00:00:12.000 Also, President Trump's going to nominate who to the Supreme Court?
00:00:16.000 And finally, are most of these protests peaceful?
00:00:18.000 Because some people say that 93% of them are peaceful.
00:00:22.000 Is that true?
00:00:23.000 We dive into that story surrounding BLM Incorporated and so much more.
00:00:27.000 But first, before we get started, as we mentioned in the previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show, we have an anonymous and generous listener who is putting up $25,000 and will match every support dollar given dollar for dollar up to $25,000 for the next 25 days.

00:01:13.000 Important episode in store.
00:01:14.000 Here we go.
00:01:16.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:18.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:20.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:23.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:27.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:28.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:29.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:36.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:37.000 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.
00:01:46.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:49.000 Are you sick and tired of paying for basic services, home internet, cable, utilities?
00:01:54.000 Then there's your cell phone bill.
00:01:56.000 Who's your wireless provider, AT ⁇ T, Verizon, or T-Mobile?
00:01:59.000 What if I told you that PeerTalk USA uses the exact same network as one of those carriers?
00:02:04.000 Same towers, same exact coverage, but literally costs you half.
00:02:08.000 I know it sounds crazy.
00:02:09.000 When I first heard about Peer Talk, I thought this has got to be too good to be true.
00:02:12.000 But then I became a customer.
00:02:14.000 It's very easy.
00:02:16.000 Kept my phone and they sent me the same SIM card.
00:02:19.000 And now I'm getting the same great service I had before, but at half the price.
00:02:22.000 Listen to this.
00:02:23.000 Unlimited talk, texts, and two gigs of data is just $20 a month.
00:02:26.000 The average person is saving $400 a year.
00:02:29.000 So why is it so much cheaper than ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile?
00:02:33.000 There are no retail stores, no billion-dollar a year ad campaigns, and no value adds to your contract that you end up paying for.
00:02:39.000 So here's the deal.
00:02:40.000 Grab your mobile phone and dial pound 250 and say the keyword Charlie Kirk and you'll save $250 off any iPhone, including the new iPhone SE.
00:02:49.000 That's pound250 and say the keyword Charlie Kirk.
00:02:52.000 Peer Talk USA, simply smarter, wireless.
00:02:58.000 President Trump just announced that he is adding 20 new conservative candidates to his Supreme Court vetting list.
00:03:04.000 Now, this is a brilliant political strategy that the president did back in 2016 when many conservatives who were on the fence about President Trump found some comfort in voting for Trump because of the list of Supreme Court justices that he presented in 2016.
00:03:20.000 On that list was, of course, Gorsuch Kavanaugh and some of the other superstars that President Trump considered for the Supreme Court.
00:03:26.000 And he actually got two Supreme Court picks in his first term.
00:03:30.000 Now, mind you, this list is full of winners.
00:03:34.000 It includes 20 new conservative candidates.
00:03:37.000 And they all perfectly line up with exactly who President Donald Trump promised he would appoint and who he ran on appointing to the bench.
00:03:46.000 This is what Joe Biden is afraid of.
00:03:49.000 Did you notice that Biden has not told us who he would put on the Supreme Court?
00:03:54.000 When Biden was vice president of the United States with Barack Obama, there were two Supreme Court justices that were picked to the Supreme Court, Kagan and Sodomayor, two radical constitutional revisionists.
00:04:07.000 But why won't Joe Biden show us his list of justices?
00:04:11.000 Joe Biden is afraid to engage in this level of transparency because, quite honestly, it wouldn't help him politically.
00:04:18.000 It would reveal too much of his hand and expose himself to attacks from all sides.
00:04:24.000 Now, if Joe Biden revealed his list, he'd be attacked by from the left and from the middle.
00:04:29.000 They'd say, your list isn't radical or progressive enough, or they would say from the middle that your list is too radical and too progressive.
00:04:39.000 If Joe Biden was not perfectly in line with the taxpayer-funded abortion on demand or gun confiscation or the persecution of the church's agenda or nationwide lockdowns or mask mandates, the radical left would not turn out in big numbers.
