00:00:00.000Today in the Charlie Kirk Show, Virginia, Virginia, Virginia.
00:00:03.000We go into the Virginia race and all the recent updates there.
00:00:06.000And just a reminder: don't know when you'll be listening to this episode, but we will be live streaming until there is a winner declared or there is some clarity.

00:00:15.000I want to thank all of you that are supporting our program generously at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:42.000And if you want to come to America Fest, December 18, 19, 2021, we have Tucker Carlson, Keely McEniny, Donald Trump Jr., Candace Owens, Ted Cruz, Jesse Waters, Rand Paul, and more.
00:00:53.000Phoenix, Arizona, December 18, 19, 2021.
00:01:44.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:13.000Terry McAuliffe was just going to waltz into reelection, kind of having to go through the motions, campaigning a little bit, not really having to persuade voters of anything significant, and getting comfortably reelected.
00:03:25.000Now, many of you know that Virginia has now become the new battleground state.
00:03:29.000Virginia, where Mitt Romney lost the state by four points in 2012, Donald Trump lost the state by five points in 2016.
00:03:39.000And Biden won, and I put one in air quotes, by 10 points in 2020.
00:03:47.000Virginia has become a blue state, not a purple state, a blue state.
00:03:52.000Governor Ralph Northam won by about eight points back in 2017.
00:03:57.000Remember Ralph Northam, where we couldn't determine if he was in blackface or the KKK hood?
00:04:03.000Virginia is the shelter, the refuge, and the home of America's ruling class.
00:04:10.000Virginia is home to the wealthiest counties in America, specifically Fairfax County and Loudoun County.
00:04:17.000With its proximity to Washington, D.C., it is a place where the lobbyists, the trial lawyers, the bureaucrats, the deep state agents are able to buy overly inflated real estate, send their kids to good schools, shop at the greatest places you can imagine, eat at the nicest restaurants.
00:04:33.000It's kind of this self-created bubble of government contractors and taxpayer money.
00:04:40.000And because of that, especially in federal elections, anything in suburban Virginia, Northern Virginia, I should say, unapologetically and unquestionably supports bigger government.
00:04:53.000Bigger government means more Dolce and Gabbana stores.
00:04:56.000Bigger government means more apartment complexes.
00:04:58.000Bigger government means more Tesla charging stations in Northern Virginia.
00:05:04.000And so Republicans struggled, and especially Donald Trump with his drain the swamp message, because the swamp is the ATM machine of Loudoun County and Fairfax, Virginia.
00:05:13.000Not to mention the hypersensitivity of the suburban voter in Northern Virginia, which made many people in kind of Arlington, Springfield, Ashburn, Leesburg, any one of these kinds of suburbs of Washington, D.C. very uncomfortable because they're a sensible people, you must understand.
00:05:33.000These are people that want to go to the Kennedy Center to go watch an opera.
00:05:37.000These are the people that want their children to go to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, or Stanford.
00:05:43.000And so Virginia looked like it was locked down.
00:05:45.000Now, there are three Democrat power sources in Virginia: Virginia Beach, Richmond, and the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
00:05:54.000Now, back 20 years ago, Virginia was a comfortably red state.
00:06:01.000Well, because the suburbs of Virginia were more Republican than they were Democrat.
00:06:07.000Republicans back then, during George W. Bush, were willing to wink and nod to the defense contractors, to the deep state bureaucrats.
00:06:13.000They were willing to give new government agencies increased funding, like Department of Homeland Security.
00:06:19.000Out in Langley, Virginia, the CIA, they were very pro-George W. Bush.
00:06:23.000The culture of ruling class Republicanism was embraced by Virginia.
00:06:27.000But as Republicans, especially when Obama took office, started to reassert a more grassroots middle-American agenda, the people that live close to the kingdom of Washington, D.C., and actually run the cartel in the country.
00:06:43.000We're now going to want to go to the side that butters our bread.
00:06:47.000And what we're seeing now is a massive upheaval that people on television, the smart people on CNN and MSNBC, I put that in quotes, and on cable television, they can't explain.
00:06:59.000Now, we don't know what's going to happen tonight.
00:07:01.000You better believe that there's going to be shenanigans, tomfoolery, and I don't even know if we are going to know a winner tonight.
