00:02:58.000President Trump just announced that he is adding 20 new conservative candidates to his Supreme Court vetting list.
00:03:04.000Now, 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.
00:03:20.000On that list was, of course, Gorsuch Kavanaugh and some of the other superstars that President Trump considered for the Supreme Court.
00:03:26.000And he actually got two Supreme Court picks in his first term.
00:03:30.000Now, mind you, this list is full of winners.
00:03:34.000It includes 20 new conservative candidates.
00:03:37.000And they all perfectly line up with exactly who President Donald Trump promised he would appoint and who he ran on appointing to the bench.
00:03:49.000Did you notice that Biden has not told us who he would put on the Supreme Court?
00:03:54.000When 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.
00:04:07.000But why won't Joe Biden show us his list of justices?
00:04:11.000Joe Biden is afraid to engage in this level of transparency because, quite honestly, it wouldn't help him politically.
00:04:18.000It would reveal too much of his hand and expose himself to attacks from all sides.
00:04:24.000Now, if Joe Biden revealed his list, he'd be attacked by from the left and from the middle.
00:04:29.000They'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.
00:04:39.000If 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.
00:04:54.000But 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.
00:05:19.000Joe Biden is stuck in a perpetual catch-22.
00:05:24.000And 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.
00:05:35.000Voters 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.
00:05:46.000Donald Trump is transparent about this.
00:05:49.000As I mentioned earlier, he added 20 new names to his already stacked list.
00:05:54.000I want to run through some of those best options.
00:05:56.000But before I do, I want to reiterate why this is politically so smart for President Trump.
00:06:02.000For Trump, he's able to say, I do more interviews, more rallies, more phone calls.
00:06:07.000I am more active than Joe Biden, and I'm more transparent than Joe Biden.
00:06:11.000Typically, the more active, interesting, and transparent candidate wins.
00:06:16.000In 2016, that was absolutely the case.
00:06:18.000Hillary Clinton was the anti-transparency candidate.
00:06:22.000So again, this list that I'm going through is compiled by our friends at Breitbart.com.
00:06:35.000He 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.
00:06:45.000He 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.
00:06:57.000I think often about my ancestors who struggled for freedom.
00:07:01.000And 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.
00:07:11.000Who argued that Republicans would put us back in chains.
00:07:15.000Who says there is no diversity of thought in the black community?
00:07:29.000And you can't tell me how to vote because of the color of my skin.
00:07:34.000Joe Biden is a backwards thinker in a world that is craving forward-looking leadership.
00:07:41.000There's no wisdom in his record or plan, just a trail of discredited ideas and offensive statements.
00:07:48.000So I don't know if he's ready for the bench yet.
00:07:51.000It'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.
00:07:59.000Being a Republican is a fighter for freedom, is a fighter for liberty.
00:08:03.000It's a fighter for dignity and for human rights.
00:08:05.000The Republican Party was founded on anti-slavery.
00:08:09.000The Democrat Party has always and will always be the party focused on skin color, not on values.
00:08:20.000He has been a frequent guest here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:08:22.000Tom Cotton is 43 years old and is currently serving his second term as U.S. Senator from Arkansas.
00:08:28.000He's a conservative Republican and he has been frequently considered for his senior cabinet-level positions, potentially Secretary of Defense.
00:08:36.000He graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School and worked in private legal practice before joining the U.S. Army Infantry.
00:09:00.000Also on the list is Senator Ted Cruz, 49 years old and currently serving his second term as U.S. Senator from Texas.
00:09:07.000Ted 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.
00:09:17.000He went to Princeton, Harvard law, and worked for the U.S. Department of Justice.
00:09:21.000As the Solicitor General of Texas, he argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:09:25.000He also taught law at University of Texas, Austin.
00:09:29.000To 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.
00:09:36.000And my goodness that it changed the news cycle.
00:09:38.000Out 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.
00:09:49.000Nothing 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.
00:10:06.000Also on the list was Senator Josh Hawley, 40 years old, and is currently serving his first term as a U.S. Senator from Missouri.
00:10:13.000He graduated from Stanford University and Yale Law School and he clerked for Chief Justice Roberts.
