The Charlie Kirk Show - BLM & The Salvation Army's Sinister Attacks on Christmas in America

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:01.000 My conversation with the blacks who run Second Vote.

00:00:03.000 That's secondvote.com.

00:00:05.000 You could spell it out, or you can go to 2ndvote.com, use promo code Charlie right now for just $2 a month.

00:00:10.000 You can find out what are the companies doing that you're spending your money.

00:00:13.000 So here's how it works, okay?

00:00:15.000 If you fly Delta Airlines, you just probably gave money to Stacey Abrams.

00:00:18.000 Now, if that might trigger you a little bit, then you got to listen to this episode and then you got to get involved with Second Vote.

00:00:22.000 Remember, what you buy ends up creating the country you want to live in.

00:00:26.000 I know that's a whole new way of framing things.

00:00:28.000 We don't think that way as conservatives.

00:00:30.000 I'm never having Coca-Cola ever again.

00:00:32.000 Why?

00:00:33.000 Because they hate our country.

00:00:34.000 Now, it's a big sacrifice as I sit next to a thing of Fiji water.

00:00:38.000 As someone here bought a Coca-Cola product, they're no longer with us because they bought Coca-Cola products.

00:00:43.000 That's how it works.

00:00:44.000 Secondvote.com informs you to be able to cancel correctly.

00:00:48.000 That's right.

00:00:49.000 We need to learn how to cancel correctly.

00:00:50.000 People say, I don't like cancel culture.

00:00:52.000 I like canceling the left.

00:00:54.000 Secondvote.com. 0.99

00:00:55.000 You need to cancel American Express, cancel all these jerks that have done such damage to our country. 0.99

00:01:01.000 I know that some of you might say, Charlie, you're exaggerating. 0.99

00:01:03.000 Oh, really?

00:01:04.000 Where do you think Planned Pernod gets some of their money from?

00:01:06.000 Where do you think Bernie Sanders gets his money from?

00:01:09.000 Ben and Jerry's.

00:01:10.000 Where do you think some of these Democrat politicians are financed by?

00:01:14.000 Try Bank of America, Wells Fargo.

00:01:16.000 So if you want to expand your horizon and really purchase what you believe in, don't buy products from people who hate you.

00:01:26.000 Don't buy products from people who hate you.

00:01:28.000 It's secondvote.com.

00:01:30.000 And this is my conversation of how you can cancel correctly.

00:01:33.000 And producer Andrew's with me, co-pilot.

00:01:33.000 Oh, yeah.

00:01:35.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:01:36.000 Here we go.

00:01:37.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:39.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:41.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:44.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:48.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:49.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:50.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:52.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:57.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:58.000 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.

00:02:07.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:10.000 Hey, everybody.

00:02:11.000 Welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:02:14.000 With us again is our friends from Second Vote, the Blacks.

00:02:17.000 They do amazing work.

00:02:18.000 And also, co-piloting with us is producer Andrew, who's a big Relief Actor fan.

00:02:23.000 Say hi, Andrew.

00:02:25.000 Hey, everybody.

00:02:26.000 He is the mascot of Relief Factor and also the co-pilot today.

00:02:26.000 Glad to be here.

00:02:29.000 So much we want to get into.

00:02:31.000 And our audience just loves these segments.

00:02:34.000 I've loved this partnership with Second Vote.

00:02:36.000 It's so important.

00:02:37.000 And let's just kind of, some people have been listening to every episode we've done.

00:02:41.000 Some people are going to be listening to this as their first episode.

00:02:44.000 Talk a little bit, guys, about what you mean by second vote, about how the first vote you have is in the ballot box and your second vote is actually in all the products that you buy.

00:02:56.000 Yeah, the well, we have several ways we say it, but yes, the first vote is in the ballot box.

00:03:01.000 The second vote is with your wallet, and it is the dollar you spend or donate or invest.

00:03:08.000 And we can make a difference.

00:03:10.000 We can push back if we just are educated and wise in how we handle our treasure.

00:03:17.000 And the left knows this, but the left is much better at boycotts and intimidation.

00:03:23.000 We have a large body of conservatives and Christians that if we just pay attention to our dollars, we can make a huge difference on this radical leftist agenda that's just come to full bloom under President Biden.

00:03:38.000 And Charlie, I think, you know, the important thing about this for us is that folks don't really realize until you expose this about where their dollars go to when they buy a product and how that company that they're supporting is supporting things that they would never support with their dollars.

00:03:54.000 So this is a way to wake people up, give them an opportunity to know the truth, and then they can make those choices and decisions about where their dollars really go.

00:04:03.000 I think it's so important.

00:04:04.000 So let's get into some of the ones that we're talking about for this month.

00:04:08.000 Salvation Army.

00:04:09.000 We did an entire episode on the Salvation Army.

00:04:12.000 There's some good news because they retracted their policy.

