00:01:43.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:50.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:21.000So they got that Ted Nugent energy there.
00:03:25.000We're getting some tape of it, but it's starting to happen all across the country.
00:03:28.000And if you have stories of students starting to rise up against mask mandates, you guys can email us anytime freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:03:36.000We also have Turning Point USA chapter leaders who are politely protesting the hypocritical masking of students for young, low-risk students when leaders of their state like Gavin Newsom and Mayor Eric Garcetti have been photographed recently not wearing masks while posing with celebrities at SoFi Stadium.
00:03:56.000Our Turning Point USA students are beginning to fight back against this, and our high school chapters across the country at Turning Point USA are now pushing back against this.
00:04:05.000At Laverne, Turning Point USA students, 80 students are segregated into a gym for not wearing masks.
00:04:13.000And remember that girl in Naperville, Illinois that gave that incredible school board speech?
00:04:19.000She reached out to us and said, I just want you to know that the lawsuit that stated it was illegal to force kids to wear masks in school just passed.
00:04:26.000However, my district, along with a few others, have gone against the court ruling, right?
00:04:31.000Schools think they're above the law and said that we'll need to wear masks.
00:04:34.000So my friends and I have gone into school without a mask because it's legal, and they put us in a classroom and refused to let us go to class.
00:04:40.000I just thought I'd let you know so you can go bring attention to it if you want.
00:06:02.000So it's Stacey Abrams sitting right in the middle, surrounded by about 25 elementary school kids, all wearing masks perfectly, while Stacey Abrams remains maskless.
00:06:17.000And Stacey Abrams with this kind of weird, giddy smile, while all 25 children around her remain completely and totally maskless.
00:06:29.000Now, her campaign has come out and said, it is shameful that our opponents are using a Black History Month reading event for Georgia children as the impetus for a false political attack.
00:06:42.000And it is pitiful and predictable that our opponents continue to look for opportunities to distract from their failed records when it comes from protecting public health during the pandemic.
00:06:55.000Get some really good lawyers because I've seen some evidence in Dinesh D'Souza's movie that you're going to have some serious criminal explaining to do.
00:07:05.000Why is it that the mules that were dropping off ballots in Georgia also kept on showing up to your headquarters that you were running?
00:07:12.000Why is it that they would go to your office first and then go to 10, 20, 30, 40 drop boxes after that?
00:07:30.000Were you Mark Elias' lieutenant on the ground in Georgia to make this all happen?
00:07:35.000Stacey Abrams, I'd be a lot less worried about Black History Month reading lessons and more worried about whether or not you're going to have to spend some time for not just a felony, but creating a potential criminal conspiracy of ballot trafficking in a battleground state in not just one, but two elections 60 days apart.
00:07:52.000But then Stacey Abrams actually came out that she told the kids to wear a mask so that when she was around, she felt safer when they were wearing masks.
00:08:05.000So the children wear masks, but she does not.
00:08:10.000When you see this picture, it is rage-inducing.
00:08:14.000I honestly thought the picture wasn't real.
00:08:17.000I thought it was a manufactured artificial picture.
00:08:42.000But politically, she probably wants the day back because now she's going to lose a week or two having to deal with this issue, which is for the most part a non-issue.
00:09:19.000School board members that have continued these mask mandates have failed the children.
00:09:24.000Parents that have allowed these mask mandates to continue have failed the children.
00:09:28.000Now, there's some phenomenal parents out there that have been fighting and fighting and fighting in Chicago and other places.
00:09:34.000But there's way too many parents that have been passive, that have been compliant with this total garbage.
00:09:43.000And we're starting to see the bubbling up and the reaction in response to that.
00:09:49.000So if you cannot cancel people through traditional means, such as using the law, then you're going to use corporate means.
00:09:58.000So James O'Keefe is a great example of this.
00:10:00.000It's a smaller example than the one that we've used.
00:10:02.000I shouldn't say smaller, but it's an individual example.
00:10:04.000They kicked James O'Keefe off of almost every single social media site because he was willing to tell the truth.
00:10:10.000And they also stormed his apartment using the Federal Bureau of Investigation to try to find a diary.
00:10:17.000You see, the strategy of cancellation has now broadened outside of just using the law, but also using companies.
