00:00:42.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:32.000And then I went and got my PhD in literature at Louisiana State University, worked as the press secretary for Mike Foster, who won as the insurgent populist candidate for governor.
00:03:45.000The COVID panic experiment was designed to beat learned helplessness into us the way they do with beagles in Fauci's cruel and destructive labs.
00:03:58.000Many Americans were willing to give away their rights with both hands.
00:04:04.000You can have riots, but because they're anti-racist, they promote public health.
00:04:08.000But you can say my political meetings are super spreader events.
00:04:12.000You can say my churches are inessential, but your liquor stores, strip joints, and abortion clinics are essential so they stay open.
00:04:20.000And you can dump virus patients in nursing homes where they kill tens of thousands of American veterans and grandmothers, but you keep healthy, vigorous kids home from school.
00:04:32.000And you can use the death statistics that you've pumped up by dumping virus patients in nursing homes.
00:04:39.000You can use that to say there's a state of emergency like Whitmer did in Michigan, Cuomo did in New York, Newsom did in California.
00:04:49.000In Michigan, she locked everyone in their homes.
00:04:52.000She had people arrested for taking going out alone on a boat in the middle of a lake.
00:05:14.000So you connect the liberal Christian aspect of this.
00:05:18.000So kind of square that, put that all together.
00:05:20.000During the COVID panic, Andrew Cuomo tried to seize America, New Yorkers' guns, claiming that they were part of the same public health crisis as COVID.
00:05:30.000The rhetoric that gun grabbers are using is constantly that of public health.
00:05:42.000If they can take away your right to congregate, to go to church, to have a political meeting, they can also take away your right to carry a gun.
00:06:28.000America's founders, 90% of whom were Orthodox Christians, Calvinists, or a few Catholic, 90% of them were Orthodox Christians.
00:06:39.000They believed that people had the God-given right to rebel against a tyrannical government.
00:06:45.000They'd seen the English do that in 1640 and 1688.
00:06:51.000Now, America's Second Amendment was lifted almost word for word from the English Bill of Rights of 1690.
00:07:00.000That was the Bill of Rights when they overthrew King James II because they were afraid he would impose Catholicism on the country by force.
00:07:07.000They brought in his daughter Mary and her husband William, who would be Protestant monarchs, who would govern with parliament controlling them, a constitutional monarchy.
00:07:17.000And one of the conditions of them getting the throne was they had to sign this Bill of Rights.
00:07:23.000And one of the items on that Bill of Rights was that no Protestant could be denied the right to have firearms.
00:07:29.000They specified Protestant because Calvinists, Puritans, low church Anglicans had been persecuted under Charles I and Charles II, and they were afraid of a king persecuting them, closing their churches, killing them, as has happened as the King Louis XIV had done to Protestants in France.
00:07:49.000So the connection between religious freedom and gun rights was right there in the English Bill of Rights.
00:07:55.000They imported it almost word for word to our Second Amendment.
00:07:58.000And every one of our founders, the Federalists, the Anti-Federalists, the Deists, the Augustinian, the Catholic, all agreed that gun rights were fundamental.
00:08:08.000They were the backup plan, the sprayed glass in case of emergency clause that would prevent a tyranny from ever coming to power in America.
00:08:19.000And James Madison actually said, if all the checks and balances, all the constitutional guarantees fail, at least you'll have an armed citizenry, a militia of 2 million that would prevent a tyranny from taking charge.
00:08:35.000In the 20th century, actually between 1914 and 1990, more than 170 million civilians were murdered intentionally by their governments around the world, not including war casualties.
00:08:47.000And they only had one thing in common.
00:08:50.000This was documented by R.J. Rummel in his book, Death by Government.
00:08:53.000The one common factor of those 170 million victims, they had all been disarmed by the government first.
00:09:00.000Now, liberal Christians who don't believe fundamentally in the traditional Christian worldview, they've read Darwin and they take Darwin seriously.
00:09:10.000They believe that we just kind of evolved accidentally from apes and somehow we can still be Christians, even if we believe that God had nothing to do with man evolving.
00:09:22.000We Christians, we can't say how the world really works.
00:09:45.000It doesn't have, it's not a glimmer of the divine spark.
00:09:49.000It's just like a termite in a colony that should obey the queen.
00:09:54.000These Christians, like the Catholic Archbishop of New Mexico, of Santa Fe, who's the only person to support the gun grab by the governor of New Mexico.
00:10:04.000I mean, David Hogg condemned it on Twitter as being too over the top.
00:10:09.000David Hogg thought this was too radical.
00:10:12.000Her own sheriff, her own attorney general wouldn't defend it in court, wouldn't enforce it.
00:11:30.000That now ties in the liberal archbishop.
