The Charlie Kirk Show - Charlie Launches Massive 'No Forced Vax' Campus Campaign and Liberal Minds Explode

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody.

00:00:01.000 This is producer Andrew Colvett filling in for Charlie Kirk.

00:00:04.000 Always honored to be in the seat with you guys.

00:00:07.000 We have an action-packed episode of the Charlie Kirk Show today.

00:00:10.000 It's incredible.

00:00:11.000 We cover a lot of ground.

00:00:12.000 I'm not going to lie.

00:00:13.000 Hold on to your seats.

00:00:14.000 The buckle up thing is totally apt today.

00:00:16.000 We cover Turning Point USA's new no vax mandate on campus campaign.

00:00:22.000 It's rolling out nationwide.

00:00:24.000 Charlie was on Tucker Carlson last night talking about it.

00:00:27.000 Big story.

00:00:28.000 Then, of course, almost on cue, Charlie was trending on Twitter.

00:00:32.000 You're not going to want to miss why.

00:00:34.000 It's hilarious, but it's great.

00:00:36.000 He told the truth.

00:00:37.000 That's probably all you need to know.

00:00:39.000 I'll tell you the rest in just a second.

00:00:40.000 We cover January 6th.

00:00:42.000 And guess what?

00:00:43.000 We name names on who shot Ashley Babbitt.

00:00:46.000 Talk about Wapo fact check that'll have you rolling as it did me because we all knew that the Democrats were lying.

00:00:53.000 Nevertheless, here we go, guys. 0.83

00:00:54.000 Buckle up.

00:00:56.000 Here we go.

00:00:57.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:59.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:01.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:04.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:07.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:08.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:09.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:11.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:18.000 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.

00:01:27.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:30.000 As you know, my friend Mike Lindell has a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of your life.

00:01:35.000 He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.

00:01:37.000 Mike created the new Giza Dream bedsheets.

00:01:40.000 They look and feel great, which means an even better night's sleep for me, which is what's crucial for my busy schedule.

00:01:45.000 Mike found the world's best cotton called Giza.

00:01:48.000 It's ultra-soft and breathable, but extremely durable.

00:01:51.000 Mike's Giza sheets come with a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 10-year warranty.

00:02:34.000 So, guys, I have to tell you, I always think it's fun that, you know, Charlie's gone and he's off today, but nevertheless, he's trending on Twitter.

00:02:34.000 Here we go.

00:02:48.000 So that's always the fun thing for us to explain to Charlie when he comes back online and we say, hey, Charlie, you know, good for you.

00:02:56.000 You're trending on Twitter.

00:02:57.000 So what happened?

00:02:58.000 Charlie went on Tucker Carlson last night.

00:03:00.000 I'm going to play some of the clips for you.

00:03:02.000 Charlie went on Tucker Carlson talking about an anti-vax campaign, the campaign that Turning Point USA is launching across college and high school campuses, 2,500 college and high school campuses.

00:03:15.000 The backstory, as many of you in this audience are well aware, the Biden administration is in full get out the vax campaign.

00:03:26.000 Meanwhile, folks are pushing back at a local grassroots level saying, hey, this is still an experimental vaccine.

00:03:34.000 We don't know enough about this vaccine to be pushing it in a mandatory way on the most healthy, the least vulnerable cohort in American society, namely 18, 19, 20-year-olds.

00:03:46.000 So what's the deal?

00:03:49.000 Nobody was really stepping up.

00:03:51.000 Turning point USA obviously has a lot going on, but Turning Point USA decided: hey, we've got to meet the challenge of the moment.

00:03:57.000 Let's launch this campaign.

00:04:00.000 You can actually check it out for yourselves, turningpointusa.com forward slash vax.

00:04:05.000 I recommend everybody do that.

00:04:07.000 So Charlie goes on and he calls it medical apartheid.

00:04:14.000 And that is, of course, what Mediite and all these others have grabbed a hold of.

00:04:19.000 But like, folks, and we're going to play the sound for you to hear for yourself.

00:04:24.000 But I, I just did a simple Google search.

00:04:27.000 This is not deep research. 0.60

00:04:28.000 This is a simple Google search of apartheid.

00:04:32.000 So, of course, the first thing that comes up, I mean, this is top of the page at Google.

00:04:36.000 And I don't recommend using Google, but it's important as a tool to explain to you what's actually going on here because Google is the mainstream search engine.

00:04:46.000 It's basically a monopoly.

00:04:48.000 It gets over 90% of search.

00:04:49.000 So if anybody in the general population were to Google apartheid, it would say, historical in South Africa, a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on the grounds of race.

00:05:01.000 Okay.

00:05:02.000 First bullet point, however, segregation on grounds other than race.

00:05:08.000 And they use as an example, gender apartheid. 0.55

00:05:12.000 Gender apartheid as their first example.

00:05:14.000 So when Charlie made a comment about medical apartheid, that should not have been controversial.

00:05:22.000 But nevertheless, this is the headline from the hacks over at Mediite.

00:05:26.000 Charlie Kirk declares that colleges mandating vaccinations will meet medical apartheid.

00:05:32.000 Well, that's exactly what it is.

00:05:34.000 So I'm going to let you hear from Charlie in his own words, medical apartheid.

00:05:38.000 That's clip 58.

00:05:40.000 Let's go ahead and play that clip and I'll catch it on the backside.

00:05:43.000 At Turning Point USA, we are going to give it everything we have to make sure that students are not going to have to live in a medical apartheid because they don't want to get the vaccine. 0.88

00:05:52.000 I said this earlier, and this is a big statement, but it's almost this apartheid style open-air Haasin situation. 0.85

00:05:58.000 Like, oh, you can have your freedom back if you get the jab. 0.52

00:06:01.000 This is unacceptable.

00:06:02.000 We're going to fight back against it.

00:06:04.000 That's right.

00:06:05.000 So Charlie thought it was an important enough point that he said it twice.

00:06:08.000 I completely supported this.

00:06:08.000 Okay.

00:06:10.000 I talked with Charlie before he went on the air.

00:06:12.000 We agreed that this was a very smart thing to say.

00:06:16.000 And of course, the usual suspects are freaking out.

00:06:20.000 Charlie, like I said, is trending on Twitter.

00:06:22.000 Charlie, I'll tell you, he doesn't even care.

00:06:24.000 He deleted Twitter.

00:06:25.000 We have group chats and he sort of sends us tweets and then his team tweets for him.

00:06:31.000 Such a cesspool.

00:06:31.000 He doesn't even look at it.

00:06:32.000 He won't even look at it.

00:06:34.000 Nevertheless, I think it's hilarious that they are freaking out about something that was technically and accurately true.

00:06:41.000 So what does he mean by a medical apartheid? 0.60

00:06:44.000 Well, on college campuses across the country, especially at private universities.

00:06:50.000 So if you're Dukes, your Cornells, things like this, it's absolutely within the purview of the university to mandate vaccines for in-person learning.

00:07:00.000 Now, what they are doing, now, the schools do not have an ability to block a student who's matriculated and who's paying tuition, right?

00:07:09.000 So they're skirting mandate rules because they, on their own, do not have the power to mandate vaccines.

00:07:14.000 The state can.

00:07:15.000 So in California, New York, they're actually mandating for public universities as well.

00:07:21.000 But what they're doing in states, in red states, for example, they are skirting this by not referring to it as a mandate, but making it so onerous on those who have chosen not to get vaccinated that it's basically a mandate.

00:07:34.000 It's a silly thing to even discuss, okay? 0.91

00:07:37.000 Onerous, how? 0.91

00:07:39.000 Onerous like this. 0.91

00:07:40.000 If you do not get a vaccine at a college campus in a red state that cannot by law mandate it, what they will do is they will segregate you.

00:07:48.000 They will either force you to take only online classes, or if they allow you on campus, they'll make you wear a mask. 0.71

00:07:56.000 They tried to do this at Arizona State University before we raced holy hell about it.