00:07:07.000I do not know if we are going to know a winner tonight.
00:07:10.000Don't be surprised if there's a 3 a.m. vote dump.
00:07:12.000Don't be surprised if all of a sudden that you are going to see massive amounts of truck deliveries of monster energy drinks delivered to the voting place right now because they know they're going to pull an all-nighter.
00:07:25.000Don't be surprised if there's absentee mail in balloting.
00:07:28.000We're going to go through all of that happening in Virginia.
00:07:33.000But this is a legitimate battleground state where even Larry Sabado, who's been professionally wrong about so much, has put Virginia in a lean Republican direction.
00:07:47.000Now, the battleground of the battleground is, of course, Loudoun County, Virginia.
00:07:51.000Loudoun County, Virginia is one of the wealthiest counties in America and has been the centerpiece of moms and dads rising up and challenging the education complex and the education leviathan that has been dominating the raising of children for the last 10 years, especially in suburban Washington, D.C. and in Virginia.
00:08:18.000Virginia has become a place, not just the educational issue, but others, which is this, it is now a collision.
00:08:25.000It's a confrontation and it's a good one.
00:08:27.000On one side, you have the people who run the country.
00:08:30.000On the other side, the people who make the country run.
00:08:47.000He can call up Biden at any time and get his call answered.
00:08:50.000He is a trusted Democrat operative versus the people who make the country run: moms and dads, plumbers and electricians, carpenters, police officers, firefighters, everyday Americans.
00:09:01.000What you see in Virginia is an unintentional competition.
00:09:06.000It's an unintentional, full-front collision course of the two dynamics that we've seen unfold in other places.
00:09:16.000But now in a comfortable Democrat state like Virginia, you are seeing the people in charge and the people who actually give the mandate for people in charge.
00:09:26.000And as soon as Republicans started to play offense, this race completely and totally changed.
00:09:32.000Around early September, Yunkin just said all of his consultants, I'm going to lean in on the grassroots issues.
00:09:39.000And you started to see the sweat pour down the faces of these Republican consultants that only want to talk about property taxes and Chamber of Commerce issues.
00:09:51.000I'm going to represent the parents immediately.
00:09:55.000I'm going to represent the parents against the Loudoun County schools.
00:09:57.000I'm going to investigate the Loudoun County schools.
00:09:59.000And you started to see this become a legitimate battleground state.
00:10:01.000And then all of a sudden, you started to see the tables completely turn.
00:10:06.000This is the teacher union cartel versus the parents.
00:10:10.000This is the Ivory Tower coalition versus the citizens.
00:10:15.000This is the co-rulers, the citizens, versus the unelected bureaucrats that have shut down your schools, masked your children while they get to go to Obama's Vineyard, Martha's Vineyard party, because they're a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.
00:10:30.000What you're seeing in Virginia is a pressure cooker election.
00:10:34.000It's every single do as I say, but not as I do action.
00:10:43.000You want to do something really smart this month?
00:10:46.000I'm going to give you a life hack to cut your cell phone bill in half PeerTalk.
00:10:49.000Look, I know a lot of people are spending way too much on cell phones.
00:10:52.000In fact, some people are spending hundreds of dollars a month on cell phones.
00:12:29.000And I could tell you the people in Loudoun County, Virginia, they are showing up to the school board meetings, showing up and challenging the people in charge.
00:12:36.000And it started a political movement that could take back a deep blue state.
00:12:42.000And Terry McAuliffe, he did not have, he does not have the experience dealing with moms and dads rising up where his response to this only further accelerated the parent rebellion.
00:12:59.000When Terry McAuliffe was in a debate, he was talking about education and condescendingly said that, well, parents don't have a say in education.
00:13:56.000It's how many more betrayals, hypocrisies, double standards, doing one thing and then saying one thing and doing another are people going to tolerate.
00:14:06.000And then there's the ultimate volcanic eruption when you see in Loudoun County, Virginia, the covering up of the rape issue, the arresting of the father, the teaching of CRT, the declining enrollment, the criminal nature of Ziegler, who's the head of Loudoun County Public Schools there.
00:14:24.000And so many of these school board members, what do they do?
00:14:27.000They dispatch the National School Board Association to qualify and clear and try to organize these moms and dads as domestic terrorists.
