00:00:55.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:57.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:59.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:02.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:06.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:07.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:08.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:15.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:16.000 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.
00:01:25.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:27.000 What would you kneel for?
00:01:29.000 Well, I know what the New Orleans Pelicans, never liked that name change.
00:01:34.000 I just felt it was so pandering, Pelicans.
00:01:40.000 I mean, I actually am a believer in strong mascots.
00:01:43.000 I think that's why the Utah Jazz have never won an NBA final in my lifetime.
00:01:47.000 I know the Utah Jazz were Choke City specialists with Carl Malone, the mailman who never delivered against Michael Jordan in the 1990s. 0.51
00:01:57.000 That's why the Jazz have probably never won an NBA final in my own memory because it's so unintimidating.
00:02:01.000 Jazz.
00:02:02.000 New Orleans Pelicans.
00:02:04.000 What would you take a knee for?
00:02:05.000 Well, I'll tell you this.
00:02:05.000 The Pelicans and the Jazz, they took a knee in solidarity, the whole team, during the national anthem, during the first official game of the NBA season's restart in the Walt Disney World's bubble environment.
00:02:18.000 Adam Silver, who I don't think possesses an anatomical backbone, said, quote, I respect our team's unified act of peaceful protest for social justice and under these unique circumstances will not enforce our long-standing rule, requiring standing, during the playing of the national anthem.
00:02:36.000 Now, this comes after, on opening day, all the players on the Yankees and the Nationals took a knee before the national anthem.
00:02:44.000 So they all did that to show their solidarity with BLM Inc. 0.52
00:02:47.000 Interestingly enough, none of the players for the National Basketball Association took a knee for the one million Uyghur Muslims that are soon to be executed by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:03:00.000 And explain to me this.
00:03:01.000 How a black man like Mookie Betts, it's quite an interesting name, who just signed a $400 million contract, how is he oppressed?
00:03:11.000 Who is he standing in solidarity to?
00:03:13.000 How about Mookie Betts?
00:03:15.000 Why don't you give $380 million of your $400 million to BLM Inc.?
00:03:19.000 I don't think you'll do that anytime soon.
00:03:22.000 In fact, he's actually proofed that black people are not oppressed in America.
00:03:27.000 So now what we have is a very dangerous combination in our country.
00:03:33.000 It's a combination of our ruling class and our elites that don't stand for the national anthem but kneel for the national anthem.
00:03:39.000 Jackie Robinson stood for the national anthem.
00:03:41.000 Jackie Robinson was an American patriot who was legitimately discriminated against, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.
00:03:50.000 And he had more respect for the country than our current black athletes do that are earning more money and they have not faced any sort of discrimination institutionally.
00:03:59.000 They might have had discrimination against them on a personal level.
00:04:01.000 I'm not diminishing that, maybe.
00:04:03.000 Maybe not.
00:04:04.000 But institutionally, obviously not, because they entered the league seamlessly.
00:04:08.000 And I have to say, this is not a politically correct take, and I don't care.
00:04:12.000 And that's why thank you for supporting us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:04:15.000 You know, one of these guys tweeted out the other day. 0.95
00:04:17.000 I can't remember which one of the clueless fools from the NBA tweeted this out. 0.97
00:04:21.000 He said, diversity is our strength. 0.98
00:04:23.000 And I said, man, that is a bad argument for the NBA.
00:04:27.000 The NBA is not very diverse. 0.57
00:04:29.000 That is not the argument I'd be making for the NBA.
00:04:33.000 Again, I'm actually okay with it because it's a meritocracy. 0.64
00:04:37.000 The National Basketball Association is anywhere between 75% to 80% black. 1.00
00:04:41.000 And that's okay. 1.00
00:04:42.000 It's fine.
00:04:43.000 Actually, I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
00:04:45.000 I'm just saying don't say diversity is your strength.
00:04:47.000 If diversity is your strength, then have affirmative action where you must have a certain amount of white people in the National Basketball Association.
00:04:53.000 You know what would happen? 0.89
00:04:54.000 It would discriminate against black people. 0.95
00:04:57.000 Because black people tend to be more athletically inclined to be good at basketball. 0.98
00:05:05.000 It's just the way it is.
00:05:06.000 And so I'm all for a meritocracy in sports and especially in the National Basketball Association.
00:05:12.000 Don't tell me that diversity is your strength because obviously it isn't.
