00:00:48.000 Here we go.

00:00:49.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:51.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:53.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:56.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:00.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:01.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:02.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:10.000 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.

00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:23.000 We started this week in Dallas, and we went to Boise, Oklahoma City, Missouri.

00:01:29.000 And we will be speaking tonight in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky.

00:01:34.000 We are speaking to packed rooms, standing room only, young people, college students, high school students at Turning Point USA, about our country.

00:01:46.000 Where do we go from here?

00:01:48.000 Is there any good news out there to share?

00:01:51.000 There's a lot to be optimistic about.

00:01:51.000 And there is.

00:01:54.000 People are waking up.

00:01:55.000 People are engaged.

00:01:56.000 In fact, last evening in Springfield, Missouri, I think we had to turn people away.

00:02:00.000 It was unbelievable.

00:02:01.000 We had standing room only.

00:02:02.000 We had people at the back of the room, some phenomenal questions.

00:02:06.000 And I could tell you from Barnstorm of the country the last couple of days, the grassroots of the conservative movement is not given up.

00:02:15.000 They're engaged.

00:02:17.000 They're focused.

00:02:18.000 They understand the threats ahead of us.

00:02:19.000 And I can tell you that the top two issues facing the conservative movement right now are election integrity and election reform and big tech censorship.

00:02:30.000 Those are the two biggest issues.

00:02:32.000 At every single event that we have done, we get multiple questions about how we conduct our elections in our country.

00:02:40.000 Now, the Democrats, they're not trying to fix our elections.

00:02:45.000 They're trying to fix our elections.

00:02:49.000 Fix being put in quotation marks.

00:02:53.000 They're trying to make it so that every single human being gets automatically registered to vote, whether they're in prison, whether they're not a citizen of our country.

00:03:03.000 That's what they're going to try to do through HR1.

00:03:06.000 So that is what's happening in Congress is the exact opposite of actually what needs to be solved in our country.

00:03:13.000 And then, of course, as I mentioned, big tech censorship.

00:03:16.000 Young people in particular see that a small group of companies have way too much power.

00:03:22.000 They have too much power to influence the public narrative, the conversation, the dissemination of information, our capacity to communicate, to have dialogues with each other, to be able to process information as we know it.

00:03:36.000 And you look at this last election cycle.

00:03:40.000 You were not allowed to even spread, share, or sometimes even view a story on Twitter around Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.

00:03:52.000 Hunter Biden, where we actually came in contact with his laptop, we saw firsthand emails that Tony Bob Yelinski, a business partner with Joe Biden, who corroborated the 10% for the big man, that's Joe Biden.

00:04:10.000 Those are the top two issues facing the conservative movement.

00:04:14.000 And every single politician out there needs to have answers and solutions to both of those.

00:04:19.000 There's a lot happening in the country right now.

00:04:21.000 And I'll say the third biggest issue on top of that is immigration, both legal and illegal immigration, and the crisis happening on the southern border.

00:04:30.000 Let's go to Cut 51, Jen Saki, who is confronted about the Biden administration continuing to block press from viewing the border patrol facilities.

00:04:40.000 Cut 51.

00:04:41.000 Follow up on the question on the border.

00:04:44.000 The access being granted today for the pool is of a facility that is aspirational of where you want to move these children.

00:04:52.000 What about access to the facilities where there is overcrowding and there is an actual problem?

00:04:59.000 Why was this one chosen over those?

00:05:01.000 We're also open to providing access there.

00:05:03.000 And this is just the first step in the process of providing greater access to the media.

00:05:07.000 And when would that decision be made?

00:05:09.000 You said earlier this week that you would be working on access.

00:05:12.000 Is this the only access or will that be coming?

00:05:16.000 I would consider it's ongoing and we wanted to provide pool coverage, as you all know, who are in the television field of television that allows for a video camera to provide access to all the networks.

00:05:29.000 We felt that would be a good first step and we're looking forward to continuing to engage about how to provide increased access.

00:05:36.000 One of the least transparent administrations in American history.

00:05:40.000 Could you imagine if Kaylee McEnany, Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders would have given that answer?

00:05:44.000 Oh, yeah, we'll show it to you guys in due time.

00:05:46.000 I mean, you guys know what's happening.

00:05:47.000 That's the essence of what she's saying.

00:05:50.000 You remember the cover of Time magazine that had a picture of Donald Trump looking down at a two-year-old girl that said, welcome to America?

