00:00:25.000 Hey everybody, child abuse is occurring in our schools and it's time to start fighting back against it.

00:00:30.000 And what does the Constitution tell us about a time like this?

00:00:33.000 We talk about Senator Raphael Warnock and explore that together.

00:01:11.000 Buckle up, everybody, here we go.

00:01:13.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:15.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:17.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:20.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:24.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:25.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:26.000 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.

00:01:34.000 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.

00:01:43.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:45.000 All right.

00:01:46.000 We might commit a thought crime here.

00:01:48.000 That's the warning.

00:01:50.000 What is child abuse?

00:01:53.000 According to childhelp.org, child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, or emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child.

00:02:04.000 There are many forms of child maltreatment, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and exploitation, and emotional abuse.

00:02:12.000 So there's a lot there, but it's not very specific.

00:02:16.000 So is it child abuse to force a 10-year-old to wear a mask, which dehumanizes them, is very uncomfortable, has very little to no medical utility for the 10-year-old itself for a virus that they are not at risk of dying from, large risk of dying from.

00:02:36.000 Significant risk, I should say.

00:02:37.000 Is that child abuse?

00:02:39.000 At what point does it become child abuse?

00:02:43.000 Well, this is what a mature society would be talking about.

00:02:45.000 Instead of trying to mandate that a child has walk around with a piece of cloth all the time, we'd be asking a very mature question, what is the risk?

00:02:56.000 What is the cost?

00:02:57.000 And are there going to be any long-term damaging effects because of this?

00:03:05.000 So parents have basically, in my opinion, failed this test.

00:03:12.000 Some have spoken out.

00:03:13.000 Some have decided to organize.

00:03:15.000 Most parents are far too agreeable, and they have allowed their children to be abused by society and their schools.

00:03:23.000 So some children are now speaking out.

00:03:25.000 10-year-olds.

00:03:26.000 This one young man, I guess you could call him that, he's a kid, he's 10 years old, by the name of John Provenzano.

00:03:32.000 You probably saw him on Tucker Carlson.

00:03:35.000 Tucker has a phenomenal show.

00:03:37.000 Who's now speaking out against these mask mandates?

00:03:39.000 Again, he is 10 years old.

00:03:41.000 And there is more wisdom of this 10-year-old from this 10-year-old than almost every single teacher, school board member, or quite honestly, most parents across the country.

00:03:51.000 Play cut 57.

00:03:53.000 If the parents aren't speaking out, then the 10-year-olds will save us.

00:03:56.000 Cut 57.

00:03:57.000 One teacher walks around with a clipboard full of referrals for any student whose mask isn't on promptly.

00:04:03.000 It makes me feel scared.

00:04:04.000 That same teacher yells at us having our mask-bounded drink of water while we are outside in Carlin.

00:04:10.000 She told us we had to wait until we were in our parents' car to have a drink of water.

00:04:15.000 And it seems unfair teachers take their masks off while they yell at us kids and that we need to pull ours up.

00:04:24.000 I asked my mom if there is a word for this and she said there is hypocrisy.

00:04:33.000 I asked my mom if there's a word for this and she said there was hypocrisy.

00:04:38.000 Now I'll get into the root of what the Greek word hypocrite means, but I want to finish the point because it's actually a very important point.

00:04:46.000 So John Provenzano on Tucker was saying that basically he was getting anxiety for this clipboard enforcing micro-tyrant, which is a term we coined here on the Charlie Kirk show.

00:05:00.000 We coined together.

00:05:01.000 The audience responded very favorably.

00:05:03.000 And basically, when you have rules, you need rule enforcers.

00:05:07.000 And then you need subjects, not citizens.

00:05:11.000 So instead of going to school to learn, to be fulfilled, to pursue truth and be enlightened, John Provenzano and 10-year-olds across the country are being treated, maltreated, and abused by the people that have been tasked to care for them.

00:05:29.000 And where the parents are, I don't know.