00:05:15.000 It's not. 1.00
00:05:16.000 And so these black athletes that quite honestly are privileged brats. 0.99
00:05:22.000 They are privileged brats, part of the ruling class, that are perfectly fine with China's human rights abuses, that dare not talk about black-on-black crime in Chicago or anywhere across the country. 0.99
00:05:33.000 They dare not talk about how in Chicago there have been 405 people shot and killed, 1,895 shot and wounded, 2,300 total shot, and 444 total homicides, almost all of which are black people killing other black people, not white people walking down the streets and killing other black people. 0.99
00:05:50.000 Not happening. 0.97
00:05:51.000 Doesn't.
00:05:51.000 It's a statistical improbability.
00:05:54.000 It is so statistically improbable for a black, innocent individual to be killed by a police officer that we actually can name them all in 15 seconds or less. 0.63
00:06:05.000 Because even according to the Washington Post, there were 15 of them last year.
00:06:10.000 Now, mind you, I was listening to a radio program, something recently, and they said, yeah, according to the Washington Post, and of course, I cite that all the time.
00:06:18.000 I said, just for next year, for this year that we're in 2020, can we have some institution besides the Washington Post compile the list?
00:06:26.000 Why do I have to keep on referencing the Washington Post?
00:06:28.000 Wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of impartial, non-Jeff Bezos-funded, non-CCP-aligned organization that actually looked at how many black individuals that were unarmed were killed by police officers?
00:06:40.000 And this is a really extraordinary moment. 0.84
00:06:42.000 Only in America would you have multi-millionaire black athletes that know nothing about the country they live in be able to amass millions of dollars of wealth because they happen to be very talented at putting a certain object through a circle, putting a circle through a circle. 0.98
00:06:58.000 That's fine. 0.97
00:06:59.000 I love basketball.
00:07:00.000 I like watching it.
00:07:01.000 I will not watch the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball anymore.
00:07:05.000 They're done, and I hope they're done for you too, because they hate America and they honor the hatred of America, and I hope they go bankrupt.
00:07:12.000 And that's just the way it is, and it saddens me to say that.
00:07:15.000 But it's a really amazing thing that in America, you're able to amass millions of dollars of wealth to then protest the very country that gave you that wealth around an injustice that quite honestly does not exist institutionally or systemically.
00:07:30.000 And this goes to show some of the cultural issues we have in our country because we have so much abundance.
00:07:37.000 We have so much wealth that we have created that our ruling class elites, well, they have really no understanding of how wealth is created, especially LeBron James. 1.00
00:07:45.000 He's a total fool. 0.99
00:07:46.000 LeBron James, he's perfectly fine with one million Muslims in concentration camps in China. 1.00
00:07:52.000 LeBron James is perfectly fine with the annexation of Hong Kong. 1.00
00:07:57.000 LeBron James is a complete and total fool. 0.99
00:07:59.000 I've never heard him say anything that is wise. 0.99
00:08:02.000 And this is from somebody who actually used to be a defender of LeBron James when he went back to Cleveland.
00:08:06.000 I thought he did the right thing.
00:08:07.000 Now I am more and more convinced that LeBron James got lost on the way up on some sort of long trip to Shanghai, ended up in Cleveland, said, I might as well go back.
00:08:18.000 I am never going to compliment LeBron James again because he is nothing more than a mouthpiece for Xi Jinping.
00:08:25.000 And not even a very intelligent mouthpiece at that.
00:08:28.000 And so LeBron James is worth probably $500, $600 million.
00:08:33.000 And he's a talented athlete and plays basketball quite fine.
00:08:37.000 All of a sudden, we're supposed to look at him at the arbiter of racial justice in our country.
00:08:42.000 And it's astonishing to me.
00:08:44.000 And anyone who dares pander, support, defend any of these racial exploitationists, I have no patience for you whatsoever. 0.99
00:08:55.000 This is what happens when you allow infants to run your country.
00:08:59.000 These are people that have not completely matured.
00:09:02.000 And so there was one courageous guy, Sam Kuhn Rod, who decided not to take a knee during the national anthem.
00:09:08.000 God bless him.
00:09:09.000 And if Sam Kuhnrod decides to start his own sport, I will support him.
00:09:13.000 And people say, well, Charlie, being too dramatic.
00:09:14.000 I said, no.
00:09:15.000 I said, look, the left has decided to politicize everything.
00:09:17.000 I think this is a very important takeaway.
