00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk show, we talk about UFOs, gender wage pay gap, Megan Rapineau, the crisis on the southern border, and more.
00:00:09.000If you want to support us, please go to charliekirk.com slash support and chip in whatever you can.
00:00:14.000Maybe you got some stimulus money and you say, hey, I don't need this money.
00:00:28.000If not, we're going to keep on posting this stuff, but it's made possible by those that help support it.
00:00:32.000Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:35.000And if you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, which is the nation's largest student movement where we play offense with a sense of urgency to win America's culture war, go to tpusa.com, tpusa.com.
00:01:02.000His 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.
00:01:10.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:23.000We started this week in Dallas, and we went to Boise, Oklahoma City, Missouri.
00:01:29.000And we will be speaking tonight in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky.
00:01:34.000We are speaking to packed rooms, standing room only, young people, college students, high school students at Turning Point USA, about our country.
00:02:18.000They understand the threats ahead of us.
00:02:19.000And 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.
00:02:53.000They'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.
00:03:03.000That's what they're going to try to do through HR1.
00:03:06.000So that is what's happening in Congress is the exact opposite of actually what needs to be solved in our country.
00:03:13.000And then, of course, as I mentioned, big tech censorship.
00:03:16.000Young people in particular see that a small group of companies have way too much power.
00:03:22.000They 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.
00:03:36.000And you look at this last election cycle.
00:03:40.000You were not allowed to even spread, share, or sometimes even view a story on Twitter around Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.
00:03:52.000Hunter 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.
00:04:10.000Those are the top two issues facing the conservative movement.
00:04:14.000And every single politician out there needs to have answers and solutions to both of those.
00:04:19.000There's a lot happening in the country right now.
00:04:21.000And 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.
00:04:30.000Let's go to Cut 51, Jen Saki, who is confronted about the Biden administration continuing to block press from viewing the border patrol facilities.
00:05:09.000You said earlier this week that you would be working on access.
00:05:12.000Is this the only access or will that be coming?
00:05:16.000I 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.
00:05:29.000We felt that would be a good first step and we're looking forward to continuing to engage about how to provide increased access.
00:05:36.000One of the least transparent administrations in American history.
00:05:40.000Could you imagine if Kaylee McEnany, Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders would have given that answer?
00:05:44.000Oh, yeah, we'll show it to you guys in due time.
00:05:46.000I mean, you guys know what's happening.
00:05:47.000That's the essence of what she's saying.
00:05:50.000You 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?
00:06:01.000Now, the very same thing that outraged the left is happening right now in the southern border.
00:06:06.000The media is actually starting to ask questions about this.
00:06:09.000Because the media has to try to keep their profits stable with Donald Trump exiting center stage.
00:06:15.000The media is trying to figure out a way forward.
00:06:21.000Do you agree, though, that you've chosen the facility that is the aspirational facility as opposed to the problem at this moment?
00:06:29.000Well, I would say we all agree that the Border Patrol facilities are not places where children should be.
00:06:36.000Children should be moving more quickly through those facilities.
00:06:39.000That is what our policy central focus is right now, as you know, Jeff.
00:06:43.000And 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.
00:06:54.000We will, and we are working with the Border Patrol and with DHS to determine how we can do that.
00:07:00.000This is not a set of circumstances that the Biden administration was prepared for.
00:07:06.000You 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.
00:07:16.000You notice that Jensaki said there, she said, oh, yeah, they have to move through the process so they can just gain access to America.
00:07:21.000One 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.
00:08:18.000What's happening on the southern border? is not going to get better anytime soon.
00:08:24.000Joe 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.
00:08:34.000He believes it's merely a suggestion or a recommendation.
00:08:40.000He does not believe in border security.
00:08:42.000So 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.
00:09:10.000The CEO of Gallup posted a friendly warning for President Joe Biden.
00:09:15.000Roughly 42 million south of Texas want to migrate into the United States.
00:09:20.000Basically, an entire civilization wants to come into America.
00:09:24.000And the Democrats are perfectly fine with this.
00:09:27.000The Democrats know that if that happens, they can remake America in their image.
00:09:33.000Jim 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.
00:11:26.000Ron DeSantis, who is talking about the importance of revamping all school curriculum to teach the true history of our country without critical race theory.
00:11:45.000Constitution, 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.
00:11:54.000But when you do that, it's got to be true and solid and factual.
00:11:58.000And you can't let it become infected with left-wing ideology like critical race theory.
00:12:03.000Critical race theory is basically teaching people to hate our country, hate each other.
00:12:08.000It's divisive, and it's basically an identity politics version of Marxism.
00:12:13.000So I don't think it has any place in the classroom, certainly shouldn't be funded by tax dollars.
00:12:18.000So 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.
00:12:27.000So we're going to have a depoliticized curriculum.
00:12:30.000We're not going to let that stuff in there.
00:12:32.000And I think that that's going to serve students well in the state of Florida for years to come.
00:13:20.000That the governor of the eighth most diverse state in the country, racially diverse state, is taking a stand against critical race theory.
00:13:27.000And 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.
00:13:36.000This is a winning issue for Republicans.
00:13:39.000The 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.
00:13:50.000Critical race theory teaches your children that America is inherently racist.
00:13:55.000In fact, every one of these speeches I'm giving, I'm trying to give a little bit of a different speech tonight.
00:14:00.000My speech will be five lies you are taught about America.
00:14:03.000That'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.