00:05:31.000 But the 10-year-olds are speaking out because they have far more wisdom and courage than most parents do.

00:05:37.000 CUD 58.

00:05:39.000 You said later in your talk, and we didn't play it, but it was, I thought the most poignant part, you said, you saw one of your teachers outside of school and she didn't recognize you.

00:05:49.000 She didn't know what you look like.

00:05:52.000 So she's actually never seen me or any of my classmates' faces before.

00:05:58.000 So when I bumped into her at a school, I said, oh, hi.

00:06:04.000 And she's like, oh, wait, that's you?

00:06:08.000 And I'm like, oh, yeah, that is me.

00:06:13.000 And she's like, oh, hi, John.

00:06:14.000 I really don't see your face because all I see is just your eyes. 0.89

00:06:19.000 That's sick. 0.99

00:06:21.000 That's child abuse. 0.96

00:06:24.000 I spoke out for years against the Muslim burqa at great cost and all the activists coming up because I think it's dehumanizing to women.

00:06:32.000 I think God gave us a face.

00:06:34.000 A face is a unique way to tell people's feelings, emotions, the spirit and the soul manifest on the face.

00:06:42.000 And we're able to communicate, connect, and love one another better when you're able to see faces.

00:06:50.000 We have said, we have read the Aristotle quote many times here that tyrants seek to make citizens unfamiliar with one another.

00:07:00.000 That is the goal of the tyrant, to make one citizen distrustful of one another.

00:07:05.000 And John Provenzano, the 10-year-old on Tucker Carlson, says it best.

00:07:10.000 How can you know me?

00:07:12.000 How can you teach me if you can't even see my face?

00:07:18.000 John Provenzano, 10-year-old on Tucker, said his teacher doesn't even know what he looks like.

00:07:24.000 And you heard in his quote, oh, almost a sulking attitude.

00:07:28.000 And there's so much wisdom in what he's saying, but he's basically like, you're not teaching me.

00:07:34.000 You're not connecting with me.

00:07:36.000 Remember, education comes from the Latin word to lead forth.

00:07:39.000 How can you lead forth children if you don't know what they look like?

00:07:44.000 If they're nothing more than widgets and automatons to be tyrannized. 0.89

00:07:51.000 So hypocrisy comes from a Greek word, hippocresis, Which actually means play acting, acting out, or coward.

00:08:05.000 I actually like going back to the Greek because it's actually this is where these words stemmed from. 0.71

00:08:09.000 So we have that word hypocrite, and usually we say hypocrite is one person who says one thing or does another. 0.97

00:08:14.000 I like a play acting, jealous coward. 0.99

00:08:20.000 That's who these teachers are that go around enforcing these ridiculous mask mandates for kids that don't need to wear them. 0.99

00:08:27.000 They don't. 0.97

00:08:27.000 It's child abuse. 0.97

00:08:29.000 You are going to see increases in pharmaceutical prescriptions, suicide, emotional damage, social isolation, self-confidence issues.

00:08:42.000 All because some hall-modering, monitoring, low-IQ tyrant that has a teaching certificate is going around like the Gestapo.

00:08:54.000 And if parents aren't going to stand up and do anything, and some are, I mean, some parents are going to school board meetings and they're starting to speak out, but it is nowhere near the outrage that I would have thought. 0.79

00:09:05.000 It is nowhere near the sort of standing up for the innocent, which is literally children that I would have anticipated.

00:09:18.000 I went to a grocery store recently, and producer Connor had a very similar example of this.

00:09:24.000 And two and three-year-olds look at you when you don't wear a mask as if there's something wrong with you.

00:09:31.000 There's a lot of truth there, of course, because what better way to break a bond between a parent and a child than insert the state and dehumanize that child to make them feel as if they have no individuality and they're nothing like them.

00:09:49.000 You are nothing more than a cog in the machine.

00:09:52.000 There is a whole generation of toddlers who are going to think that mask wearing is the norm.