00:14:36.000And then the Attorney General of the United States responds in kind a couple of days later, issuing a memo saying he wants to use the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Patriot Act potentially, to go after moms and dads that are complaining about what's happening in the school boards.
00:14:49.000It is the ultimate Barbara Streisand effect.
00:14:54.000We've talked about the Barbara Streisand effect, where she had a home that was photographed by some environmentalist group of the California coastline.
00:15:02.000Like six people visited the website to see her home.
00:15:04.000She then sues to try to get the picture off the internet.
00:15:08.000And then hundreds of thousands of people ended up looking at her home.
00:15:11.000So by trying to be bothered by the certain issue and getting rid of the issue, you actually make it a bigger issue altogether.
00:15:19.000So let's go through how we actually got here.
00:15:53.000We believe in family first raising of children.
00:15:56.000McAuliffe, being a disciple and an understudy of the Clinton machine, who was an understudy of Alinsky, they don't believe in the family first agenda.
00:16:28.000You do not want 25 parents picking books.
00:16:31.000And I'm not going to let parents come into schools.
00:16:33.000I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
00:16:42.000And this, again, is the deeper point that most people on television calling this race tonight are going to miss, which that this just so happened to be an accidental example, an accidental revealing of the true dynamics happening in the country.
00:17:42.000They exist to support local American farms to help you make great American meals.
00:17:47.000Together, they want you to restore the American ranch and your meals to their former glory.
00:17:52.000Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that can't be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.
00:17:58.000Goodranchers.com does an amazing job, everybody.
00:18:00.000Did you know the product of USA tag has been stolen by foreign countries?
00:18:04.000They process their meat here and label it like it came from America.
00:18:08.000Because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat, over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.
00:18:15.000Well, Good Ranchers has gone on a hunt and they have found the American meat, everybody.
00:18:20.000Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and farmers that work to raise the meat we eat.
00:18:25.000Look, when we get Good Ranchers sent to the office, it's a fight.
00:19:12.000Number three, you want to support the Charlie Kirk show.
00:19:13.000So in all seriousness, if you want to support the Charlie Kirk show, support the country and eat, well, then I have a trifecta for you right now.
00:21:25.000Terry McAuliffe says this: I will never allow school choice as governor.
00:21:29.000If you want to lose Hispanic families, and if you want to lose Asian families, and if you want to lose black families, say, I will never allow school choice to happen as governor.
00:21:40.000Now, basically, that was Terry McAuliffe saying: I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
00:21:46.000And Terry McAuliffe is best buddies with the head of the cartel herself, not El Chapo.
00:21:56.000Randy Weingarten is the head of the American Federation of Teachers, which is the education cartel.
00:22:03.000And so Randy Whitgarten came out and she now embraced and tweeted out that she said this is a great article or piece on parents' rights in public schools.
00:22:17.000The article says, quote, parents claim they have a right to shape their education and kids' curriculum.
00:22:25.000So for any parent or grandparent listening right now across the country, the stated position of the Democrat Party is you have no power.
00:22:31.000Sit down and give up all of your rights.
00:22:35.000Now, I am starting to see parents wake up, but we need more parents to wake up.
00:22:39.000Here's my question: I would love to hear from a parent, any parent across the country that's okay with this.
00:22:43.000Yeah, you know, it's okay if my kids don't share decent values.
00:22:48.000I'm just going to trust the Leviathan.
00:22:49.000I'm going to trust the state to do whatever they want whenever they want to do it.
00:22:53.000Now, thankfully, we still live in a country where this is a widely and incredibly unpopular position.
00:23:00.000Cut 36, lifelong Democrats in Virginia are explaining why they're supporting Yunkin for governor, schools, education.
00:23:10.000By the way, that is the number one issue I have to say that this show, The Charlie Kirk Show, has led on.
00:23:15.000We've talked about a lot of different things, but kind of our default issue that we talk about is the education of your children.
00:23:21.000It's my life's work at Turning Point USA, my short life's work in 10 years of where we've been talking about: are you sending your children to schools to be able to pass down your values?
00:24:09.000And I can tell you one school that has remained open, and I want to tell you about a partner of ours that I love, and they're phenomenal, that we partner with on a lot of different things, which is Hillsdale College.
00:24:19.000You should be worried about America's future.