00:04:54.000 But if Joe Biden's list did include these judges or candidates who did or would support those issues and more, he becomes open to an attack from the Trump campaign and the moderate wing of his party, confirming the suspicion that he is in fact a Trojan horse candidate for the likes of Elon Omar, Rashida Talib, Ayanna Presley, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:05:19.000 Joe Biden is stuck in a perpetual catch-22.
00:05:24.000 And it is a campaign issue that if we had an honest activist media, he should be pressed on over and over and over again until Joe Biden releases a list.
00:05:35.000 Voters deserve to know who a 78-year-old man, Joe Biden, would appoint to serve a lifetime on the bench, likely decades beyond Joe Biden's own life.
00:05:46.000 Donald Trump is transparent about this.
00:05:49.000 As I mentioned earlier, he added 20 new names to his already stacked list.
00:05:54.000 I want to run through some of those best options.
00:05:56.000 But before I do, I want to reiterate why this is politically so smart for President Trump.
00:06:02.000 For Trump, he's able to say, I do more interviews, more rallies, more phone calls.
00:06:07.000 I am more active than Joe Biden, and I'm more transparent than Joe Biden.
00:06:11.000 Typically, the more active, interesting, and transparent candidate wins.
00:06:16.000 In 2016, that was absolutely the case.
00:06:18.000 Hillary Clinton was the anti-transparency candidate.
00:06:22.000 So again, this list that I'm going through is compiled by our friends at Breitbart.com.
00:06:27.000 Added to the list, Daniel Cameron.
00:06:29.000 You might remember Daniel Cameron from speaking at the Republican National Convention.
00:06:33.000 Cameron is 34 years old.
00:06:35.000 He became the first African American ever elected to the office of Kentucky Attorney General in 2019 and was also the first Republican elected to that post in 70 years.
00:06:45.000 He is a supporter of the black Voices for Trump movement and delivered a well-received speech at the RNC last month when he talked about his ancestors' struggle for freedom.
00:06:55.000 Let's play tape.
00:06:57.000 I think often about my ancestors who struggled for freedom.
00:07:01.000 And as I think of those giants and their broad shoulders, I also think about Joe Biden who says, if you aren't voting for me, you ain't black.
00:07:11.000 Who argued that Republicans would put us back in chains.
00:07:15.000 Who says there is no diversity of thought in the black community?
00:07:19.000 Mr. Vice President, look at me.
00:07:22.000 I am black.
00:07:23.000 We are not all the same, sir.
00:07:25.000 I am not in chains.
00:07:27.000 My mind is my own.
00:07:29.000 And you can't tell me how to vote because of the color of my skin.
00:07:34.000 Joe Biden is a backwards thinker in a world that is craving forward-looking leadership.
00:07:41.000 There's no wisdom in his record or plan, just a trail of discredited ideas and offensive statements.
00:07:48.000 So I don't know if he's ready for the bench yet.
00:07:51.000 It's hard to say whether his record has been vetted enough, but I can tell you he understands what a Republican is and what it means to be a Republican.
00:07:59.000 Being a Republican is a fighter for freedom, is a fighter for liberty.
00:08:03.000 It's a fighter for dignity and for human rights.
00:08:05.000 The Republican Party was founded on anti-slavery.
00:08:09.000 The Democrat Party has always and will always be the party focused on skin color, not on values.
00:08:16.000 Also on this list was Tom Cotton.
00:08:19.000 Love Tom Cotton.
00:08:20.000 He has been a frequent guest here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:08:22.000 Tom Cotton is 43 years old and is currently serving his second term as U.S. Senator from Arkansas.
00:08:28.000 He's a conservative Republican and he has been frequently considered for his senior cabinet-level positions, potentially Secretary of Defense.
00:08:36.000 He graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School and worked in private legal practice before joining the U.S. Army Infantry.
00:08:43.000 Huge Tom Cotton fan.
00:08:46.000 He served one combat tour each in Afghanistan and then in Iraq and also served in the old guard at Arlington National Cemetery.
00:08:54.000 Tom Cotton had a very fun tweet about his recent, let's say, suggestion on the list.
00:08:59.000 We'll get to that in just one second.