00:04:14.000 I still think people should boycott them because I think that they're apologizing that they got caught.

00:04:21.000 I don't think they're apologizing for the statement, but the rescinding of the statement was a win.

00:04:27.000 Tell us what's going on with Salvation Army.

00:04:30.000 The nice people that are always ringing bells at Christmas, they've gone woke.

00:04:35.000 Well, personally, I think they lost their Bible.

00:04:39.000 I don't know where I don't know what chapter in scripture this particular behavior comes from.

00:04:45.000 But yeah, they went full-blown woke.

00:04:48.000 And it's just been it.

00:04:51.000 Well, I think what's equally troubling is, as you just mentioned, how they responded to the criticism.

00:04:56.000 You're right.

00:04:57.000 I think they got caught and then they apologize for an internal document becoming revealed publicly.

00:05:04.000 I think the issue is we need to demand that they disband this social justice committee.

00:05:11.000 This is where the trouble comes from.

00:05:13.000 That's so true.

00:05:14.000 They'd like the diversity office in the companies or these ad hoc committees or formal committees there now.

00:05:22.000 But to be asking Salvation Army employees, these people who are out there ringing bells or responding to disasters to apologize for white racism.

00:05:34.000 And if you don't feel like you're a white racist, then you got to apologize for everybody else who's white and is a allegedly a racist. 0.77

00:05:42.000 This is just racism. 0.95

00:05:44.000 That's exactly right.

00:05:45.000 And I don't disagree with any of what you said, although I do think we ought to take a little bit of credit for the fact that we expose them.

00:05:52.000 Oh, totally.

00:05:52.000 And cause them.

00:05:53.000 Yes.

00:05:53.000 It's a big win to get them to rescind it.

00:05:55.000 I think it's a big win.

00:05:56.000 Yes.

00:05:57.000 And we have to stay on top of that.

00:05:58.000 We can't let that go.

00:05:59.000 We've got to watch them and hold them to what they've now said they're going to do and be sure they're doing it.

00:06:05.000 Well, and also, just so you know, you know, one of the things about Second Vote is through our website, you can contact these organizations directly.

00:06:12.000 And we've had a lot of folks and a lot of our new subscribers from your show contacting Salvation Army through our website and pushing back.

00:06:21.000 And yes, I think they're hearing it from all sides, but they're definitely hearing it from your followers and the folks that are now coming to Second Vote because of you.

00:06:30.000 And it was a really interesting thing.

00:06:32.000 So they issued this back in the summer and no one really cared about it because the Salvation Army really ramps up near Christmas because a lot of retailers allow the Salvation Army to come and ring their bells and to collect change and money.

00:06:47.000 And the people that do it are really nice and entertaining and honestly really good people.

00:06:51.000 But then I think it was the Daily Wire that kind of broke the story.

00:06:55.000 They went back into it and said, wait a second, now that Christmas is here, you should know about this.

00:07:01.000 And at first, the Salvation Army, they held the line.

00:07:04.000 And then all of a sudden they realized the massive backlash.

00:07:08.000 And you're right.

00:07:10.000 We should celebrate in one sense where the Salvation Army saw wokeism as a charitable liability. 0.71

00:07:17.000 That's a big deal because not every company is doing that.

00:07:20.000 But at least in the immediate, they said, hey, if we embrace this nonsense, which they say it was like a left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.

00:07:28.000 That's probably true in an organization like that, where they have this diversity committee off to the side, but a good CEO would never tolerate that.

00:07:36.000 And so just talk, you want to comment on that, Mr. Black?

00:07:39.000 Well, yeah, I think what's really ironic here, you know, first of all, appeasement with the radical left never works.

00:07:46.000 I don't know why these people choose to do these things.

00:07:48.000 I don't know if they're just trying to play nice, but you may recall that just before Target announced its transgender bathroom policy, it was the season prior that they banned all target bell ringers from in front of their stores murder to Christmas. 0.72

00:08:03.000 So, you know, here you here you go.

00:08:05.000 You start dancing with the devil and you end up, it never works out well.

00:08:10.000 And that's what Salvation Army has done.

00:08:13.000 They have moved away from their foundational values, looking to, I guess, be relevant to the current craziness and relevant, unfortunately, in a very negative way.

00:08:24.000 Yeah.

00:08:25.000 And it's important because people need to know, CEOs and heads of charities, there is a price to this.

00:08:31.000 It's not just bad ideas.

00:08:33.000 And that's why I said on our show, boycott Salvation Army, but still give generously.

00:08:37.000 There's so many good charities.

00:08:38.000 There's so many people that help individuals in need.

00:08:42.000 And if all of a sudden, and by the way, I just want our audience to know what the Salvation Army issued was an incredibly detailed and just radical manual.

00:08:53.000 This wasn't just like a tweet by some intern.

00:08:55.000 This was in-depth, which it recommended readings from Ibram X. Kendi, Robin D'Angelo.