00:09:19.000 If the left has decided to politicize everything and the left has decided to make it seem as if we live in an awful country, then I'm going to start politicizing everything.
00:09:28.000 I'm going to start to all of a sudden watch things that align with my values.
00:09:32.000 I'm going to start to spend my time that harmonize with my worldview.
00:09:36.000 And yes, I do enjoy baseball, but I turned on baseball when it first started.
00:09:41.000 It started in an empty stadium, and I saw Dr. Fauci from the mound.
00:09:47.000 He tried to throw an opening pitch, which looked something more similar to a sprinkler in a random direction.
00:09:55.000 The ball just kind of just dribbled away.
00:09:58.000 I think he almost made it a fourth of the way to home plate.
00:10:03.000 So I tuned in.
00:10:05.000 I saw Dr. Fauci do that, and I saw all these players kneeling.
00:10:08.000 I said, I'm done.
00:10:09.000 I'm not going to support an institution or a league that does not believe America is the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:10:15.000 And so then some of the counterargument is, well, Charlie, they might believe that, but they're just protesting an injustice.
00:10:20.000 Well, first of all, no, they're not.
00:10:22.000 This is narcissism and groupthink and social pressure.
00:10:25.000 If they were really protesting an injustice, two thoughts.
00:10:29.000 If they were really protesting injustice, it wouldn't be innocent black men being killed by police officers, which happens with incredible statistical improbability.
00:10:37.000 Those people, if they did commit murder, go to jail.
00:10:40.000 No one's supporting it.
00:10:41.000 No one's defending it.
00:10:42.000 Not something you have to protest at all because no one's counter-protesting you.
00:10:45.000 Usually when you protest something, there is someone against you.
00:10:48.000 So I don't really know what man you're fighting.
00:10:50.000 It doesn't really exist.
00:10:51.000 Second thing is, really, during the national anthem, the song that has given more people hope and unity around the greatest country ever to grace this planet.
00:11:00.000 That's the moment where we honor our veterans, take off our hats, put our hands over our heart as a remembrance of the blood that was spilled so that we could have a free republic.
00:11:10.000 That's the moment when you want to go be, look how good of a person I am.
00:11:14.000 Let me go take a knee because our country is so systemically unequal, because our country is so incredibly racist, which is a lie.
00:11:21.000 This is all rooted in a lie.
00:11:23.000 And so people say, Charlie, what would you take a knee for during the national anthem?
00:11:26.000 I say, I wouldn't.
00:11:27.000 I wouldn't because I would, my grandfather, who fought in World War II, my seventh generation removed uncle, who fought in the United States Civil War for the Union cause, my family who fought in the Revolutionary War, Abner Abbey, who's actually buried in Boston, Massachusetts, and I'm a son of the American Revolution.
00:11:47.000 My family who came to America in 1620, I'm going to take a knee for the sacrifices and the institutions that they built.
00:11:54.000 Like, no, I'm going to be quiet for 90 seconds because maybe I'm not the most important person on the planet.
00:11:59.000 Maybe there were countless people, some of whom in my bloodline, some people who were not, that actually gave significant generational sacrifices so that we could have a civil society and live stable and peaceful lives, similar to that of which is articulated in 1 Timothy, where Paul's letter to Timothy says, pray for your leaders.
00:12:16.000 I'm paraphrasing here, pray for your leaders so that you may live quiet and peaceable lives.
00:12:22.000 That was really what the pilgrims wanted.
00:12:24.000 That was the vision of our country.
00:12:27.000 And so when you have these apparatchiks and these spoiled brats that work professionally, where they are treated as celebrities everywhere they go, they have a very specific talent, of which I do not say they shouldn't be compensated for.
00:12:42.000 I think people support it.
00:12:43.000 I love sports.
00:12:44.000 I think sports are a very important part of our culture.
00:12:47.000 However, they want the world to see them as almost activist narcissists.
00:12:55.000 And that's what this really is.
00:12:56.000 And so people say, well, Charlie, what's a good way to protest that?
00:12:58.000 How about any other moment besides the national anthem?
00:13:01.000 And you better have a pretty good reason why you're protesting that and not the other stuff that might be just as equal, if not a greater injustice happening in this country.
00:13:09.000 So when we get into this as a country, people come after me, they say, oh, Charlie, you're anti-free speech. 0.98
00:13:14.000 Well, I say, no, actually, I think that people do have a right to be a fool.