00:09:00.000 Also on the list is Senator Ted Cruz, 49 years old and currently serving his second term as U.S. Senator from Texas.
00:09:07.000 Ted Cruz was, of course, Trump's main rival for the Republican Party nomination in 2016 and is widely recognized as a leading conservative voice in national politics.
00:09:17.000 He went to Princeton, Harvard law, and worked for the U.S. Department of Justice.
00:09:21.000 As the Solicitor General of Texas, he argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:09:25.000 He also taught law at University of Texas, Austin.
00:09:29.000 To change the news cycle, all President Trump had to do was say that he was going to put Ted Cruz on the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:09:36.000 And my goodness that it changed the news cycle.
00:09:38.000 Out of nowhere, I was starting to get emails from these left-wing activist groups saying we have to do whatever we possibly can to prevent Ted Cruz from going on the United States Supreme Court.
00:09:49.000 Nothing can get the media's attention off of the Woodward story, which we'll get to in just one second, like sending the left reeling over the thought of Ted Cruz, one of the most, if not the most, conservative Republicans in office right now, onto the Supreme Court for life.
00:10:06.000 Also on the list was Senator Josh Hawley, 40 years old, and is currently serving his first term as a U.S. Senator from Missouri.
00:10:13.000 He graduated from Stanford University and Yale Law School and he clerked for Chief Justice Roberts.
00:10:18.000 He has worked in private legal practice and for the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty.
00:10:23.000 He also taught law at the University of Missouri and he's a conservative stalwart and he recently opposed Congress's attempt to force the renaming of U.S. Army bases named for Confederate military leaders.
00:10:34.000 I'm a huge fan of Josh Hawley.
00:10:35.000 I hope to have him here on the Charlie Kirk show very soon.
00:10:38.000 Senator Hawley has suggested that he would decline the nomination in favor of continuing to serve Missouri in the United States Senate.
00:10:46.000 Now, Senator Cruz offered a more mixed message, seeming to neither confirm nor deny whether or not he'd take the position.
00:10:51.000 Senator Cotton, however, fully embraced it.
00:10:55.000 And he actually tweeted this.
00:10:57.000 And I quote, it's time for Roe versus Wade to go.
00:11:02.000 Senator Tom Cotton also tweeted, the First Amendment protects your rights to worship.
00:11:06.000 End of story.
00:11:07.000 He also tweeted, the Second Amendment protects your right to own a gun.
00:11:11.000 Period.
00:11:12.000 This is exactly what conservatives have failed to do for so long, leaning into the cultural battles.
00:11:18.000 Thank you, Senator Tom Cotton.
00:11:20.000 I love this list.
00:11:21.000 I think that the Republicans have such a great bench for the future.
00:11:25.000 I think President Trump may or may not be seriously considering Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Daniel Cameron.
00:11:32.000 But what he did do is he re-upped the bench of the Republican Party back into the mainstream of the conversation where the media does not want to cover how young and how energetic, how diverse the Republican Party actually is.
00:11:47.000 Tom Cotton tweeted this from his official Senate account.
00:11:51.000 Quote, the Supreme Court could use some more justices who understand the difference between applying the law and making the law, which the court does when it invents a right to an abortion, infringes on religious liberty or freedom, and erodes the Second Amendment.
00:12:05.000 Maybe.
00:12:06.000 Wow.
00:12:07.000 Maybe a Supreme Court with Senator Tom Cotton would be pretty awesome indeed.
00:12:13.000 In our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.
00:12:16.000 At least it used to be.
00:12:17.000 A new app called Thinker has solved that problem by summarizing the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:12:28.000 Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, including old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.

00:12:56.000 So, all of this comes on the heels of the Washington Post story from Bob Woodward and his latest book, A Contemplation of What He Learned Through 18 Interviews with the President, Himself, and Other High-Ranking Officials in the Trump White House.
00:13:11.000 I'm a friend of the president.
00:13:12.000 I defend him.
00:13:13.000 I do not know why the president gave 18 interviews to Bob Woodward.
00:13:17.000 Not for me to say, not for me to comment.
00:13:19.000 Maybe there's something I'm missing here.
