00:00:26.000 Hey everybody, parents are finally pushing back against critical race theory.
00:00:30.000 It's time for normal people to reclaim their government.
00:00:34.000 We have what it takes.
00:00:35.000 It's time for us to do it.
00:00:37.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:40.000 And if you want to support us, go to charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:42.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:44.000 Here we go.
00:00:45.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:46.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:48.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:52.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:55.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:56.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:57.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:04.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:06.000 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.
00:01:14.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:17.000 American Airlines is now effectively investigating one of their employees for doing something that we have been calling for people to do for quite some time.
00:01:37.000 So one of the things that I was hoping, hoping for and advocating for for quite some time was that parents are going to rise up and push back against critical race theory.
00:01:55.000 The sinister, insidious, dangerous, evil belief that has plagued schools across the country.
00:02:09.000 And it's starting to happen organically.
00:02:12.000 This is giving me hope.
00:02:13.000 This is some of the good news of what's happening in the country.
00:02:16.000 This is something where, you know, we spoke at our Freedom Square event at Dream City Church in Arizona, and I said that we need parents to start to show up to school board meetings.
00:02:25.000 In fact, I even said, once I get back, I'm going to start to show up the school board meetings across the country.
00:02:31.000 And this is starting to happen.
00:02:32.000 Parents are actually starting to wake up.
00:02:34.000 I am starting to see an organic, completely grassroots movement that is pushing back against the KKK literature that your children are learning from.
00:02:48.000 Cut one is parents in Loudoun County have been speaking out against reading these books that have been given to children.
00:02:55.000 So cut one, but this does not go without a cost.
00:03:01.000 Let's play cut one.
00:03:02.000 Jasper wasn't even my boyfriend, just this dude I did some hacking with once in a while.
00:03:07.000 He was pretty basic library systems, low security.
00:03:11.000 Not in my league at all, but he had a big and sometimes a girl just needs a big her top lip curled up.
00:03:18.000 Wait a minute.
00:03:19.000 Is that what's really going on?
00:03:22.000 She did your homework and you ate her?
00:03:25.000 Is that why you're crying?
00:03:27.000 It's okay.
00:03:28.000 It's cool.
00:03:29.000 This is what girls do at parties.
00:03:31.000 I told myself and kept dancing with the boy.
00:03:34.000 I couldn't see the alcohol making my waist wind faster.
00:03:38.000 If this is inappropriate for me to read to you, this is inappropriate for our children.
00:03:45.000 So, this one was more particularly parents in Loudoun County schools pushing back against the graphic sexual literature from the freshman English class that was being taught in Loudoun County, Virginia in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia.
00:04:00.000 Finally, parents are starting to read what their children are learning.
00:04:04.000 Finally.
00:04:06.000 And they say, but to kill a mockingbird is unacceptable because it engages in white saviorism, which is this idea that whites are going to be the saviors of blacks.
00:04:20.000 Okay, if that's now the new standard, then Black Lives Matter should refund all the contributions that they received from white liberals across the country.
00:04:28.000 Black Lives Matter should now refund every single contribution they got from corporations.
00:04:36.000 In fact, every single black student in the country should say that they are going to refund their scholarship unless it was funded by another black person.
00:04:46.000 In fact, every single black family that is getting taxpayer-funded assistance that might have been funded by a white person should refund it.
00:04:54.000 Is that the new standard now?
00:04:56.000 Because now they're teaching your children that literature that reinforces the white savior myth is dangerous.
00:05:03.000 You know, like Atticus Fish standing up, Atticus Finch standing up for Boo Radley.
00:05:12.000 That it's the white savior myth.
00:05:14.000 Okay, so let me get this straight.
00:05:16.000 When you stand up for what's right and you try to fight racism, you're actually being a racist because you're trying to save black people.
00:05:23.000 So is the new position of Black Lives Matter and BLM Incorporated they can save themselves?
00:05:29.000 I guess.
00:05:30.000 But this does not come without a cost.
00:05:34.000 We covered extensively on this program and also in some of our public speeches how in South Lake Texas, with over 70% support, the school board was taken back.
00:05:47.000 The school board was taken back by parents and was completely reshaped because of normal people standing up against critical race theory, being unafraid of being called the R-word.
00:06:09.000 But this is now coming at a cost.
00:06:12.000 Guy Midkiff of South Lake, Texas, is a pilot for American Airlines.