00:06:01.000 Now, the very same thing that outraged the left is happening right now in the southern border.

00:06:06.000 The media is actually starting to ask questions about this.

00:06:09.000 Because the media has to try to keep their profits stable with Donald Trump exiting center stage.

00:06:15.000 The media is trying to figure out a way forward.

00:06:18.000 Let's go to Cut 52.

00:06:19.000 It continues that dialogue.

00:06:21.000 Do you agree, though, that you've chosen the facility that is the aspirational facility as opposed to the problem at this moment?

00:06:29.000 Well, I would say we all agree that the Border Patrol facilities are not places where children should be.

00:06:36.000 Children should be moving more quickly through those facilities.

00:06:39.000 That is what our policy central focus is right now, as you know, Jeff.

00:06:43.000 And there are also, it's also becoming a public health concern because of the number of kids who are moving through those facilities and the fact.

00:06:52.000 Why not show those to the public?

00:06:54.000 We will, and we are working with the Border Patrol and with DHS to determine how we can do that.

00:07:00.000 This is not a set of circumstances that the Biden administration was prepared for.

00:07:06.000 You can tell Jensaki is a little bit taken off guard that the media is actually starting to ask very precise questions about their handling of the southern border crisis.

00:07:16.000 You notice that Jensaki said there, she said, oh, yeah, they have to move through the process so they can just gain access to America.

00:07:21.000 One of the biggest issues of what's happening on the southern border is that every person there in the southern border has been given an invitation to enter America.

00:07:30.000 We even have tape that shows that.

00:07:32.000 That someone was asked by ABC News, would you be coming here if it was not for Joe Biden?

00:07:37.000 They said, no, of course not.

00:07:38.000 Donald Trump fixed the border crisis.

00:07:41.000 And levels of crossing on the southern border are at historic levels.

00:07:46.000 Here's the tape.

00:07:46.000 Play tape.

00:07:47.000 You have tried to do this when Donald Trump was president.

00:07:51.000 Definitely not.

00:07:53.000 Definitely.

00:07:54.000 We had the chance.

00:07:55.000 You know, we used to watch the news, and I definitely won't do this.

00:08:01.000 So did you come here because Joe Biden was elected president?

00:08:05.000 Basically.

00:08:06.000 Basically.

00:08:08.000 I mean, she asks a very direct question.

00:08:10.000 Did you come here because Joe Biden was elected president?

00:08:13.000 Basically.

00:08:14.000 Basically. 0.97

00:08:15.000 That's Martha Radditz. 0.87

00:08:18.000 What's happening on the southern border? is not going to get better anytime soon.

00:08:24.000 Joe Biden is going to have to make a decision very soon whether he is going to admit to the American people that he does not believe in a southern border.

00:08:34.000 He believes it's merely a suggestion or a recommendation.

00:08:37.000 He does not believe in a border wall.

00:08:40.000 He does not believe in border security. 0.98

00:08:42.000 So as we are here right now, if this situation goes unchanged, and all indications point to that, we will have millions of illegals cross into our country in the coming years.

00:08:54.000 Millions. 0.99

00:08:55.000 And that's their goal.

00:08:56.000 In fact, the front page of Breitbart.com shows that 42 million people want to gain entry into the United States the next couple of years.

00:09:05.000 42 million people, and that's from Gallup.

00:09:08.000 42 million.

00:09:10.000 The CEO of Gallup posted a friendly warning for President Joe Biden.

00:09:15.000 Roughly 42 million south of Texas want to migrate into the United States.

00:09:20.000 Basically, an entire civilization wants to come into America.

00:09:24.000 And the Democrats are perfectly fine with this.

00:09:27.000 The Democrats know that if that happens, they can remake America in their image.

00:09:33.000 Jim Clifton, the chairman and CEO of the Gallup Polling Company, posted the warning March 24th as Biden struggles to deal with the migration wave unleashed by him and his pro-migration deputies.

00:09:45.000 This will change America forever.

00:09:50.000 Do you know how much you need to save to have a comfortable retirement?

00:09:54.000 The average retirement savings for families across the country is $255,000.

00:09:59.000 If you are using these averages as a goal for your retirement, let me be blunt.

00:10:03.000 You are not on the right track.

00:10:04.000 Even $1 million will not be enough by the time you retire because of inflation.

00:10:08.000 Retirement is not one size fits all.

00:10:10.000 How much should you save depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to pursue after retirement.

