00:00:24.000Hey, everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, we do two things.
00:00:27.000We go through the Ron DeSantis CBS story and scandal for CBS that Ron DeSantis handled brilliantly.
00:00:36.000And then we have some exclusive material to cover from Nickelodeon, what your children are learning from one of the largest networks in the country.
00:00:45.000It's very informative, instructive, and worth sending to your friends that might have no idea what's going on in America with this.
00:00:53.000If you want to support us and our program, maybe you're saying to yourself, I wish millions of young people could hear this.
00:01:00.000We'll play a part in that at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:01:04.000If you think to yourself that if only more people could hear this message, we'll then make it possible.
00:01:09.000It helps us spread the message, get more people engaged, get more people aware at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:01:17.000We love hearing from you at freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:46.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:02.000Number one, his first rule is that if the media makes you, the media can break you.
00:03:09.000Meaning, if you were a Republican or a conservative who is a darling of the media, at any time, the media can crush you at moment's notice.
00:03:20.000And this rule was true in many different ways over the last couple decades.
00:03:26.000And it's also true on the Democrat side as well.
00:03:29.000The second rule that Rush used to say quite often is that if they are attacking you relentlessly using their most prime real estate, their oceanfront property, their 127th floor penthouse in New York, the most valuable media property, you're a threat to them.
00:03:58.000Over the weekend, 60 Minutes, which is their equivalent of their Malibu beachfront property or the penthouse overlooking Central Park, the most valuable media real estate on the left.
00:04:15.000Did they talk about Hunter Biden and the fact that Joe Biden might be implicated in a pay-for-play scheme by the Chinese Communist Party, the current president?
00:05:24.000The guy has come out against critical race theory, tech companies, open state, incredible success rate when it comes to the virus, open schools, very popular, the third largest state.
00:05:38.000Trump won by 400,000 votes, and they had all their votes in by 9:30 Eastern.
00:05:43.000I said, so we're in April, and you're just now doing a hit piece on Ron DeSantis?
00:05:48.000You're just now using the media death star, which is 60 Minutes to come after him.
00:05:59.000Ron DeSantis has courage and a high IQ, a very rare combination in today's life.
00:06:06.000And so the activist media, while ignoring Cuomo and ignoring Newsom on 60 Minutes, which is allegedly supposed to be the gold star of journalism, which is a bunch of rubbish and trash, they're nothing more than a Democrat super PAC with a clicking talk in between commercials.
00:06:24.000People that hate America, that act like they're journalists.
00:06:27.000They decided that their big story that they were going to unveil against Ron DeSantis is that Ron DeSantis received a $100,000 contribution to his super PAC from someone who is tied to a grocery store chain.
00:06:47.000And therefore, that absolutely means that Ron DeSantis only chose them as one of many vaccine distribution places because of a $100,000 contribution.
00:07:02.000And in doing so, they deceptively edited Ron DeSantis' response.
00:07:08.000They deceptively carved out the truth of the matter.
00:07:16.000And 60 Minutes is receiving backlash from all people across the country.
00:07:23.000Even honest journalists on the left are saying that this was ridiculous and that many people on the left are not even coming to their defense.
00:07:42.000And obviously, they selectively edited the background.
00:07:45.000They tried to act like there was a conspiracy with Publix, ignoring the fact that other pharmacies were involved before Publix doing all our long-term care facilities and ignoring the fact that I met with the county mayor, who's now as a Democrat, who said what 60 Minutes has done is bunk.
00:08:01.000But Palm Beach calculated 90% of their seniors live within a mile and a half of a Publix.
00:08:06.000So when we put it in there, their number started going through the roof.
00:08:18.000But what they didn't tell you also, Tucker, is when there was a need in a more rural part of the county, like near Lake Okeechobee, we set up a separate site in a small town called Pahoki.
00:08:46.000It was done with malicious intent and a reckless disregard for the truth.
00:08:50.000They would not talk to the people who were most relevant to this because they know those key Democrats, Jared Moskowitz, Mayor Dave Kerner, would blow up their narrative.
00:08:59.000So they just put their head in the sand and pretended like those facts didn't exist.
00:09:12.000You're dealing with a courageous person that is actually smarter than you are, that has a higher IQ, that can get on television and recite facts for 45 seconds uninterrupted in a pure flow of consciousness that make you look like fools.
00:09:26.000If you're going to attack Ron DeSantis, you better have your facts right and you better not do some kibosh, JV, seventh grade style journalism where you cut one thing and misrepresent reality.