00:09:58.000 They'll never appreciate the impact of a smile or a kind expression from a stranger because they're being trained to live behind this conformity shield.

00:10:10.000 We are training a generation that will be phenomenal at obeying whatever they are told.

00:10:18.000 It makes a perfect generation for power-hungry leftists.

00:10:26.000 I don't know where the parents are.

00:10:28.000 I'm still looking.

00:10:31.000 Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about My Pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his My Slippers.

00:10:37.000 Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.

00:10:40.000 He's a patriot.

00:10:41.000 He loves his country.

00:10:42.000 A lot of people like Mike Lindell.

00:10:44.000 In fact, I get emails from people.

00:10:45.000 They say, Charlie, how can I help you?

00:10:47.000 How can I help Mike Lindell?

00:10:49.000 How can I help the country?

00:10:50.000 Well, if you go to mypillow.com and buy anything with the promo code Kirk, it helps both of us.

00:10:56.000 Maybe you want to go buy the MyPillow slippers.

00:10:56.000 That's right.

00:11:00.000 They're beautiful slippers.

00:11:02.000 Maybe you want to buy the My Pillow, My Pillow.

00:11:04.000 My Pillow Slippers are so comfortable that you want to get some for the whole family.

00:11:08.000 So go to mypillow.com and click on the Radio Listener Square and use promo code Kirk.

00:11:13.000 You'll also get deep discounts on MyPillow products, including the Giza Dream bedsheets, the MyPillow mattress toppers, and MyPillow towel sets.

00:11:20.000 Or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk.

00:11:26.000 It fascinates me as I watch our republic be blitzkrieged by these collectivist authoritarians.

00:11:36.000 I'm still trying to make sense of it, why so many decent Americans are allowing this to happen.

00:11:42.000 Almost all of the tragedy of the 20th century is starting to make sense.

00:11:46.000 And if you think you're any better person than anyone in the 20th century and you're not doing something about what is happening to our children right now, spare me.

00:11:57.000 Our children are being abused by our taxpayer dollars in real time.

00:12:02.000 And something we talk about quite often at Turning Point USA is our broken government school system and why parents continue to send their kids to those schools.

00:12:13.000 I suppose it's only out of financial necessity.

00:12:15.000 There is no other reason to do that.

00:12:18.000 So there's a new video that has come out, Poinette High School in Wisconsin. 1.00

00:12:21.000 This is the sort of imbecile and maniac that is teaching your children. 0.99

00:12:27.000 This person should not be allowed to flip burgers at a Wendy's, let alone be in charge and tasked with educating children. 1.00

00:12:39.000 Play Cut 72. 1.00

00:12:42.000 I don't care if you're vaccinated, you little dick. 1.00

00:12:45.000 Okay. 1.00

00:12:46.000 I don't want to get sick and die.

00:12:49.000 Okay.

00:12:49.000 There's other people you can infect just because you're vaccinated.

00:12:52.000 You know what?

00:12:53.000 You're not a special person around here.

00:12:56.000 You should hear about how everybody talks about you. 1.00

00:12:58.000 You're a jerk. 1.00

00:13:00.000 You're a jerk. 1.00

00:13:02.000 Okay. 1.00

00:13:03.000 And you need to have respect for other people in your life.

00:13:06.000 I do.

00:13:07.000 You're not a big man on campus.

00:13:10.000 That's a teacher.

00:13:12.000 You're not a special person.

00:13:14.000 You're not like me.

00:13:16.000 You're not a teacher.

00:13:17.000 Now, to give her some credit, I can see why she's worried.

00:13:21.000 She's a very big person.

00:13:22.000 And I think if she got the virus, she'd be in the risk category.

00:13:25.000 So I think that there's some truth to that.

00:13:28.000 I think that she should make some different life decisions. 1.00

00:13:30.000 I mean, she's basically a house. 1.00

00:13:32.000 And that shouldn't be the kid's problem.

00:13:35.000 He's fully vaccinated.

00:13:37.000 And he's like, why do I have to wear a mask?