00:06:19.000 But American Airlines, which is now basically an arm of the Democrat Party, says it's investigating a Texas-based pilot who spoke against an effort by his local school district to implement elements of critical race theory.
00:06:36.000 American Airlines is now inserting themselves into local school board politics.
00:06:44.000 The South Lake Anti-Racism Coalition said to American Airlines, your employee has been harassing students and community members relentlessly for months for speaking out against the racism they experience in our town.
00:07:00.000 Right.
00:07:01.000 From targeting individual minors and accosting our organization, here are just some of the most recent unprofessional comments.
00:07:09.000 And there's really nothing here at all, of course.
00:07:14.000 But now American Airlines said in their official Twitter account, they're taking a closer look at this.
00:07:20.000 So now American Airlines does not have loyalty to their pilots or to their employees.
00:07:26.000 They have loyalty to some angry, baseless KKK organization that exists in South Lake, Texas.
00:07:38.000 So now every time that you go board American Airlines, You have to understand that you are now funding a Democrat super PAC.
00:07:49.000 You might as well write a check to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:07:56.000 Might as well.
00:07:58.000 You might as well just write a check to Chuck Schumer every time that you get on American Airlines.
00:08:04.000 Now, I know that a lot of you are going to email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:08:08.000 Well, Charlie, what do I do?
00:08:10.000 This is the tyranny of the framework that the Republican Party has created for us.
00:08:18.000 And I have just realized how we have just been so deceived, so tricked, so fooled.
00:08:26.000 And I'm talking about almost every Republican that elected office over the last 30 years.
00:08:33.000 They pandered to these corporations.
00:08:36.000 They cut their taxes.
00:08:37.000 They deregulated them.
00:08:39.000 They went to their cocktail parties.
00:08:40.000 They took their money for their campaigns.
00:08:44.000 And so, yes, you're right.
00:08:45.000 These airlines now dominate with only four or five options in the country.
00:08:54.000 And Republicans pandering to the interests of big business, trying to bring in cheap labor and cheap money and cheap products, now are aghast and stunned that the very same corporations that they carried the water for are now all of a sudden the enforcement arm of the Democrat Party.
00:09:16.000 Let me reiterate this: that American Airlines, a multi-billion dollar company that is tasked with transporting human beings, safely, hopefully, from JFK to LAX, is now involving themselves in a local school district race in South Lake Texas.
00:09:44.000 And Republicans are just so confused because they don't understand the nature of what we are dealing with.
00:09:52.000 They don't understand that we are not dealing with a Democrat Party of the 80s or 90s where we have this wonderful debate and dialogue.
00:09:59.000 No, this is something much different.
00:10:04.000 Look, for many of you that watch our live stream or our radio show, listen to our radio show, you know I talk about Relief Factor a lot.
00:10:11.000 And look, truth is, I know millions of people are in some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older, that can do it.
00:10:17.000 That's why I'm so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.
00:10:20.000 They are on a mission.
00:10:20.000 You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:23.000 Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.
00:10:30.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:10:31.000 So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:10:43.000 So go to relieffactor.com.
00:10:44.000 That's relieffactor.com.
00:10:46.000 The Talbots are amazing people.
00:10:47.000 Check it out.

00:10:51.000 I am given hope when parents start to rise up and take ownership of what their children are being taught.
00:10:57.000 This is something we've actually been pretty intense about the last couple months.
00:11:01.000 And finally, parents are starting to do this.
00:11:03.000 But this is all really built on what I consider to be one of the biggest lies of our country.
00:11:11.000 And it's a misunderstanding of history.
00:11:13.000 It's the 1619 Project propaganda.
00:11:16.000 It's during this entire alleged racial reckoning moment in our country that was only magnified because of the George Floyd situation.
00:11:31.000 And because we have not taught our children history, and quite honestly, most parents have been rather lazy and uninterested in teaching their children history.
00:11:40.000 They just don't know how.
00:11:42.000 We have allowed the entire premise of the founding of our country to be flawed.
00:11:47.000 And quite honestly, a couple of years ago, when I was doing my campus lectures, I even accepted the premise far too much.
00:11:54.000 If you go back to some of my campus lectures three or four years ago, I didn't really challenge this point.
00:12:01.000 I kind of said, yes, there was slavery, but look how much we've done since.
00:12:04.000 That is the wrong argument.
00:12:06.000 It is.
00:12:08.000 It almost accepts the premise that the founding fathers were slavery apologists, which is the absolute opposite of the truth.