00:08:00.000 And Doug Ducey ended up signing an executive order reversing this, but they tried.

00:08:04.000 And it's actually a great example of what we should do. 0.92

00:08:07.000 Arizona is the model for how we need to fight back, especially in Red States. 1.00

00:08:12.000 So what they were going to try and do at ASU is make you wear a mask even outside. 0.94

00:08:18.000 And if you were going to try and attend classes in person on campus, they were going to subject you to mandatory and they were going to subject you to mandatory COVID asymptomatic tests.

00:08:33.000 That's the way he would say it.

00:08:34.000 So even if you were asymptomatic, they were going to subject you to these tests.

00:08:39.000 And then on top of that, you were not going to be allowed to partake in certain college activities.

00:08:44.000 And now ASU is like 115 when the semester starts outside.

00:08:51.000 So imagine walking long walks in between your two classes, and you've got to wear a mask and 115-degree heat just to study on campus, which you are doing with your tuition.

00:09:04.000 You're paying for this service.

00:09:06.000 Absolutely insane.

00:09:08.000 But this is what's going on all across the country.

00:09:09.000 So Charlie was absolutely right.

00:09:11.000 And I wanted to take a moment to defend him because it's insane that this is even like, you know, an issue, right?

00:09:17.000 So they're going after Candace Owens right now because she's publicly said that she's not taking the vaccine.

00:09:22.000 Charlie and his wife Erica have publicly stated that they're not taking the vaccine.

00:09:27.000 Tucker Carlson has not stated one way or the other.

00:09:29.000 His point is very good as well. 0.98

00:09:30.000 It's none of your darn business. 0.98

00:09:32.000 Okay, I'm going to say it the nice way. 1.00

00:09:33.000 It's none of your darn business. 0.99

00:09:35.000 And I completely completely support that. 0.97

00:09:38.000 At the end of the day, this is not about being pro or anti-vaccine, although we have our skepticism when it comes to this particular vaccine because it is an emergency vaccine.

00:09:47.000 It is still experimental, according to the CDC.

00:09:52.000 There's a lot of research that's going into this mRNA vaccine and how it might even be a cytotoxin and it latches onto lipid and fat cells and it goes throughout your body.

00:10:04.000 YouTube and all of the big tech sensors are on an eclipse that say these types of things and they're pulling them down.

00:10:11.000 Vaccine agnostic, if you want to get it, that's fine.

00:10:14.000 We say that all the time on the show.

00:10:15.000 We support your right to do so, but we will not support a mandatory vaccine.

00:10:20.000 That is a line we will not cross on this show.

00:10:24.000 And I'm so glad, I'm so honored that Turning Point is standing up for freedom, for the right to choose, and for healthcare privacy.

00:10:32.000 It's so incredibly important, folks.

00:10:33.000 So go again to tpusa.com forward slash vax if you want to check that out.

00:10:38.000 tpusa.com forward slash vax.

00:10:42.000 Now, I mentioned the case of Arizona State University and Governor Ducey.

00:10:50.000 Arizona State came out and said, hey, if you're not going to get the jab, you're not going to get vaxed.

00:10:54.000 Well, you're going to have to wear a mask outside in 115-degree heat.

00:10:57.000 You're going to have to be subjected to randomized COVID testing, even if you're asymptomatic.

00:11:03.000 You're not going to be able to study abroad.

00:11:06.000 Various other things.

00:11:09.000 Charlie, the team, a network of folks that we're connected with, all started tweeting, all started saying this was unacceptable within hours.

00:11:19.000 Doug Doocy was on Twitter saying this is unacceptable.

00:11:21.000 I'm going to sign an executive order ensuring that this does not happen.

00:11:25.000 This is a case in point of how to push back against the radical left.

00:11:30.000 And never forget, these universities are islands of totalitarianism.

00:11:35.000 I recently dealt with a case in Florida.

00:11:37.000 Yes, the University of Florida, where a Turning Point chapter student tried to have a cookout at a shared field.

00:11:46.000 Now, technically, you're supposed to reserve the field.

00:11:49.000 It's a shared field.

00:11:50.000 Everybody uses it all the time for Frisbee, all this kind of stuff.

00:11:53.000 They had a cook out there, but it was, you know, they were doing masks and they were handing out food with gloves and trying to, you know, do all the COVID stuff so that nobody gave them a hard time.

00:12:03.000 Well, apparently, some snitches, Charlie talked about snitch culture yesterday, drove by down the street, took pictures of them, sent it to the administration.

00:12:11.000 Next thing they know, these students are called in to this administrative hearing and they have to basically say, sorry that we held a cookout on college campus.

00:12:19.000 This was a piece of grass that was right on the edge of campus.

00:12:23.000 Had they stepped one foot over, they would have been back on the free soil of Florida and Governor DeSantis is Florida, and it would have been completely fine.

00:12:31.000 There would have been zero restitution the university could have taken against the Turning Point USA chapter.

00:12:36.000 But as it was, they were on a piece of grass owned by the university and they got snitched on for holding like a gathering, even though they're in the free state of Florida.

00:12:47.000 These are islands of totalitarianism.

00:12:49.000 I remember when I first started working with Charlie, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say. 0.86

00:12:52.000 I was like, Charlie, it's too hyperbolic.

00:12:55.000 I mean, you know, shouldn't we be reaching out and creating, you know, some sort of common ground with these administrations?

00:13:03.000 And it's like, okay, maybe.

00:13:05.000 But he's actually, once again, proven right, a little ahead of the curve.

00:13:08.000 Islands of totalitarianism.

00:13:10.000 These universities are absolutely beholden to the tyranny of the minority.

00:13:15.000 The loudest voice in the room is always this minority voice, but they're the loudest and they're the most upset. 0.51

00:13:24.000 And guess what? 1.00

00:13:25.000 The university always folds to them. 0.91

00:13:27.000 That's why we have to put pressure on governors, on state legislatures, especially in red states, especially in red states.

00:13:34.000 Because folks, if you think this is bad now, if you think universities are imposing mandates now and on their high horse and this moral authority to do so now, wait until Delta Lambda Epsilon comes.

00:13:49.000 Now, that may sound like a bad fraternity, but it's not.

00:13:53.000 These are just COVID variants that they're all saying are probably going to be resistant to the vaccine anyways.

00:13:59.000 So here's the irony, folks.

00:14:00.000 They're going to mandate you get a vaccine that Delta Lambda Epsilon variants aren't even probably going to be, it's not going to be effective against.

00:14:09.000 And again, this is not a fraternity, a poor-sounding white supremacist fraternity on campus somewhere.

00:14:16.000 It's just Delta variant, Lambda variant, and Epsilon variant.

00:14:19.000 Now, what's hilarious about this controversy of medical apartheid is these are the same people that every four years spent four years calling Trump a Nazi.

00:14:30.000 And they labeled everything at the border a Holocaust.

00:14:32.000 And now one time something is said accurately and they're all up in arms.

00:14:37.000 He's trending on Twitter, all these articles written about it.

00:14:39.000 This is the left, folks.

00:14:41.000 Don't let them play word games with you.

00:14:45.000 Did you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?

00:14:49.000 It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.

00:14:53.000 How can they even call it incognito?

00:14:55.000 To really stop these people from visiting, from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use Express VPN.

00:15:02.000 Think about all the times you've used The Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' home.

00:15:06.000 Without ExpressVPN, every single site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.

00:15:12.000 And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.

00:15:15.000 What's more is your home internet provider, I'm talking about Comcast, ATT, or whatever, can also see and record your browsing data.

00:15:22.000 ExpressVPN is an application, it's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers so that your private online activity says just that.

00:15:31.000 Private.

00:15:32.000 ExpressVPN works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.

00:15:36.000 So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.