00:10:25.000Now, activists that sit on their computer all day long and try to pressure these companies to do these things, they're usually very well funded by left-wing groups to try and destabilize or destroy any sort of means of survival for conservative or freedom-loving groups.
00:10:52.000So GoFundMe is supposed to be, if you've never heard of GoFundMe before, it's a website where you can say, okay, I want to raise $10,000 to help me go to college, or I want to raise $15,000 to pay for my surgery, or I want to pay $25,000 to go send this group of kids to Spain or whatever.
00:11:09.000There's all sorts of different ways to do it.
00:11:11.000Now, GoFundMe is a place where you can crowdfund and then have the money released once it hits its goal.
00:11:18.000So there was a GoFundMe that was created to support the Canadian truckers.
00:11:23.000The Canadian truckers raised over $10 million and they were supposed to release that money.
00:11:39.000GoFundMe said they are not going to give the money to the Canadian truckers.
00:11:43.000So GoFundMe did not even return the money to the donors.
00:11:48.000Instead, they said they are going to give the money to organizations approved and verified by the Freedom Convoy organizers instead of refunding the donations.
00:12:00.000The move sparked immediate outcry, including by Ron DeSantis, who said Saturday that the Florida's Attorney General will investigate GoFundMe.
00:12:10.000You can't just raise a bunch of money as a company and do something completely different with it.
00:12:15.000Senator Ted Cruz said, today I sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking that the FTC open an investigation into GoFundMe into whether they've committed deceptive trade practices.
00:12:26.000The types of company you use and that you go and you put your money behind matter.
00:12:32.000So for example, GoFundMe is a woke left-wing company.
00:12:45.000You have been warned, hard stop, do not give them money.
00:12:48.000Do not support causes there and do not start new causes there.
00:12:52.000But when you look at what companies you want to use and you want to say, I want to support companies that support good causes, I could tell you one that does.
00:13:02.000I could tell you Patriot Mobile is fully in the trenches with you.
00:13:06.000That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
00:13:11.000They offer broad nationwide coverage because they use the same towers as the major carriers.
00:13:15.000You get the same great service, plus your money is not supporting the left.
00:13:19.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:13:26.000More importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations that are fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, and sanctity of life.

00:13:43.000Support a company that loves America, loves you, and shares your values.
00:13:53.000So if you look at your cell phone bill, it might be $100, $200, or $300 a month.
00:13:57.000Do you know what percentage of that is going to go fund BLM?
00:14:00.000A percentage of that is going to go fund vaccine mandates?
00:14:03.000Because if you use the big companies, the big uglies, their profits go towards supporting the enemy.
00:14:10.000Patriot Mobile, any sort of profit that they make goes to support Turning Point USA, goes to support the Charlie Kirk show, goes to support the March for Life.
00:14:18.000That's what Patriot Mobile is all about.
00:14:20.000It's to give you affordable service, to save you money, and any of the extra money that they make, the profit, if you will, goes towards supporting good causes.
00:14:29.000That's why I'm so passionate about the Patriots at Patriot Mobile, so that your money goes towards people you care about.
00:14:39.000Go to patriotmobile.com slash Charlie, patriotmobile.com slash Charlie.
00:14:48.000You've heard me talk about how important it is to have a VPN to protect your online privacy, but choosing a VPN you trust is equally as important.
00:14:54.000Now, I like to do my own research on my sponsors, and I only recommend brands to my listeners that I believe in.
00:15:00.000I could say with full confidence that ExpressVPN is the best VPN on the market.
00:16:28.000I'm being told that there are police being deployed to try to break up the truckers.
00:16:31.000What's going on in the ground in Ottawa?
00:16:34.000Well, starting just before midnight last night, hundreds of riot police, many with large weapons in their hands, started going around Ottawa seizing diesel fuel, little jerry cans of diesel fuel.
00:16:49.000They made arrests and handed out hundreds of tickets too.
00:16:59.000So these truckers who are sleeping in their cabs of their trucks, they need the diesel fuel to run their trucks to stay warm, to stay alive, really.
00:17:07.000So without a court order, without a search warrant, these police at gunpoint literally started collecting hundreds of jerry cans to freeze out or even starve out the protesters.
00:17:21.000I say again, there has been no court order.
00:17:47.000If the police force takes something without color of right, that's theft.
00:17:51.000But that's life under an authoritarian regime.