00:10:14.000 But remember that inflation should be factored in.

00:10:16.000 The $1 million you saved 40 years ago is worth less than half now.

00:10:20.000 So invest in assets that store the value of your investment.

00:10:24.000 That's the key to diversifying your portfolio.

00:10:26.000 And there's nothing better than gold.

00:10:28.000 I'm a big believer in this.

00:10:30.000 Do you know that if you invested $1 million in gold 40 years ago, you'd be sitting on $50 million today?

00:10:35.000 That could afford any lifestyle you want right now.

00:10:37.000 I know you've got questions, and Noble Gold is trustworthy resource for answers.

00:10:41.000 Contact a Noble Gold representative to learn more about making saving a priority.

00:10:45.000 If you didn't start early, it's okay.

00:10:53.000 Governor Ron DeSantis continues to be a phenomenal leader, and other governors are taking notice.

00:10:59.000 I spoke to a couple governors in recent days, and they're going to start to follow the lead of Governor Ron DeSantis.

00:11:05.000 We've talked about critical race theory and the woke industrial complex many times here on this program.

00:11:10.000 In fact, at our events at Turning Point USA the last couple days, people are very interested in this topic.

00:11:17.000 They see it in their curriculum.

00:11:19.000 They see it in their schools.

00:11:20.000 They see it in everything that they come in contact with.

00:11:25.000 So let's play tape here.

00:11:26.000 Ron DeSantis, who is talking about the importance of revamping all school curriculum to teach the true history of our country without critical race theory.

00:11:36.000 Play tape.

00:11:37.000 I do think we need to rediscover in our K through 12 system the founding of the country.

00:11:43.000 What makes the country unique?

00:11:45.000 Constitution, our founding fathers, some of the great figures throughout our history, whether it's a Lincoln or an MLK or a Reagan winning the Cold War.

00:11:54.000 But when you do that, it's got to be true and solid and factual.

00:11:58.000 And you can't let it become infected with left-wing ideology like critical race theory.

00:12:03.000 Critical race theory is basically teaching people to hate our country, hate each other.

00:12:08.000 It's divisive, and it's basically an identity politics version of Marxism.

00:12:13.000 So I don't think it has any place in the classroom, certainly shouldn't be funded by tax dollars.

00:12:18.000 So as we're doing this bold civics initiative, which is important, I think people like that, but I think a lot of people look at it and say, well, okay, they better be teaching the right stuff.

00:12:27.000 So we're going to have a depoliticized curriculum.

00:12:30.000 We're not going to let that stuff in there.

00:12:32.000 And I think that that's going to serve students well in the state of Florida for years to come.

00:12:36.000 Depoliticized curriculum.

00:12:38.000 Now, mind you, Governor Ron DeSantis is saying that as he represents one of the most diverse states in the country.

00:12:46.000 That's amazing when you look at it.

00:12:48.000 And Ron DeSantis and his approval ratings continue to go up.

00:12:53.000 He is taking a stand against the ideology that is infecting every major institution in our country.

00:13:02.000 That's what courage looks like.

00:13:04.000 You know, I had somebody ask me that at our campus stop a couple days ago.

00:13:07.000 They said, Charlie, what is courage?

00:13:09.000 Courage is doing the right thing when you do not know the end result.

00:13:14.000 It's the eighth most diverse state.

00:13:16.000 That's top 10.

00:13:17.000 Top 10.

00:13:18.000 That's still a big deal.

00:13:20.000 That the governor of the eighth most diverse state in the country, racially diverse state, is taking a stand against critical race theory.

00:13:27.000 And then all the expected people in the chattering class are coming up against Governor Ron DeSantis and calling him a bigot and a racist, when in reality, it's the opposite of that. 0.59

00:13:36.000 This is a winning issue for Republicans.

00:13:39.000 The more parents and moms learn about what critical race theory actually is, the less they want it in their schools and the more they want their leaders to stand up against it.

00:13:50.000 Critical race theory teaches your children that America is inherently racist.

00:13:55.000 In fact, every one of these speeches I'm giving, I'm trying to give a little bit of a different speech tonight.

00:14:00.000 My speech will be five lies you are taught about America.

00:14:03.000 That's going to be the, I mean, we're going to go in other directions as well, but that's going to be the essence of my speech.

00:14:07.000 The five biggest lies taught about America.

00:14:10.000 And one of them is that America was founded on slavery, not freedom.