00:13:17.000 Unlike some people that say, well, they don't actually have a contractual right to be able to protest. 0.79
00:13:22.000 I mean, you might be right under employment contract law, but do I think that it is the wrong thing to prohibit them from doing it?
00:13:29.000 Maybe, maybe not.
00:13:30.000 I think as a sports owner, you probably have a duty to probably tell them if you do this, you're kicked off the team.
00:13:37.000 But generally, of course, I think that people can speak their mind.
00:13:39.000 I mean, I'm a free speech absolutist.
00:13:41.000 What I don't support, though, is people being fools without me being able to have a right to speak against them, which is exactly what is happening here.
00:13:50.000 We an entire WNBA, the Women's National Basketball Association, not just protest the national anthem, they walked off the entire court completely during the national anthem, as if we don't even want to live in this country anymore. 0.80
00:14:03.000 Well, look, here's how you know you live in a great country.
00:14:05.000 America is the only country in the history of the world where even those who say they hate it refuse to leave.
00:14:12.000 How many of those self-righteous narcissistic brats that play for the new Orleans Pelicans, how many of them want to go play one season in China?
00:14:23.000 Very few, if any. 0.76
00:14:25.000 So the WNBA players for the New York Liberty and Seattle Storm walked off the court during the national anthem of the league's season opener this weekend.
00:14:33.000 Now, let's just ask ourselves how we got here.
00:14:37.000 Oh, that's right.
00:14:39.000 I forgot.
00:14:39.000 There was an evil cop who killed a person that he knew, which we do not know whether it was racially motivated or not, in the streets of Minneapolis.
00:14:50.000 And three cops sat around or stood around and did nothing.
00:14:53.000 So we're supposed to believe that is why we have to storm off the national anthem.
00:14:58.000 A specific incident of evil is all of a sudden a reason to not honor our national flag. 0.95
00:15:04.000 Just to give an idea of how self-righteous and narcissistic and foolish and arrogant and dangerous this entire thing is, Frederick Douglass, a black Republican back from the 1800s, he would honor our flag. 0.95
00:15:18.000 He would honor our country. 0.97
00:15:19.000 Martin Luther King would always honor the flag and honor the country.
00:15:24.000 These were patriots.
00:15:25.000 The difference between these activists is, first of all, they have incredible wealth.
00:15:29.000 They actually have massive amounts of influence institutionally, and they control the culture.
00:15:37.000 Unlike Martin Luther King and unlike some of these other revolutionaries, they were always coming at it from an opinion of ideological and cultural minority.
00:15:48.000 They were always coming at it from a perspective of, I am Not in the predominant opinion, and I'm going to try to shape public opinion through civil disobedience or from peaceful protest.
00:16:00.000 This is not a protest.
00:16:02.000 This is a virtue-signaling parade around people that, quite honestly, they don't want to do good, they want to feel good.
00:16:09.000 This doesn't do any good.
00:16:11.000 You think this is going to make America more equitable or a better place? 0.99
00:16:14.000 This is being led by resentful, bitter, and arrogant people.
00:16:20.000 So instead of talking about how do we create a society or a culture where we can have stronger people to endure the inevitable suffering of our life, instead they want to blame everything else around them, despite they themselves being the multi-millionaire ruling class elites that have actually showed that this country can offer opportunity for people of all colors.
00:16:39.000 So I'm very clear.
00:16:40.000 I'm done with professional sports.
00:16:42.000 Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association.
00:16:44.000 I encourage you right now to tweet out that you are no longer watching these athletic activities, even if you enjoy it and you like it.
00:16:52.000 Some people might think that it's too extreme.
00:16:54.000 Well, look, we're going to lose our country if we do not divest ourselves from the cultural institutions that, quite honestly, are arguing for the complete and total destruction of America.
00:17:03.000 And some people email me at freedom at charliekirk.com and say, Charlie, you're being too alarmist.
00:17:07.000 Well, excuse me, they're literally walking off the court during the national anthem.
00:17:10.000 What more evidence do you need that they hate their country?
00:17:13.000 That's the national anthem.
00:17:15.000 That's the period of time where we actually support the values of E pluribus unim in God we trust liberty, freedom, virtue, laws of nature, and nature is God.
00:17:23.000 That's the moment where we honor the sacrifice of generations before us and veterans that gave so much.
00:17:29.000 What else do you need to be able to make that argument?
