00:00:45.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:52.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:03.000You know, this is one that's becoming very, very familiar.
00:02:05.000It's a story in a Wisconsin school where a parent has gone to court thanks to the good people at the Lions Defending Freedom.
00:02:11.000They stepped in and advocated on behalf of parents who say they don't think changing a child's gender or their pronouns at school is something that should be done in secret.
00:02:22.000So one mother sues, she wins in the appeals court, but a lot of schools are still not adhering to the court order.
00:02:29.000And so now it appears that this may go all the way to the Supreme Court.
00:02:32.000But it's that common theme, Charlie, of teachers and administrators in public schools continuing to keep secrets from parents with their kids.
00:02:42.000And until they're forced to by the courts, I don't know that some of them want to.
00:02:45.000Yeah, and it is, I don't want to overly politicize this, but let's just say the left or the cultural left, they seem intent on destroying parents' rights as we know it, whether it be transgender notification, pornography, and you know, in the curriculum or in the books that kids are learning.
00:03:03.000There is this ascendant parents movement.
00:03:06.000I know that Herzog is helping lead the charge on that.
00:03:10.000Just talk a little bit about this momentum we're seeing with the restoration of parents' rights and what Herzog is doing to help that.
00:03:17.000Yeah, we're just so thrilled to be a small part of it.
00:03:20.000I know you, and you mentioned with Turning Point Academy, you guys are leading the charge too.
00:03:25.000And what's so critical is parents need to know they're in the driver's seat.
00:03:29.000I'll be honest, for years as a parent, we sent our kids off to public school and I kind of deferred and I deferred.
00:03:36.000And it was really the COVID era where my wife and I kind of opened our eyes for the first time.
00:03:39.000I'm sorry to admit, but that's the truth.
00:03:40.000And I realized, oh, these people don't share my values as a parent.
00:03:44.000In fact, they're actually working to subvert them.
00:03:46.000And so, yes, we have tapped into Christian schools all over the country.
00:03:50.000We have launched a new effort this coming month with homeschool operation called HF Schoolbox.
00:03:56.000So, if you're interested in starting a private Christian school, if you're interested in investigating homeschool, the Herzog Foundation is dedicated to helping people start asking kind of fundamental questions, how to get started.
00:04:06.000If in fact it's a little intimidating and you've never thought about it before, we hope you'll come to the website at Herzogfoundation.com and start to investigate it.
00:05:36.000Am I being too kind of doom and gloom on government schools?
00:05:40.000I mean, we could fight, you know, this all we want, but at Herzog, you guys have this buffet line of options that is helping lead this education revolution.
00:05:52.000Yeah, Charlie, that's what's so exciting about there isn't a one-size-fits-all to education, but it does start with the parents controlling the terms of that education.
00:06:00.000So, you know, at homeschooling, I know you talk about this all the time on your show.
00:06:03.000Homeschool is becoming the fastest-growing form of education for kids in the country.
00:06:08.000In fact, it's growing the fastest in New York City, believe it or not.
00:06:13.000Private Christian schools that are established across the country, those are great.
00:06:17.000But if you're in a smaller community and you're thinking, you know what, we really don't have anything like that that services students in our community, you can start one.
00:06:24.000And at the Herzog Foundation, we have a very easy step-by-step guide on how you can start.
00:06:29.000It doesn't have to be a fortune either, Charlie.
00:06:31.000A lot of people think, well, that's fine for you if you have money.
00:06:36.000There are so many options now with micro schools and pod, what they call pod schools or pod learning.
00:06:42.000Basically, the reinvention of the one-room schoolhouse, Charlie, is becoming a collaborative effort with parents and communities.
00:06:48.000Or if you choose to just do it in your own home, it doesn't have to be a financial albatross to rescue your kids from the public school setting.
00:07:02.000And can you also talk, Chris, how this virus, this bacteria of anti-American woke education is also in private schools?
00:07:12.000I'm sure at Herzog, you guys see that, that the private institutions are not immune to this.
00:07:19.000Yeah, very proud of the work that the training side of this foundation does.
00:07:24.000You know, we spend much of the year, over 100 this year.
00:07:27.000We will conduct trainings all over the country on best practices for Christian schools, kingdom education, specifically focusing on Christian doctrine so that they don't stray.
00:07:39.000Even those that have Christian school atop their doorframe, you got to be careful because before you know it, they can go just as woke as any other public school.
00:07:48.000So at the foundation, best practices, getting kingdom education-based Christian schools together to learn from one another, to learn how to build a curriculum, stay true to that curriculum, keep boards and administrators honest and focused.
00:08:01.000It is critical as this movement grows.
00:08:04.000It's important not to water it down or compromise it.
00:08:20.000It's kind of before Drudge went off the rails, Charlie.