00:09:00.000 It says that people must atone for their whiteness.

00:09:03.000 It went even further to say that we must eliminate or challenge white culture. 0.91

00:09:08.000 And so it was extraordinary.

00:09:10.000 Andrew, do you have some thoughts on that?

00:09:11.000 Yeah, I think it's important that we actually read some of what this document actually said.

00:09:17.000 So the guide was called Let's Talk About Racism.

00:09:20.000 And it was actually released all the way back in April.

00:09:22.000 You said summer earlier, you were pretty close to the mark.

00:09:24.000 April, it's been a long time.

00:09:26.000 And no one cared because Salvation Army is really kind of a December fixture in the American culture.

00:09:32.000 So it was the supposed purpose here was to provide an internal dialogue on the issues of racism among members of the Salvation Army.

00:09:32.000 No, absolutely.

00:09:41.000 I mean, I've met people from the Salvation Army many, many times.

00:09:44.000 Never was that my takeaway that there was like this, you know, underground of deep, bitter racists in the Salvation Army.

00:09:51.000 So this is the direct quote.

00:09:52.000 While many salvationists have acted firmly and courageously against racism, the Salvation Army acknowledges with regret that salvationists have sometimes shared in the sins of racism and conformed to economic, organizational, and social pressures that perpetuate racism.

00:10:09.000 And here's the kicker.

00:10:10.000 It says, white culture has challenges it needs to overcome, including denial of racism, defensiveness about race, and states that white Americans need to stop trying to be colorblind.

00:10:23.000 And I mean, I mean, it's just, it's all about this colorblindness, which, you know, I don't think we should ignore that certain cultures have different aspects or attributes or elements.

00:10:36.000 But at the end of the day, I think what this outcry is about is that we should all be Americans first.

00:10:41.000 That's our culture, right?

00:10:43.000 And it seems like the progressives and the Wokesters and these, you know, this word that they use, Justice Commission, it's the, this is from the Army International Social Justice Commission.

00:10:54.000 And it's like, of course, we all love justice, but not like this, we don't, right?

00:11:00.000 When they use those words, the last thing they're looking for is balanced justice or the kind of justice you and how we use the word.

00:11:08.000 They use words in a way that sound good, but their actions are in conflict 180 degrees.

00:11:18.000 No, Piam, go ahead.

00:11:19.000 No, no, no.

00:11:20.000 I'm sorry.

00:11:20.000 I was just going to say this idea now that being colorblind is racist is unbelievable.

00:11:27.000 You know, we are told that we're supposed to look at people's character and who they are and not look at their skin.

00:11:33.000 And now what we're being told is, well, if you do that, now you're a racist.

00:11:38.000 They turn the world upside.

00:11:39.000 This is like, I'm increasingly calling common nonsense.

00:11:43.000 You know, Thomas Paine gave us common sense.

00:11:45.000 This is all giving us common nonsense.

00:11:48.000 Well, and so there's an article, and I don't want to celebrate this because it's actually kind of sad, but it's good in the sense that the organization realizes there's a cost.

00:11:57.000 I hope the essence of this story I'm about to read is diverted resources, not withheld resources.

00:12:05.000 Salvation Army facing historic toy and donation shortage ahead of the holidays.

00:12:11.000 And so people got the word out.

00:12:13.000 And by the way, charities are having record years.

00:12:16.000 Charities are doing very well.

00:12:18.000 A lot of people seeking deductions.

00:12:20.000 And so I could only possibly, you know, infer that the Salvation Army is now saying, like, wow, maybe we shouldn't have given some 26-year-old recent graduate from Brown all this power.

00:12:38.000 Well, I will say, as an adult, I have never walked by a Salvation Army kettle without putting something in it.

00:12:44.000 And I don't care how many times during the Christmas season I do that.

00:12:48.000 And this news broke also, just as we were getting ready to write our annual big check to the Salvation Army, and we did not do that.

00:12:55.000 I'm not going to do that.

00:12:56.000 You can't support this version of racism.

00:13:01.000 They call it, they allege that they're dealing with racism.

00:13:04.000 They are actually fomenting or fermenting racism.

00:13:08.000 Yes, I totally agree.

00:13:09.000 Andrew?

00:13:11.000 Yeah, I mean, I think we've hit this one.

00:13:13.000 The Salvation Army is they're not out of the woods yet, and nor should they be.

00:13:18.000 I think this is a massive betrayal to its donors.

00:13:21.000 And I'd say they've got a long road to come back from now.

00:13:26.000 And, you know, unfortunately, it's a proud organization with a long, great history.

00:13:31.000 And this should be a cautionary tale to any other organizations that think they need to give some C-suite executive $400,000 to come up with ways to ruin their brand.

00:13:43.000 So unfortunately, that's the result here.

00:13:46.000 And just remember, we always have a great alternative at Samaritan's Purse.