00:17:34.000 And so I'm done watching professional sports, unfortunately, because I actually enjoy it.
00:17:38.000 I'm a huge Cubs fan, but that's the way that it is.
00:17:40.000 So speaking of things that we no longer support, sports keep coming back.
00:17:44.000 So does your chance to bet on them with our exclusive wagering partner at betonline.ag.
00:17:49.000 Major League Baseball is back and starting, which we are not watching as long as they protest our flag.

00:18:26.000 So in other news of places that actually love our country, unlike professional sports, suburban moms come home to the Republican Party.
00:18:33.000 President Trump tweeted this, I'm happy to inform all of the people living their suburban lifestyle dream.
00:18:38.000 I love the way he said that. 0.54
00:18:39.000 That you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low-income housing built in your neighborhood. 0.95
00:18:44.000 Your housing prices will go up based on the market and crime will go down. 0.53
00:18:47.000 I have rescinded the Obama-Biden AFFH rule.
00:18:50.000 Enjoy.
00:18:51.000 So this is referring to an Obama-Biden AFFH rule, which is the 2015 Affirmatively Further Fair Housing Rule.
00:18:58.000 And thank you, Ben Carson, for your work on this.
00:19:00.000 It's terrific.
00:19:01.000 Which requires local governments that receive federal funding to study racial bias in their housing patterns and develop plans to address it.
00:19:08.000 Now, this often leads to an increase in the low-income housing the president is referencing.
00:19:12.000 This rule has proven repeatedly to be a disaster.
00:19:16.000 So take one example, like this from Boris Epstein, a friend of mine at Newsweek.
00:19:20.000 Quote, in 2009, the Obama-Biden administration sided with a fair housing advocacy organization that was suing Westchester County, New York.
00:19:28.000 The organization accused the county of making, quote, false claims that had done everything possible to, quote, affirmatively further fair housing because it did not re-examine existing race-neutral zoning laws in search of hidden racial discrimination.
00:19:40.000 Up against the weight of the federal government, the county prudently settled the case, agreeing to change its zoning laws and build 750 public housing units at a taxpayer cost of $51 million, nearly as much money as the county had received from HUD in the first place.
00:19:56.000 Now, armed with the settlement now, the Obama-Biden HUD turned Clinton's affirmative further housing, AFFH, cudgel into a thermonuclear bomb to drop on the suburbs.
00:20:12.000 Now, despite eight separate analyses of impediments that all found no discrimination at all in Westchester County's zoning laws, bureaucrats in Washington, with nothing better to do, claimed the right to overturn some of the most fundamental, character-defining ordinances of American communities.
00:20:31.000 Even basic quarter-acre single-family zoning suddenly fell into the federal agency's tentacles.
00:20:39.000 The new rules promulgated as part of a, quote, grand experiment by Obama's HUD department, this is the important part, would compel suburban landlords to go to cities and recruit Section 8 recipients, then force local taxpayers to pay for thousands of units of high-rise public housing as close as possible to community assets that make their towns desirable, such as high-performing schools, public parks, and shopping centers.
00:21:07.000 All of this would be done in defiance of any local zoning and regulations.
00:21:12.000 This is insane.
00:21:15.000 And Ben Carson was quoted as saying, quote, we found it to be unworkable and ultimately a waste of time for localities to comply with, too often resulting in funds being steered away from communities that need them most.
00:21:28.000 God bless you, Secretary Carson.
00:21:30.000 You are spot on.
00:21:32.000 This is why we need Trump to be re-elected, by the way, because it's not just him that we're electing, we're electing a government.
00:21:38.000 So instead of investing funding into the suburbs where affluent or at least a middle-class income is the rule, as opposed to the exception, Secretary Carson is arguing that the government, if it must intervene, should go to the root of the problem and address it where it exists, instead of simply spreading the problem around.
00:21:56.000 Of course, the president's critics are calling the move racist and a blatant dog whistle to white voters.
00:22:01.000 All of this is, of course, is predicated on the inherently racist idea that only the people that are in so amazing. 0.92
00:22:08.000 The only people that are impacted and implicated are minorities and black people. 0.93
00:22:12.000 So it is the left that are the actual racist. 0.99
00:22:15.000 You hear poor and think of a black person, you're the racist Democrat. 1.00
00:22:19.000 You hear low income and you think that it's Hispanic, you're the racist. 0.98
00:22:22.000 Oh yeah, by the way, what did Joe Biden say?
