say thank you all for listening.
00:34:50.000 Catch me next week, Monday, 3 to 6, on The Officer Tatum Show.
00:34:55.000 This is your host, Brandon Tatum, feeling it for Charlie Kirk.