00:13:21.000 But what gained traction today was this tape, and I want to play it for you.
00:13:24.000 Then I'm going to read it back to you.
00:13:25.000 We'll go line by line.
00:13:26.000 Play tape.
00:13:27.000 A moment of talking to somebody going through this with Fauci or somebody who kind of caused a pivot in your mind because it's clear just from what's on the public record that you went through a pivot on this to, oh my God, the gravity is almost inexplicable and unexplainable.
00:13:54.000 Well, I think, Bob, really, to be honest with you.
00:13:56.000 Sure, I want you to.
00:13:57.000 I wanted to always play it down.
00:14:01.000 I still like playing it down.
00:14:03.000 Yes, sir.
00:14:04.000 Because I don't want to create a panic.
00:14:06.000 Again, the president said, Well, I think, Bob, really be honest with you, I always wanted to play it down.
00:14:11.000 This was on March 19th, by the way.
00:14:12.000 This line is what the media latched on to.
00:14:15.000 Many failed to provide the full context of the quote, in which President Trump says, I still like playing it down because I don't want to play panic.
00:14:22.000 I think Kaylee McIneney absolutely ran circles around this reporter today for doing exactly that, leaving out the most important line, play tape.
00:14:30.000 I'd like to ask you about the Woodward interviews.
00:14:32.000 Did President Trump intentionally mislead the American people about the threat of COVID, a pandemic that has now cost the lives of nearly 200,000 Americans?
00:14:41.000 Absolutely not.
00:14:43.000 This president, at a time when you're facing insurmountable challenges, it's important to express confidence.
00:14:49.000 It's important to express calm.
00:14:52.000 Please play it down.
00:14:53.000 Is playing it down?
00:14:54.000 Is that expressing calm?
00:14:56.000 It seems dishonest.
00:14:56.000 It seems dangerous.
00:14:57.000 Can you read the rest of the quote?
00:14:58.000 That's how much they put in there.
00:15:00.000 Oh, you excluded the last part.
00:15:02.000 Don't play the full thing on 60% of the time.
00:15:03.000 Please, please do.
00:15:04.000 Please do explain.
00:15:06.000 Of course I deny that.
00:15:07.000 And he makes clear that he doesn't want to see chaos, by the way, is the second part of the quote, which you failed to read.
00:15:12.000 The president, just days after having this discussion with Bob Woodward, said this from this podium on March 30th, he said, I do want them to stay calm.
00:15:21.000 We are doing a great job.
00:15:23.000 If you look at the individual statements, they're all true.
00:15:25.000 Stay calm.
00:15:26.000 It will go away, but it's important to stay calm.
00:15:29.000 So this president does what leaders do, good leaders.
00:15:32.000 It's stay calm and resolute at a time when you face an insurmountable challenge.
00:15:36.000 That's what this president will not occur that the president lied to the American public about the threat posed by COVID.
00:15:42.000 The president has never lied to the American public on COVID.
00:15:45.000 The president's been very, the president was expressing calm, and his actions reflect that.
00:15:49.000 On January 6th, the CDC issued a Wuhan travel notice before any confirmed U.S. cases, among a number of other actions.
00:15:57.000 And I'd refer you to Dr. Fauci, who said that this president has an impressive response.
00:16:02.000 I can't imagine under any circumstance that anyone could be doing anything more.
00:16:06.000 That is the record of this president.
00:16:07.000 So the media is outraged.
00:16:09.000 They are incensed, seemingly because they're implying that Trump knew how deadly the virus was, that he himself in this interview called it deadlier than the flu, but that he downplayed it to the public.
00:16:21.000 Lord Fauci, as you can never discount anything he ever says, actually disputed the claim to Fox News's John Roberts, play tape.
00:16:29.000 Task force members with the president were talking about the reality of what was going on.
00:16:34.000 And then when we would get up in front of the press conferences, which were very, very common after our discussions with the president, he really didn't say anything different than we discussed when we were with him.
00:16:46.000 So I may not be tuned in to the right thing that they're talking about, but I didn't really see any discrepancies between what he told us and what we told him and what he ultimately came out publicly and said.