00:08:23.000This is kind of like a conservative version of Drudge, if you will, sort of a news aggregation site where we got a lot of headlines and a lot of great writers as well who write some great news on the culture on the courts on your kids state by state.
00:08:48.000Like I told you, we've been exploring Christian education for the first time in our lives.
00:08:52.000And she's a former public school teacher.
00:08:54.000So we bring on folks that are sort of like us that teach us about what they're doing in Christian education or how they have themselves made the leap.
00:09:02.000And these podcasts are just an encouragement for parents that are thinking about it.
00:09:06.000Chris, finally, what is giving you the most hope in this education revolution era that we are in?
00:09:12.000Things that you're seeing, stories, a story that you may want to share.
00:09:15.000What gives you the most hope right now?
00:09:19.000The absolute passion, the commitment and the love, the bursting at the seams momentum behind so many of these schools.
00:09:27.000Charlie, what we're seeing is capital campaigns now.
00:09:30.000You know, Christian schools that started with just, you know, five kids, 10 kids, maybe a dozen kids are now trying to figure out how to add wings onto their school.
00:09:39.000As I said, in New York City, when you see that they're the largest growth of homeschool in the country, what used to be relegated as something kind of fringe and they had to fight for the legal right to do 40 years ago, now the Washington Post is writing article after article how concerned they are that homeschool, heaven forbid, parents actually influence their kids' educations.
00:09:59.000So when the Washington Post is taking note that it's a trend, that's a very good sign for us.
00:10:21.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:10:25.000If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:10:34.000While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:11:00.000After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:11:07.000I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:11:10.000Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:11:13.000At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:11:18.000I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years.
00:11:20.000And since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.

00:12:16.000How deserted lies the city, once so full of people.
00:12:19.000How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations.
00:12:24.000She who was a queen among the provinces has now become a slave.
00:12:30.000That is the opening verse to the book of Lamentations.
00:12:36.000Not exactly a frequently quoted book of the Bible.
00:12:41.000It's a fascinating book of the Bible written by Jeremiah, where Jeremiah was literally lamenting over the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC.
00:12:55.000Jerusalem was this once great power, great city, and it was destroyed.
00:13:00.000God's chosen people were sent into the wilderness, not until King Cyrus, king of Persia, sent them back for the construction of the second temple.
00:13:09.000When you read the book of Lamentations, I can't help but feel as if I'm reading the news reports out of my home of Illinois, and of course, Chicago, Illinois.
00:13:23.000Jeremiah in the Book of Lamentations is mourning the loss of this great, decent, and powerful civilization.
00:13:35.000Amazing people, phenomenal infrastructure, once some of the greatest companies, centrally located.
00:13:43.000The people of Illinois, where I grew up, are very decent, hardworking people from all sorts of different walks of life, all across the world.
00:13:52.000The high school I went to was 53% English as a second language.
00:13:57.000Over 100 different countries represented where I went to at Wheeling High School.
00:14:24.000We can't allow ourselves to be captured by radical influences.
00:14:28.000The suburbs of Chicago, that was really kind of the, if there was a political orthodoxy, it would be moderate center right in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:14:39.000And the radicals in Illinois took advantage of that moderate disposition.
00:14:48.000They took advantage of the Midwestern nicety that found itself in Cook County, in Lake County, in DuPage County, in Will County, in McHenry County.
00:15:02.000Illinois, it's important to remember that in 1976, Illinois was a red state and Texas was a blue state.
00:15:09.000In 1976, at our bicentennial, the 200-year anniversary of America, Illinois was red, had more Republican governors than Democrat governors over the last 40 years.
00:15:22.000But it was always center-right, and it would never engage or tolerate such activity of defunding the police or reparations.
00:15:30.000And certainly, Illinois would never participate in kicking off a former president from being on their ballot.
00:15:42.000Illinois would never say that we're going to have a former president, whether we like him or not, not be allowed as a selection for our voters.
00:15:53.000Well, last evening, as I lament, as I do my best Jeremiah impersonation, last evening, Illinois, literally a traffic judge, a judge that basically deals in traffic court, booted Donald Trump off the ballot in Illinois.
00:16:14.000Now, thankfully, all of this is getting bundled into the Supreme Court case.
00:16:18.000So this likely has no sticking power and no staying power.
00:16:22.000However, it just makes me emphasize the point of a state like Illinois that used to be, by the way, one of the wealthiest, one of the most prosperous, one of the most flourishing.
00:17:14.000For Illinois, a judge to come out and say that Donald Trump is not allowed on the ballot, that we know better than you, we're going to choose for you the selections at your disposal.
00:17:29.000My lamentation continues over a state that I really love.
00:18:59.000Well, the committee was, you know, I was asked to speak on media and free speech and censorship.
00:19:04.000And I think I spoke for a lot of Americans.
00:19:06.000You know, people are tired of the tactics that have been used to not just silence people, but to destroy people, Charlie.