00:12:16.000 It's not just a lie, it's an untruth, to use an Orwellian newspeak term.
00:12:22.000 That the founding fathers and the founding of America actually planted the seeds for the death of slavery in America.
00:12:29.000 James Madison, the father of the United States Constitution, famously said, quote, it would be wrong to admit that one man can own property in another man.
00:12:41.000 The founders were true defenders of eternal principles.
00:12:47.000 Do you know that George Washington famously said about slavery?
00:12:51.000 That he demands out of the people and the government of America a, quote, plan adopted for the abolition of slavery.
00:12:59.000 And George Washington freed his slaves before his death.
00:13:04.000 Here's a good question that you can ask some of your 1619 Project white liberal friends.
00:13:13.000 Where and when was the first anti-slavery convention ever held?
00:13:20.000 When was the first gathering of people who sought to abolish slavery?
00:13:26.000 Where was it held and when was it held?
00:13:29.000 Answer.
00:13:31.000 Philadelphia in 1775.
00:13:36.000 That's right.
00:13:37.000 In Philadelphia of 1775, before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, before the revolution was largely underway, the Quakers, with blacks present, founded the first ever Society for the Relief of Blacks Held in Bondage.
00:14:02.000 They used a different word, but I'm not going to use it on radio.
00:14:06.000 The first American society dedicated to the cause of abolition was founded on April 14th, 1775, before the Declaration of Independence.
00:14:16.000 Did you know that Benjamin Franklin became the president of the Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia?
00:14:26.000 That Benjamin Franklin served as the president seeking to abolish slavery, and yet they're trying to remove Benjamin Franklin's statue at the University of Pennsylvania.
00:14:41.000 America's founding made specific claims about human nature and power, and its guiding principles ended up being the fulfillment of why we abolished slavery.
00:14:59.000 And to say that the founding fathers were slavery apologists is a pathological lie.
00:15:04.000 There is not one piece of evidence in their private journals, their public speeches, or their actions that show that the founding fathers were trying to defend the institution of slavery.
00:15:18.000 And yet your children are being taught this in real time, and we are allowing our history and our culture to be abused, to be misrepresented.
00:15:31.000 Those that control the past control the present.
00:15:38.000 And those that control the present control the past.
00:15:44.000 George Orwell famously said that in 1984.
00:15:48.000 And so if we do not contest with every single tool at our disposal, why were we founded?
00:15:57.000 Who are we?
00:15:59.000 What is America?
00:16:01.000 And this is our home that is a beautiful, magical place.
00:16:07.000 And if the Republican Party is going to be the, well, we're not a racist country party.
00:16:11.000 No, no, we're the opposite of that.
00:16:13.000 We're not just not a racist country.
00:16:15.000 We're a benevolent country.
00:16:18.000 A moral country.
00:16:22.000 Ever wondered how free to access social media companies make all their money?
00:16:26.000 Well, by tracking your searches, video history, and everything you click on, and then by selling your valuable data.
00:16:32.000 But you don't have to give big tech website access to your data.
00:16:36.000 That's why I choose to protect my online activity by using ExpressVPN.
00:16:41.000 When I use ExpressVPN, I'm anonymized anytime I go online.
00:16:45.000 And your presence will be hidden, including your IP address.
00:16:49.000 That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.
00:16:53.000 What's even more is ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your data to protect you from eavesdroppers on your network.
00:16:59.000 And the ExpressVPN app couldn't be easier to use.

00:17:26.000 Abraham Lincoln, American principles are a standard maxim for a free society.
00:17:31.000 Every child should be taught that, but they're not.
00:17:34.000 Instead, it's the opposite.
00:17:36.000 The infiltration has gone largely unchallenged until now.
00:17:43.000 We're finally, we are starting to see parents, we're starting to see normal people stand up because our leaders have done nothing.
00:17:50.000 Now, I do want to give a shout out to the governor of Oklahoma.
00:17:54.000 The governor of Oklahoma has signed a total ban of critical race theory in the state of Oklahoma.
00:17:59.000 So if you are looking for someone to think, I encourage you to go to the governor of Oklahoma's website and thank him for not allowing critical race theory in the state of Oklahoma.
00:18:13.000 Cut 39, Chantel Cooper.
00:18:15.000 I saw her speech.
00:18:17.000 As soon as I saw it, I said, this is awesome.
00:18:20.000 This is what we need.
00:18:21.000 Every parent in the country should be raising attention, overthrowing tables, because your children are being taught to hate the country and hate themselves.