00:13:46.000 Yeah.

00:13:49.000 That's right.

00:13:50.000 Hey, well said are a ministry that is not going to fall.

00:13:56.000 Franklin Graham, the Graham family, they're not going to fall to this.

00:13:59.000 Yeah, they've held the line really well.

00:14:01.000 So, Andrew, what else we got on the docket?

00:14:03.000 Yeah, we got CVS and CRT.

00:14:05.000 Now, this is a story that we have not covered on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:14:10.000 So I'm excited for you guys to give us a little backstory.

00:14:13.000 What the heck is going on at CVS?

00:14:16.000 Well, one thing CVS is doing is diverting a heck of a lot of dollars, dollars that could be better spent.

00:14:25.000 I think the number I read was $600 million.

00:14:28.000 They're putting into this program of educating 100% of their employees on the same kind of nonsense that's gone on at Salvation Army.

00:14:37.000 It's to overcome this alleged ingrained whiteness racism.

00:14:46.000 And they are going through all the CRT motions at CVS, which for us is very difficult at Second Vote because they have scored well for us.

00:14:56.000 And now we'll have to put them under review.

00:14:59.000 We're going to have to rescore.

00:15:01.000 But they've been a good alternative.

00:15:05.000 But this is another example of corporate executives trying to appease the left.

00:15:12.000 But the six, you imagine that, $600 million, I believe is what I read.

00:15:16.000 They're going to put into this training program for all of their employees.

00:15:20.000 It's just an outrageous amount of money that could be better spent on salary or wage increases or benefits or return on investment to investors.

00:15:31.000 But to use the money in this form and fashion and to be telling a very large percentage of their employees that you are inherently racist.

00:15:44.000 You know, it's the same story, just a different organization.

00:15:48.000 And Charlie, we appreciate the fact that we can get this message out through you, where you have so many listeners that can take action.

00:15:54.000 I mean, they can go on the site, they can send a message directly to CVS and let them know that they're disappointed.

00:16:01.000 And I've said this before, you know, when I was previously in Congress, if we got five, ten calls on something, we knew we had a lot of angry people, and that's all it takes.

00:16:09.000 It just takes a small number of people letting CVS know that they're disappointed and they're not going to shop there anymore.

00:16:16.000 That's exactly right.

00:16:17.000 And we are going to have a contact CVS campaign, just as we've done for Salvation Army.

00:16:22.000 We're going to push this hard.

00:16:23.000 Dr. Black, you know, I would love for you guys to also make an addition to that.

00:16:28.000 So I, back when I had COVID, this was last year in the winter.

00:16:37.000 I went to CVS to get my prescription filled for HCQ.

00:16:41.000 I had a doctor that's friends of the show write me a prescription for it, and CVS would not fill it.

00:16:49.000 And I mean, you would not now, granted, I live in People Republic.

00:16:52.000 Yeah, HCQ.

00:16:54.000 I live in the People's Republic of California, but guess who would fill it?

00:16:58.000 Walgreens.

00:16:59.000 So I know that Walgreens gets a better score than CVS on second vote.

00:17:05.000 I don't know if this is a regional thing or if this was just my own personal experience, but I, you know, I personally was never going to Walgreens to get my prescriptions.

00:17:13.000 But in this instance, they would not fill it, even though I had a doctor's order, which apparently you would know better than I would, but they're not supposed to be able to override my doctors, is the way I understood it.

00:17:24.000 I am surprised by so many aspects of what's going on with COVID.

00:17:29.000 This is not medicine.

00:17:30.000 This is not science.

00:17:32.000 This is not a patient-doctor relationship.

00:17:34.000 This is nothing at all of what I've been engaged in.

00:17:39.000 And Diane, as a nurse, has been engaged in for all of our careers. 1.00

00:17:44.000 It just, there is a political aspect to all of COVID in so many different ways that is unhealthy to the practice of medicine and to the patient-doctor sacred relationship, which we used to have.

00:18:00.000 And that's been torn apart by this policies at the federal, local, and state level.

00:18:09.000 And I'm sorry to learn that you had that difficulty.

00:18:12.000 I know folks have been did obtain it, but people have been obtaining it by contacting doctors in other or pharmacies in other jurisdictions.

00:18:22.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:18:23.000 And we've heard similar stories on Ivermectin, for example, and much more.

00:18:28.000 Now, I don't want to put you guys on the spot too much here because we didn't prep this one and it's just breaking news.

00:18:35.000 However, we just came across the wire.

00:18:38.000 Google announces it will fire all unvaccinated employees, just broke, as we're conducting this interview.

00:18:48.000 Not surprising with Google, of course.

00:18:51.000 You know, we can't score them, I don't think, any worse than what they're scored.

00:18:54.000 I was going to say, aren't they a one already?

00:18:57.000 Yes, they are.