00:13:39.000 And she starts berating him.

00:13:43.000 You hear how the teacher was talking to him?

00:13:45.000 The tone?

00:13:46.000 That is a government-funded, taxpayer-funded teacher that thinks it's now fully acceptable and fine to scream and say, you know how everyone talks about you?

00:13:57.000 Who's the bully in this situation?

00:13:59.000 I have long said that the bullying crisis in America is teachers bullying kids.

00:14:05.000 It's not kids bullying kids.

00:14:07.000 It's teachers bullying kids.

00:14:10.000 I'm going to play another cut from the John Provenzano interview.

00:14:14.000 Tucker Carlson asks John Provenzano if teachers ever explain the science, and he said no, cut 59.

00:14:23.000 Do they ever explain the science to you?

00:14:26.000 No.

00:14:26.000 They just simply tell us, just wear it.

00:14:29.000 It keeps you safe.

00:14:31.000 Just wear it.

00:14:32.000 That's all they tell us.

00:14:33.000 They yell at you?

00:14:35.000 What do they say when they yell at you?

00:14:36.000 Sometimes.

00:14:38.000 Oh, they literally say, I'm done.

00:14:41.000 Put your masks on because you're being disrespectful to all of us teachers who have to work really hard.

00:14:48.000 And I'm like, we're also working hard too.

00:14:52.000 It's almost 100 degrees outside, wearing cloth masks, and you expect us not to be hot and complain.

00:15:04.000 It's just insanity.

00:15:08.000 It's just insanity.

00:15:11.000 And the reason why you have a 10-year-old telling something is insane is because the guardians of our society are nowhere to be found.

00:15:20.000 A civilization will no longer be able to exist if the people who have been around, who should have wisdom, knowledge of things that never change, eternal knowledge, not practical knowledge.

00:15:34.000 A civilization will Be smashed into millions of pieces if the guardians do not take care of the most precious resource imaginable, which is the children.

00:15:48.000 And so that's why a 10-year-old is going on Tucker Carlson.

00:15:52.000 I don't know if the school board member where John Provenzano goes to school cares or not, but they likely don't.

00:15:58.000 These school board members are mostly cowards and spineless activists and the typical kind of corporate types that don't care about their nation but only care about short-term profit maximization.

00:16:13.000 There's something very serious here. 0.92

00:16:16.000 And it bothers me on a personal level.

00:16:20.000 And I've been talking about this for weeks and months.

00:16:23.000 We're starting to see more people go to school board meetings.

00:16:25.000 We're starting to see more parents speak out.

00:16:30.000 It's not happening enough.

00:16:33.000 This is the greatest movement of child abuse in American history.

00:16:38.000 And the parents are either silent or they're in on it.

00:17:40.000 Go to legacybox.com/slash kirk, legacybox.com/slash kirk. 0.64

00:17:46.000 One of my biggest complaints is people like LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, and Raphael Warnock, successful blacks that have made it in America, and then they make it their daily obsession to tell other blacks that they're oppressed and they can't make it.

00:18:01.000 It bothers me on a deeply personal level.

00:18:06.000 In the sense that it is rooted in ingratitude, it is rooted in keeping others down so that they might stay up.

00:18:15.000 And it is almost a feudalistic view of America.

00:18:19.000 And so Raphael Warnock, who's not a very smart person and never should have been a U.S. Senator, there's a lot of reasons why that happened, and we can get into that.

00:18:26.000 The Georgia runoff still is a stinging open wound that I have politically.

00:18:33.000 And it's just really hard because if Republicans would control the Senate, even with Mitch McConnell with one vote with Susan Collins and Murkowski, the entire dynamics of Washington would be different right now.

00:18:44.000 Committees would be controlled by Republicans.

00:18:46.000 They could subpoena Biden over this Nord Stream 2 nonsense.

00:18:50.000 They could hold hearings on Hunter Biden.

00:18:53.000 It would be a completely different political atmosphere.

00:18:56.000 There would be a check and a balance.