00:15:53.000 Who shot Ashley Babbitt?

00:15:55.000 It's a question that has really been an unanswered, bubbling up cauldron of curiosity, passion.

00:16:05.000 It's fueled a lot of speculation.

00:16:06.000 I can tell you that.

00:16:07.000 We've been asking this question since it happened, January 6th.

00:16:11.000 We've been investigating.

00:16:12.000 We've been told rumors.

00:16:14.000 We get dozens, if not hundreds, of emails with tips from you, the listeners, at freedom at charliekirk.com saying, Hey, have you looked into this person?

00:16:22.000 Oh, look at this clip with the, you know, we saw the clips with the bracelet and the gun.

00:16:29.000 We've been hearing a lot, folks.

00:16:31.000 We've been watching and monitoring.

00:16:32.000 We made a decision, a conscious decision, to not get out over our skis out of the respect for the individuals that could be named.

00:16:42.000 Okay, because there was actually one officer that was incorrectly named, and it was not a good thing.

00:16:49.000 It was not fair to that person.

00:16:51.000 Now, that being said, enter Paul Sperry.

00:16:55.000 Now, Paul Sperry is a Hoover Institute Media Fellow, really smart guy.

00:17:00.000 He's come out with a pretty incredible report here from Real Clear Investigations.

00:17:07.000 When somebody like Paul Sperry and Real Clear publishes something, then that is something to behold.

00:17:17.000 Now, what Trump was saying is absolutely true.

00:17:20.000 Now, had this happened to anybody else, if the shoe was on the other foot, if it was a liberal getting shot, then we would have absolutely known the identity of this police officer within seconds.

00:17:33.000 But because it was a rioter, a part of the siege on the Capitol, we didn't get to hear about the name of this person.

00:17:41.000 And Paul does actually a really, really great job of framing what this double standard with the U.S. Capitol Police is.

00:17:52.000 And Trump was highlighting this.

00:17:54.000 He said, had this been any other person, we would know right away, but we have not known for six months.

00:18:00.000 Okay, now, Paul starts his piece in Real Clear like this.

00:18:03.000 He says, most police departments, including Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police, are required to release an officer's name within days of a fatal shooting.

00:18:12.000 Not the U.S. Capitol Police, which is controlled by who?

00:18:16.000 That's right, by Congress and answers only to Congress, namely, I'm adding this.

00:18:22.000 This isn't in the piece.

00:18:23.000 Speaker Pelosi.

00:18:25.000 It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely, which is what happened with the January 6th shooting of Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed protester in the U.S. Capitol riot who was fatally wounded by a plainclothes police lieutenant as she attempted to breach a set of doors inside the building.

00:18:47.000 For the past six months, as Congress has proposed legislation to reform police departments across the country, this is the rub here, folks.

00:18:54.000 This is almost too good to be true.

00:18:56.000 For the past six months, as Congress has proposed legislation to reform police departments across the country, the Capitol Police has stiff-armed government watchdogs, journalists, and even lawyers for Babbitt who have sought the identity of the officer and additional details about the shooting.

00:19:13.000 The USCP, the U.S. Capitol Police, still refuses to release his name in stark contrast to recent high-profile police shootings around the nation.

00:19:24.000 Did you catch that?

00:19:27.000 So, while the Democrats are pushing, pushing, pushing in this righteous fight for transparency, for accountability.

00:19:39.000 And by the way, I have no problem with police having to wear cameras on their person.

00:19:45.000 I think it's fine.

00:19:46.000 I think it's great.

00:19:47.000 I also think that schools we should have cameras in schools, as has been the controversy of the week.

00:19:53.000 We absolutely should have both.

00:19:55.000 I mean, by the way, on that note, this became a whole controversy.

00:19:58.000 We were calling for cameras in schools.

00:20:00.000 I think we pulled a tweet as far as March of last year saying that we should have cameras in schools.

00:20:10.000 Nevertheless, it's in the news again, and we should absolutely do so.

00:20:14.000 There's nothing more important than our children.

00:20:17.000 There's nothing more important than being able to pass along the values to the next generation.

00:20:21.000 And what you have here, folks, is a bunch of radical leftists making a big deal about cameras that would expose a bunch of radical leftists.

00:20:32.000 That's all it is.

00:20:34.000 So we should expose them.

00:20:35.000 Nevertheless, these radicals have been pushing for transparency and accountability in our police departments all across the country.

00:20:42.000 It's become this civil rights guarantee, this cause du jour, this cause célèbre.

00:20:52.000 And yet, one exception to that rule is the Capitol Police Department.

00:20:59.000 This is an irony and a hypocrisy, and it's outrageous.

00:21:02.000 It's an outrage, folks.

00:21:04.000 We should not let it stand.

00:21:07.000 In February, the USCP, the U.S. Capitol Police, issued a press release promising to share additional information once the investigation is complete.

00:21:18.000 But Justice Department investigators closed their probe in April, clearing the officer of criminal wrongdoing and Babbitt's death, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide.

00:21:27.000 Well, of course it was.

00:21:28.000 We have it on tape.

00:21:30.000 And last month, the D.C. police, which shares jurisdiction with the Capitol Police and has led the investigation into Babbitt's shooting, concluded its own internal review of the shooting without making any findings, according to spokeswoman Kristen Metzger.

00:21:45.000 Still, the USCP continues stonewalling the public, according to the head of the police union.

00:21:52.000 All right.

00:21:53.000 So I think we have this clip.

00:21:55.000 So this is what's fairly interesting.

00:21:59.000 We've got a new name that seems to be circulating.

00:22:07.000 So again, I mentioned before that special agent David Bailey was wrongly fingered as the shooter.

00:22:12.000 And we were very well aware of this mistake.

00:22:15.000 It's why we have not come out and said this name publicly.

00:22:17.000 But this new name, as revealed by Paul Sperry in Real Clear Investigations, and just to keep the suspense building, Paul Sperry, I mean, writes for the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Hoover Institute Media Fellow.

00:22:35.000 He's very, very smart guy.

00:22:36.000 Very, very good guy.

00:22:36.000 You'll see him on Fox all the time.

00:22:39.000 He names him.

00:22:40.000 So we're going to name him.

00:22:41.000 Lieutenant Michael L. Bird.

00:22:45.000 It's Lieutenant Michael L. Bird.

00:22:49.000 And this is what's interesting.

00:22:50.000 Found this clip from a transcript on C-SPAN from the House Sergeant-at-Arms, where he cited Lieutenant Michael Bird.

00:23:03.000 Let's go ahead and play clip 54.

00:23:06.000 In terms of the communication with my staff, the sergeant at arms, we don't control the Capitol Police radios while we have the radios and can hear what is or is not going on.

00:23:20.000 We do not interject during a crisis.

00:23:23.000 We communicate with our staff via the cell phone, text message, and we were in close contact.

00:23:30.000 The situation where you discussed where Officer Bird was at the door when Miss Babbitt was shot, it was our sergeant at arms employee who rendered the aid to her.

00:23:43.000 So hear that again.

00:23:44.000 Listen to the end of this clip very carefully.

00:23:47.000 It seems like the acting sergeant-at-arms might have let the name slip.

00:23:52.000 And this is again from February 25th.

00:23:54.000 This is a house hearing.

00:23:56.000 This is both on C-SPAN and CSC.

00:23:59.000 Here's what's funny about this: both C-SPAN and CNN removed his name from the transcript.

00:24:05.000 But we have that video right there.

00:24:07.000 And here what he said: the situation where Officer Bird was at the door and Miss Babbitt was shot.

00:24:16.000 Okay, so that's the transcript.

00:24:17.000 You heard him accidentally slip Officer Bird's name.

00:24:21.000 Now, Bird appears to match the description of the shooter.

00:24:24.000 Again, this is from Real Clear, who video footage shows is an African-American dressed that day in a business suit.