00:11:33.000Orthodox Christianity says that man has a fundamental dignity.
00:11:37.000He has the right to push back against tyranny.
00:11:39.000It also says that man lives on a very narrow road between heaven and hell.
00:11:45.000And we're walking on one of two paths.
00:11:47.000And every moment we're walking one direction or another towards God or towards destruction.
00:11:52.000It says that there's a set of rules that is written on our heart, the natural law, in addition to what was revealed in the Bible and through church tradition about how we're supposed to live.
00:12:04.000These are very stark and demanding claims, and they sometimes lead the church to get persecuted by the government.
00:12:11.000As the Catholics were persecuted in Poland under communism, the Orthodox in Russia, Christians in Germany by Hitler, those who were willing to stand up, those who were willing to denounce the Holocaust.
00:12:24.000But in Germany, there were a lot of German Christians who were willing to just go along, just keep their voices down and just sing their hymns a little louder and just stick to the gospel, not preach about politics.
00:12:36.000And those are the people who, according to Eric Bonhoeffer, made the Nazi regime and ultimately the Holocaust possible because they took their faith and put it in a safe little velvet box and put it up on a shelf.
00:12:50.000When our churches closed for the COVID tyranny, when the Vatican said that an abortion-tainted vaccine that could only exist because of organs stolen from an aborted baby, when it said Catholics all should get that vaccine, when countless pastors, even conservative evangelical pastors, demanded that everybody get this vaccine, I call it the dead baby vax, they were surrendering.
00:13:21.000We don't really think Christianity is fundamentally important.
00:13:25.000We don't really think it's worth taking any risks that might irritate the government, might get our nonprofit contracts with the federal government canceled, that might get us investigated, that might get our tax exemption threatened.
00:13:38.000No, we are chaplains of the regime, just the way the patriotic church in communist China is.
00:13:46.000It doesn't push back against the government.
00:13:49.000So if you are that kind of liberal Christian who doesn't believe in heaven and hell, but is obsessed with the IRS and federal nonprofit contracts, you want everybody to be a timid declawed cat, a placid little veel calf just like you, letting the nice people from the government push them around as if we were animals and only those in the government and the elites were actual human beings.
00:14:18.000So, John, that begs the question, and I just want to make sure everyone understands, sing your hymns a little louder.
00:14:24.000That's a real thing that happened as the trains were going by churches, as the trains were bringing Jews to concentration camps.
00:14:31.000The churches, this is a real story, they would increase the volume of their hymns to drown out the noise of what they knew was evil.
00:14:40.000There's a powerful film that my good friend Jason Jones helped to make called Sing a Little Louder, and it depicts this anecdote.
00:14:49.000A German remembered and told the story 20 years later of they had a church right by the train tracks leading from Germany into Poland where the extermination camps were.
00:15:03.000And so the cars were there and you could hear these women and children and old men, some of them heroic war veterans who fought for Germany in World War I, some of them with iron crosses, whom Hitler had criminally arrested and was deporting to murder in Poland.
00:15:22.000And it was disrupting this nice, peaceful Sunday Lutheran church service.
00:15:27.000And some people were thinking, should we go out and help them?
00:15:31.000And the pastor knew that would just be suicide.
00:15:34.000It would get them all killed and it wouldn't even help the Jews because they'd all be dead.
00:15:38.000So he just had them sing their hymns about Christian compassion and mercy a little bit louder to drown out the sounds of the Jews on their way to being murdered.
00:15:50.000When our churches shoved an experimental vaccine in our arm that we didn't need, that wouldn't prevent transmission, that might in some cases diminish some symptoms that had untold, unknowable side effects because it had never been tested.
00:16:08.000When they gave it to pregnant women, knowing that's dangerous, when they forced people to take an experimental drug against their will in violation of the Nuremberg principles invented after World War II to prevent Nazi-style experimentation on humans, they were singing a little louder.
00:16:26.000When churches don't try to protect the unborn, when they don't try to protect all of our rights, including our right to defend ourselves against violence or against a tyrannical government, they are singing a little louder.
00:16:40.000They're singing a little louder, trying to drown out the transification of kids, the chemical castration of kids.
00:16:46.000And in fact, it's even worse than that, John.
00:16:48.000And we're going to play some pieces of tape of the churches that are then flying the equivalent of the Nazi flag today.
00:16:59.000If you guys love this program and you want to support this program, if we have impacted or blessed your life in any way, I want to tell you about a new thing that we are starting it up.
00:17:08.000First of all, if you have supported us at charliekirk.com/slash support, nothing to worry about.
00:17:13.000You guys are going to be moved on over.
00:17:15.000If you want to support us even more and say, hey, I want exclusive content.
00:17:51.000Head to members.charliekirk.com today.