00:14:14.000 America was founded on freedom, not slavery.

00:14:16.000 We're going to prove that tonight.

00:14:17.000 The other one, that America's a racist country.

00:14:20.000 We're going to walk through these lies, and we need to do that deliberately.

00:14:25.000 And I find inspiration from Ron DeSantis and his courage.

00:14:28.000 There he is going on cable television saying, we need to rediscover the heroism of the founding fathers.

00:14:34.000 Where's that been from our leaders the last year as monuments are taken down, as buildings are renamed?

00:14:40.000 And generally, Republicans have talked a good game on this.

00:14:43.000 But Ron DeSantis has something to lose, and he continues to do the right thing.

00:14:48.000 That's what courage looks like.

00:14:50.000 Get involved in your school board races, in your textbook curriculum, and ask questions: is critical race theory and this wokeism being taught to my children?

00:15:00.000 And if it is, I'm not going to tolerate it.

00:15:03.000 In the next segment, we're going to talk about another lie that is taught to our young people, which is the gender-wage pay gap with Megan Rapineau, a soccer star who visited Joe Biden and had nothing good to say about our country, despite being our country being very good to her.

00:15:22.000 And it's another lie that our young people are taught quite often, which is that women earn dramatically less than men.

00:15:30.000 It's the gender-wage pay gap.

00:15:32.000 We've not talked about this in quite some time here on the Charlie Kirk Show, but we're going to get right into it and tell you the truth.

00:15:38.000 In fact, that was one of our first episodes ever.

00:15:41.000 Megan Rapineau, who is a soccer player, pretty talented one. 1.00

00:15:46.000 And so she's an activist.

00:15:48.000 She has never had anything nice to say about America.

00:15:51.000 And she had a summit with Joe Biden.

00:15:53.000 And here's what she had to say.

00:15:55.000 Play tape.

00:15:57.000 Win four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals for the United States.

00:16:02.000 And despite those wins, I've been devalued.

00:16:06.000 I've been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman.

00:16:11.000 And I've been told that I don't deserve any more than less because I am a woman.

00:16:18.000 You see, despite all the wins, I'm still paid less than men who do the same job that I do.

00:16:26.000 Okay.

00:16:27.000 First of all, let's get into this. 1.00

00:16:29.000 Megan Rapineau says that she does the same job that men do. 0.77

00:16:33.000 That's not true.

00:16:34.000 Men are competing at a higher athletic level than Megan Rapineau.

00:16:38.000 People like watching men's sports more than women's sports, including me.

00:16:45.000 My fiancé was a woman college basketball player. 0.96

00:16:49.000 I have a lot of respect for women that play in sports. 0.95

00:16:51.000 I think women's sports should be protected, not obliterated.

00:16:54.000 But men's sports are far more popular.

00:16:56.000 Why?

00:16:57.000 Well, because men are more athletic.

00:16:58.000 They have higher levels of testosterone.

00:17:00.000 They have more muscle mass.

00:17:01.000 They tend to be bigger.

00:17:04.000 And therefore, they're able to achieve a level of play, whether it be soccer, basketball, baseball, that is at a higher level of athletic excellence.

00:17:13.000 Therefore, for a viewer, that is more enjoyable to watch.

00:17:17.000 It's as if you were saying, Charlie, do you enjoy watching high school basketball?

00:17:21.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:17:21.000 I like if I know who's playing and if it's at a high level, but I'm not going to go watch high school basketball on television unless it's a top recruit.

00:17:28.000 The sport just moves too slow.

00:17:31.000 The shooting percentages are low.

00:17:33.000 And so Megan Rapineau is lying to you.

00:17:36.000 First of all, no one has devalued or disrespected or dismissed her.

00:17:39.000 We were all cheering for her and her team to go win the World Cup and win a gold medal.

00:17:45.000 Who is actually dismissing or devaluing you?

00:17:48.000 And so what she's really trying to say is that I'm a woman who plays in a sport that's not as popular as men, and it's a different sport.

00:17:57.000 It might be a similar activity, but men's sports is different than women's sports.

00:18:03.000 This is something that drives the left absolutely insane. 1.00

00:18:05.000 And she says that she was paid less because she's a woman.

00:18:09.000 So I'm just going to venture a guess here.

00:18:11.000 I have no, and producer Andrew's right here, that women's beach volleyball is more popular than men's beach volleyball.

00:18:18.000 Just probably a guess.