00:18:32.000 Cut 39.
00:18:33.000 CRT is not an honest dialogue is a tactic that was used by Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan on slavery very, many years ago to dumb down my ancestors so we could not think for ourselves.
00:18:43.000 CRT is racist.
00:18:44.000 It is abusive.
00:18:45.000 It discriminates against one's color.
00:18:47.000 Today, we don't need your agreement.
00:18:48.000 We want action in the backbone for what we asked for today, to ban CRT.
00:18:53.000 We don't want your political advertisement to divide our children or belittle them.
00:18:57.000 Think twice before you indoctrinate such racist theories.
00:19:00.000 You cannot tell me what is or is not racist.
00:19:02.000 Look at me.
00:19:04.000 A black woman passionately fighting for her children and our nation, standing up for what is right and what is good in the world.
00:19:14.000 She went on Tucker Carlson and said something very similar, Cut 36 of her on Tucker Carlson, CUT 36.
00:19:23.000 What made you do this?
00:19:25.000 So many parents have not done this.
00:19:27.000 You stood up there and did this on camera.
00:19:29.000 Why?
00:19:30.000 Well, it contradicts everything that Martin Luther King fought for.
00:19:34.000 It's hatred, Marxist ideology, and it places the child in a loophole of oppression, making them feel as a victim.
00:19:42.000 I can't stand for that.
00:19:43.000 You cannot further brotherhood of a man by encouraging class hatred.
00:19:51.000 Our Constitution is what unites us, not the color of our skin.
00:19:55.000 So America, it's just time for us to stand up for one another.
00:20:00.000 She has more wisdom than most people that I've seen that have fought on this issue.
00:20:06.000 And they're going to come after her.
00:20:07.000 I guarantee there'll be some journalist that follows her through the street.
00:20:09.000 Who cares?
00:20:11.000 And for those of you asking, emailing us freedom at charliekirk.com, and you're looking for someone to thank and you want some heroes in the fight, it's Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, who signed a ban of critical race theory.
00:20:24.000 We did an event in Oklahoma.
00:20:26.000 I had a chance to talk to Governor Stitt privately, and I am so pleased he did what he said he was going to do.
00:20:35.000 Unlike the governor of North Dakota, unlike other governors, Governor Stitt did the right thing, and he deserves to be thanked for that.
00:20:47.000 So the question is, will people start to rise up against this?
00:20:50.000 And what are we actually rising up against?
00:20:53.000 Well, it's very simple.
00:20:54.000 There is this American idea that how you look is irrelevant.
00:21:01.000 The rest of the world is perplexed by this idea.
00:21:06.000 And by the way, there's no guarantee this idea is going to work.
00:21:09.000 In fact, that moment in time that we had where we cared about character and not skin color, that moment might be ending.
00:21:17.000 We might be entering into a new bitter chapter of identity politics, the likes of which will tear us apart.
00:21:24.000 Where all of a sudden we're going to be so race conscious, and all of a sudden, you're going to see some very sinister, malevolent, and awful things happen as a result of that.
00:21:32.000 Real radicalism that will stun you.
00:21:37.000 But for those of us that actually care about our nation and care about our home, we're going to hold the line for as long as possible.
00:21:44.000 And we're going to put these people on defense for what they have been doing and teaching our children.
00:21:52.000 And we have to understand that republics, which is what we have, we're not a democracy, are historically very fragile.
00:21:59.000 Now, a democracy, as we've gone through many different times, is fundamentally different than a republic.
00:22:04.000 We had a whole conversation with Senator Mike Lee about this on our podcast.
00:22:07.000 I encourage you to check it out.
00:22:08.000 A republic is where there are very clear rules for legislators and for the governments that protect pre-existing natural rights, the existence to life, liberty, property, consciousness.
00:22:23.000 The Ninth Amendment being one of my favorite amendments, even though it is the place, I think it was Bork.
00:22:31.000 I could be wrong.
00:22:32.000 We can get a fact check on this, who said it was the ink blot on the Constitution.
00:22:37.000 I don't think it was that explicit, but the Ninth Amendment is one of my favorite amendments.
00:22:41.000 It actually is never used, but it's the amendment that says, hey, there are other rights that are articulated that are out there that are not necessarily articulated in the Constitution.
00:22:51.000 Now, what's a democracy?
00:22:52.000 It was Bork.
00:22:53.000 Ha, good.