00:17:54.000Yes, there's going to be a lot of goodies, a lot of engagement, a lot of fun stuff.
00:17:57.000But even more than that, if you feel moved and compelled that our show is impacting you and impacting the world, it would mean a lot if you became a member at members.charliekirk.com.
00:18:10.000So, John, I want to play a piece of tape here of the American church worse than just singing louder, drowning out the noise.
00:18:18.000No, it is a full, this is the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, which I would find hard to believe.
00:18:25.000I don't think this is a Catholic church.
00:18:32.000We recognize that all people are made in the loving image of God, no matter who they are, how they dress and express themselves, or who they love.
00:18:43.000We celebrate this divine university and commit to lifting up the voices of the LGBT and creating spaces.
00:19:07.000We honor their strength and blessed to be allies to the drag community, recognizing their full humanity and their incredible contributions to our world.
00:19:20.000We embrace radical inclusivity and work to dismantle systems of oppression who fight against all forms of hate and prejudice and violence in order to build the world that learns that celebrates every person's beach, identity, and that is indistinguishable, John, from...
00:19:49.000These people, they could be at a bar drinking whiskey and watching horse racing.
00:19:54.000They could be doing anything more fun than this grim, miserable ritual of worship before the infernal trinity of Caesar, Mammon, and Sodom.
00:20:08.000This is one of those dead mainline Protestant churches that started, first of all, they embraced Darwinism and said, Genesis is not true on any level.
00:20:19.000So God didn't really make man on purpose.
00:20:23.000So we didn't really need Jesus to come save us from anything.
00:20:27.000His death on the cross was just an avoidable tragedy, and it was a real shame.
00:20:32.000He didn't really rise from the dead, but he comes to life in our spirit when we think about him, kind of like Tinkerbell.
00:20:39.000If you applaud, Tinkerbell continues to float around.
00:20:43.000So unfortunately, Pope Francis is remaking my own Catholic church on the model of these zombie mainline Protestant churches.
00:20:52.000What's really pitiful is if you look at all these people talking about human potential and unique individuality, they all support aborting babies up through the ninth month of pregnancy.
00:21:05.000These same people who are blathering on about the unique virtues and authenticity of men who strap on fake boots, these people are happy to see doctors cut open babies' brains with scissors and cut off their necks.
00:21:22.000They're happy to see their organs sold by Planned Parenthood to organ trafficking companies and used to make things like the COVID vaccine.
00:21:31.000They've got blood on their hands dripping from their hands and they're washing it like Pontius Pilate in this watery bath of fake tolerance.
00:21:43.000The only tolerance they have is for sex deviance.
00:21:46.000They said, we don't want to condemn people because of what they wear.
00:21:50.000If I wore a Gadson flag patch or a Confederate patch, would you say the same thing that we don't want to discriminate against people because of how they dress?
00:22:00.000In fact, they want to fire people if they misgender so-called trans people.
00:22:07.000They want to control the speech, the actions, the financial transactions of everyone in the country.
00:22:16.000They're happy to see Sam Brownback stripped of his bank account by Chase Manhattan because Chase Manhattan decided they don't like his politics.
00:22:23.000These people are the court gestures of tyranny, of globalist, suffocating, micromanaging tyranny led by people like Bill Gates and George Soros.
00:22:38.000They want to control everything we say and do.
00:22:41.000They want to ban us from social media.
00:22:43.000They want to force us to have vaccines, tell us when we can send our kids to school, when we can't.
00:22:48.000They want to micromanage all of us because they think we're idiots.
00:22:52.000They think we're animals and only the elites, the people, I call them the citizens of international business class, the kind of people who go to TED Those people need to have arbitrary, unaccountable power over the rest of us.
00:23:08.000And the pretext is always now public health.
00:23:12.000If you believe in the immortality of the soul, you're not that afraid of death.
00:23:18.000If you believe that Jesus Christ has saved you, if you believe in Catholic terms, you're in a state of grace.
00:23:25.000Death is just a transition to our ultimate destiny.
00:23:33.000If you're not so sure that God exists, if you kind of hope he exists, if you don't believe in hell and you don't think there's anything to be afraid of, if you don't think that we're in a drama right now, a contest where the stakes are infinite, because therefore are immortal souls, then the thing you're going to be most afraid of is not damnation.
00:24:38.000But here's the really dangerous loophole.
00:24:43.000There are Supreme Court precedents for suspending vital constitutional rights in the face of a really serious public epidemic.
00:24:52.000Like you can ban political meetings if typhoid is spreading like crazy.
00:24:58.000They used that during COVID to take control of every aspect of our lives.
00:25:05.000Even though COVID wasn't a real pandemic, even though only a tiny percentage of the population were really at risk from death.