00:18:19.000 I could be wrong. 1.00

00:18:21.000 There are certain things that women get paid more for in athletics. 1.00

00:18:25.000 It's not because you're a woman, Megan. 0.72

00:18:27.000 It's because your fellow athletes are not as athletic as men.

00:18:31.000 Therefore, it's not as enjoyable to watch.

00:18:33.000 Sorry.

00:18:34.000 It's a little bit slower.

00:18:35.000 Don't score as much.

00:18:37.000 And I don't like soccer that much anyway.

00:18:39.000 I watch the World Cup every four years.

00:18:41.000 Now, everything I'm saying is totally politically incorrect. 1.00

00:18:44.000 It's a political incorrect fly zone, which is exactly why it must be talked about because Megan Rapineau is lying to you. 1.00

00:18:50.000 First of all, she's made tons of money. 1.00

00:18:52.000 She's a multi-millionaire, and she's on the cover of every magazine. 1.00

00:18:55.000 She signs endorsement deals. 1.00

00:18:57.000 And we have to act as if she's a victim because she's a world champion and Olympic gold medalist. 0.96

00:19:02.000 But this is exactly what the left does: they play the oppression Olympics.

00:19:08.000 Feel sorry for me because I'm a woman. 0.99

00:19:10.000 But then I asked the question: what is a woman anyway? 0.99

00:19:12.000 I thought that men and women don't exist.

00:19:14.000 I thought gender was non-binary and you could shift between the two genders.

00:19:19.000 This goes to a deeper point, though, that Megan Rapineau is lying about, which is the gender-wage pay gap.

00:19:26.000 Now, if we had a responsible media in our country, they would tell you the truth about this, but we don't.

00:19:32.000 Do you know that women in their early 20s are out-earning men in their early 20s?

00:19:37.000 This is according to Fortune magazine by Valentina Zaaria.

00:19:43.000 The average wage gap between men and women for women in their 20s actually favors young women.

00:19:52.000 So the sloppy statistic that is used quite often is that men earn 21% more than women.

00:20:00.000 Do you know that doesn't count or factor in education, degree selection, how long they've been in the workforce?

00:20:06.000 When those things are factored in, the wage gap nearly disappears. 0.99

00:20:10.000 In fact, women outearn men.

00:20:12.000 There's also some other reasons that play into this. 1.00

00:20:14.000 Women are less likely to ask for a raise from their boss. 0.95

00:20:17.000 And women make a decision in their late 20s and early 30s to voluntarily exit the workforce to go have children. 0.95

00:20:23.000 That's when the most promotions and raises happen when you're trying to climb the corporate ladder or trying to build a business or when you're trying to hit that inflection point, late 20s, early 30s.

00:20:35.000 That's when your career is at its most consequential point, where you have five or six years under your belt.

00:20:41.000 You have a lot of energy.

00:20:42.000 You have a lot of aspiration.

00:20:43.000 You have a lot of drive. 0.98

00:20:44.000 And women voluntarily get out of the workforce to have children. 1.00

00:20:47.000 And that's a good thing.

00:20:48.000 But then a lot of those women will re-enter the workforce when they're 36 and 37, 38, and they'll look at their fellow workmates who are men that a decade ago they were at the same level at, and all of a sudden they're CEO and they say, oh, it's because of sexism that he's a CE.

00:21:02.000 No, you left the workforce.

00:21:03.000 In fact, the women that stay in the workforce and decide not to have children, they actually do better than men.

00:21:09.000 They're very unhappy because they have a biological reason to have children. 0.62

00:21:14.000 That's Jordan Peterson's argument for media matters that might try to misrepresent what I'm saying, but it's true.

00:21:19.000 Clinical data shows that.

00:21:20.000 Psychological data shows that there is a biological drive to have children.

00:21:25.000 Now, there's obviously exceptions, producer Andrew is saying to me.

00:21:29.000 If you look into this as well, do you know that there are seven places where women earn more than men?

00:21:34.000 Should we close this gap?

00:21:36.000 Do you know that in Shambly, Georgia, women earn more than men?

00:21:39.000 Lake Worth, Florida, women earn more than men.

00:21:41.000 Plainfield, New Jersey, women earn more than men.

00:21:43.000 Trenton, New Jersey, women earn more than men.

00:21:45.000 Inglewood, California, the village of Hempstead, New York, and Prince George County, Maryland, women earn more than men.