00:16:58.000 So did you get a sense that he was or wasn't playing this down?
00:17:02.000 No.
00:17:02.000 No, no, I didn't.
00:17:04.000 I didn't get any sense that he was distorting anything.
00:17:06.000 I mean, in my discussions with him, they were always straightforward about the concerns that we had.
00:17:12.000 We related that to him.
00:17:14.000 And when he would go out and I'd hear him discussing the same sort of things, he would often say, we just got through with a briefing with the group from the task force and would talk about it.
00:17:25.000 So, no, it may have happened, but I have not seen that kind of distortion.
00:17:30.000 So, they say that President Trump downplayed the virus, but none of that would actually be true if President Trump shut down travel from China, which he did, employed the Defense Production Act, which he did, and chartered the USS Comfort to New York, which he did, and became the world's leading producer of ventilators, recovered the stockpile of PPE that was depleted under Obama and Biden, fast-tracked a vaccine that will be ready, reportedly even before Election Day, and ramped up testing, becoming the most tested nation in the world,
00:17:59.000 all within the span of a couple months.
00:18:02.000 And yet still multiple Democrat governors at the time congratulated and complimented President Trump for his efforts.
00:18:09.000 Play tape.
00:18:10.000 Fact is, every time I've called the president, he's quickly gotten on the line.
00:18:14.000 When we asked to get support for that mercy ship in Southern California, he was able to direct that in real time.
00:18:20.000 What the federal government did, working with states, was a phenomenal accomplishment.
00:18:26.000 We've got 2,000 of these field medical sites that are up almost all operational now in the state because of his support.
00:18:35.000 And those are the facts.
00:18:36.000 His team has been on it.
00:18:38.000 I know a team when they're on it.
00:18:41.000 I know a team when they're not on it.
00:18:43.000 His team is on it.
00:18:44.000 They've been responsive late at night, early in the morning.
00:18:48.000 We are working very well with FEMA Region 2 and with the Army Corps of Engineers, building four field hospitals.
00:18:55.000 That was a decision the president himself took, and I'm grateful for it.
00:18:59.000 These were just extraordinary efforts and acts of mobilization.
00:19:05.000 And the federal government stepped up.
00:19:09.000 We needed help, and they were there.
00:19:10.000 He said everything that I could have hoped for.
00:19:14.000 And we had a very long conversation.
00:19:17.000 And every single thing he said, they followed through on.
00:19:20.000 We've got to have double the number of ventilators that we requested for that area of the state.
00:19:25.000 And in fact, we got them in, frankly, short order.
00:19:29.000 Have we lost anyone because we didn't have a bed or we didn't have a ventilator or we didn't have health care staff?
00:19:38.000 No. 0.81
00:19:39.000 The president was extending support for new swabs. 0.98
00:19:42.000 So conversation, commitment, promise made, promise kept. 0.93
00:19:48.000 But let's assume that the left is true in their premise for a second.
00:19:51.000 Where was their outrage when Nancy Pelosi downplayed the threat of the virus and encouraged everyone to join her in Chinatown for large unmasked gatherings in February?
00:20:02.000 Play tape.
00:20:04.000 Also to say to everyone, you should come to Chinatown. 1.00
00:20:08.000 Precautions have been taken by our city.
00:20:11.000 We know that there is a concern about tourism traveling all throughout the world, but we think it's very safe to be in Chinatown and hope that others will come.
00:20:22.000 Where was their outrage when Nancy Pelosi was handing out gold-plated impeachment pens as Trump coordinated a White House coronavirus task force and shut down travel from China? 0.91
00:20:32.000 She's second in line for the presidency. 1.00
00:20:34.000 She knew about the dangers of the virus, yet she promoted impeachment and tourism over the health and safety of the American people.
00:20:42.000 CNN, speaking of outrage, of course, did seem upset in January when they tweeted that Trump's Chinese coronavirus task force of renowned experts was, quote, another example of the Trump administration's lack of diversity.
00:20:54.000 I tweeted this out.
00:20:55.000 When President Donald Trump was meeting with health experts to tackle the Chinese coronavirus, CNN was busy criticizing the lack of diversity in the room.