00:18:58.000 I mean, we could go back and try to score the blower, but I think we need to help us arrow in the ranking system here as well.

00:19:04.000 But what is going on here with these big corporations?

00:19:10.000 You know, these big international corporations, which were founded in the United States, they're no longer red, white, and blue.

00:19:17.000 They're just all green.

00:19:18.000 That's all they care about.

00:19:19.000 It's green and power.

00:19:22.000 And what is it with the, I mean, they are really adopting and acting as if they are a government agency, but a tyrannical government agency.

00:19:31.000 Yes.

00:19:31.000 This is, you know, they're not red, white, and blue government kind of private business.

00:19:38.000 This is communism, socialism.

00:19:40.000 Well, and Charlie can speak to this probably better than I can, but Twitter also just came out with a new user, I guess, policy that you are not allowed to now tweet that the vaccinated are capable of shedding the virus and infecting the thought crime.

00:19:58.000 Yeah, even though that's science.

00:20:00.000 And as a matter of fact, somebody tweeted out that Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, would then have to be banned from Twitter because she's tweeted the same fact.

00:20:10.000 Yeah.

00:20:11.000 You know, again, it's, you know, I always go back to Joe Biden in Iowa during the presidential campaign, where he says, we believe in the truth, not facts.

00:20:22.000 And the truth today is now what we say it is.

00:20:25.000 By the way, that's on film.

00:20:26.000 You can read his lips as well as the voice.

00:20:29.000 But that's what the left believes.

00:20:31.000 The truth is what we say the truth is, not facts.

00:20:34.000 And this begs the issue of natural immunity.

00:20:37.000 Why do they continue to demand vaccinations of people who were infected with COVID?

00:20:43.000 They have a far superior immune response with natural immunity, and yet there's still an insistence on a vaccination.

00:20:51.000 This is not science.

00:20:53.000 This is not medicine.

00:20:54.000 This is control.

00:20:56.000 And this is not America.

00:20:59.000 And I think more important than anything is the fact that this is not America.

00:21:04.000 You're right.

00:21:04.000 It's Silicon Valley.

00:21:06.000 It's this whole other country.

00:21:08.000 Well, and obviously the intention behind it is either to pander to these corporations or to kind of each side has their back, if you notice that.

00:21:17.000 Pfizer spends a bunch of money on Google advertising.

00:21:21.000 You know, the government needs Pfizer and all the people inside for handouts.

00:21:26.000 And then in kind of response, Google will censor the information that might disrupt Pfizer's profit schemes.

00:21:33.000 And then they just reparlay that into advertising dollars, which is 100% deductible, as both of you know, under the U.S. tax code, right?

00:21:42.000 So a lot of this is kind of an a quid pro quo, I'm going to look out for you type relationship and kind of insert it into all of that.

00:21:52.000 The way that they have been able to kind of calm any criticism of their corporate dominance is largely because of their embrace of this wokeism.

00:22:04.000 Is that people like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders?

00:22:08.000 Have you noticed they've kind of tampered down their corporate criticism in the last couple of years because they see that it's a it's a it's a um it's at least a temporary ATM or piggy bank for a lot of their left-wing social causes.

00:22:25.000 Absolutely.

00:22:27.000 But just take one step back, just so people so the audience understands the developers of the polio vaccine donated their research and their discoveries.

00:22:38.000 They did not profit.

00:22:40.000 In fact, they were quoted as saying what they developed belongs to the people.

00:22:45.000 And all we see today is a big money grab that's just making big businesses bigger and richer.

00:22:53.000 But absolutely, big business and big government walk hand in hand and both are dangerous.

00:23:01.000 And they're especially dangerous as they get closer and closer to each other.

00:23:05.000 And but that's always, it's always been true, but it's becoming more evident and it's becoming, I think, more sinister by the manner in which this is playing out.

00:23:14.000 Yeah, unfortunately.

00:23:15.000 Andrew, what else do we have on deck?

00:23:18.000 Well, it's sort of related.

00:23:20.000 And I know that was an aside here.

00:23:22.000 It looks like just to put a bow on that, that it's like January 18th is when they are going to be fired by Google.

00:23:34.000 So just so they're going to lose pay and then eventually their jobs.

00:23:39.000 And so that's Silicon Valley for you.

00:23:42.000 In related news, and this one hits close to home here at the Charlie Kirk show, because we interviewed Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:23:50.000 We were actually the second interview.

00:23:52.000 So he did Tucker, our friend Tucker, who's actually going to be back on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast shortly, right, Charlie?

00:23:59.000 Yep, that's right.

00:24:01.000 Coming up here soon.

00:24:02.000 We're going to have Tucker back on.

00:24:03.000 So anyways, Kyle did the Tucker, did Tucker Carlson tonight, then came on our show.

00:24:09.000 And there, you know, and we covered this then, but it's a fascinating story about big tech cited in that case before the jury had made its decision.