00:24:32.000 Jewelry, including a beaded bracelet and lapel pin, also match up with photos of Bird.

00:24:40.000 In addition, this is again real clear.

00:24:43.000 We're not making this stuff up.

00:24:44.000 Bird's resume lines up with what is known about the experience and position of the officer involved in the shooting, a veteran USCP officer who holds the rank of lieutenant and is the commander of the House Chamber section of the Capitol Police.

00:25:01.000 What's more suspicious, and which leads me to believe that this is in fact the person, this is the person who shot Ashley Babbitt, following the shooting, Bird's internet footprint was scrubbed.

00:25:12.000 That's right, folks.

00:25:13.000 Scrubbed, including his social media and personal photos.

00:25:20.000 He was also placed on administrative leave right after the January 6th incident.

00:25:30.000 His attorney would neither confirm nor deny that the 53-year-old Bird is the shooter and warned that disclosing his name poses a safety risk to the officer.

00:25:43.000 So here's what's interesting.

00:25:44.000 You say, well, Charlie, because normally Charlie's posting, Andrew, why would you not just put a FOIA in?

00:25:51.000 Freedom of Information request.

00:25:54.000 Here's the kicker.

00:25:56.000 Congress has exempted the USCP from Freedom of Information Act requests.

00:26:05.000 You can't even get this, folks.

00:26:07.000 The Secret Service is subject to FOIAs.

00:26:10.000 The Secret Service, which protects the President of the United States, is subject to FOIAs.

00:26:15.000 And yet, Congress, which controls the USCP, has exempted the Capitol Police.

00:26:22.000 Okay, that's another outrage.

00:26:26.000 Why should Pelosi's own police, which by the way, is expanding all across the country?

00:26:31.000 They're setting up outposts in California and Florida, all over the place, in using January 6th as an excuse.

00:26:39.000 They sit back, refuse to comply with requests of the family that lost.

00:26:43.000 This is a service woman, an Air Force veteran of our country from Orange County, California.

00:26:51.000 They won't tell anybody who shot their family member.

00:26:57.000 Unarmed.

00:26:59.000 By the way, the only bullet that was fired in the January 6th incident was shot at Ashley Babbitt, and she's the only one that lost her life that was not from natural causes.

00:27:11.000 We know that.

00:27:11.000 Even Officer Sitnik died probably of a stroke.

00:27:17.000 Folks, this is an outrage, but at least we have answers now.

00:27:21.000 Thank you to Mr. Sperry for this incredible report.

00:27:24.000 Real clear investigations.

00:27:26.000 We'll get this up on charliekirk.com so you guys can see it yourself.

00:27:29.000 Lieutenant Michael Bird likely shot Ashley Babbitt.

00:27:36.000 Look, I know a lot of you are pushing back against vegan culture.

00:27:41.000 Now, maybe you're vegan, and that's fine.

00:27:43.000 I do that sometimes too.

00:27:44.000 You know, sometimes I get the fake burgers and all this, but when I do that with my wife, I have to be honest, I feel to myself, I miss the real meat.

00:27:52.000 Do you know that you might be eating Chinese meat?

00:27:55.000 That's right.

00:27:55.000 You might be eating meat from China.

00:27:58.000 Now, the way to ensure that you're not eating Chinese meat is goodranchers.com. 0.82

00:28:02.000 I get my meat from goodranchers.com.

00:28:04.000 They send you a big box.

00:28:06.000 Now, I know a lot of you want to impress your neighbors.

00:28:09.000 Maybe you got the new lawnmower.

00:28:11.000 Maybe you built the new pool.

00:28:12.000 But if you all of a sudden want your neighbors to be clamoring and chattering, whispering and gossiping and saying, I wish I had what the Smiths or the Joneses or the Schmucktenbergers or any of the other people have, then all of a sudden you want them to say, I am so unbelievably ready.

00:28:29.000 Wait till you get a box of marbled, genuine American meat delivered to your door.

00:28:36.000 You see, my friends at Good Ranchers, they've traveled America.

00:28:42.000 They've been everywhere, all across America, searching for the best meat for you.

00:28:49.000 You see, they met with the actual farmers.

00:28:51.000 They're pro-farmer.

00:29:16.000 I really do.

00:29:17.000 I think Good Ranchers is a way to solve the what I call Applebee's chaos.

00:29:23.000 Where do we want to go to eat?

00:29:24.000 Everything's booked.

00:29:25.000 I guess we'll go to Applebee's.

00:29:26.000 You end up fighting.

00:29:27.000 And that's what happens when you go out, unless you have meals at home.

00:29:30.000 You see, bring the family back together.

00:29:32.000 No more grocery store guessing game. 1.00

00:30:21.000 New effort to stop mandatory vaccination of college students, the healthiest cohort in the country, 18, 19, 20, 21-year-olds.

00:30:30.000 The likelihood that they're going to die if they get COVID is infinitesimally small, especially when we don't know anything about this vaccine, when you don't know the long-term effects, certainly.

00:30:42.000 Now, I'm not saying I'm anti-vaccine, I'm not saying I'm pro-vaccine, I'm saying I'm vaccine agnostic.

00:30:47.000 That is the position of Charlie.

00:30:48.000 That is the position of the show.

00:30:52.000 And, you know, hats off to Charlie and to Turning Point USA for stepping into the gap, fighting back against these vaccines, these mandates for our young people when we don't know the long-term effects.

00:31:06.000 And I don't mean to go back to the Tucker Carlson well so much, but I mean, Charlie was on his show last night announcing this major new initiative to fight back against mandatory vaccines.

00:31:16.000 And he happens to just be in the news in another way regarding NSA spying.

00:31:21.000 So everybody on the right is now saying Tucker Carlson has been vindicated with his NSA spying claim because if you'll remember on June 28th, last week, he came out and he said, hey, you know, we've been getting spied on.

00:31:36.000 And there is a person in the know from our intelligence community that has confirmed and affirmed that they are spying on me.

00:31:44.000 They're taking my emails.

00:31:45.000 And the only way that this person would know is by having my emails because I haven't talked about this situation with anybody else.

00:31:52.000 Well, a report came out from Jonathan Swan over to Axios that said that Tucker was talking to U.S.-based Kremlin intermediaries about setting up an interview with Vladimir Putin shortly before the Fox News host accused the national security agency, the NSA, of spying on him.

00:32:10.000 Sources familiar with the conversations tell Axios.

00:32:16.000 Okay, so here's, let's just get some of the sound here.

00:32:21.000 Cut 51 of Tucker himself explaining this.

00:32:23.000 Cut 51.

00:32:25.000 Yesterday we learned that sources in the so-called intelligence community told at least one reporter in Washington what was in those emails, my emails.

00:32:34.000 There was nothing scandalous in there, thank God.

00:32:36.000 We're happy to report that.

00:32:37.000 Late this spring, I contacted a couple of people I thought could help get us an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

00:32:43.000 I told nobody I was doing this other than my executive producer, Justin Wells.

00:32:47.000 I wasn't embarrassed about trying to interview Putin.

00:32:49.000 He's obviously newsworthy.

00:32:51.000 I'm an American citizen.

00:32:52.000 I can interview anyone I want and I plan to.

00:32:56.000 That's right.

00:32:56.000 So he's reaching out.

00:32:57.000 And by the way, we'd sort of heard that there was an intrigue around this particular situation.

00:33:03.000 Now, here's the big, big picture.

00:33:05.000 Carlson charges instantly became a touch point with the NSA.

00:33:09.000 They denied that they were doing it.

00:33:11.000 Now we find out he was trying to interview Putin.

00:33:14.000 Journalists, routineists, according to Axios, reach out to world leaders, including leaders of countries that are not allied with the U.S., to request interviews.

00:33:23.000 When you go outside of the U.S. and you're talking to international leaders, can the NSA spy on you?