00:21:03.000 I don't need Bob Woodward to tell me who took the virus seriously from the start and who didn't.
00:21:08.000 And it's true.
00:21:09.000 Any American who was paying even a sliver of attention at the time knew that President Donald Trump took this threat incredibly seriously when no one else did.
00:21:18.000 And the day after that tweet from CNN, President Trump shut down all travel from China.
00:21:24.000 And what did the top Democrat in the party do at the time?
00:21:27.000 Joe Biden called it hysterical xenophobia.
00:21:30.000 Play tape.
00:21:31.000 Coronavirus emanated from China.
00:21:34.000 A national emergency, you know, worldwide alerts.
00:21:38.000 The American people need to have a president who they can trust what he says about it, that he is going to act rationally about it.
00:21:47.000 In moments like this, this is where the credibility of a president is most needed, as he explains what we should and should not do.
00:21:57.000 This is no time for Donald Trump's record of hysteria, xenophobia, hysterical xenophobia.
00:22:05.000 Again, I don't need Bob Woodward to tell me who didn't take the virus seriously.
00:22:10.000 And what about Bill de Blasio?
00:22:12.000 Here's what Bill de Blasio tweeted.
00:22:14.000 Since I'm encouraging New Yorkers to go on with their own lives and get out of town despite coronavirus, I thought I would offer you some suggestions, he tweeted on March 2nd.
00:22:22.000 Here is the first to do.
00:22:25.000 Thursday on the 5th of March, go see the traitor at Lincoln Center.
00:22:29.000 If The Wire was a true story, plus set in Italy, it would be this film.
00:22:34.000 Again, Bob Woodward is not the arbiter of truth here at all.
00:22:37.000 And speaking of Bob Woodward, if he had this knowledge that Trump was downplaying the virus, why didn't he blow the whistle?
00:22:43.000 Why did it take him all the way up two months before an election to do this?
00:22:45.000 Because for Bob Woodward, he knew that President Trump didn't downplay the virus, but played in context of an election and in a political theater, it could make Trump look bad.
00:22:55.000 If the book is full of claims like this, then why did he wait till he could profit off of the president's so-called lies and his cover-up and not save lives and tell everyone the moment the interview wrapped?
00:23:08.000 None of this is serious.
00:23:09.000 It is activist journalism.
00:23:12.000 It's malpractice at best and criminal malfeasance at worst.
00:23:17.000 And just think about the timing of all of this.
00:23:20.000 It comes right as the nonsensical Atlantic story starts to die.
00:23:25.000 The day after Trump is revealed to be tied with Biden in Florida, which we covered yesterday, I encourage you guys to go back and listen to that episode of The Charlie Kirk Show.
00:23:35.000 And also, President Trump nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:23:40.000 This is another early October surprise, like the Atlantic story.
00:23:45.000 We predicted this in a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show, but someone brought up a really good point to me.
00:23:50.000 They emailed, they said, Charlie, of course, the president wasn't trying to panic.
00:23:54.000 It's the president's job to make sure the American people do not panic.
00:23:58.000 And there's a lot of wisdom to that.
00:24:00.000 It's the president's job to make sure that we do not have shortages of food, that we do not have runs on grocery stores.
00:24:06.000 If you might remember in early March, there was concern whether or not we would have enough toilet paper to be able to supply our country.
00:24:14.000 There were concerns of medicine and ICU capacity.
00:24:19.000 So the president's job has always been to clearly communicate the truth and the facts, but also keep that balance between outrage, crisis, bedlam, and hysteria, and also an honest arbiter of what is happening in the country.
00:24:36.000 I do not fault the president for saying this.
00:24:38.000 Talking to Bob Woodward is something that is puzzling.
00:24:43.000 However, the president has been consistent with decisive action, yet communicating to the American people very clearly as to the facts of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:24:53.000 This is yet another media spin doctor job to try to make you conservative constitutionalist American think lower of the president and try to retreat to Joe Biden.
00:25:08.000 It's trying to create that referendum campaign against President Trump.
00:25:15.000 With the ever-increasing number of makes such as Fiat, Kia, and Models, Pacifica, X-T5, it is impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.