00:24:20.000 So maybe give us a little bit of the backstory there to remind our audience.

00:24:27.000 Well, I mean, from day one, from day one, politicians, big, the usual suspects, and big tech convicted Kyle Rittenhouse before any trial was had, before facts were presented.

00:24:44.000 Again, they believe in the truth as they present it.

00:24:48.000 But as a forensic scientist, I've spent a lot of time in the courtroom.

00:24:52.000 And I've never been involved in a legal case where as it played out in the courtroom, you didn't learn facts not yet understood.

00:25:04.000 There could be a lot of investigation, but from the playback, from the play of the prosecutor and the defense, a picture emerges and information is revealed.

00:25:13.000 Sometimes information is withheld.

00:25:16.000 But in this case, even from the beginning, the videos, unless they were redacted and tampered with, showed a pretty good case of an individual who was defending himself.

00:25:29.000 But here's the jury now who gets the chance to listen to hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of testimony.

00:25:36.000 They hear the detail.

00:25:37.000 They hear the first person.

00:25:39.000 And not surprising, after listening to facts, the jury reached a conclusion based on truth.

00:25:48.000 I was surprised by the verdicts.

00:25:50.000 I mean, I thought there's no way that this couldn't go to acquittal.

00:25:56.000 But I mean, listen, we're living in 2021.

00:25:59.000 We have no idea what's going to happen half the time, right?

00:26:01.000 There's a lot of pressure on these juries.

00:26:05.000 And yeah, it was, I think, I think it was irresponsible to allow the protests outside the courthouse, which could have been heard by the jury and probably was heard by the jury.

00:26:15.000 The potential for intimidation was great.

00:26:18.000 I admire this jury tremendously.

00:26:21.000 I think we should all really lift these folks up for listening to the facts and trying to reach the truth as they understood it to reach their verdict.

00:26:31.000 And that gives me really confidence that not, you know, the general public for the most part is not woke.

00:26:37.000 What we're seeing is these big corporations and we're seeing people with loud microphones that have the press's attention.

00:26:44.000 But when you actually saw these jurors do what they needed to do, they came up with the right decision and they had a lot of pressure on them.

00:26:52.000 So I'm encouraged that Middle America, the everyday person, is still awake. 0.85

00:27:00.000 And I think they are listening.

00:27:02.000 I think we are seeing them stand up.

00:27:04.000 And we're hoping that our program helps them to find a way to get the background and to be able to articulate why it is that we all have to stand up to what's going on in this woke society.

00:27:15.000 Yeah, and it really was narrative over facts.

00:27:18.000 And, you know, I got to know Kyle really well.

00:27:20.000 And they tried, I'm telling you, if there would have been any just sliver of path for them to put him in jail for the rest of his life, they would have taken it.

00:27:30.000 And thankfully, there was exculpatory evidence that was even withheld.

00:27:35.000 And it really is unfortunate that they're willing to, in some ways, offer as a living sacrifice to the woke gods, a teenager to try and fit a narrative. 0.61

00:27:47.000 That's basically what Kyle became: this is going to be a simulated show trial, right?

00:27:55.000 And no matter what it says, we need to get someone in jail who is of white skin color, who has a gun. 1.00

00:28:04.000 And they're the ones that racialized it, by the way.

00:28:07.000 We're not.

00:28:07.000 They've said this out loud.

00:28:09.000 And it's really, it was really disturbing the lack of adjustment so many people in the media had.

00:28:17.000 Some people even came out and said, Yeah, okay, I used to think you've done people down the streets, but and now I don't.

00:28:24.000 But the doubling and the tripling down shows that all they have is a narrative.

00:28:29.000 And if you dare challenge that narrative, they're going to come after you.

00:28:33.000 And so it's unbelievable.

00:28:36.000 I think history and what we're witnessing currently is great evidence that, again, the government coupled with big tech can try to control that narrative.

00:28:49.000 Fortunately, we still live in a very free society.

00:28:53.000 But we had our politicians convicting him before he was tried.

00:28:57.000 We had big tech convicting him before he was tried.

00:29:00.000 We had the media.

00:29:02.000 It's remarkable.

00:29:04.000 We have the president of the United States.

00:29:06.000 Biden called him a white supremacist.

00:29:07.000 So this, just to remind people, Facebook labeled the event a mass murder and blocked searches for Rittenhouse's name.

00:29:15.000 That's Facebook.

00:29:16.000 Twitter suspended an account that claimed Rittenhouse did nothing wrong and then censored another post claiming that Rittenhouse did nothing wrong.

00:29:25.000 And then they also blocked a fundraiser via GoFundMe.

00:29:31.000 And then after he was acquitted, when he didn't need his lawyers anymore, then they reinstated him and said, yeah, you can raise money now.

00:29:39.000 So this is how they do it.

00:29:43.000 It's collusion and they circle people, vulnerable people like Kyle in those moments.