00:33:28.000 It's unclear why the NSA would have done this, but what we do know now is that Tucker Carlson was reaching out to people on U.S. soil to help line up an interview with Vladimir Putin.

00:33:42.000 And it looks as though, and this is the suggestion that Tucker Carlson is making, that the NSA was leaking these emails or somebody was leaking these emails.

00:33:51.000 Tucker Carlson certainly says that it's the NSA in order to discredit him and to make him look like an anti-American pro-Russian zealot.

00:34:03.000 When he's saying, I have nothing to be ashamed of, this is absolutely illegal, which it is.

00:34:10.000 And I'll get into why that is in just a second.

00:34:14.000 And that he should be free to interview anyone he wants.

00:34:18.000 Of course, that's true.

00:34:18.000 He's an American.

00:34:19.000 He should be.

00:34:20.000 So here's how Axios's Jonathan Swan lays it out.

00:34:23.000 He said, experts say there are several plausible scenarios, including legal scenarios that could help.

00:34:29.000 And I think that's important that we say that.

00:34:32.000 There's certain contexts in which this could be legal.

00:34:36.000 Okay, the first and least likely scenario is that the U.S. government submitted a request to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

00:34:42.000 This is also known as the FISA court to monitor Carlson to protect national security.

00:34:48.000 That's possible.

00:34:49.000 It's probably not plausible.

00:34:50.000 It's probably not the most likely scenario here.

00:34:53.000 A more plausible scenario, according to Jonathan Swan, Axios again, is that one of the people Carlson was talking to as an intermediary to help him get the Putin interview was under surveillance as a foreign agent.

00:35:04.000 This is what we've been speculating on the show here, too.

00:35:07.000 In that scenario, Carlson's emails or text messages could have been incidentally collected as part of monitoring this person.

00:35:14.000 But here's the kicker, folks, and this is why I think Tucker should pursue this legally to the fullest extent of the law.

00:35:23.000 In that scenario, his emails could have been collected.

00:35:26.000 Okay.

00:35:27.000 But Carlson's identity would have been masked in any intelligence reports.

00:35:34.000 In order to know that the texts and emails were Carlson's, a U.S. government official would likely have to request his identity to be unmasked, something that's only permitted if the unmasking is necessary to understand the intelligence.

00:35:49.000 Okay.

00:35:50.000 So what Tucker is saying here is that had my emails been intercepted by the intelligence community, I would have been listed as, you know, U.S. reporter, investigative journalist.

00:36:03.000 It would have been abstract.

00:36:05.000 It wouldn't have been specific.

00:36:06.000 What Tucker's saying is that he was informed by an insider, a whistleblower, that his name was being thrown around within the intelligence community, the NSA, Tucker Carlson's emails, and that he had those emails leaked to a reporter in order to discredit him as anti-American, pro-Russian, pro-Vladimir Putin.

00:36:27.000 So here's the technical piece of this.

00:36:30.000 And we covered actually this last time I hosted the show.

00:36:34.000 The U.S. government routinely monitors the communications of people in Putin's orbit who may have been discussing the details of Carlson's request for an interview.

00:36:43.000 But under this scenario, too, Carlson's identity would have been masked in reports as part of his protections as a U.S. citizen.

00:36:52.000 And in order to unmask his identity, that would have been a request through the FISA court.

00:36:58.000 Okay.

00:36:59.000 Tucker himself explains this in Cut 53.

00:37:03.000 Let's go ahead and play Cut 53, Tucker explaining this very context.

00:37:09.000 So by law, I should have been identified internally merely as a U.S. journalist or American journalist.

00:37:15.000 That's the law.

00:37:17.000 But that's not how I was identified.

00:37:18.000 I was identified by name.

00:37:19.000 I was unmasked.

00:37:21.000 People in the building learned who I was.

00:37:23.000 And then my name and the contents of my emails left that building at the NSA and wound up with a news organization in Washington.

00:37:31.000 That is illegal.

00:37:32.000 In fact, it is precisely what this law was designed to prevent in the first place.

00:37:37.000 We cannot have intelligence agencies used as instruments of political control.

00:37:43.000 That's exactly right.

00:37:44.000 This is the third world.

00:37:46.000 And this is a point that Tucker himself makes.

00:37:48.000 This is third world Banana Republic style surveillance state tactics.

00:37:53.000 Now, it would have been one thing had his name been masked, had he been his communication been swept up in a dragnet that was just observing and surveilling foreign agents.

00:38:07.000 But to unmask and then leak to a journalist is third world Banana Republic nonsense.

00:38:17.000 By law, the NSA is required to keep secret the identities of American citizens who have been caught up in its vast domestic spying operations.

00:38:27.000 That is law.

00:38:29.000 So, Tucker Carlson should absolutely pursue this and see what sort of restitution he can get.

00:38:37.000 Now, everybody's calling this a vindication for Tucker Carlson, and it is.

00:38:41.000 That being said, there's one final point that I would be remiss if I did not share with you all on this story.

00:38:48.000 The intrigue.

00:38:49.000 This is again from Jonathan Swan.

00:38:50.000 This could be legal.

00:38:52.000 And I don't know if that makes this worse or better.

00:38:56.000 But this could be legal, and we have to cover that.

00:38:59.000 So, two sources familiar with Carlson's communication.

00:39:02.000 So, again, Jonathan Swan's doing investigations.

00:39:05.000 He's got real sources that are confirming this actually happened.

00:39:08.000 Said his two Kremlin intermediaries live in the United States, but the sources could not confirm whether both are American citizens or whether both were on U.S. soil at the time they communicated with Carlson.

00:39:20.000 This is relevant.

00:39:22.000 Again, I don't know if this makes it better or worse.

00:39:26.000 If there's a technicality in the law which is being exploited and gamed by our intelligence agencies, you better believe they're going to game and exploit it.

00:39:34.000 This is relevant because if one of these intermediaries was a foreign national and on foreign soil during the communications, the U.S. government wouldn't necessarily have had to seek approval to monitor their communications.

00:39:47.000 Okay?

00:39:50.000 If you're going to request interviews with foreign leaders, I mean, I think there is some expectation within journalist class that that would be subject to surveillance.

00:40:02.000 The unmasking and the leaking to reporters, that's third world Banana Republic stuff.

00:40:06.000 That being said, we have to be very clear what our issue is and what our issue is not.

00:40:12.000 Okay, so that is a big story, and it's getting lots of lots of headlines.

00:40:17.000 I do think Tucker has been vindicated.

00:40:19.000 I think he's an absolute hero for exposing it.

00:40:25.000 Look, going to the post office is the worst.

00:40:29.000 And look, finally, life is returning some back to normal.

00:40:33.000 I hope.

00:40:34.000 Who knows?

00:40:35.000 The summer is showing welcoming signs of something nice coming ahead.

00:40:39.000 Finally, you can get back to enjoying life's little pleasures, like smiling at your neighbor.

00:40:44.000 I hope you've been doing that already or seeing a movie.

00:40:47.000 But going to the post office, and no, do not go to the post office.

00:40:51.000 So don't go to the post office.

00:41:33.000 Never go to the post office again.

00:41:38.000 Luckily enough, we have a little bit of truth-telling from the mainstream news media.

00:41:46.000 This is from Salvador Rizzo.

00:41:48.000 The White House's slipshod claim that Republicans are defunding the police.

00:41:54.000 Many of you have heard this.

00:41:57.000 This report.

00:41:58.000 Even Trump talked about it in his press conference yesterday, actually, which I thought was pretty funny.

00:42:03.000 And actually, I was very glad to hear him bring this up and call a lie a lie because so much of what we do in this country, especially in the media landscape, this matrix world we're all living in, is they literally just lie.

00:42:17.000 They gaslight.

00:42:17.000 And you know what happens is they say a lie enough times.

00:42:21.000 Eventually it becomes the truth.

00:42:22.000 That is the strategy that they're employing.