00:17:55.000And I hate to say it because I love Canada, born and raised here, but we're becoming more and more like a banana republic under the hands of Justin Trudeau.
00:18:03.000And you can see that when they seized the power for their lockdowns, it wasn't for public health.
00:18:09.000It was just so they could run this country in an authoritarian manner.
00:18:37.000In Canada, what's the process to try to rectify that?
00:18:41.000Well, you mentioned checks and balances.
00:18:44.000In the United States, you have a number of them.
00:18:46.000Your Supreme Court has stopped some of the worst lockdown rules.
00:18:50.000You have 50 different states which have different approaches.
00:18:54.000You've got the Ron DeSantis approach on the Liberty end of the spectrum, and you have the New York approach on the other end, let's say.
00:19:01.000But in Canada, we have 10 provinces that's our analog to your states.
00:19:05.000Unfortunately, all 10 provinces are lockdown provinces.
00:19:10.000And both at the federal government and the provincial level, every governing party and every opposition party is in favor of the lockdowns.
00:20:22.000But if every single knot in the net breaks at the same time, you have a total system failure.
00:20:28.000Every single node in our Canadian establishment has failed simultaneously.
00:20:35.000And that's why we're slipping into that Venezuela-style form of government that Justin Trudeau has explicitly praised.
00:20:42.000I think you know that he's always been a fan of Castro, that he said communist China is the country he quote most admires because of its basic dictatorship.
00:21:46.000We have a multi-party parliamentary system.
00:21:49.000So, Trudeau won the last election with only 32% of the vote.
00:21:53.000So, it's quite rich for him to say that anyone who criticizes him is a fringe majority when 68% of Canadians who voted didn't vote for him at all.
00:22:04.000I should say that the latest polls show that the truckers, 32% of Canadians, say they see themselves in the truckers.
00:22:13.000So, if the truckers were a political party, they would immediately be at the top of the polls in Canada.
00:22:20.000So, that's a bit of a political earthquake.
00:22:22.000These truckers, by the way, they weren't organized by any political party.
00:22:34.000And over the course of time, probably 100,000 trucks joined.
00:22:39.000Some came and went, some went to different parts of the country.
00:22:42.000And along the roads, maybe a million Canadians went out to see them, to wave at them, to cheer them on.
00:22:49.000So much so that the Canadian province of Nova Scotia passed a health order.
00:22:53.000Again, no debate in a legislature, just issued an executive order that it is illegal to stand by the road to quote support the trucker convoy.
00:23:07.000And the words support and trucker convoy are specifically named.
00:23:10.000So you can go to the side of the road to oppose the trucker convoy.
00:23:15.000You can go to the side of the road to oppose or support any other thing you want.
00:23:22.000But the government of Nova Scotia specifically made it illegal to support this trucker convoy.
00:23:38.000And, you know, Canadians have a different culture than Americans, but I've always said the Constitutional Republic system is the gold standard.
00:23:49.000And, you know, in Canada, you haven't really had these kind of tensions of speech.
00:23:54.000Recently, Jordan Peterson tried to warn against a lot of this a couple of years ago, to his great credit.
00:23:59.000But in America, the idea that they would restrain you from going to a protest, we're starting to see a little bit of that here and there, but courts just wouldn't allow that to happen.
00:24:09.000And don't, again, please excuse my lack of understanding here, but from what I understand, Canada does not have the same sort of robust First Amendment protections like we do in America.
00:24:18.000It's just there isn't a constitutional system that recognizes natural rights and separation of powers and an independent judiciary and consent to the governed.
00:24:28.000These are all characteristics that make our constitution work and allow our civilization to succeed.
00:24:34.000Talk about how, since you don't have that, it's just basically Trudeau's candidate.
00:25:06.000But the thing about our Charter of Rights, which is different from your American Bill of Rights, is your First Amendment is for free speech.
00:25:13.000Your Second Amendment is the firearms.
00:25:15.000I won't try and teach you about your laws, but what's our first section of our Constitution?
00:25:53.000Point one is a giant loophole that says if the government thinks it's a pressing and substantial reason to limit it that's rationally connected to some purpose, they can go ahead and violate your rights.
00:26:08.000So before they even list your rights in section two, section one of our charter of rights says, well, maybe you can have them and maybe you can't.