00:10:18.000He has worked in private legal practice and for the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty.
00:10:23.000He 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.
00:11:21.000I think that the Republicans have such a great bench for the future.
00:11:25.000I think President Trump may or may not be seriously considering Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Daniel Cameron.
00:11:32.000But 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.
00:11:47.000Tom Cotton tweeted this from his official Senate account.
00:11:51.000Quote, 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.
00:12:17.000A 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.

00:12:56.000So, 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.
00:13:27.000A 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.
00:13:54.000Well, I think, Bob, really, to be honest with you.
00:14:12.000This line is what the media latched on to.
00:14:15.000Many 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.
00:14:22.000I think Kaylee McIneney absolutely ran circles around this reporter today for doing exactly that, leaving out the most important line, play tape.
00:14:30.000I'd like to ask you about the Woodward interviews.
00:14:32.000Did 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?
00:15:07.000And 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.
00:15:12.000The 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.
00:16:09.000They 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.
00:16:21.000Lord Fauci, as you can never discount anything he ever says, actually disputed the claim to Fox News's John Roberts, play tape.
00:16:29.000Task force members with the president were talking about the reality of what was going on.
00:16:34.000And 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.
00:16:46.000So 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.
00:16:58.000So did you get a sense that he was or wasn't playing this down?
00:17:14.000And 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.
00:17:25.000So, no, it may have happened, but I have not seen that kind of distortion.
00:17:30.000So, 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,
00:17:59.000all within the span of a couple months.
00:18:02.000And yet still multiple Democrat governors at the time congratulated and complimented President Trump for his efforts.
00:19:48.000But let's assume that the left is true in their premise for a second.
00:19:51.000Where 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?
00:20:04.000Also to say to everyone, you should come to Chinatown.
00:20:08.000Precautions have been taken by our city.
00:20:11.000We 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.
00:20:22.000Where 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?
00:20:32.000She's second in line for the presidency.
00:20:34.000She knew about the dangers of the virus, yet she promoted impeachment and tourism over the health and safety of the American people.
00:20:42.000CNN, 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.
00:20:55.000When President Donald Trump was meeting with health experts to tackle the Chinese coronavirus, CNN was busy criticizing the lack of diversity in the room.
00:21:03.000I don't need Bob Woodward to tell me who took the virus seriously from the start and who didn't.
00:21:09.000Any 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.
00:21:18.000And the day after that tweet from CNN, President Trump shut down all travel from China.
00:21:24.000And what did the top Democrat in the party do at the time?
00:21:27.000Joe Biden called it hysterical xenophobia.
00:22:14.000Since 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.
00:22:25.000Thursday on the 5th of March, go see the traitor at Lincoln Center.
00:22:29.000If The Wire was a true story, plus set in Italy, it would be this film.
00:22:34.000Again, Bob Woodward is not the arbiter of truth here at all.
00:22:37.000And speaking of Bob Woodward, if he had this knowledge that Trump was downplaying the virus, why didn't he blow the whistle?
00:22:43.000Why did it take him all the way up two months before an election to do this?
00:22:45.000Because 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.
00:22:55.000If 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?
00:23:12.000It's malpractice at best and criminal malfeasance at worst.
00:23:17.000And just think about the timing of all of this.
00:23:20.000It comes right as the nonsensical Atlantic story starts to die.
00:23:25.000The 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.
00:23:35.000And also, President Trump nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:23:40.000This is another early October surprise, like the Atlantic story.
00:23:45.000We predicted this in a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show, but someone brought up a really good point to me.
00:23:50.000They emailed, they said, Charlie, of course, the president wasn't trying to panic.
00:23:54.000It's the president's job to make sure the American people do not panic.
00:24:00.000It'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.
00:24:06.000If 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.
00:24:14.000There were concerns of medicine and ICU capacity.
00:24:19.000So 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.
00:24:36.000I do not fault the president for saying this.
00:24:38.000Talking to Bob Woodward is something that is puzzling.
00:24:43.000However, the president has been consistent with decisive action, yet communicating to the American people very clearly as to the facts of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:24:53.000This 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.