00:42:25.000 I'm going to play cut 60.

00:42:26.000 This is Jen Saki implying that Republicans are actually the party that wanted to fund the police.

00:42:32.000 But part of his announcement is also ensuring there's specific guidance to communities across the country to ensure that they have funding to get more community police around the country.

00:42:43.000 Something that was supported by the American Jobs Plan that was supported, that was voted into law by Democrats just a couple of months ago.

00:42:50.000 Some might say that the other party was for defunding the police.

00:42:52.000 I'll let others say that, but that's a piece.

00:42:55.000 Now, White House advisors are trying to turn the tables on the GOP with new talking point.

00:42:59.000 That's exactly what it is.

00:43:00.000 It's talking point.

00:43:00.000 It's a strategy.

00:43:01.000 They're trying to play you, claiming it's actually Republicans who are working to defund the police.

00:43:06.000 Richmond, a former Democratic congressman who leads the White House Office of Public Engagement, said on Fox News that Republican lawmakers opposed a $1.9 trillion corona relief, coronavirus relief bill, which included $350 billion.

00:43:19.000 We throw these numbers up like they're nothing.

00:43:21.000 $350 billion in state and local aid.

00:43:24.000 Many local governments are tapping those emergency funds to patch budget holes, hire officers, and avoid police layoffs.

00:43:33.000 So then this is what brought up the conversation with Miss Saki.

00:43:38.000 Sake bombed in that particular incident.

00:43:41.000 And this is actually an exchange with Peter Doocy.

00:43:44.000 So Peter Doocy then asked this amazing question, which, you know, thank God for Peter Ducey.

00:43:51.000 He's the one guy in there that's actually hanging tough.

00:43:54.000 He's asking the real questions.

00:43:56.000 He destroys this line of reasoning by saying, which Republican ever told you they didn't support the American Rescue Plan because they wanted to defund the police?

00:44:06.000 Well, of course, the answer is no one.

00:44:10.000 Not one Republican has ever called for defunding the police.

00:44:14.000 Not one.

00:44:14.000 Not a single one.

00:44:17.000 Never.

00:44:17.000 So let's define what it means to defund the police.

00:44:20.000 This is from the Washington Post, a popular movement among some liberal activists, some liberalists.

00:44:26.000 This is mainstream as it gets defunded with police.

00:44:28.000 If you guys remember when all the rioting was going on last summer and into the fall, defund the police was like about as popular and mainstream as it gets.

00:44:41.000 So this is Washington Post.

00:44:43.000 Again, only in a rare instances are proponents calling for the outright elimination of police departments.

00:44:49.000 Yeah, right.

00:44:49.000 They've literally tried it in Minnesota, failed.

00:44:51.000 They tried it in Portland, failed.

00:44:53.000 Advocates generally want to redirect some funds now spent on police forces to items such as education, public health, housing, and youth services.

00:45:02.000 So what they say is that Biden is actually, so this is why we don't get four Pinocchios.

00:45:09.000 This is ridiculous, but he's advocating for something called community-oriented policing services, COPS hiring program, which provides funds for local police departments to bolster their ranks.

00:45:23.000 Okay.

00:45:24.000 In President Donald Trump's budget last year, $156.5 million was provided for cops hiring.

00:45:29.000 Biden would boost that to $388.

00:45:31.000 So they're saying, oh, look at Biden's not for defunding the police, but you and I all know the truth.

00:45:38.000 This is three Pinocchios, should be four from the Washington Post.

00:45:41.000 We know that the only party that's interested in defunding our police and demonizing them is the Democrats.

00:45:49.000 Folks, I want to cover January 6th.

00:45:53.000 We covered who killed Ashley Babbitt, and I think that was an important conversation.

00:45:59.000 Lieutenant Bird is the man that we have now found out is probably likely the person that killed Ashley Babbitt.

00:46:11.000 We'll find out if that's ultimately verified.

00:46:16.000 Let me see here.

00:46:19.000 So we know that there has been a massive double standard when it comes to the way that individuals involved in the January 6th breach have been treated compared with individuals that were rioting in the spring and summer of 2020.

00:46:38.000 And now this letter is a little bit old, but it's important because it is signed by the honorable Ron Johnson, who's just been an absolute titan lately.

00:46:49.000 That guy is just on fire.

00:46:51.000 He's hitting dingers left and right.

00:46:52.000 Ron Johnson, senator from Wisconsin.

00:46:54.000 God bless you.

00:46:55.000 Senator Mike Lee, great friend of the show.

00:46:57.000 Senator Ted Cruz, also a friend of the show.

00:46:59.000 Tommy Tuberville, Rick Scott, all great guys.

00:47:03.000 Here we go.

00:47:04.000 So they wrote this to Merrick Garland, who's a real gem, by the way.

00:47:08.000 I have a theory on Merrick Garland that he's just about the worst.

00:47:13.000 He's probably the worst.

00:47:14.000 You know why Merrick Garland is bad?

00:47:17.000 It's because he's so understated.

00:47:20.000 He's kindly and old and sort of calm in his delivery.

00:47:26.000 You know, there are certain attributes that make it harder to attack.

00:47:31.000 But then when he speaks and when he goes after Georgia for their election integrity law, he's like a snake.

00:47:37.000 He's a viper.

00:47:38.000 He comes, I mean, he's making allegations that are simply unfounded. 0.81

00:47:43.000 Anyways, he's like the, you know, he's the pit bull for the Biden administration, but he comes off like he's a Chihuahua.

00:47:50.000 Well, maybe that's even too mean. 0.53

00:47:51.000 I'm not a big Chihuahua fan. 0.99

00:47:52.000 Sorry, folks, if you're fans of Chihuahuas.

00:47:54.000 Little dogs and me, we're not so happy together.

00:47:59.000 Okay.

00:48:00.000 So this is June 7th, when this was written.

00:48:04.000 And I love this framing because, folks, we know that these are essentially political prisoners being held in solitary confinement.

00:48:12.000 Okay.

00:48:14.000 And why do we know that?

00:48:15.000 It's because we've got these senators writing this letter to Merrick Garland asking some amazing questions.

00:48:22.000 Now, they say, they start off the letter.

00:48:23.000 Let me just summarize it for you.

00:48:24.000 They start off the letter by saying, hey, we all stand against trespassing in the Capitol.

00:48:29.000 Obviously, we're not for that.

00:48:31.000 And we think that those responsible should be held accountable, especially those who organize any of this.

00:48:37.000 And we join all Americans in the expectation that the GOJ's response to the events of January 6th will result in rightful criminal prosecutions and accountability.

00:48:44.000 Okay.

00:48:47.000 But then they bring up spring and summer of 2020.

00:48:51.000 They say, rightfully, individuals use peaceful protests across the country to engage in rioting and other crimes that resulted in loss of life, injuries to law enforcement officers, and significant property damage.

00:49:04.000 They bring up the federal courthouse in Portland, which is, as they say, been effectively under siege for months.

00:49:10.000 This is 100% true.

00:49:12.000 Property destruction and the billions.

00:49:16.000 Insurance claims, $2 billion.

00:49:18.000 Check this out.

00:49:19.000 This is actually a DOJ report, and they compiled some of this.

00:49:25.000 And this is all the way from back in last year.

00:49:27.000 This number is probably much higher now.

00:49:29.000 They said one federal officer was killed, 147, 147 federal officers were injured, and 600 local officers were injured during the protest, frequently from projectiles.

00:49:41.000 Let me say that again.

00:49:43.000 600 local police officers were injured.

00:49:47.000 Absolutely dramatic.

00:49:50.000 You know, honestly, I'm not shocked.

00:49:52.000 It's just we never talk about this.

00:49:56.000 There were a loss from burglaries during this time.

00:50:00.000 There was a loss of 1,116 firearms, 876 reported arson, 76 explosive incidents, and 46 ATF arrests.