00:22:24.000 Play tape.
00:22:25.000 We have this notion that somehow if you're poor, you cannot do it. 0.99
00:22:29.000 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talent as white kids. 0.98
00:22:33.000 That's right. 0.98
00:22:34.000 He said, poor kids are just as smart as white kids. 0.98
00:22:37.000 And of course, those who cry racist are completely ignoring the fact that the person in charge of implementing this plan is a black man. 0.66
00:22:45.000 Secretary Ben Carson.
00:22:47.000 What about his truth?
00:22:48.000 I thought everyone has their own version of truth.
00:22:50.000 What about his truth?
00:22:51.000 He grew up, by the way, in public housing, abject poverty.
00:22:55.000 The move also underscores an important point, which Ben Carson noted.
00:23:00.000 The federal government has no business dictating what is best for local communities.
00:23:05.000 Housing is a hyper-local issue and should be dealt with as such.
00:23:09.000 Overly burdensome, government mandates like this or the countless others that Obama and Biden put in place put a massive squeeze on American towns and cities, hitting suburbs and the rural communities the hardest.
00:23:22.000 So I'm going to tell you what Joe Biden thinks, but first, if you want to save money this summer, why not start paying less interest on your credit card balances?
00:23:29.000 By the way, if you want to save money, don't elect Joe Biden as president.
00:23:32.000 But here's what you can do.
00:23:33.000 You can refinance with a credit card consolidation loan from Lightstream.
00:23:37.000 It's an easy way to save hundreds to thousands of dollars and lower your interest rate.
00:23:41.000 We've talked about credit card debt.
00:23:42.000 We've talked about how dangerous it can be.
00:23:44.000 So Lightstream offers fixed-rate credit card consolidation loans from 5.95% APR with autopay and excellent credit, lower than the average credit card interest rate of over 19% APR.
00:23:58.000 Lightstream rewards customers who have good credit with a great interest rate and no fees.
00:24:04.000 Get a loan from $5,000 to $100,000, and you can even get money as soon as the day you apply.
00:24:11.000 Help consolidate your credit card debt today with lightstream.com/slash Kirk.

00:24:24.000 That's lightstream.com/slash Kirk.
00:24:28.000 So speaking of people that want to raise your taxes, Joe Biden actually thinks that this is a good thing.
00:24:33.000 In a scathing column for the New York Post last week, Betsy McCauhey wrote, quote, Biden's plan is to force suburban towns with single-family homes and minimum lot sizes to build high-density, affordable housing smack in the middle of their leafy neighborhoods.
00:24:50.000 Local preferences and local control be damned.
00:24:54.000 Straight from the article.
00:24:57.000 And it's by Betsy McCoffey.
00:24:59.000 I don't think I pronounced her name correctly.
00:25:00.000 Anyway, had the rule been implemented, nationwide towns everywhere would have to scrap zoning, build bigger water and sewer lines to support high-density living, expand schools and social services, and add mass transit, all pushing up local taxes.
00:25:15.000 Towns that refused would lose their federal aid.
00:25:18.000 The rule was one of the worst abuses of the Obama administration, and a raw power grab masquerading as racial justice.
00:25:23.000 Well put, Betsy McCoffey.
00:25:26.000 A raw power grab masquerading as racial justice. 1.00
00:25:29.000 Sound familiar?
00:25:30.000 This was the modus operandi of the eight years of Obama Biden.
00:25:36.000 And you can listen to our sister episode where we take on Barack Obama of why he was the worst president ever.
00:25:41.000 I encourage you to listen to it and download it.
00:25:44.000 But also, it's important to remember Obama's Alinskyite nature, it was well concealed and never reported on.
00:25:50.000 But in the age of Trump, the left's raw power grabs are done out in the open with cries of racist filling our streets and airwaves and newspapers, despite racism playing no part in ending policies like this one.
00:26:03.000 So ultimately, and despite what the left says, this move by Trump is a massive victory for American constitutional rights to local government and self-government, as well as a recognition that the federal government's duty to prevent discrimination in housing does not supersede its obligation to protect the rights of millions of Americans who abide by race-neutral zoning laws to create beautiful, vibrant, friendly suburban communities.
00:26:29.000 President Trump needs to do better in suburban America.
00:26:32.000 This rule will help him politically in suburban communities.
00:26:37.000 Focus on this, and it will help President Trump tremendously politically.