00:25:08.000It's trying to create that referendum campaign against President Trump.
00:25:15.000With 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.
00:25:26.000Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning when you need something for your car?
00:25:32.000If you need to repair and maintain your car right now, there is only one choice: it's rockauto.com.
00:25:39.000Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.
00:25:43.000Rockauto.com prices are all the same for everybody and are reliably low.
00:25:48.000Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear, like airlines do.
00:25:56.000Rockauto.com is for everybody and does not require membership or an account login.
00:26:01.000Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low and the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers.
00:26:07.000So, right now, go to rockauto.com, tell them Charlie Kirk sent you when they say, How did you hear about us?
00:26:13.000The best out there, reliably low prices.
00:26:16.000All the parts your car will ever need, rockauto.com, rockauto.com.
00:26:24.000Now, 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.
00:26:39.000As reported by CNN, about 93% of racial justice protests in the U.S. have been peaceful, a new report finds.
00:26:47.000It's all over social media where the BLM incorporated activists have said, See, I told you so.
00:26:52.000Most of these protests, most of these demonstrations have been peaceful.
00:26:56.00093% of racial justice protests have been peaceful.
00:27:00.000The 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.
00:27:13.000The 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.
00:27:31.000Well, first of all, if you actually dive into the data, do you know what huge incident was missing from this data?
00:27:37.000The creation of the new country within our country, Chaz, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
00:27:43.000That was not part of any of the demonstrations.
00:27:46.000Was that peaceful when two black young Americans were killed in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone?
00:27:54.000But let's even take this at face value, which we can't.
00:28:02.000Could you imagine if 7% of Trump rallies resulted in criminal activity?
00:28:07.000Could you imagine if 7% of Trump rallies resulted in looting, arson, robbery, or widespread terror?
00:28:16.000As 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.
00:28:26.000Saying that it was mostly peaceful would be like saying, well, the German invasion of Poland was mostly peaceful.
00:28:31.000Only 200 tank battalions were violent or dispatched.
00:28:35.000Because 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.
00:28:47.000Or it's like saying, only 7% of the food in this restaurant was handled by someone with a Chinese coronavirus.
00:28:53.000I hope you'll still financially support us.
00:28:55.000Or it's like saying this: we should still support BLM Incorporated because only 7% of their gatherings turn into domestic terror.
00:29:04.000If it was only 1%, this would be a big deal.
00:30:47.000They 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.
00:31:27.000They're different expressions of a shared and desired goal, which is to try to bring forth America to the true beginning of history.
00:31:39.000We talked about that in the previous episode about Karl Marx.
00:31:42.000Highly encourage you guys to check that out.
00:31:44.000And if you go a level deeper, the question should be, how do you stop it?
00:31:50.000That's a question that we're going to wrestle with throughout this weekend with some of our episodes into next week.
00:31:57.000Because if we are not serious about confronting these sorts of movements, they will continue to multiply.
00:32:03.000And 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.
00:32:15.000Okay, that eight-person protest in some suburb outside of Dallas is not within the data set that is concerning us.
00:32:22.000I'm talking about the mass demonstrations that resulted in looting, arson, and terror.
00:32:27.000So here's a much better way to look at the data.
00:32:31.000100% of the widespread looting and arson and destruction, widespread being the operative word, 100% of them were rooted to BLM Incorporated.
00:32:46.000That's how the media should be covering this story.
00:33:04.000The reason they won't say that is ideology drives these people.
00:33:08.000You 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.
00:33:16.000But to an untrained eye, to someone that's out there, they say, yeah, wow, maybe they are mostly peaceful.
00:33:49.000That's excusable because your outrage is so warranted, even though I think the data set is massively misleading.
00:33:56.000I think the number is much higher than that.
00:33:59.000The activist media and BLM Incorporated, they are harmonies of each other towards the same stated goal.
00:34:07.000And 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.
00:34:20.000We are going to dive deeper into what we can do about this prescriptively throughout the week.
00:34:28.000I'm traveling the country trying to get our president re-elected.
00:34:32.000And so with that, we're going to have to wrap up this episode.