00:25:26.000 Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning when you need something for your car?
00:25:32.000 If you need to repair and maintain your car right now, there is only one choice: it's rockauto.com.
00:25:39.000 Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.
00:25:43.000 Rockauto.com prices are all the same for everybody and are reliably low.
00:25:48.000 Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear, like airlines do.
00:25:56.000 Rockauto.com is for everybody and does not require membership or an account login.
00:26:01.000 Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low and the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers.
00:26:07.000 So, right now, go to rockauto.com, tell them Charlie Kirk sent you when they say, How did you hear about us?
00:26:12.000 It's amazing selection.
00:26:13.000 The best out there, reliably low prices.
00:26:16.000 All the parts your car will ever need, rockauto.com, rockauto.com.
00:26:24.000 Now, speaking of dishonest news and media malpractice, something has really been nagging at me for the last couple days, and I've actually really wanted to get to it in the previous episodes and finally have time to get to it in this episode.
00:26:39.000 As reported by CNN, about 93% of racial justice protests in the U.S. have been peaceful, a new report finds.
00:26:46.000 You might have seen this.
00:26:47.000 It's all over social media where the BLM incorporated activists have said, See, I told you so.
00:26:52.000 Most of these protests, most of these demonstrations have been peaceful.
00:26:56.000 93% of racial justice protests have been peaceful.
00:27:00.000 The report continued by saying the findings released Thursday contradict assumptions and claims by some that protests associated with BLM are spawning violence and destruction of property.
00:27:13.000 The report was produced by the U.S. Crisis Project, a joint effort by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, ACLED, and the Bridging Divides Initiative, BDI, at Prince University, which collects and analyzes real-time data on demonstration and political violence.
00:27:31.000 Well, first of all, if you actually dive into the data, do you know what huge incident was missing from this data?
00:27:37.000 The creation of the new country within our country, Chaz, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
00:27:43.000 That was not part of any of the demonstrations.
00:27:46.000 Was that peaceful when two black young Americans were killed in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone?
00:27:54.000 But let's even take this at face value, which we can't.
00:27:57.000 So only 7% are criminal.
00:28:01.000 7%.
00:28:02.000 Could you imagine if 7% of Trump rallies resulted in criminal activity?
00:28:07.000 Could you imagine if 7% of Trump rallies resulted in looting, arson, robbery, or widespread terror?
00:28:16.000 As we've covered extensively here on the Charlie Kirk show, the 150 black businesses that were burned to the ground in Minneapolis, the 600 minority businesses that were looted in Chicago.
00:28:26.000 Saying that it was mostly peaceful would be like saying, well, the German invasion of Poland was mostly peaceful.
00:28:31.000 Only 200 tank battalions were violent or dispatched.
00:28:35.000 Because if you take the macro data out of all of the protests or out of all the demonstrations that they showed, only 220 of them turned violent.
00:28:47.000 Or it's like saying, only 7% of the food in this restaurant was handled by someone with a Chinese coronavirus.
00:28:53.000 I hope you'll still financially support us.
00:28:55.000 Or it's like saying this: we should still support BLM Incorporated because only 7% of their gatherings turn into domestic terror.
00:29:04.000 If it was only 1%, this would be a big deal.
00:29:08.000 And again, I reject the premise. 0.97
00:29:09.000 I think this data is absolute, complete garbage. 0.77
00:29:13.000 I don't buy for one second this is an accurate statistic or study. 0.70
00:29:16.000 I don't think Princeton is being honest with us with how they categorize it because Chaz was not even part of this macro data set.
00:29:24.000 But more importantly, this is just trying to mainstream an insurgent BLM incorporated movement in our country.
00:29:33.000 This is trying to justify very troubling trends of insurrection and terror within America. 0.65
00:29:45.000 So this is worthy of us taking a pause.
00:29:47.000 What is the media's true agenda here?
00:29:49.000 The activist media's true agenda here.
00:29:51.000 Why do they want BLM Incorporated to continue?
00:29:54.000 Why do they want these widespread demonstrations of arson and of terror to go uninterrupted?
00:30:03.000 And here's the best way that I can square that: the activist media is no different than the BLM Incorporated activist.