00:50:11.000 The DOJ basically didn't punish any of those folks.

00:50:16.000 And this is not the first time that this has happened.

00:50:19.000 It says, it appears that individuals charged with committing crimes at these events may benefit from infrequent prosecutions and minimal, if any, penalties.

00:50:27.000 Well, of course, because they are on the right side of the political issue here.

00:50:33.000 They're on the right side of history.

00:50:35.000 It's a little bit cliche, that expression for me now.

00:50:39.000 But to contrast, this is what the senators, the good senators, say.

00:50:43.000 To date, DOJ has charged 510 individuals stemming from the Capitol breach.

00:50:49.000 DOJ maintains and updates a webpage that lists the defendants charged with crimes committed at the Capitol.

00:50:55.000 Meanwhile, we had to dig and dig and dig and wait months to find out who killed Ashley Babbitt.

00:50:59.000 But they've got a website where you can actually look at the names and the defendants, their case numbers, case documents.

00:51:05.000 No such database exists for alleged perpetrators of crimes associated with the spring and summer 2020 arrests.

00:51:12.000 Here we go.

00:51:13.000 So they've got some questions.

00:51:16.000 They outline about 18 amazing questions.

00:51:20.000 This is their question for the spring and summer of 2020 unrest.

00:51:23.000 Did federal law enforcement utilize geolocation data from the defendants' cell phones to track protesters associated with the unrest in the spring and summer of 2020?

00:51:32.000 If so, how many times?

00:51:33.000 And then they asked that same question about January 6th, because of course they use geo-tracking of the protesters.

00:51:42.000 Anyways, it's very, very important what's going on here.

00:51:45.000 We've got some sound I want to play related to this topic.

00:51:47.000 Let's go ahead and play cut 62.

00:51:52.000 Cut 62.

00:51:53.000 This is a segment.

00:51:54.000 This is Julie Kelly. 1.00

00:51:56.000 Let's go ahead and play it, and we'll get to it on the backside.

00:52:00.000 I mean, this is a constitutional humanitarian crisis, especially for the people who've been charged and held in solitary confinement like they're harding criminals.

00:52:09.000 At the same time, the same Justice Department who has made public that they are releasing the same type of rioters, actually people charged with far more dangerous crimes, releasing them, expunging their records, and, you know, obviously encouraging more violence because they always get away with it.

00:52:28.000 But if you're on the political right, you will not.

00:52:30.000 You will be punished severely.

00:52:33.000 And that's the crux of the issue here, folks, is if you are on the wrong political side, the institutions in this country have been so corrupted under the Biden administration that we can never ever hope to get equal application of the law.

00:52:46.000 And this is what the good senators' letter to the snake Merrick Garland are exposing.

00:52:54.000 Now, I want you to think back to the protests on Inauguration Day 2017.

00:53:01.000 Trump obviously upsets the political establishment.

00:53:06.000 There is widespread protesting.

00:53:08.000 We've got Madonna talking about blowing up the White House.

00:53:12.000 Cars are on fire in Washington, D.C. In that protest, 234 arrests.

00:53:18.000 Remember, this was so, I'll never forget that day during the inauguration, where the big question was: is Donald Trump going to get out of the limo and actually walk down the street exposed?

00:53:39.000 And I believe that was Pennsylvania Avenue.

00:53:41.000 But regardless, the question was: was he going to get out?

00:53:45.000 We didn't know if he was going to get out of the car.

00:53:47.000 And I remember sitting there watching the footage.

00:53:49.000 I was at home.

00:53:49.000 I was watching it on TV.

00:53:50.000 I was not in D.C., but I remember watching it going, don't get out.

00:53:54.000 Don't get out.

00:53:55.000 We need you too much.

00:53:56.000 Don't get out and have somebody, you know, do something horrible and awful.

00:54:01.000 And there was riots everywhere.

00:54:05.000 Well, I'll never forget as well, the Washington Post article that 19 minutes after the inauguration said the journey to impeach Donald Trump has now begun.

00:54:15.000 19 minutes in.

00:54:18.000 Don't get out of that car.

00:54:19.000 There was mass chaos in D.C. that day.

00:54:22.000 234 arrests, zero jury convictions.

00:54:27.000 That's right.

00:54:28.000 So you could make the case that D.C. was under siege by Antifa, by far-left radicals, that meant much harm to the president of the United States, yet not a single defendant was found guilty by juries in D.C. Superior Court.

00:54:48.000 21 defendants did plead guilty before trial, and one, Dane Powell, served jail time, four months behind bars for throwing rocks and bricks at police officers and shattering store windows.

00:54:58.000 So just one served time.

00:55:01.000 It's just incredible the difference.

00:55:06.000 So here's what we know about January 6th, by contrast.

00:55:10.000 By mid-May, at least 440 people had been arrested on charges related to the capital breach.

00:55:18.000 This is according to the DOJ, including at least 125 charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

00:55:26.000 Okay, so 440 people have been arrested on charges.

00:55:31.000 And of 398 defendants listed on the Justice Department's Capitol Breach case site, at least 330 were listed on the site or in federal court records and as released from custody.

00:55:46.000 Okay, so this is what they're saying.

00:55:47.000 They're saying that 75%, and there's this piece in The Guardian that was making sense of this.

00:55:51.000 And I have a totally different take.

00:55:52.000 They're saying all these people are getting released for the breach.

00:55:57.000 75%.

00:55:58.000 That's very unusual.

00:55:58.000 Normally, it's only about 25%, apparently.

00:56:01.000 What that is, folks, is not the federal law enforcement being lenient on the January 6th breach.

00:56:10.000 It's that they went so far out of bounds at the beginning to appease the media uproar that they spread their net far too wide.

00:56:18.000 They were collecting grandmas off the street.

00:56:20.000 They were spread their net so far that we should expect, honestly, about 98% of these people to be released.

00:56:27.000 It should be far higher than 75%.

00:56:30.000 But what else is very troubling, and this is what's very interesting, is that you've got Senator Liz Elizabeth Warren actually standing up in defense of these January 6th political prisoners because many are in solitary confinement.

00:56:50.000 I want to play this clip from a father who is talking about his Ned Lang, father of a January 6th detainee.

00:56:57.000 Play Cut 56.

00:56:59.000 Jake has not had a haircut in six months now.

00:57:03.000 He has no access to, when Steve goes down and talks to him, he has no access to a private interview with an attorney.

00:57:10.000 He has no access to the law library.

00:57:14.000 It's like we're in a third world country.

00:57:15.000 It's unbelievable.

00:57:17.000 From what he's telling me and what I'm hearing, he's being held, no haircuts, solitary confinement, 23 hours and only one hour out.

00:57:28.000 Look, we all complain about the woke industrial complex.

00:57:32.000 The woke Marxists that are running our schools, that are running media, and yes, also running our banks.

00:57:41.000 You see, look, the real estate market, it's red hot.

00:57:44.000 Tyler, he just sold his home and he said, Charlie, I've never seen the market so unbelievable.

00:57:49.000 So maybe you want to go buy a home.

00:57:51.000 Maybe they're taking advantage of low interest rates.

00:57:54.000 With all the economic uncertainty underway, people need to invest in real stuff.

00:57:59.000 So here's a rule of thumb.

00:58:01.000 We here are a solution-based show.

00:58:03.000 So if you don't like the woke nonsense, stop using the woke banks.

00:58:09.000 It's that simple.

00:58:10.000 No more Wells Fargo.

00:58:11.000 No more JP Morgan.

00:58:13.000 No more Goldman Sachs.

00:58:14.000 No more big bank culture.

00:58:17.000 Instead, I have these two great friends, and they do a great job.

00:58:21.000 It's Andrew and Todd, Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian.

00:58:24.000 They love the Lord.

00:58:25.000 They are Christians.

00:58:26.000 They are honest.