00:26:17.000It's almost like what follows after section one doesn't count.
00:26:21.000It's almost like there's a pandemic clause in our constitution.
00:26:27.000Whenever the government calls in an emergency, they can suspend our rights.
00:26:30.000I don't want to oversimplify things, but I say again, in two years, not a single court case brought anywhere in Canada has had a substantive victory stopping the lockdowns.
00:26:42.000And here's a quick example of how extreme the lockdowns are.
00:26:45.000The province of Quebec, wonderful place, eight and a half million people, very large province.
00:26:51.000They had curfews from 10 p.m. till 5 a.m., as if it was a province of children.
00:27:17.000I want to explore with you the Canadian temperament and the psychology of a Canadian that puts up with this.
00:27:24.000Whether you think there's anything to that, because there is this kind of stereotype, a positive stereotype that Canadians are nice and overly magnanimous and peace-seeking.
00:27:36.000The friendly Canadian, and whether or not that kind of plays into the naivete of tyranny that allows it all of a sudden for a smug teenager-looking Fidel Castro lookalike to govern from his lake house and keep the nice people at home because they don't quite have the muscle memory to fight against tyranny.
00:27:56.000Whereas we, as Americans, kind of in our blood, we are good at it.
00:28:00.000Not all of us, by the way, but there's plenty of us that don't put up with this nonsense.
00:28:04.000And I just want to reiterate for our American listeners: this is the difference between having an American Constitution and a Canadian Constitution.
00:28:11.000It's not an insult to Canada, it's just a big difference.
00:28:15.000And God bless our founding fathers so long ago that saw these sort of moves that were going to happen and prevented against it.
00:28:24.000Look, with all the different makes and models of cars, it can be very confusing.
00:29:07.000Their prices are reliably low at rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do.
00:29:15.000Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:29:21.000Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:29:25.000Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low.
00:29:28.000Go to rockauto.com right now to see all the parts available for your car or truck.
00:29:32.000We're at Charlie Kirk and the How Did You Hear About Us?
00:29:45.000Can you explain to me whether or not the Canadian temperament has anything to do with this?
00:29:50.000Kind of the agreeable, nice, magnanimous people that all of a sudden can be quickly transitioned into subservient serfs under an authoritarian government.
00:30:35.000Trouble is, you need your government to have a light touch.
00:30:39.000We haven't had a light touch over the last two years.
00:30:41.000And too many Canadians have obediently worn masks, bent the knee, accepted curfews.
00:30:48.000And we haven't had that same check and balance system.
00:30:51.000Like I say, we don't have a Ron DeSantis up here.
00:30:53.000We don't have any difference between our conservative and liberal parties here.
00:30:58.000I think, though, that these truckers have shown that there is a deeper part of Canada that wants to be free, that remembers how we were before, perhaps.
00:31:08.000And these truckers have been a physical manifestation of that.
00:32:25.000So when Trudeau denounces them as racist and sexist, it doesn't really stick because there's many Sikh truckers wearing their Sikh turbans.
00:32:33.000And for Trudeau to call them white nationalists, as he has, it's just laughable.
00:32:38.000Like it might work against a middle-aged white male conservative politician, but when a young Sikh trucker is called racist, he sort of laughs.
00:32:46.000A lot of women are against vaccine mandates.
00:32:48.000I mean, remember what these trucker protests is about.
00:32:51.000Trudeau said you cannot be a trucker crossing the border without a vaccine.
00:32:56.000Truckers are one of the most isolated jobs there is.
00:33:00.000I mean, you're in your cab by yourself for days on end.
00:33:40.000Although there was someone who rammed a trucker protest if it were the other way around, if a trucker had rammed someone, that would be world news.
00:33:49.000But it was a Trudeau supporting leftist who rammed four truckers.
00:33:56.000So it's been a very peaceful Canadian style protest, but there is the flame of freedom burning.
00:34:02.000I hear the word freedom being chanted more in the last two weeks than in my entire life.
00:34:06.000I see people of all racial and religious backgrounds chanting freedom.
00:34:10.000It's actually been a moment of tremendous unity.
00:34:12.000I've never been this optimistic about the Canadian spirit.
00:34:15.000Now, whether or not that's enough to break the government domination is another question, but I think Canada has rediscovered the phrase to true north, strong and free.