00:21:52.000 So there's plenty of places across the country where this wage gap does not exist.

00:21:56.000 According to USA Today by Amy Pitchy, this was three weeks ago. 1.00

00:22:02.000 More women are now out earning their husbands.

00:22:05.000 USA Today, this was three weeks ago this was published.

00:22:08.000 With women now comprising more than half the U.S. workforce, it's perhaps no surprise that another seismic shift is happening in American homes.

00:22:15.000 A growing share of women are now the family's breadwinners.

00:22:18.000 So International Women's Day was March 8th, and Megan Rapineau is trying to convince you that women are not able to earn the same as men in our country.

00:22:26.000 The wage gap is a complete and total lie.

00:22:29.000 Do you know that women are more likely to study degrees in college that do not result in high wage earning long term?

00:22:34.000 For example, elementary education, psychology and communications.

00:22:38.000 Men are more likely to study business, finance, technology, engineering, and math, which have a higher likelihood of long-term wage growth and career development.

00:22:49.000 You look at the top five majors, high-income majors, meaning degrees that have the highest likelihood of you producing a high wage long term.

00:23:00.000 Men dominate those by almost 80%.

00:23:04.000 By almost 80%, they dominate those. 0.97

00:23:06.000 Actually, let's go to Cut 63. 0.89

00:23:07.000 This is Joe Biden saying women can do anything a man can do, if not better.

00:23:10.000 Cut 63.

00:23:12.000 There's not a single thing a man can do that a woman can't do as well or better. 0.98

00:23:17.000 Not a single thing. 1.00

00:23:19.000 Okay, so that is what is called an overgeneralization. 0.99

00:23:23.000 I think women are better at a lot of things than men. 0.98

00:23:25.000 I think women are better listeners.

00:23:27.000 I think women are better at reading people.

00:23:29.000 I think women are better at raising children than men.

00:23:33.000 I think that women are a lot more careful than men.

00:23:36.000 They're less likely to get in car accidents, less likely to declare bankruptcy. 1.00

00:23:39.000 They make better students because our entire education system is feminized. 0.55

00:23:42.000 But I also think that men are better at some things than women. 0.76

00:23:45.000 For example, being a lumberjack, just very physically intensive. 0.55

00:23:50.000 It is.

00:23:50.000 You know, it's actually one of the most dangerous professions in the country.

00:23:53.000 I mean this with no kidding. 1.00

00:23:55.000 Being a lobsterman is something that I think men are better than women. 1.00

00:24:00.000 That is no joke, by the way.

00:24:01.000 You go spend time in Maine with lobstermen.

00:24:04.000 You want to talk about guys that work 20-hour days.

00:24:07.000 In fact, a lot of those people get into cocaine and they get into heroin because it's so incredibly encompassing.

00:24:14.000 There are some things that men are better at than women, and there are some things that women are better at than men, which is so funny to hear Joe Biden even use the term men and women.

00:24:22.000 So I thought it was sexist to say that.

00:24:24.000 No, I thought that it was, I thought you're not even allowed to categorize people.

00:24:28.000 What is gender, by the way? 0.87

00:24:29.000 Anyone can, we have a man who thinks he's a woman who's our new health and human secretary, assistant of health and human secretary.

00:24:35.000 We're getting some compliments here.

00:24:36.000 People emailing me at freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:24:38.000 They love the political, correct, no-fly zone.

00:24:40.000 So we just go right into it.

00:24:42.000 This is the sort of conversations we need to have in our country. 1.00

00:24:44.000 And so, and by the way, Joe Biden, if women can do everything that men can do, why don't you step down and allow your woman vice president to govern the country? 1.00

00:24:52.000 What are you? 1.00

00:24:53.000 Some sort of bigoted sexist? 0.97

00:24:55.000 They're going to use all this stuff against him eventually. 0.94

00:24:56.000 Just wait.

00:24:57.000 Wait till Joe Biden gets robe speared.

00:25:00.000 Just wait.

00:25:02.000 And they might not know what that is.

00:25:03.000 French Revolution, Jacobins, the guy who led it, who actually invented the guillotine, a guy named Robe Speer.

00:25:10.000 He was eventually killed by the beast that he created, which was the French Revolution mob.