00:29:51.000 And yeah, producer Connor just made a note that they were actually firing, people got fired from their jobs over donating to Kyle.

00:29:58.000 I think there was a police officer as well that got either fired or otherwise punished for donating to Kyle's legal fund.

00:30:10.000 I believe that happened more than once.

00:30:13.000 Unfortunately.

00:30:14.000 Yeah.

00:30:15.000 So yeah, GoFundMe says Rittenhouse fundraising.

00:30:18.000 Okay, now that he's acquitted.

00:30:20.000 You just can't make this stuff up.

00:30:23.000 So let's head to the next one here, guys.

00:30:25.000 It's banks try to cancel conservatives. 0.99

00:30:28.000 This is the largest U.S. banks cut ties to conservative groups, canceling Donald Trump Jr. events.

00:30:34.000 Now, if I know enough about this story, Don Jr. ends up getting the better of this particular one.

00:30:43.000 And I think it's another great example of why our voices matter.

00:30:46.000 Can you guys tell us what happened here?

00:30:49.000 Well, first of all, JP Morgan is a bad actor.

00:30:52.000 They're another one that we can hardly score worse than what they're scored.

00:30:56.000 Don't get me sad.

00:30:56.000 It was a experience with the people.

00:30:59.000 Yeah, a personal experience.

00:31:01.000 Several.

00:31:01.000 Sorry.

00:31:02.000 Yeah.

00:31:02.000 It's yeah.

00:31:03.000 But they, yeah, a subsidiary, you know, blocking this event, denying them access to financial transactions.

00:31:13.000 And there was pushback.

00:31:16.000 And they, JP Morgan had to overrule the subsidiary.

00:31:21.000 So there was sufficient voice raised.

00:31:25.000 But I think it proves the point time and time again.

00:31:28.000 If we speak up, we can begin to balance the scales.

00:31:33.000 But as long as we remain quiet, silence is affirmation.

00:31:37.000 So we have got to continue to speak up.

00:31:39.000 And this is another good example where they were looking to cancel Donald Trump Jr.

00:31:45.000 This is we pay.

00:31:46.000 We pay.

00:31:47.000 Yeah, we pay.

00:31:47.000 Yeah, we pay processor owned by JP Morgan Chase.

00:31:50.000 Yeah, it's like a PayPal, but a we pay.

00:31:53.000 And but isn't it amazing, though?

00:31:57.000 All these firms are so similar in their behavior and their verbiage.

00:32:01.000 I mean, how they express themselves.

00:32:03.000 There's got to be some meeting being held somewhere where they all get the agenda and they get the talking points.

00:32:09.000 It's just amazing.

00:32:12.000 Yeah, we've seen that, right, Charlie?

00:32:14.000 Well, yeah, I mean, it's just, so I'll tell you about JP Morgan.

00:32:16.000 I'm not trying, there's a lot of good people that work for them and they help me through this.

00:32:21.000 But I was paying taxes and, you know, we were building a new studio here at the Charlie Kirk show.

00:32:26.000 So I had a lot of incoming and outcoming in my account.

00:32:30.000 And so I was at the bank yesterday.

00:32:32.000 It's just kind of how it is.

00:32:33.000 You know, I was getting a cashier's check to buy something, you know, pay off a car.

00:32:37.000 And it was like five or six things.

00:32:38.000 And so all of a sudden, there was a fatal error message, which means basically I don't have access to my money.

00:32:44.000 Now, it wasn't because I was a conservative.

00:32:46.000 That's not, that's not why, right?

00:32:47.000 It was an AI thing.

00:32:49.000 But what was really chilling is that, yeah, the banks can basically say it's not your money.

00:32:57.000 And it was like this moment, and everyone was being really sweet about it and it got cleared up.

00:33:01.000 That's not the point.

00:33:02.000 The point is that at that specific moment in time, the banks basically were like, yeah, those are just numbers on a screen.

00:33:09.000 I couldn't withdraw $5 from my account.

00:33:12.000 It was a total fatal error message.

00:33:14.000 And I'm not trying to pick on Chase.

00:33:16.000 I'm sure Wells Fargo has AI fraud protection because that's what it's for, right? 0.92

00:33:20.000 There's so many ins and outs and they're trying to stop it.

00:33:23.000 And I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

00:33:24.000 I'm not trying to say it was centralized.

00:33:26.000 But if you connect the politics of JP Morgan with that sort of chilling moment that you realize, all of a sudden you're like, there could be a moment where a conservative wakes up and you don't have access to any liquidity at all.

00:33:41.000 That is one of the big motivations for second vote is that they know with money, the left understands this very well.

00:33:51.000 They've been working on this for years with pushing the whole financial world to the left.

00:33:58.000 There is this growing animosity towards Christians and conservatives.

00:34:02.000 And I think we absolutely are going to see more and more and more of this.

00:34:08.000 We need to speak up.