00:14:07.000The five biggest lies taught about America.
00:14:10.000And one of them is that America was founded on slavery, not freedom.
00:14:14.000America was founded on freedom, not slavery.
00:14:50.000Get 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?
00:15:00.000And if it is, I'm not going to tolerate it.
00:15:03.000In 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.
00:15:22.000And it's another lie that our young people are taught quite often, which is that women earn dramatically less than men.
00:17:04.000And 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.
00:17:13.000Therefore, for a viewer, that is more enjoyable to watch.
00:17:17.000It's as if you were saying, Charlie, do you enjoy watching high school basketball?
00:17:21.000I 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.
00:20:12.000There's also some other reasons that play into this.
00:20:14.000Women are less likely to ask for a raise from their boss.
00:20:17.000And women make a decision in their late 20s and early 30s to voluntarily exit the workforce to go have children.
00:20:23.000That'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.
00:20:35.000That's when your career is at its most consequential point, where you have five or six years under your belt.
00:20:48.000But 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.
00:21:36.000Do you know that in Shambly, Georgia, women earn more than men?
00:21:39.000Lake Worth, Florida, women earn more than men.
00:21:41.000Plainfield, New Jersey, women earn more than men.
00:21:43.000Trenton, New Jersey, women earn more than men.
00:21:45.000Inglewood, California, the village of Hempstead, New York, and Prince George County, Maryland, women earn more than men.
00:21:52.000So there's plenty of places across the country where this wage gap does not exist.
00:21:56.000According to USA Today by Amy Pitchy, this was three weeks ago.
00:22:02.000More women are now out earning their husbands.
00:22:05.000USA Today, this was three weeks ago this was published.
00:22:08.000With women now comprising more than half the U.S. workforce, it's perhaps no surprise that another seismic shift is happening in American homes.
00:22:15.000A growing share of women are now the family's breadwinners.
00:22:18.000So 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.
00:22:26.000The wage gap is a complete and total lie.
00:22:29.000Do you know that women are more likely to study degrees in college that do not result in high wage earning long term?
00:22:34.000For example, elementary education, psychology and communications.
00:22:38.000Men are more likely to study business, finance, technology, engineering, and math, which have a higher likelihood of long-term wage growth and career development.
00:22:49.000You look at the top five majors, high-income majors, meaning degrees that have the highest likelihood of you producing a high wage long term.
00:24:01.000You go spend time in Maine with lobstermen.
00:24:04.000You want to talk about guys that work 20-hour days.
00:24:07.000In fact, a lot of those people get into cocaine and they get into heroin because it's so incredibly encompassing.
00:24:14.000There 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.
00:24:22.000So I thought it was sexist to say that.
00:24:24.000No, I thought that it was, I thought you're not even allowed to categorize people.
00:24:42.000This is the sort of conversations we need to have in our country.
00:24:44.000And 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?
00:25:45.000Megan Rapineau should be saying, you know what?
00:25:47.000I'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.
00:25:58.000That when we were in Japan, when we were competing overseas, this country rallied behind the women's soccer team, which is true.
00:26:04.000I was cheering for them, even though I hated their politics.
00:26:07.000And 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.
00:26:21.000You're doing the LeBron James thing now.
00:26:23.000The only difference is you're doing it for women, that he does it for black people.
00:26:26.000Somehow 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.
00:26:36.000So 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.
00:26:47.000I've been devalued, disrespected, and dismissed.
00:26:49.000Are you trying to say that you've dealt with adversity?
00:26:51.000Because that's sort of the human norm.
00:28:36.000Well, we have things flying over military installations, over military exercises, and other places, and we don't know what it is.
00:28:43.000It 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.
00:28:54.000I think you have to know what it is, or we have to try to know what it is.
00:28:57.000That's my view of it without any preconceived notions.
00:29:31.000We have lots of reports about what we call unidentified aerial phenomenon.
00:29:37.000There are a lot more sightings than have been made public.
00:29:40.000Sometimes 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.
00:29:47.000Look, I know John Ratcliffe, he's a great guy.
00:29:52.000Sometimes we wonder if our adversaries have made leaps and bounds.
00:29:57.000So it could be any one of those things.
00:29:58.000And again, you're not supposed to talk about this, but the amount of UFO sightings is going up rather dramatically.
00:30:06.000People have their own theories on what that is and what that means.
00:30:10.000Tucker Carlson's actually been covering the UFO story for some years now.
00:30:15.000And some people say, well, Charlie, does that question your faith?
00:30:19.000C.S. Lewis has an entire thing about this.
00:30:22.000And we'll do another podcast on that of how he would eventually be able to reconcile the idea of aliens with his Christian faith.
00:30:33.000And I'm going to read this word for word.
00:30:35.000C.S. Lewis said, How can we, without absurd arrogance, believe ourselves to have been uniquely favored?
00:30:41.000If 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.
00:30:53.000If 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.
00:31:03.000Lewis suggested that it might be, quote, redemption, starting with us, is to work from us and through us.
00:31:09.000Quote, those who are or can be his sons are our real brothers, even if they have shells or tusks.
00:31:16.000It is spiritual, not biological kinship that counts.
00:31:20.000And that is from C.S. Lewis many years ago from an essay titled Religion and Rockets.
00:31:27.000So, 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.
00:31:38.000So, I want to thank you guys for subscribing to the podcast.
00:31:40.000But I want to hear from you guys: what do you think about UFOs?