00:25:13.000And by the way, the people who are at risk from death were those in nursing homes and they dumped virus patients on them to kill them.
00:25:20.000I call that the blue state nursing home genocide.
00:25:23.000And if you Google that phrase, you'll see a long series of columns I wrote at stream.org, blue state nursing home genocide.
00:25:32.000So by using the public health loophole in Supreme Court case law, they decided they can override all of our rights.
00:25:42.000And now if you read the rhetoric from gun-grabbing organizations, they constantly talk about the public health menace of gun violence.
00:25:51.000When has a gun ever spontaneously shot anyone?
00:25:55.000It's human beings committing sins, committing crimes, violating the rights of other human beings who must be judged by a jury of their peers beyond a reasonable doubt and then punished in a prison or with execution.
00:26:11.000All that old-fashioned language that I'm using is the language of the Christian and Jewish world, the Judeo-Christian worldview from Middle Ages up through America's founding, really up and through the 1950s.
00:26:27.000That's when the pseudo-sciences of Darwinism and Freudianism combined with the pseudoeconomics of Marxism to create the contemporary secular postmodern worldview, which it doesn't have any real room for human dignity.
00:27:07.000So, what they do is they smuggle from Christianity a few moral taboos like racism.
00:27:16.000What is there in Darwinism that condemns racism?
00:27:19.000Darwin himself wrote to the Reverend Charles Kingsley about how someday the white race will exterminate all the lesser races and will be better off for it.
00:27:29.000His nephew, Francis Galton, created the pseudoscience of eugenics, which in America led to the forced sterilization of 60,000 Americans under people who had flunked biased IQ, culturally biased IQ tests.
00:27:44.000Laws that provided that were written by people like Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, and the Nazis actually borrowed their eugenic legislation from America, from Planned Parenthood, and they brought Harry Laughlin,
00:27:59.000Margaret Sanger's right-hand man, to Germany on a whirlwind tour and gave him an honorary degree from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, which was then Nazi-controlled, thanking him for the part that he and Planned Parenthood had played in inspiring the Nazi eugenics legislation that led to the sterilization and euthanasia of thousands of Germans who they regarded as inferior.
00:28:23.000The left doesn't want to talk about that now because it's embarrassed.
00:28:27.000But the new pseudoscience is transgenderism.
00:30:45.000Don't suppress your natural disgust at these loser, weirdo freaks who want to dress up like prostitutes in front of children.
00:30:55.000Don't suppress that natural revulsion.
00:30:58.000When your gourd rises and you want to vomit, that is God, that God made you to be disgusted by that kind of loathsome, degenerate behavior.
00:31:10.000One of the sisters of perpetual indulgence, who was honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers, was just arrested for sitting around in his car in a parking lot, masturbating.
00:31:20.000These are the kind of people that the left is trying to make into heroes.
00:31:25.000So once you recognize these people are not preaching the gospel of Christ, but the gospel of Antichrist, you need to really, really assimilate that.
00:31:42.000They are setting up a golden calf for everyone to worship.
00:31:46.000Pope Francis just promoted this priest, Antonio Spedaro, a Jesuit, who is a rabid leftist.
00:31:54.000He wrote a column in 2017 saying the whole pro-life movement and conservative Christian movement was motivated by racism against blacks.
00:32:03.000He's not trying to stop abortion, not trying to stop pornography.
00:32:07.000It's all just thinly veiled racism against blacks, even black pro-lifers, I guess.
00:32:13.000That priest, Antonio Spedaro, gave a sermon two weeks ago in which he accused Jesus Christ of committing sins.
00:32:21.000He said that Jesus Christ was a racist who was bigoted against his non-Jewish neighbors, and that the story of the Canaanite woman who asked him for a miracle to heal her daughter, when he says, you know, don't give the bread of the children of Israel to the dogs.
00:32:41.000This is a woman who's a member of the Canaanite fertility cult that used to sacrifice infants.
00:32:50.000So she is a member of a demonic religion.
00:32:52.000She doesn't know it, but she in fact worships demons.
00:32:55.000And she comes to Jesus asking for a miracle for her daughter to be healed of being possessed by one of those demons they had been worshiping in the family.
00:33:04.000And Jesus makes her jump through some hoops and then gives her a miraculous healing.
00:33:09.000Father Spedaro said this was an example of Jesus committing the sin of racism and then repenting.
00:33:16.000So these people are willing to judge Jesus.
00:34:02.000Jesus didn't get counseling and therapy that could have healed his traumatic past so that he could have been more integrated holistic and he would have been willing to dress and drag.
00:34:12.000So once you get people willing to judge and criticize Jesus Christ himself, they're not Christians.
00:34:21.000You need to just say you're not a Christian.