00:19:14.000I mean, they come after you all the time.
00:19:16.000You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:19:18.000And really, what I was hoping to do was shine a light on the system that we now have in place where the federal government hands out taxpayer money to NGOs who fund other NGOs who do things like suppressing free speech, all in the name, of course, of stopping the spread of misinformation or disinformation or protecting democracy.
00:19:40.000They mask their true intent with these lofty goals.
00:19:44.000They're in absolute violation of their 5013C status with the IRS every day, which says that they have to be non-partisan, but they're highly partisan and highly political.
00:19:54.000I mean, you couldn't get more political than these people.
00:20:02.000I mean, if there's a journalist out there that actually quotes Media Matters for America seriously and presents them as literally as being a watchdog, those people should be fired.
00:20:42.000We've got to keep everybody isolated in their bubbles.
00:20:45.000That's what they want because division is their goal.
00:20:48.000Keep us divided so that we can never unite.
00:20:52.000I mean, there is far more that unites people in this country than divides them.
00:20:57.000And our tax dollars do not need to be going to ideological zealots who are funding a radical agenda that the United States population has never voted on or never agreed on.
00:21:10.000So Laura, just kind of walk us through the technical nature of how our taxpayer dollars do get, I don't want to use the word laundered, but gets put through this, kind of get into some of the details.
00:21:27.000It is a good word to use because what happens is either through the State Department, through their Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, DLR, they'll hand out a grant to somebody like Humanists International, right?
00:21:41.000Humanists International, what do they believe?
00:21:55.000For those of you who don't know, which is just unbelievable, Marxists actually don't believe in God.
00:22:00.000They want the death of Christianity, shut down all the churches.
00:22:03.000There's no Christians in China that are allowed to, you know, walk the streets and live freely, right?
00:22:08.000So what they do is they send that money to someone like Humanist International, and they then fund through a network of maybe local NGOs, they fund an atheist network across Nepal whose job is what?
00:22:20.000It's not just to promote the ideals that they believe in.
00:22:24.000It's also to subvert that local government.
00:22:26.000So a classic example, why is Vladimir Putin?
00:22:29.000Okay, everybody loves to demonize Vladimir Putin.
00:22:32.000He's our favorite, you know, sort of evil guy.
00:22:36.000Okay, so why is Vladimir Putin making NGOs register in Russia?
00:22:41.000Well, because under the guise of protecting free speech or promoting democracy and all this other nonsense, these words that they use to hide behind, they are dividing the Orthodox Church and they are now supporting the breakaway Orthodox Church in Ukraine.
00:23:12.000I know this from people who've actually heard it from Vladimir Putin.
00:23:17.000So I don't believe that nonsense that I read on the internet.
00:23:20.000And so when you go into somebody's country and you start subverting their government in the name of democracy and human rights, they're not so stupid that they don't figure it out.
00:23:32.000And they're starting to take action against it.
00:23:34.000But you know who has been taken for a ride?
00:23:36.000The biggest right of all is the American people, because we are so stupid.
00:23:41.000This is a super PAC that General Stanley McChrystal was advising during COVID.
00:23:46.000You know, what did they say they were going to do?
00:23:48.000Take the sort of the tactics that were used against ISIS and against terrorism and use them against the American people to counter the disinformation of the Trump administration.
00:23:58.000Is that what they were paid, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars for by, say, the state government of Massachusetts?
00:24:05.000you know, where Stanley McChrystal was an advisor.
00:24:07.000Is that what they were using taxpayer dollars for to pay influences to come out and speak about Donald Trump?
00:24:15.000You know, I remember when I was doing the defeat the mandates marches, I remember that there were people, many remarkable people from, for example, the black community who were saying, you're taking our icons, you're taking our cultural icons, and you're misusing them, you're exploiting them, you're using them to push the vaccine.
00:24:34.000Remember that, Charlie, the days when the vaccine was going to save you from COVID, you weren't going to get it, you weren't going to spread it.
00:24:39.000It was a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
00:24:44.000Well, I just did this panel that you mentioned, you know, where you literally have doctor after doctor after doctor testifying that this is killing people, that the vaccine has killed people.
00:24:55.000It has made them young people infertile.
00:24:57.000It has increased the rates of myocarditis.
00:25:00.000I mean, there's a plethora of vaccine injuries now that they absolutely cannot deny.
00:25:06.000And yet there are still people going around in this country telling people to get boosted.
00:25:10.000And it's because of NGOs like First Facts USA that make sure that you don't ever hear the truth about the vaccine.
00:25:18.000So these people, you know, they have a lot to answer for in this country.
00:25:22.000They've been unaccountable for too long and they should be ashamed of themselves.
00:25:26.000But you can bet, you know, of course they're going to be coming for me in a big way.
00:25:29.000I know for doing this interview, for speaking at the Senate, they're going to come for me.