00:30:12.000 The media member just goes about their activism completely different than the BLM organizer.
00:30:18.000 Bob Woodward or Chris Cuomo is no different than Nicole Hanna-Jones or Robin D'Angelo.
00:30:25.000 They just have different ways of going about it.
00:30:28.000 As Alexander Solshenitsyn said in the Gulag Archipelago, thanks to ideology, it is dogmatic ideology that drives these people.
00:30:37.000 It is a commitment to a firm, non-negotiable premise that America is an awful country.
00:30:45.000 That's what drives these people.
00:30:47.000 They are truly and honestly convinced that we live in the worst country, the most oppressive country in the world, that anything that we enjoy was stolen.
00:30:56.000 It was taken. 0.94
00:30:57.000 It's a system of oppression built for white people. 0.97
00:31:01.000 And if you take the Machiavellian premise, the Machiavellian morality, if I could call that, the ends justify the means. 0.96
00:31:10.000 Do what you must.
00:31:12.000 Overthrow the tables.
00:31:14.000 So the activist media and BLM Incorporated, they're actually much more similar than they are separate.
00:31:22.000 They're not separate industries.
00:31:25.000 They're not.
00:31:27.000 They're different expressions of a shared and desired goal, which is to try to bring forth America to the true beginning of history.
00:31:39.000 We talked about that in the previous episode about Karl Marx.
00:31:42.000 Highly encourage you guys to check that out.
00:31:44.000 And if you go a level deeper, the question should be, how do you stop it?
00:31:50.000 That's a question that we're going to wrestle with throughout this weekend with some of our episodes into next week.
00:31:57.000 Because if we are not serious about confronting these sorts of movements, they will continue to multiply.
00:32:03.000 And if the media tries to say that 93% of all racial justice demonstrations were peaceful, and how they categorize it, I mean, they categorized an eight-person protest as a peaceful protest.
00:32:15.000 Okay, that eight-person protest in some suburb outside of Dallas is not within the data set that is concerning us.
00:32:22.000 I'm talking about the mass demonstrations that resulted in looting, arson, and terror.
00:32:27.000 So here's a much better way to look at the data.
00:32:31.000 100% of the widespread looting and arson and destruction, widespread being the operative word, 100% of them were rooted to BLM Incorporated.
00:32:46.000 That's how the media should be covering this story.
00:32:49.000 You could reverse engineer it.
00:32:51.000 Say, when was there widespread looting, rioting, and demonstrations in the streets?
00:32:57.000 In the last couple months.
00:32:58.000 Okay.
00:32:59.000 Was it or was it not connected to BLM Incorporated?
00:33:02.000 And if yes, why won't you say that?
00:33:04.000 The reason they won't say that is ideology drives these people. 0.97
00:33:08.000 You can't have discourse, you can't have dialogue, and they're using this study that actually makes them look more foolish than ever before.
00:33:16.000 But to an untrained eye, to someone that's out there, they say, yeah, wow, maybe they are mostly peaceful. 0.98
00:33:22.000 It's nonsense.
00:33:24.000 It's like saying, man, 93% of people that walk down this street are going to survive.
00:33:30.000 Would you walk down that street?
00:33:32.000 93% of the time, this airline is able to land the plane.
00:33:38.000 Would you get on that plane?
00:33:39.000 Only 7% of cars crash today.
00:33:42.000 The standard that we have for BLM Incorporated now, oh, 7%? 0.97
00:33:48.000 Perfectly fine.
00:33:49.000 That's excusable because your outrage is so warranted, even though I think the data set is massively misleading.
00:33:56.000 I think the number is much higher than that.
00:33:59.000 The activist media and BLM Incorporated, they are harmonies of each other towards the same stated goal.
00:34:07.000 And you see here the media continuing to go out of their way to try to produce cover fire for BLM Inc. through a study from the Academy, the true origination of this at Princeton University.
00:34:20.000 We are going to dive deeper into what we can do about this prescriptively throughout the week.
00:34:26.000 It is almost 3 a.m. Easter.
00:34:28.000 I'm traveling the country trying to get our president re-elected.