00:09:37.000So now Ron DeSantis is playing offense against 60 Minutes.
00:10:12.000I was the one that sat in the meeting.
00:10:14.000I was the one that asked for Publix's assistance in this county.
00:10:18.000And to not have that perspective included, it was sort of a surreal experience.
00:10:22.000And so I did issue a pretty scathing statement to CBS in 60 Minutes on my own letterhead as the county mayor, not on behalf of the county.
00:10:31.000But I felt that it was important to have the truth out in the public sphere.
00:10:34.000So for me, I left this experience really disheartened with 60 Minutes.
00:10:39.00060 Minutes is supposed to be the gatekeeper of journalism in America, yet they are manipulating you.
00:10:46.000And Ron DeSantis has handled this perfectly.
00:10:48.000He gets an A-plus on top of an A-plus because he's already acing the lockdowns, the school openings, the business issues, the riots, the tech issue, the critical race theory.
00:10:59.000And then they say, okay, we got to take this guy out.
00:11:06.000If you do not have your facts checked off, we are going to have a counteroffensive against you.
00:11:10.000And 60 Minutes thinks they're dealing with a normal Republican.
00:11:14.000In 60 Minutes thinks that they're dealing with just a typical Republican who's going to just go to the same talking points, and they are wrong.
00:11:22.000This is one of the worst pieces of journalism I have ever seen.
00:11:26.000It's so unbelievably dishonest that only a Democrat super PAC would act like this.
00:11:34.000Their reputation and their credibility, whatever they had left, is permanently destroyed.
00:11:41.000When a Republican governor who is a conservative starts to succeed and push back against every lie that we've been told when it comes to reopening, school closures, economic development, critical race theory, does so eloquently, courageously, and is a rising star in the party, the activist media immediately tries to destroy that person.
00:12:08.000And Ron DeSantis did not take the bait.
00:12:12.000Ron DeSantis deserves some credit here.
00:12:15.000Because if you watch the 60 Minutes piece, you realize he did not really want to do this piece.
00:12:21.000He didn't sit down and allow this elaborate interview.
00:12:24.000The only opportunity, it looks from what I've seen from the 60 Minutes piece, that he had an opportunity to answer questions when they basically interrupted him at a press conference.
00:12:33.000Ron DeSantis is a threat to the Democrat Party.
00:12:37.000Ron DeSantis has overseen secure and safe elections, and previously they were not, an open state, a vibrant state, a multicultural state, a diverse state, a multilingual state, anti-critical race theory, up against the tech companies, no income tax, corporate or personal.
00:13:43.000If every Republican had that kind of courage and fortitude, knew their facts and acted properly with clear conviction, imagine the place our country would be in.
00:15:02.000They're trying to set the record straight and delegitimize the contents of a reputable reporter, Miranda Devine, who's terrific, coming out and exposing the Biden family for what they are.
00:15:17.000The only way to deal with the activist media is to not treat them like fair and impartial communicators.
00:15:26.000Instead, they must be treated as what they really are.
00:15:29.000They're an apparatus of the Democrat National Committee and the Democrat Party.
00:15:33.000And Ron DeSantis has done this Better than anyone that I've seen in recent politics, except maybe Donald Trump.
00:15:54.000They don't know about Okeechobee, Publix, Walgreens, CBS, vaccine distribution centers.
00:16:00.000All that CBS knew and all 60 Minutes knew is that some activist, social justice warrior, critical race theory person said, oh, there must be a racial reason why he's doing this or a corrupt reason.
00:17:38.000So I want to get to the governor of Arkansas, who really, in a strange way, decided to veto a bill that would basically governor of Arkansas decided to sign a bill siding with the transgender lobby.
00:18:44.000And isn't it interesting how the last two shootings and incidents, the Capitol Hill attack last week, who was an Islamist with ties to Louis Farrakhan, and the attacker in Colorado, who had ties to, let's just say, pro-fundamentalist Islamic sympathies, we're not talking about those.
00:19:10.000And then a BLM Incorporated activist who's employed by one of the largest modeling agencies on the planet, she says we're going to burn down everything if we don't get our way with a trial of your peers, of a jury of your peers.
00:19:26.000And that story gets very little to no coverage.
00:19:34.000It's hard to say which way it's going to go.
00:19:36.000Andy McCarthy had a great piece today talking about how there's more evidence to suggest, and we've been saying this for quite some time, that this is not as clear-cut as anyone has said throughout the entire process.