00:22:54.000 I am a wealth of seemingly useless information until it becomes useful.
00:23:05.000 The idea of a democracy, of course, was tried by the Athenians, is almost destined to fail because eventually people will vote simply and primarily, not in their own best interest, but in their own pleasure.
00:23:22.000 It's a big difference.
00:23:24.000 Not to pursue virtue, but wherever it will give them a thrill or make them comfortable.
00:23:29.000 And democracy is not a rights-based system.
00:23:32.000 It's not.
00:23:33.000 So a republic, by a definition, is a rights-based system.
00:23:38.000 This is a hard thing, by the way, to preserve, because when you have rights that are protected more than anything else, like individual rights, you are going to have inequality.
00:23:50.000 You are going to have differences of outcome.
00:23:56.000 You are going to have some people succeed more than others.
00:23:59.000 Now, some of that, by the way, that we're seeing in real time, like Jeff Bezos buying a $500 million yacht, is a byproduct of not markets or individual liberty or rights, but pure and total corruption.
00:24:14.000 And if the conservative movement's going to stand for anything, is the conservative movement should do a press conference and invite Bernie Sanders to participate, saying the conservative movement does not think that it's a healthy or a good thing for our nation, for our country,
00:24:28.000 for our home, for our republic, for what we care about, to have one man be worth $165 billion to purchase a $500 million yacht while he pays very little in corporate income taxes and has a server company made to a package delivery company while he's propagandizing our nation on top of books that we can read, the type of information we can process.
00:24:49.000 That is not a conservative value.
00:24:51.000 That is a corporatist value, and it's a power-centric value.
00:24:56.000 Now, this type of language is very, it's very confusing to certain conservatives that have been in elected office for the last 20 years because like, well, who are we to say that Bezos shouldn't have $165 billion?
00:25:09.000 Bezos only has that money because he infringes on your rights.
00:25:13.000 And this is where the natural rights doctrine, I think, needs to be reconsidered by conservatives, where natural rights are worthy of protection, whether they are infringed upon by big government or big corporations or by big celebrities or by other individuals.
00:25:29.000 Now, some people say, well, they're a private company.
00:25:32.000 Spare me the swan song for Amazon as if they're the local baker or the local laundry shop, laundromat.
00:25:44.000 So the founders, and this is what we're really fighting right now with this critical race theory just garbage, they hated an absolute monarchy and an aristocracy.
00:25:54.000 Just read Federalist 10 or Federalist 51, which might be one of the greatest pieces of American literature.
00:26:01.000 I think it was Madison that wrote 51, either Madison or Hamilton.
00:26:06.000 51 is probably the most often cited.
00:26:10.000 And so the question is: if the founding fathers hated a monarchy and an aristocracy, 51 was Madison.
00:26:18.000 I was right.
00:26:22.000 Why is it that we should not challenge the current aristocracy and monarchy that we're living under?
00:26:29.000 If all men are created equal, which it says very simply in our founding documents, and we on this program take the position that the Declaration and the Constitution are married together, that I believe it was Abraham Lincoln that said it was the apple of it was the silver of which the apple, the frame of gold of which the we'll get the quote.
00:26:53.000 Connor will look it up.
00:26:54.000 It's a Lincoln quote about the frame of silver and gold.
00:26:56.000 Anyway, that the entire U.S. revolution, the United States Revolution, what made our world possible and it's now fragile, it's cracking in front of us.
00:27:07.000 I want you to think of this visual.
00:27:09.000 I want you to think that you are in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
00:27:15.000 If anyone's listening in the state of Wisconsin, give us an email, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:27:19.000 I love the state of Wisconsin as some of the greatest people on the planet live in Wisconsin.
00:27:24.000 Humble, hardworking, Midwestern patriots.
00:27:28.000 Love Wisconsin.
00:27:29.000 I want you to imagine you're in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and it's February.
00:27:32.000 For those of you that have grown up in the Midwest, you know this phenomenon.
00:27:36.000 And the entire lake is frozen.
00:27:39.000 In fact, when I was growing up, we used to drive up to a specific cabin, and the lake got so frozen you could drive our SUV onto the lake.
00:27:52.000 You could do ice fishing or whatever, but it was so thick, must have been two feet thick.
00:27:58.000 So I want you to imagine you're walking on this ice lake, and you're confident that it's going to hold.
00:28:07.000 And you're in the middle of the lake and it starts to crack around you.