00:24:22.000And times of trouble are full of reasons to despair, but they can also under we also in times of despair can know what we have to do our part to fix it.
00:24:32.000At Hillsdale College, it was founded in 1844 to teach these things and still teaches them today.
00:24:39.000The great news is that we can all study these things along with Hillsdale College professors right in our homes.
00:24:45.000Through Hillsdale College's free online courses, we can study the history of our civilization, the wisdom of ancient and Christian philosophers, and the writings of Shakespeare and Mark Twain.
00:24:54.000We can reacquaint ourselves with our Constitution.
00:24:57.000We can learn how the Constitution has been undermined and more importantly, how it can be recovered.
00:25:01.000I've been to Hillsdale College myself.
00:25:30.000We are in this fight together for family, faith, and freedom.
00:25:35.000And with Hillsdale's guidance, we need to save the greatest nation on earth.
00:25:39.000So go to charlieforhillsdale.com, charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:25:44.000Portions of the Charlie Kirk Show are brought to you proudly in part by Hillsdale College.
00:25:48.000Now, Terry McAuliffe, he has come out and he said, look, we have a great school system in Virginia.
00:25:54.000And he says, Dorothy and I, we've raised our five children, even though he sent four out of five of his kids to private school.
00:26:01.000And yet he says, I don't stand for school choice.
00:26:04.000Remember, the people that run the country versus the people that make the country run.
00:26:09.000The Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Terry McAuliffe, Bernie Sanders, they want to get rid of private jets while they fly in private jets.
00:26:15.000They want to have a borderless society while they live in walled compounds.
00:26:19.000They want to disarm the citizenry when they walk around with armed guards, and they want to get rid of school choice when they send their kids to private schools.
00:27:23.000Now, Terry McAuliffe hasn't received enough criticism for this story back from 2013.
00:27:31.000This should tell you everything you need to know about why he doesn't care about your kids because he doesn't even care about his own kids.
00:27:38.000Terry McAuliffe left his crying wife and baby in a car to go fundraise.
00:27:44.000This is from Breitbart.com eight years ago, where he even wrote in his own book, he said, Dorothy was starting to well up in the back seat.
00:27:53.000She was having trouble understanding how I could be taking my wife and newborn baby to a fundraiser on our way home from the hospital.
00:27:59.000We got to the dinner, and then by then by then, Dorothy was in tears.
00:28:04.000And I left her with Justin as I went inside.
00:28:14.000I was inside maybe 15 minutes, said a few nice things about Marty, and hurried back out to the car.
00:28:18.000I felt bad for Dorothy, but it was a million bucks to the Democrat Party.
00:28:21.000And by the time we got home and the kids had their new little brother in their arms, Dorothy was all smiles and we were one big happy family.
00:28:28.000Nobody ever said life with me was easy.
00:28:32.000But that wasn't the only time he ditched his wife.
00:28:35.000He continued by saying in his book, we got there a little afternoon and spent the whole afternoon in her room.
00:28:43.000I was trying hard not to appear restless, but I'm not one to sit long for long.
00:28:47.000And soon I was going stir crazy, which drove Dorothy nuts.
00:29:32.000I almost told her about that night I was born and how my mother wanted my father to stay at home to watch 30 Seconds over Tokyo, but I decided against it.
00:29:39.000I went back to the hospital after the Washington Post party around 3 o'clock in the morning, and little Sarah Swan McAuliffe was born.
00:29:49.000He prioritized the Democrat Party fundraiser and a Washington Post party over his wife at the hospital.
00:30:01.000He wrote about it voluntarily in his book.
00:30:04.000And he wants to be governor of Virginia.
00:30:06.000Anyone who abandons his pregnant wife in the hospital to go to a Washington Post party needs to go see a clinical psychiatrist and prescribe medication, not become governor of Virginia.
00:30:18.000Cut 30, Brianna, a Virginia mom who voted for Biden, slams Terry McAuliffe on education.
00:30:36.000So, what did you hear in that now infamous moment at the end of September where Terry McAuliffe said in a debate that I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach?
00:30:44.000That comment made parents realize that we need to stand up.
00:31:14.000And have you noticed something interesting?
00:31:15.000The more they bring Democrat surrogates, the worse their poll numbers do.