00:25:15.000 They cut his head off with a guillotine and they cheered for 10 minutes after they did that. 0.85

00:25:22.000 When the left creates a beast, that beast will eventually devour you. 0.96

00:25:27.000 So Megan Rapineau is an ungrateful activist. 1.00

00:25:31.000 She's always so angry. 0.97

00:25:33.000 You're a multi-millionaire. 1.00

00:25:36.000 Yeah, she's got the pink hair. 1.00

00:25:38.000 Whatever. 1.00

00:25:38.000 Fine. 1.00

00:25:38.000 She just looks like she's right off of Berkeley. 1.00

00:25:40.000 But instead, Megan Rapineau's position should be this.

00:25:43.000 And this is the solution to this.

00:25:44.000 This is what bothers me.

00:25:45.000 Megan Rapineau should be saying, you know what?

00:25:47.000 I've dealt with some tough times, but I'm here to tell you that I'm a victor, not a victim, that I overcame my circumstances and I competed on the world stage.

00:25:56.000 That I believe in this country.

00:25:58.000 That when we were in Japan, when we were competing overseas, this country rallied behind the women's soccer team, which is true.

00:26:04.000 I was cheering for them, even though I hated their politics.

00:26:07.000 And while there are some things that we need to improve upon, while there are some things that we need to maybe get better at, I'm not going to spend my time or my attention or my platform to try to tell young women you can't succeed.

00:26:19.000 Because guess what, Megan Rapineau?

00:26:21.000 You're doing the LeBron James thing now.

00:26:23.000 The only difference is you're doing it for women, that he does it for black people.

00:26:26.000 Somehow that you're trying to convince people that you can't convince in the country, that you're trying to convince people that you can't succeed in the country, even though you yourself have succeeded at such an incredible level. 0.79

00:26:36.000 So which is it, Megan Rapineau, where you say that despite all of the World Cup wins, Olympic gold medals, million-dollar endorsement deals being on the cover in every single magazine, everyone knowing who I am, I'm actually a victim.

00:26:47.000 I've been devalued, disrespected, and dismissed.

00:26:49.000 Are you trying to say that you've dealt with adversity?

00:26:51.000 Because that's sort of the human norm.

00:26:54.000 Is that the point?

00:26:55.000 Is the point?

00:26:56.000 Could you imagine if Jackie Robinson gave that speech?

00:26:59.000 Could you imagine if Jackie Robinson, when he was finally admitted, number 42, one of the greatest American stories ever?

00:27:05.000 Could you imagine if Jackie Robinson said, you know what?

00:27:07.000 Thanks for letting me into the Major League Baseball Association. 1.00

00:27:11.000 I'm actually going to tell every black person in the country, you can't do this. 1.00

00:27:14.000 You might as well not try. 1.00

00:27:16.000 Megan Rapineau is a disgrace to every single activist athlete that came before her. 1.00

00:27:21.000 She's an ungrateful anti-American activist. 1.00

00:27:27.000 Look, we all know cancel culture is a huge problem. 0.68

00:27:29.000 And the fact is the internet never forgets.

00:27:31.000 We all know this.

00:27:32.000 That's why there's never been a more important time to protect your internet activity.

00:27:36.000 And that's why I urge you to get ExpressVPN.

00:27:39.000 Every time you search, watch, or click anything online, it's tracked by the big tech companies.

00:27:43.000 They can then match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address.

00:27:48.000 The ExpressVPN app also encrypts my network data to protect my sense of information from being compromised.

00:27:54.000 What I like most is how easy it is to use.

00:27:56.000 That's why I believe they're the number one VPN by CNET.

00:28:00.000 That's right, number one, CNET and Wired.

00:28:03.000 So stop handing over all of your data to big tech companies.

00:28:06.000 Go to the VPN that I trust.

00:28:08.000 Visit expressvpn.com/slash Charlie to get three months free for a one-year package.

00:28:25.000 UFOs, unidentified flying objects.

00:28:27.000 Cut 59, Senator Rubio on Maria about UFOs.

00:28:30.000 Cut 59.

00:28:32.000 So, Senator, what about that?

00:28:33.000 What can you tell us about UFOs?

00:28:36.000 Well, we have things flying over military installations, over military exercises, and other places, and we don't know what it is.

00:28:43.000 It isn't ours, it isn't anything that's registered with the FAA, and in many cases, exhibits attributes of things we've never seen, technology, the kinds of technology we haven't seen before, or at least that's what it seems like.

00:28:54.000 I think you have to know what it is, or we have to try to know what it is.

00:28:57.000 That's my view of it without any preconceived notions.

00:29:00.000 Maybe there's a logical explanation.