00:19:52.000It's impossible to know how a jury is going to react, but there's been powerful testimony on both sides.
00:19:58.000There's been testimony by some people that have said that the action of Derek Chauvin was permissible.
00:20:06.000Some people said it was impermissible.
00:20:09.000We have an entire podcast on the top five lies around the George Floyd death.
00:20:45.000Would you agree that from the perspective of Officer King's body camera, it appears that Officer Chauvin's knee was more on Mr. Floyd's shoulder blade?
00:21:02.000Well, it's largely important because, according to the original toxicology report and the original autopsy, the cause of death was originally stated not to be suffocation.
00:21:25.000And then he was likely suffering from a drug overdose before that action took place.
00:21:34.000Now, the broader implications of all this is that that specific emotionally charged moment changed our entire American political discourse, redirected billions of dollars of capital, changed the way we educate our children.
00:21:54.000So we got an email from one of our listeners here at freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:23:30.000It's important to show support for racial justice without detracting from marginalized voices.
00:23:36.000Be aware of how much space you take when speaking out and make sure that black voices and voices of color are being lifted up, heard, and centered.
00:23:45.000Basically, they're arguing for some strange form of linguistic affirmative action.
00:23:53.000Continues by saying, listen and learn from black people and people of color without asking them to educate you.
00:24:01.000Your life and social media feed should be full of black and brown voices and perspectives.
00:24:05.000What an unbelievably racist way to view the world.
00:24:30.000They are putting a moral preference on skin color, not on talent, creativity, character, or conduct.
00:24:37.000Instead of saying, ask for better actors, funnier lines, or more clever commentary, they're saying, no, no, no, no, demand skin color differences.
00:25:59.000Nickelodeon is advocating for segregation.
00:26:03.000Spaces for communities of color are often important sources of resilience to inequity.
00:26:09.000Every situation is different, but it's important to be aware that sometimes the best way to show up is to step back.
00:26:16.000Producer Connor, can you get George Wallace, his famous quote, you do understand that the white Democrat segregationists made this argument.
00:26:29.000The white segregationists used to say that black people need their own spaces.
00:26:34.000Honor and respect black spaces and spaces of color.
00:26:38.000Wait, so do we need white-only drinking fountains and black-only drinking fountains?
00:26:44.000Do we need black-only schools and white-only schools?
00:26:48.000That's what Nickelodeon is advocating.
00:28:02.000And it actually makes perfect sense that they've been infiltrated by the critical race theorists.
00:28:06.000It makes perfect sense because if you're able to teach a generation to care about skin color and create them the most racist generation since Jim Crow when they're six years old, then you can remake America in your image.
00:28:23.000The power dynamics then go in your direction.
00:28:26.000I was in high school, what year is it?
00:29:22.000In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny.
00:29:33.000And I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever.
00:29:41.000Now, George Wallace is commonly referred to as one of the most racist people in modern political history, and that's probably correct.
00:29:50.000He harbored legitimate feelings of racial stereotype and prejudice.
00:29:55.000But now Nickelodeon has in their guideline for children that we must honor and respect black spaces and spaces of color.
00:30:03.000That spaces for communities of color are often important and sources of resilience to inequity.
00:30:09.000I encourage all of you to go read the scholarship of George Wallace.
00:30:12.000I don't even want to call it scholarship.
00:30:16.000This is one of the arguments that Strom Thurman and Southern Democrats used to make.
00:30:22.000Hey, we got to give black people their own space.
00:30:25.000That's why we have to keep things separate.
00:30:28.000Nickelodeon continues by saying every situation is different, but it's important to be aware that sometimes the best way to show up is to step back.
00:30:36.000Have white-only spaces and black-only spaces.
00:30:39.000I actually think we should force the Democrats' hand on this issue to break them.
00:30:45.000I think that we should say, okay, then we're going to have white-only and black-only dormitories, which, by the way, that's what they're doing.
00:30:54.000But I think we should force the issue and say, you guys want to do this?
00:31:03.000And George Wallace, the Southern Democrat who ran for president purely on the issue of segregation, might have lost the battle, and he's winning the war.
00:31:15.000Young children today that watch Nickelodeon and go to college and go to high school, they are taught that we should have spaces segregated on skin color.
00:31:23.000It's right there in the guidelines of Nickelodeon.
00:31:28.000And it's not just a radical thing at one of a children's network.
00:31:31.000At Columbia University, they have black-only graduation.