00:58:27.000 They are straight shooters.

00:58:28.000 And they are on a mission to make sure that you guys can refinance, but be told the truth.

00:58:33.000 Look, when I took out mortgages for the properties that I have, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever been through.

00:58:39.000 Yeah, some of the people were very nice, but I could tell you the bank itself was just so bureaucratic and hard to work with.

00:58:46.000 My producer, Andrew, is working right now with Andrew and Todd to fight against the woke banking culture.

00:58:52.000 And he tells me that they're part counselors, part financial counselors, planners, and they're really helping him.

00:58:57.000 So here's the thing.

00:58:58.000 Andrew and Todd are mortgage bankers.

00:59:00.000 They're not brokers.

00:59:01.000 That means Andrew and Todd and their team can take care of your loan personally from start to finish.

00:59:07.000 You'll likely actually talk to Andrew and Todd yourself.

00:59:10.000 So right now, maybe you're walking or you're like, I want to refinance the home or maybe I'm under the process.

00:59:14.000 Stop it.

00:59:15.000 No more Wells Fargo.

00:59:16.000 They're funding a billion dollars to BLM Incorporated.

00:59:18.000 It drives me nuts.

00:59:19.000 Bank of America shut off a U.S. Senate candidate who's running in Senate in Delaware to shut off their bank account.

00:59:25.000 Instead, let's support the good guys.

00:59:26.000 I know a lot of you right now say, Charlie, I want to support the good guys.

00:59:29.000 Let's do it together, okay?

00:59:31.000 So here's how you do it.

00:59:31.000 Go to AndrewandTodd.com.

00:59:33.000 That's pretty easy to remember, right?

00:59:34.000 Andrew, Todd, AndrewandTodd.com or call AAA 888 1172.

00:59:39.000 That's 888 888 1172 and say, hey, I want to talk to Andrew and Todd.

00:59:43.000 Charlie Kirk told me to call.

00:59:44.000 In fact, I just had this unbelievable meeting with them.

00:59:46.000 We talk theology.

00:59:47.000 We talk the church.

00:59:49.000 They're conservative.

00:59:50.000 They're unbelievable.

00:59:52.000 And all you have to do is call them up.

00:59:53.000 Just go to andrewandod.com, call 888, 888, 1172.

00:59:57.000 That's 888, 888, 1172, and say, Andrew or Todd, I would like to speak to you.

01:00:01.000 Charlie Kirk sent me.

01:00:02.000 And I'm telling you, you'll probably get them on the phone unless they're traveling or handling some crisis.

01:00:06.000 They take a lot of the phone calls themselves.

01:00:08.000 Great people.

01:00:08.000 AndrewandTodd.com.

01:00:10.000 No more woke banks.

01:00:11.000 Let's work together to crush the back of woke Wall Street and support the good guys.

01:00:16.000 AndrewandTodd.com.

01:00:20.000 Talking about January 6th.

01:00:21.000 I'm just going to touch on one final piece.

01:00:23.000 There was just this amazing piece that just came across the wire.

01:00:27.000 And I just, it was like on queue.

01:00:31.000 It just, it was too good to be true.

01:00:33.000 And it's White House.

01:00:36.000 There's a briefing that started while we've been on the show.

01:00:39.000 And Press Secretary Saki starts singing happy birthday to a Reuters reporter and then launched into a description of January 6th as quote, one of the darkest days in American history.

01:00:53.000 I mean, you cannot make this stuff up.

01:00:55.000 And I want to talk about the teachers' unions and CRT, and I'm going to get to that.

01:00:59.000 I don't have enough time because the show just goes so fast.

01:01:02.000 But the point is, this is hilarious.

01:01:03.000 Let's go ahead and play Cut 63.

01:01:06.000 Hi, everyone.

01:01:07.000 Hello.

01:01:07.000 Happy Thursday.

01:01:10.000 Is it Thursday?

01:01:11.000 I said happy Thursday.

01:01:13.000 Well, I was going to say, I did hear it was Steve Holland's 29th birthday.

01:01:17.000 So happy 29th birthday.

01:01:19.000 I'm a terrible singer, but I am willing to lead a song here if you are all game.

01:01:25.000 Who's with me?

01:01:25.000 Someone here has a good voice.

01:01:27.000 Happy birthday.

01:01:29.000 And then, folks, they sing happy birthday to this Reuters reporter.

01:01:34.000 And then she seriously, literally, next line, January 6th is one of the darkest days in American history.

01:01:41.000 I want to draw the comparison.

01:01:44.000 Now, imagine this. 1.00

01:01:44.000 There's a bunch of congresspeople, congressmen, and women. 1.00

01:01:48.000 I think it was both men and women.

01:01:49.000 It might have just been all men.

01:01:51.000 Practicing baseball.

01:01:52.000 Representative Steve Scalise gets shot, almost dies.

01:01:57.000 Many more are targeted by a Bernie Sanders supporter.

01:02:01.000 More congresspeople get shot, targeted, harassed, attacked at a baseball practice.

01:02:07.000 And we do not set up a commission.

01:02:10.000 We don't demonize Bernie Sanders.

01:02:13.000 None of that happens.

01:02:14.000 And yet, one person gets shot.

01:02:16.000 Her name's Ashley Babbitt.

01:02:18.000 They don't tell us who shot her.

01:02:19.000 We have to find out through real clear investigations today.

01:02:22.000 Good job for them.

01:02:26.000 And we've got this January 6th commission that was turning into a total partisan witch hunt again.

01:02:32.000 And thankfully, Minority Leader McCarthy has changed his tactics and he's actually going to put some real conservatives on that committee to push back.

01:02:41.000 But this is this crazy double standard that's driving so many of us absolutely nuts as we watch this unfold.

01:02:49.000 It's absolutely, absolutely hard to watch.

01:02:53.000 And if you just contrast this little kumbaya moment that press secretary Saki has with the White House Press Corps, and you contrast that to Kaylee McInady, who's a good friend of our show, and what she's had to go through, it's absolutely astounding and it's very, very, very hard to watch.

01:03:12.000 But yet, listen, we collect this stuff, so you guys don't have to.

01:03:15.000 Listen, we have been at the front lines of pushing for parents to get involved in the school boards, fighting back, fighting for integrity and transparency in our schools, government schools.

01:03:30.000 And frankly, folks, pull your kids out of these places, especially if you live in a blue district.

01:03:36.000 But nevertheless, Randy Weigarden, who is the president of one of the largest teachers' unions in the country, has doubled down.

01:03:44.000 They bring Ibram X. Kendi, the rock star academic, to go speak as their keynote at their conference.

01:03:50.000 Let's play Cut 59. 1.00

01:03:52.000 I'm going to explain what she does here. 1.00

01:03:54.000 Cut 59. 1.00

01:03:55.000 Critical race theory is not taught in elementary schools or middle schools or high schools.

01:04:05.000 But culture warriors are labeling any discussion of race, racism, or discrimination SCRT to try to make it toxic.

01:04:19.000 They are bullying teachers and trying to stop us from teaching students accurate history.

01:04:28.000 Ha ha!

01:04:29.000 Accurate history.

01:04:31.000 There is, I mean, that couldn't be any further from the truth, but this is what they're doing now.

01:04:37.000 They're moving the goalposts on us, and you need to keep your, you need to keep tabs on it.

01:04:43.000 From Katie Pavlich, oh, I see what they're doing here.

01:04:45.000 They're now rebranding and making it seem like critical race theory and common history are the same thing.

01:04:51.000 They're not.

01:04:51.000 This is not history.

01:04:53.000 This is anti-white racism.

01:04:55.000 Straight from the teachers' unions, folks.

01:04:58.000 We had to cover it.

01:04:59.000 It's Biden's America.

01:05:00.000 Racism abounds, and it's all at us and you.

01:05:07.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

01:05:09.000 That was really fun to be with you.