00:34:10.000 We need to push back.

00:34:11.000 If we do not, you're absolutely right.

00:34:13.000 One day you're going to wake up and find you're frozen out.

00:34:16.000 But we also, I guess, to get to the red-blue world or this divided world, we need banks that are there.

00:34:23.000 I mean, small local banks are not going to do that to you.

00:34:25.000 It's these big players, but we need to have alternatives that are nationwide alternatives.

00:34:33.000 And we just don't have that currently.

00:34:35.000 Yeah.

00:34:35.000 And again, I just, it got rectified.

00:34:38.000 It got solved.

00:34:38.000 I'm not trying to, you know, there are a lot of good people that work for the company.

00:34:41.000 I don't want to be fear-mongering, but there can be a moment where the bank tells you it's not your money.

00:34:48.000 And now there's laws.

00:34:49.000 Eventually they have to give it back to you and you'll win all that.

00:34:53.000 But if you're in a moment where you really need to pay something, for example, what if JP Morgan froze the accounts of conservatives three days before tax day?

00:35:01.000 That's a big, that's a real thing, right?

00:35:03.000 Sorry, your liquidity, you can't draw it out, can't pay your taxes.

00:35:06.000 Oh, really?

00:35:08.000 Well, go ahead, Andrew.

00:35:09.000 Yeah, no, there was the story of the little known story about AT ⁇ T basically stopped text messages from the campaign to raise money, the Trump campaign, a couple days before the election last year.

00:35:24.000 I mean, so these kinds of things happen.

00:35:26.000 And then you've got the Biden administration was trying to surveil bank accounts with over $600 in annual transactions.

00:35:35.000 Now they backed down on that from pushback.

00:35:38.000 But this is what they're trying to do.

00:35:41.000 They're trying to control the levers of the financial industry.

00:35:46.000 And to your point, Dr. Black, I mean, this is why it's so important to have alternatives.

00:35:51.000 I know there's a number of efforts underway. to start alternative banking and financial instruments.

00:35:57.000 Some have already happened.

00:35:58.000 We on the Charlie Kirk show, if you want to go to charliekirk.com slash support, we use something called Cornerstone, which is owned by Christians, which is a really great credit card processing company. 0.99

00:36:10.000 But, you know, this is why alternatives are so important.

00:36:13.000 This is why scoring these banks is so important and why using the platform of Second Vote to actually raise your voice together.

00:36:21.000 Because not everybody is Don Jr., right?

00:36:24.000 Not everybody has millions of followers on Twitter.

00:36:26.000 Not everybody can be Charlie Kirk.

00:36:28.000 But together with the collective voice of the Second Vote community, you can get a lot done and a lot accomplished.

00:36:36.000 And just quickly, I know we want to move on, but we, one of the programs under Second Vote is a religious liberty coalition, which is looking to protect churches that may come under attack from the left.

00:36:47.000 And we had one of our pastors on vacation down in Florida, and Bank of America cut off their credit cards while they were on vacation.

00:36:54.000 They couldn't get access to their money.

00:36:56.000 And they said, oh, we'll close out your account and send you your money in a week.

00:37:00.000 But the church and the pastor could not get access to their money.

00:37:05.000 Well, I just want to reiterate for our audience, secondvote.com.

00:37:08.000 You could spell it out, secondvote.com or 2ndvote.com, promo code Charlie for 50% off.

00:37:14.000 Everyone, buy a membership if you can.

00:37:16.000 It's incredibly important to support this great organization and know where your dollars are flowing.

00:37:24.000 I wish we could keep talking, guys.

00:37:25.000 So we'll have to do it again next month.

00:37:27.000 Andrew?

00:37:28.000 Yeah, one last thing before we head off.

00:37:31.000 This CVS take action campaign is really, really important.

00:37:35.000 I think that's the clarion call.

00:37:36.000 If anybody listening right now has the one action step to do from this, it's go to Second Vote website, use the promo code Charlie, but then search for CVS and scroll down to take action, right?

00:37:48.000 That's the proper step-by-step.

00:37:51.000 And then write a message to CVS and tell them to knock off this CRT nonsense.

00:37:56.000 Absolutely.

00:37:57.000 This is something that we can do.

00:37:58.000 I think if we really push together as a collective, I'm going to do it as soon as we get off the interview with you guys.

00:38:04.000 I think if we all group our voices together, we can really force a change at CVS and their culture.

00:38:10.000 And I would love for the next time you guys get on the Charlie Kirk show that we have that to report back.

00:38:16.000 Great.

00:38:17.000 Great.

00:38:17.000 Thank you.

00:38:18.000 And by the way, you're hired, Andrew.

00:38:19.000 Yeah, you did it perfectly.

00:38:20.000 I love it.

00:38:21.000 And thank you so much.

00:38:22.000 Merry Christmas.

00:38:23.000 Merry Christmas, secondvote.com.