00:18:58.000 They could subpoena the head of the FBI and say, wait a second, why did you knock down Rudy Giuliani's door at 6 a.m.?

00:19:06.000 And said, when you control no chambers of power, it becomes a one-party state.

00:19:12.000 So Raphael Warnock told a group of college graduates that they need to do their part to get out of this COVID-16-19.

00:19:22.000 This is a U.S. senator.

00:19:25.000 Cut 56.

00:19:27.000 Go forth.

00:19:28.000 Don't just teach us how to make our way out of COVID-19.

00:19:32.000 Teach us how to make our way out of COVID-1619.

00:19:40.000 I do have to say the best part of that speech is the fact that almost no one applauded.

00:19:46.000 That it was kind of, it went over like a lead balloon.

00:19:49.000 I could tell you that was not resounding applause.

00:19:53.000 It actually gives me hope. 0.98

00:19:55.000 But you understand that the smear merchants, the people that basically professionally misrepresent our history, like Raphael Warnock and Oprah Winfrey and Nicole Hannah Jones and Ibram X. Kendi, and what's the other guy that's the total moron? 0.97

00:20:11.000 Trying to think what the other guy's name is. 0.98

00:20:12.000 Oh my gosh, I'll think about it.

00:20:14.000 He's the Tahadisi Coates.

00:20:15.000 That's right.

00:20:16.000 Tahad Nisi Coates and Don Laman.

00:20:19.000 I actually don't think these people's constituency is that big.

00:20:22.000 If you've seen CNN's ratings lately, they did not have one show on Monday that reached 1 million viewers from 4 p.m. onward.

00:20:29.000 Not one show.

00:20:30.000 Actually gives me hope.

00:20:32.000 Instead of empowerment, instead of trying to lift people up and say, make better choices and the future is yours, instead they are trying to motivate a swarm of activists so that they can stay in power.

00:20:47.000 Just something to always remember when you're dealing with these Democrats is they need the division and they need the conflict in order to justify themselves staying in power.

00:21:01.000 Now, I believe that one of the greatest mistakes made in American history is one that we don't talk about enough.

00:21:12.000 And I've been waiting to talk about this until there was the right example.

00:21:17.000 And I think Raphael Warnock saying that triggers this thought while it's still fresh enough. 0.98

00:21:23.000 So what would happen if Raphael Warnock would have said something that unbelievably stupid in 1910? 0.99

00:21:33.000 What would happen? 0.99

00:21:34.000 Well, the state legislature used to appoint the U.S. senators.

00:21:40.000 The state legislature used to be the oversight of the United States Senate.

00:21:48.000 So therefore, as the state Senate was Republican, the senators would have also been Republican.

00:21:54.000 What would that mean right now?

00:21:56.000 That would mean right now, the U.S. Senate would have 54 Republicans and possibly even more because Republicans control about 27 state legislatures.

00:22:09.000 And I believe one of the greatest mistakes ever made in American history that gets almost no credit and very little understanding from scientists and historians, not scientists, historians, political scientists, what I meant, was the 17th Amendment.

00:22:24.000 So when Raphael Warnock would be going around talking about all this, what would have happened if we wouldn't have the 17th Amendment?

00:22:32.000 Well, the 17th Amendment says very clearly that it's the direct election of senators.

00:22:38.000 This was a massive mistake.

00:22:39.000 This is an anti-republic pro-democracy reform.

00:22:44.000 See, a republic spreads power over space and time.

00:22:47.000 A republic slows things down.

00:22:51.000 A republic creates a process because there are rights that are naturally granted and recognized by the government that they can't be infringed upon.

00:23:06.000 Democracy is straight up mob rule, Athenian style, quick to rise, quick to fall, and the burn is going to be dramatic. 1.00

00:23:15.000 And so once we got the 17th Amendment in place, senators became very stupid. 0.98

00:23:22.000 They became nothing more than public front-facing celebrities that promised things they could never deliver to their constituents instead of worrying about being accountable to the actual people, which were the state legislatures. 0.98

00:23:34.000 So, Raphael Warnock goes around talking about the 1619 project as if that is the top concern of the people of Georgia.