00:29:02.000 Maybe it's something that can be explained away.

00:29:05.000 Maybe it's a foreign adversary who's made a technological leap, as you heard the former DNI said.

00:29:10.000 There are three possible explanations.

00:29:12.000 Number one, aliens.

00:29:15.000 Number two, that our own government has this technology to be able to move quicker and faster than anything we've seen before.

00:29:22.000 Number three, a foreign adversary has.

00:29:24.000 Cut 60 Ratcliffe on the reports that UFOs and repeating the idea that it can be a foreign adversary.

00:29:30.000 Cut 60.

00:29:31.000 Well, sure.

00:29:31.000 We have lots of reports about what we call unidentified aerial phenomenon.

00:29:37.000 There are a lot more sightings than have been made public.

00:29:40.000 Sometimes we wonder whether or not our adversaries have technologies that are a little bit further down the road than we thought or that we realized.

00:29:47.000 Look, I know John Ratcliffe, he's a great guy.

00:29:50.000 He sounds just as confused as we are.

00:29:52.000 Sometimes we wonder if our adversaries have made leaps and bounds.

00:29:57.000 So it could be any one of those things.

00:29:58.000 And again, you're not supposed to talk about this, but the amount of UFO sightings is going up rather dramatically.

00:30:06.000 People have their own theories on what that is and what that means.

00:30:10.000 Tucker Carlson's actually been covering the UFO story for some years now.

00:30:15.000 And some people say, well, Charlie, does that question your faith?

00:30:19.000 C.S. Lewis has an entire thing about this.

00:30:22.000 And we'll do another podcast on that of how he would eventually be able to reconcile the idea of aliens with his Christian faith.

00:30:33.000 And I'm going to read this word for word.

00:30:35.000 C.S. Lewis said, How can we, without absurd arrogance, believe ourselves to have been uniquely favored?

00:30:41.000 If humans did find alien animal life, Lewis said they would need to determine if these aliens were rational and have a quote spiritual sense and are fallen like humans are.

00:30:53.000 If three were present in these extraterrestrial life forms, and if we discovered that no form of redemption had reached them, then the human task might be to evangelize them.

00:31:03.000 Lewis suggested that it might be, quote, redemption, starting with us, is to work from us and through us.

00:31:09.000 Quote, those who are or can be his sons are our real brothers, even if they have shells or tusks.

00:31:16.000 It is spiritual, not biological kinship that counts.

00:31:20.000 And that is from C.S. Lewis many years ago from an essay titled Religion and Rockets.

00:31:27.000 So, it makes you think there's a lot of things happening out there, and you're not allowed to talk about any of it, of course, which is why this program continues to do very well, despite a lot of people's best efforts to eliminate it.

00:31:38.000 So, I want to thank you guys for subscribing to the podcast.

00:31:40.000 But I want to hear from you guys: what do you think about UFOs?

00:31:43.000 Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:31:45.000 Are these UFOs from China?

00:31:47.000 Are they Russian?

00:31:47.000 Are they Iranian?

00:31:48.000 Are they from Mars? 0.99

00:31:49.000 Are they from some different galaxy?

00:31:51.000 Because, you know, it's really interesting what's happened with the UFO conversation.

00:31:54.000 Our leaders aren't disputing the UFOs anymore.

00:31:57.000 I remember in America they said, oh, no, no, that's nothing.

00:32:00.000 You're confusing it.

00:32:01.000 Now you have Senator Rubio being like, yeah, we don't really know what that is.

00:32:05.000 He's like, could be Independence Day about to happen, or it could be China, and none of it's good.

00:32:12.000 Or it could be our own government and they're trying to deflect on it.

00:32:14.000 It could be us.

00:32:15.000 It could be the United States and our own technology that's starting to pick up on it.

00:32:17.000 But the frequency is increasingly noteworthy.

00:32:24.000 I'm immensely curious, Mr. Producer, what people think.

00:32:27.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:32:28.000 I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether or not you think: are we alone here?

00:32:35.000 And I encourage all of you to go do your own research.

00:32:37.000 This is mainstream press outlets are all of a sudden.

00:32:39.000 You have Rubio, you have Ratcliffe that are saying there are unidentified flying objects flying all over the place.

00:32:45.000 Pilots are cataloging them.

00:32:49.000 You can see, and I want to hear if you guys have seen any.

00:32:51.000 That's what I really want to hear, right?