00:28:11.000 And you know that if you make the wrong movement too quickly or too suddenly, you're going to end up in the water and possibly dead of hypothermia, suffocation, or both.
00:28:23.000 This, what we have right now, is incredibly fragile.
00:28:26.000 And the question should be, especially for those of us that care about the nation, not just about short-term profit maximization, not just about corporate boards, not just about country club invitations.
00:28:39.000 No, no, about the nation.
00:28:42.000 We're going to get into what a nation is because it's a very unique thing.
00:28:46.000 It's actually a biblical idea where it comes from.
00:28:51.000 Then we must understand that we should be opposed to the rights given to us naturally from all different vectors.
00:29:02.000 So have the American people truly consented to the current oligarchy that we're living under?
00:29:12.000 The ice is cracking underneath us.
00:29:15.000 For those of us that actually are aware, we see the fault lines.
00:29:19.000 We see it happening.
00:29:21.000 It's not too late.
00:29:23.000 It's not too late to handle this correctly.
00:29:29.000 But again, the Constitution sought to achieve a balance between the small things that matter and the big things that are necessary.
00:29:40.000 And that's what I want to explore with you in the next segment.
00:29:43.000 Email is freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:29:45.000 This idea of small and big, which should matter more right now.

00:31:09.000 The founding fathers valued things that were small.
00:31:13.000 Founding fathers valued things that mattered more than things that were necessary.
00:31:21.000 They valued the family.
00:31:22.000 They valued virtue.
00:31:24.000 They valued property, the farm.
00:31:27.000 They valued their children and they valued their nation.
00:31:33.000 You see, we've done the opposite now.
00:31:36.000 We are now crushing things that are small and that matter, like the family, our values, children, the church, to glorify this abstract thing that is very large.
00:31:51.000 Not just government, but it's this Leviathan is the word I'll use.
00:31:58.000 This all-encompassing beast that seems to be suffocating the decent because the indecent wish it to be so.
00:32:11.000 And what's so frustrating and perplexing and confusing about this is that there's a massive imbalance of the amount of people that are actually demanding this sort of action to happen, the people that are sitting idly by and the people it's happening to.
00:32:32.000 We are basically being governed by less than half of 1% of the country that is pathologically determined to remake America by the editing of our history, the changing of the Constitution, the stuffing of certain people down memory holes, and to put this belief that power is not a means, but power is an end.
00:32:58.000 We are living through a simulated designed struggle.
00:33:06.000 Again, this struggle is designed.
00:33:08.000 This is not one where we just stumbled backwards into.
00:33:12.000 This is not something that just escalated.
00:33:15.000 Everything that we are living through has been designed and simulated for the purpose of justifying more power.
00:33:24.000 We call this cancel culture at times.
00:33:27.000 We call this insanity.
00:33:29.000 And I think insanity is actually a pretty good word for it, but we use that term too much.
00:33:35.000 What I think that most people have to recognize and realize is that as the ice continues to crack under decent America, as our nation kind of struggles and grapples with this, the only hope we have, and it's the hope that Orwell wrote time and time again, again, so as you study 1984,
00:34:02.000 not just read it, but you study it, you could tell when Orwell is actually writing his own thoughts.
00:34:07.000 He was a Democrat socialist, but he hated totalitarianism.
00:34:10.000 Didn't quite understand how the two were tied together.
00:34:13.000 But the point that he kept on refraining time and time again, and it was a false hope in the book, was that the hope is in the proletariat.
00:34:23.000 The hope is in the proles.
00:34:24.000 If there's ever going to be something that changes the current tyranny that Winston was living under in 1984, it was going to be the plumbers and the welders and the parents and the normal people.
00:34:40.000 But the problem is that they don't know how or they're too busy with their own life.
00:34:46.000 And so as we're living through this orchestrated simulation, the theatrics of the left that preys on our worst impulses.
00:34:58.000 And as the woman Chantelle Cooper said, it's designed to divide us, but the division is only the means to the actual end, which is the power.
00:35:08.000 Which is to move people on other sides of the room, and they can come in, and all of a sudden they can justify the pure and simple redefinition of how they want us to live.
00:35:20.000 This is why they want vaccine passports.
00:35:21.000 This is why they can't let go of masks.
00:35:23.000 This is why they have a religious obsession with whether or not you have gone by the same health guidelines that they have gone through the last year.
00:35:31.000 Guess what?
00:35:32.000 We haven't.
00:35:33.000 And we've lived a wonderful life in the last year.
00:35:36.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