00:23:42.000 Now, you might say, well, Charlie, he's going to have to face an election.

00:23:44.000 Well, of course he will.

00:23:47.000 But in those massive statewide elections, it's far less about the daily and monthly accountability that the state legislatures used to have in place.

00:23:58.000 So, just to give you some example of this, the state legislatures, they used to recall senators all the time.

00:24:05.000 They used to say that you are not currently representing the needs, wants, and interests of the state of Georgia.

00:24:12.000 You're not currently representing the needs, wants, and interests of the state of North Carolina or of Texas.

00:24:19.000 So, Raphael Warnock is able to be this almost pseudo-national figure, which was never what the founding fathers intended.

00:24:26.000 The founding fathers wanted the Senate to be a reflection of the states, and most importantly, the state legislative body, because that's where the most power actually is.

00:24:37.000 It's the closest to the people, it's the greatest reflection of the rights people hold near and dear.

00:24:42.000 Not that these senators become these national figures more focused on federal government than states' rights and state government.

00:24:51.000 The 17th Amendment, I believe, is one of the biggest reasons over the last 100 years we have seen our freedom and liberty, our nation, our home, and our culture deteriorated.

00:25:04.000 Because there's no recall mechanism.

00:25:06.000 There used to be a recall mechanism where Raphael Warnock would get a call right now from the state legislature: like, hey, you keep it up with the 1619 nonsense.

00:25:14.000 We're recalling you and we're taking you out.

00:25:16.000 You're done.

00:25:17.000 And he'd calm down a little bit, and then he'd focus on what Georgia actually wanted.

00:25:22.000 And the Founding Fathers were worried as they were writing the Federalist Papers.

00:25:26.000 They were worried as they were creating a federated system, a centralized system, because they needed to have something.

00:25:32.000 The Articles of Confederation just weren't working.

00:25:35.000 They're having legitimate insurrections. 1.00

00:25:38.000 There was Shays Rebellion.

00:25:39.000 There was a lot of problems brewing.

00:25:41.000 And so they called the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787, and it almost didn't work.

00:25:46.000 You needed the states' agreement.

00:25:48.000 You needed unanimity.

00:25:49.000 You needed every state to sign on to it.

00:25:52.000 And or else you wouldn't have a republic.

00:25:54.000 You wouldn't have a union.

00:25:54.000 You'd just have a Confederated States.

00:25:56.000 And the power of the entire colonies would have just been diffused, and probably it would have been conquered by Britain 20 or 30 years later, and the whole American Revolution would have been for naught, which is one of the main reasons why the Founding Fathers went over and above to try to make overtures to the slave-owning states, which gets highly criticized by the intelligentsia today, even though those reforms, the Three Fifths Clause, were blows to the slave states, not boons to the slave states. 0.59

00:26:21.000 Different topic for a different time.

00:26:23.000 But the Founding Fathers in the Constitutional Convention were very worried that the federal government would kind of take a life of its own.

00:26:32.000 You have to understand that the way we view government right now is so overly national.

00:26:39.000 It's hard for us to even comprehend how the founding fathers first viewed government.

00:26:43.000 They viewed it in Aristotelian terms.

00:26:45.000 That first there's the individual, then there's the family.

00:26:48.000 It's very important.

00:26:49.000 They talked about this at length.

00:26:51.000 Individual family, then there's the community, the city, then the state, and then the nation.

00:26:56.000 It goes up from there.

00:26:58.000 And so, first and foremost, you're an individual, and your rights must be protected.

00:27:02.000 And the family, those rights must be protected.

00:27:05.000 Then the local community, those rights must be protected.

00:27:07.000 And as you get further and further out, there's the greater threat that all of a sudden that a widespread boot on the neck style tyranny could crush every single level of existence.