00:31:19.000There's been a direct correlation between Democrat surrogates coming into the state of Virginia and plummeting poll numbers.
00:31:26.000What does that say for Democrats moving forward?
00:31:29.000I want to talk about Biden's failing domestic policy agenda, thanks to Joe Manchin, who delivered a death blow to Biden's Build Back Better, multi-trillion dollar takeover of our country that will further put us into debt, engage in a long-term inflation cycle, and fund every single nonsensical program.
00:31:48.000You can imagine Joe Manchin said, nope, not going to happen.
00:31:53.000Now, not everyone's interested in precious metals, IRAs, or 401k rollovers.
00:31:57.000Some people are happily putting their life savings on the stock market.
00:32:00.000Some people are launching themselves into property investment.
00:32:03.000Charlie Kirk here, all that, what looks like the top of the market.
00:32:07.000What could possibly go wrong with the supply chain issues and inflation is here and also coming even more, unemployment climbing.
00:32:15.000And don't even get started about the $25 trillion of debt.
00:32:19.000If you've been thinking about investing safer, you can retire comfortably and sleep at night.
00:32:23.000It's time to talk to Noble Gold about the tax advantages and other pluses of precious metal IRAs.
00:32:28.000Of course, you might love uncertainty, but if you don't, this month, Noble Gold are giving away a free America, the beautiful solid silver five-ounce coin with any qualifying IRA you start.

00:32:57.000You know, we were just talking here about this metaverse deal.
00:33:02.000And I'm just going to make sure everyone's expectations are clear with this.
00:33:06.000They're going to create a new existence through this metaverse that within 10 years, there will be millions of people that put on Oculus goggles with meta or Facebook or whatever, and they live a majority of their day in a fake world with fake relationships, fake encounters.
00:33:20.000And they will say that it is, they're going to come up with a new word, not racist, but it's like what?
00:33:46.000Sims was a simulated world where people lived on, this was back when you had dial-up internet on, and you could have, it was like a disk that was just Sims.
00:33:56.000People would spend 10 hours a day on those things.
00:33:58.000And I think we've kind of seen the early stages of this through, remember Age of Empires?
00:34:55.000They are going to usher in a new globalist world where a majority of people are going to sit on a bed all day long with goggles on their face.
00:35:04.000And look, they realize they can't create utopia in God's universe, so they have to create their own with goggles on their face.
00:35:12.000I'm telling you, it's going to destroy humanity as we know it.
00:35:17.000And I just wish the Republican Party was even aware of this, but they're not.
00:35:20.000They're too busy talking about corporate tax cuts.
00:35:22.000One Republican that's been very good has been Junkin because he's actually talking about education and critical race theory and things that matter.
00:35:31.000Okay, I want to talk a little bit about Joe Manchin as we still enjoy our existence outside of the metaverse for now, where Joe Manchin basically torpedoed the Biden regime's legislative agenda yesterday.
00:35:42.000Joe Biden gave a press conference and he said that we need to slow down on the spending bill process.
00:35:48.000And he completely and totally obliterated Joe Biden's Build Back Better plan.
00:35:53.000Now, Joe Manchin, what was really interesting about this press conference is he was all alone.
00:35:58.000And you don't usually see these congressional press conferences that are all alone.
00:36:01.000And for all intents and purposes, Joe Manchin has just as much legislative power, if not more legislative power, than Joe Biden.
00:36:11.000He's like, yeah, I'm not going to go for this.
00:36:14.000And so ABC News says Manchin deals heavy new blow to Biden's hopes for social spending climate policy bill.
00:36:23.000So Joe Manchin completely undercut the Democrat legislative agenda.
00:36:27.000He's basically acting like the majority leader and the head of the entire Congress.
00:36:32.000Joe Manchin says that House Democrats should stop playing games with the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package and told progressive lawmakers in the lower chamber to, quote, hold the bill hostage, won't earn his support for the $1.75 trillion social spending package.
00:36:51.000He continues by saying that House progressives have repeatedly withheld support for the bipartisan infrastructure bill or BIF.
00:36:57.000And he says, quote, the political games have to stop.
00:37:01.000Twice now, the House has balked at the opportunity to send the BIF to our president, to the president.
00:37:08.000Manchin said, holding this bill hostage is not going to work and getting my support for the reconciliation bill.