00:25:33.000If they don't come for you publicly, you know, they find another way to do it.
00:25:36.000They shut down your friends, your family.
00:25:39.000I mean, as I said in the Senate, in the Senate committee of Senator Ron Johnson, I said, this is how you murder a journalist without killing them.
00:25:48.000It's how you murder a doctor or a scientist or a nurse or an ER worker.
00:25:53.000Anybody who stands up and says, hey, wait a minute, isn't natural immunity the best protection you can have?
00:25:58.000Oh, no, no, no, no, we don't want that.
00:26:00.000We don't want anybody talking about natural immunity.
00:26:53.000Never going to be a blue wave in Texas.
00:26:55.000As, you know, as Trump once said, you've got a state that's against, you've got a party that's against God and against guns and against this country.
00:27:05.000They ain't coming to power in the state of Texas unless they cheat.
00:27:14.000Oh, Trump's going to, they don't succeed in keeping him off the primary ballot.
00:27:17.000If they don't succeed in keeping him off the ballots, if they don't succeed in putting him in prison, and they don't succeed in killing him, and there is actually an election, they're already starting the shaping operation.
00:27:46.000Sedition is really what that was under law.
00:27:49.000Well, Adam Schiff, you just roll him out there over and over and over again, the same face as John Brennan, Adam Schiff, James Clapper, to push the lie, push the lie, push the lie.
00:28:35.000And they're always wrong, almost always wrong.
00:28:38.000But I would say that what I do hear a lot from people in the intelligence community, what I hear a lot from people across the board, actually, is that they're very worried that there will be a false flag type of event where they just can't afford to have people go to the polls because most Americans are united on the border.
00:28:57.000They're disgusted by what they have to pay at the grocery store.
00:29:00.000They're disgusted that this administration has just opened up this border to criminals.
00:29:05.000They're disgusted with the law enforcement situation in so many states in this country.
00:29:10.000They're terrified of what's happening with the economy.
00:29:17.000The vast majority of people do not want these things.
00:29:21.000And so the great fear is that there won't be an election in November, that they will do something to justify the implementation of emergency powers or that they will steal the election once again, because the same people control the machines and it's the same machines that you're voting on.
00:29:37.000So, you know, it's very hard to see how a real vote has a chance in this country at this point.
00:29:52.000As you know, it's been effectively open for the last almost four years.
00:29:58.000The entire duration of the Biden administration is over 485,000 unaccompanied minors have crossed that border.
00:30:06.000And I, you know, I just, I can't say this often enough to people.
00:30:09.000If you're an unaccompanied minor coming here, the United States government made an exception to immigration law and allowed you entry so you could be reunited with your family.
00:30:20.000Why am I sitting down, Charlie, with whistleblowers like Tara Rodas and several others now?
00:30:44.000Never mind that this administration has lost track of 85,000 unaccompanied minors from the 2021 to 22 year, which, you know, they still have not been held to account for that.
00:30:57.000And you've got, when I talk to these whistleblowers, you've got kids going to addresses in Texas where 30 or 40 or 50 kids are going to the same address.
00:31:05.000Okay, it's pretty obvious they're not being sponsored by their family members, right, by their parents at that point.
00:31:10.000Or you've got three, four, five sponsors living at the same address.
00:31:14.000Well, again, it's obvious that that's not normal, right?
00:32:34.000And I'm not saying that's every single child.
00:32:36.000I'm just saying it's a part of the equation that nobody wants to talk about.
00:32:41.000So we have a significant problem, not just with the unaccompanied minors, but with all of the Chinese military-aged males that have come across the border, you know, over 100,000 of them.
00:32:52.000I mean, when you look at the figures in total, I mean, the Biden administration has admitted to over 9 million.
00:32:58.000That's what they've admitted to without the gotaway.
00:33:01.000I mean, how many more have gotten away?
00:33:04.000So this number is going to keep going up because the border is still open.
00:33:08.000And they can sing and they can dance and they can say whatever they want to about, well, whether the Republicans are preventing us.
00:33:18.000Biden has the power and the authority to change the policy because the only thing that changed from Trump to Biden was the policy.
00:33:25.000And they had, Biden brought open borders ideologues from the Open Society Foundations and brought three of them into his administration.
00:33:32.000He sent his emissaries out across Latin America, Jake Sullivan and another woman.
00:33:36.000They went telling the world that the border was going to be open.
00:33:39.000They have exactly what they want because they are instituting the globalist policy on migration that has made migration a human right.
00:33:48.000And they believe in the rights of man over the rights of God, the God-given rights.
00:33:53.000Oh, that's apparently Christian nationalists, right?
00:33:55.000That's another informational warfare operation is to paint anyone who believes in God or believes in their country as being some kind of, you know, psycho-freak, alt-right, nationalist, Nazi.