00:27:19.000 So, the founders, the biggest fear when they were creating the legislative branch, when they were creating the House of Representatives in the Senate, the fear they had is that the U.S. Senate would become nothing more than an instrument of trying to justify the expansive powers of the federal government.

00:27:37.000 And so, you have the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers.

00:27:40.000 I don't think the Anti-Federalist papers get enough love.

00:27:42.000 The Anti-Federalist papers were largely pushed by Thomas Jefferson and others.

00:27:47.000 They made some great points.

00:27:48.000 I think that they were wrong on certain things, obviously, the Federalist Papers.

00:27:51.000 One, but the Anti-Federalists warned that one day you are going to have swarms of demagogues promising things they can't ever fulfill, preying on the best intentions and the desires of the masses to erode your freedom and liberty and break the back of the union.

00:28:08.000 I mean, isn't that what we're living through right now?

00:28:11.000 It's as if the founding fathers had a fear.

00:28:14.000 And so, then the Federalists, James Madison, and Hamilton said, okay, I hear you.

00:28:19.000 Here's what we're going to do: we're going to empower and have the U.S. Senate be nothing more than a mirror of the state legislature.

00:28:27.000 And so that the state legislature will basically have a representative in the Senate, which is called a senator.

00:28:33.000 And the anti-federalists and the smaller states, like Delaware and Connecticut, which actually Connecticut was rather populated, but Vermont, they said, okay, we can live with that.

00:28:47.000 It was under Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution, that a member of Congress shall be removed from office before the normal expiration of his or her constitutional term by expulsion or from the House of Representatives upon a formal vote of resolution agreed to by two-thirds members of the body president voting.

00:29:03.000 And it also could be removed by the state.

00:29:07.000 That the state could recall their own senators and they could replace them.

00:29:14.000 Look, now more than ever, it's important to support companies that are brave enough to stand up for the values we need to be fighting for.

00:29:19.000 It takes a lot of guts in the midst of canceled culture to risk your business.

00:29:22.000 One company keeps coming forward with meaningful messaging and support of core American values, and that's Eggard Watches.

00:29:30.000 You need to go check out their story.

00:29:31.000 They made a powerful video humanizing police during the defund movement.

00:29:36.000 Oh, and by the way, they design unbelievably beautiful and affordable watches.

00:29:40.000 They're gorgeous.

00:29:41.000 If you aren't currently looking for a watch or accessories, then still go to their site and watch the short conservative films.

00:29:47.000 The CEO, Elon, was awarded the Fox Patriot Courage Award specifically to celebrate his very public effort to show support for American police officers.

00:29:57.000 Elon gave us a great discount of 15% off to share with you by using the code Kirk.

00:30:04.000 So that's eggguardwatches.com.

00:30:06.000 Check them out.

00:30:07.000 They love their country.

00:30:08.000 Do it now.

00:30:14.000 If you go into Midland, Texas, and you try to run for office and you say that you are going to ban fracking and you are going to ban meat, would you be able to win an election?

00:30:26.000 If you go into Brooklyn, New York, and you say you are going to mandate AR-15 ownership and try to increase the amount of pickup trucks, would you be able to win an election?

00:30:40.000 The answer to both, of course, is no.

00:30:43.000 Why?

00:30:44.000 Well, the Founding Fathers realized as they created the Constitution, which is basically a local document, first and foremost.

00:30:52.000 It's local.

00:30:52.000 It builds up to its ultimate purpose of a necessary, small, nimble, yet effective federal government.

00:31:00.000 That there's differences between the needs, wants, and concerns of the people of Virginia and the people of Connecticut.

00:31:05.000 And those must be respected and must have some sort of representation in the federal government because there's power in the union, there's power in that commerce, there's power in having a nationwide experiment.

00:31:15.000 But the differences between states are stark and dramatic.

00:31:18.000 And one of the reasons why you feel like you're losing your country is because your own local area has basically been steamrolled by some sort of nationalized, utopian, multi-thousand-mile-away agenda and worldview that is so distant from actually how you live.