00:26:42.000 People are moving out of the cities in record numbers, and they're moving out of the cities because they do not want a gangbanger on the street to shoot their kid in the head.
00:26:49.000 They're moving out of the cities because they don't want a drug addict on the side of the street.
00:26:54.000 Joe Rogan has moved from California to Texas for a reason.
00:26:58.000 Obama wants to destroy the suburbs as they are.
00:27:03.000 He wants them to be high-traffic, high-tax, miserable places like the cities they already ruined that are under Democrat control.
00:27:12.000 So I want to give you the latest update on the $1 trillion, what they call a stimulus bill, that is going through Congress.
00:27:20.000 But I know a lot of you are trying to find a way that you can heal for your wounds, have recovery and health.
00:27:28.000 So I want to tell you about Thera 1.
00:27:30.000 Now, before you freak out, you know that I am not for the legalization of marijuana.
00:27:34.000 I've actually spoken out forcefully against it.
00:27:37.000 But this is a CBD product.
00:27:38.000 But just so you know, it's not THC-laced.
00:27:42.000 It has a medicinal quality.
00:27:44.000 It's USDA-certified organic.
00:27:46.000 President Trump supports this sort of product being out there, okay?
00:27:50.000 So that helps ease discomfort, soreness, and stiffness, fights the effects of inflammation, and supports better sleep quality.
00:27:58.000 Thera1 CBD helps you decrease muscle soreness and tightness when you prepare.
00:28:04.000 So you feel energized and ready for anything the next day throws at you.
00:28:07.000 Perform to fuel your daily activities and keep things moving, and restore for rest and recovery to get back to doing what you love sooner.
00:28:15.000 It's the only complete line of CBD products that are USDA certified organic.
00:28:20.000 Remember, this is not THC.
00:28:22.000 It's not marijuana.
00:28:23.000 We have to understand the difference between the two.
00:28:25.000 Thera One products are full spectrum.
00:28:28.000 That means it is most effective because it contains all the components of the hemp plant.
00:28:33.000 President Trump signed this bill recently in the farm bill that allowed this to be legal.
00:28:40.000 They're the only CBD product formulated using Thera One's proprietary and patent pending Bisorb, technology to maximize the absorption of organic oils and natural benefits of CBD.
00:28:52.000 So you can buy one and get one free.
00:28:54.000 Go to Theragun.com slash Kirk.
00:28:56.000 That is T-H-E-R-A-G-U-N.com slash Kirk, but only until Labor Day.
00:29:02.000 Go right now to Theragun.com slash Kirk.
00:29:07.000 So here's the latest on the GOP's $1 trillion stimulus bill.
00:29:11.000 It's at a standstill.
00:29:12.000 Good.
00:29:13.000 We have enough trillion dollar bills that have been passed through Congress.
00:29:18.000 So there's an impasse happening.
00:29:19.000 We'll continue to report on this at the Charlie Kirk show and give you first-hand analysis.
00:29:24.000 Look, I don't think people should be given money for nothing.
00:29:27.000 I don't think people should be given money not to work.
00:29:29.000 And I definitely do not think we should continue to create money and we're going to get into hyperflation.
00:29:32.000 Inflation is coming that will deteriorate our currency and our purchasing power and indebt future generations to come.
00:29:39.000 You can start to see a lot of states speak out and they say that we need our benefits.
00:29:44.000 Well, you know what?
00:29:45.000 What happened to personal responsibility and self-reliance, okay?
00:29:48.000 It is not the federal government's role to go create another $4 trillion out of thin air so that you can sit on your tail and watch Hulu and Netflix.
00:29:56.000 It's not the role of government.
00:29:58.000 I believe that you should save money.
00:30:00.000 I believe that we should have reasonable interest rates.
00:30:02.000 And I believe that we should get people out to work, reopen our country.
00:30:05.000 Mitch McConnell admitted that there were likely at least 20 Republicans who would vote no on the trillion dollar bill due to the skyrocketing deficit.
00:30:12.000 Good.
00:30:12.000 It's about time we hold the line, stop borrowing money and indebting future generations and deteriorate our currency.
00:30:18.000 I'm pleased that they have not come to an agreement to bail out the states.
00:30:21.000 That's a bunch of nonsense.
00:30:23.000 But I do not think that we need to continue to put our country in endless debt just to appease the clamoring class of today.
00:30:35.000 We're going to keep on following this.