00:31:39.000 So the Constitution was supposed to protect us from this.

00:31:41.000 And the 17th Amendment basically eliminated a lot of those protections.

00:31:46.000 But remember, the Constitution and the American Revolution that preceded it.

00:31:52.000 And again, it's important that the Constitution was basically the culmination of many events.

00:31:57.000 And it wasn't even finished in just the Constitution.

00:32:00.000 There was a whole four-year period where the Constitution went without its own Bill of Rights.

00:32:05.000 And so the first was, of course, the Declaration and then the Northwest Ordinance.

00:32:09.000 No, Declaration, then Articles of Confederation, Northwest Ordinance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights.

00:32:15.000 The Northwest Ordinance, by the way, we talked about that a lot here.

00:32:18.000 It was, it's very important.

00:32:20.000 If anyone ever tells you America was systemically racist, you want to sound very smart and very educated, just say, go look up Article 6 of the Northwest Ordinance.

00:32:30.000 I encourage all of you to do that.

00:32:31.000 Go look up Article 6 of the Northwest Ordinance.

00:32:33.000 The Northwest Ordinance was 500,000 square miles of new land of Ohio and Indiana and Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

00:32:43.000 500,000 square miles.

00:32:47.000 And Article 6 said very clearly that there will be no slaves in the Northwest Territories.

00:32:57.000 Anyone who says America was founded on slavery is lying pathologically.

00:33:01.000 And this was, you know what's so amazing?

00:33:03.000 Is that the Northwest Ordinance was approved by even slave states.

00:33:07.000 It had unanimous consent.

00:33:09.000 Even South Carolina came to the table and they approved the fact that the Northwest Territories would be free territories.

00:33:14.000 Why?

00:33:16.000 Well, before the villain of American history, John C. Calhoun, came onto the scene, slave states actually were beginning to admit that the slave trade was sunsetting.

00:33:26.000 That in the Constitution, there was a literal sunset provision to the slave trade.

00:33:30.000 So the slave states said, you know what?

00:33:32.000 We're losing this battle.

00:33:33.000 And it wasn't until John C. Calhoun, who decided to declare war on the American founding principles of freedom and equality and said, was really the original author of identity politics.

00:33:43.000 If there's a couple people that you should know that your children are learning to think like, it's John C. Calhoun, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Bedford Forrest, and Nicole Hannah Jones.

00:33:52.000 Write those three words down.

00:33:54.000 John C. Calhoun, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Nicole Hannah Jones.

00:33:58.000 They all think the same, that skin color matters. 0.90

00:34:00.000 Everything's a power struggle. 0.99

00:34:01.000 We might as well win.

00:34:03.000 The American idea was different than that.

00:34:05.000 But the Constitution was a local document.

00:34:08.000 And so what do you actually do about that?

00:34:11.000 The only way that you can make the Constitution spring to life is when you start to actually get involved in the local domain.

00:34:20.000 We are way too focused on Washington, D.C. As you notice, we don't talk about it very much here.

00:34:24.000 We don't talk about Senate bills and House resolutions.

00:34:29.000 If it really is important, we'll talk about it.

00:34:30.000 It's sort of boring.

00:34:32.000 And honestly, it's so distant from what I think is actually going to retake the country, which is normal people doing what the founding fathers thought would be the safeguard of our freedom against tyranny.

00:34:43.000 The localized, first the individual, then the family, then the city, then the state, then the federal.

00:34:52.000 So it starts with you, then your family, and then the local area.

00:34:56.000 And the Constitution still has multiple amounts of provisions to protect that and allow that to continue.

00:35:02.000 There's a lot more I wanted to get to about this, but Raphael Warnock got me into that direction today.

00:35:07.000 So that's the reason.

00:35:08.000 That's where we decided to go.

00:35:10.000 And if we still had the 17th, if we didn't have the 17th Amendment, he would be recalled quickly, as he should.
