00:00:47.000Critical race theory, fighting back on campus, buckle up.
00:01:05.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:13.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:26.000With the ever-increasing numbers of makes like Fiat, Kia, and models Pacifica X-T5, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.
00:01:36.000Why endure all the questioning that can be intimidating around your car and wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry?
00:01:46.000You have computers with access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
00:01:52.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money that then you can use for other important things like the mortgage or food.
00:01:59.000Why would you choose to spend 30, 50 or 100% more for the exact same auto parts?
00:02:50.000I want to get to this story here out of Loudoun County, Virginia.
00:02:55.000It is a long story and a very important one.
00:02:59.000We've been focusing a lot on critical race theory.
00:03:02.000And of course, we'll get to politics, but elections are so far out that these fights are exactly what will determine the type of country we're going to live in in five or ten years.
00:03:12.000And they do not get enough coverage by the activist press.
00:03:15.000I mean, they're there every once in a while.
00:03:18.000Of course, the New York Times has a groundbreaking story on the front page of the New York Times that says, all we have to do to open schools is open windows.
00:03:27.000The first word, the highest word on the New York Times, key to safe classrooms, open the windows.
00:03:33.000Oh, so we could have prevented all the suicides, mental health issues, alcoholism, displacement, spring sports, summer sports, prom commencement, social gatherings, all of that if we just opened windows.
00:03:43.000Exactly what we said we should have done.
00:03:46.000Even though children have been proven not to be mass spreaders of the Chinese coronavirus, they are spreaders of the flu, completely different.
00:03:53.000Schools are super spreaders for the flu.
00:03:55.000For whatever reason, they are not super spreaders of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:03:58.000Because someone created that way in the laboratory.
00:04:01.000But the closure of schools will go down as one of the most immoral, evil decisions, mistakes ever made in American history, largely because of Democrat politicians, weak Republicans, and corrupt teacher unions, the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers.
00:04:20.000However, I guess the only positive that I can say about all of these schools being closed is that parents finally had an opportunity to see what their children were learning.
00:04:51.000And we have received thousands of emails from people at freedom at charliekirk.com of parents that say, I had no idea the type of ideas that my school was teaching my children.
00:05:03.000So maybe that will be a positive of all these lockdowns because all we had to do was open windows, according to the New York Times.
00:05:10.000But this story out of Loudoun County, Virginia, is stunning.
00:05:16.000It's instructive in more ways than one.
00:05:19.000So Loudoun County is right near Washington, D.C.
00:05:22.000It is one of the wealthiest counties in America.
00:05:25.000In fact, the wealthiest counties in America are all around Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. creates nothing of value.
00:05:32.000They create rules, laws, regulation, and barriers for you and for entrepreneurs, for small business owners, and for families to be able to succeed.
00:05:43.000So Loudoun County used to be a Republican county 20 or 30 years ago.
00:06:19.000It is a thorough examination of critical race theory.
00:06:22.000And every parent in the country, please listen to what I'm saying carefully.
00:06:26.000You must be intimately aware about the ideology, the philosophy, the ideas behind critical race theory, because your child will come in contact with those ideas, maybe on TikTok, maybe on Snapchat.
00:06:40.000Well, your kids shouldn't have a smartphone until they're 18.
00:06:42.000That's a different topic for a different time.
00:06:44.000Maybe in the classroom, maybe from their friends, critical race theory has taken over our entire country.
00:06:51.000However, I am seeing more and more parents step up, speak out, start to get aware, and that's a positive thing.
00:07:02.000There was a whole Barry Weiss article that we went through last week shows that parents have an increasing concern over this.
00:07:10.000But what if I told you that in Loudoun County, Virginia, teachers that are funded and paid by parents and their property tax dollars are compiling hit lists of parents who dare question critical race theory.
00:07:38.000And in fact, the teachers go as far to say, how do we hack their computers, infiltrate, shut down their websites, expose these people publicly, the teachers are saying in Loudoun County, Virginia, I'm reading from the DailyWire.com.
00:07:57.000Members of a 624-member private Facebook group named parents and plotted fundraising and other offline work.
00:08:10.000They were doxing and targeting parents that asked questions about critical race theory, asking, is this really the best way our children should be learning about race?
00:09:32.000All you have to go and do is go to the Beverly Hills of the world, Loudoun County, La Jolla, Highland Park, Texas, Winnetka, Illinois, Brookfield, Wisconsin, Palm Beach, Florida, and go to a bunch of parents and take their taxpayer dollars at them realizing it, charge half a million dollars for a couple day seminar.
00:09:52.000That is what the real business model is based on.
00:09:55.000I kid you not, half a million dollars that Loudoun County paid in one year for a equity in the center training program that promoted a sense of injustice and urgency around how racist America is.
00:10:12.000Loudoun County then proposed, then withdrew a policy that would ban teachers from disagreeing with the school's racial philosophies.
00:10:42.000Louden County and the ruling class parents that hated Donald Trump more than anything else that are now complaining that their children are learning critical race theory.
00:10:51.000I hate to say they deserve it, but they deserve it.
00:11:05.000These teachers are now listing them first name, last name, and their location, their addresses, their employers, their spouses' names, and their kids.
00:11:16.000These are teachers that are listing parents in their local community that are teaching their children go after them in a Facebook group.
00:11:25.000Now, the local district attorney or sheriff's criminal investigation is looking into this, but it's a county prosecutor that won, thanks to $845,000 in cash from George Soros.
00:11:42.000So I don't expect any sort of criminal investigation to come anytime soon.
00:11:47.000These are teachers that are targeting you, parents and children, for asking questions.
00:11:55.000In Loudoun County, Virginia, which is where the ruling class lives, the actual ruling class.
00:12:02.000Congressional staffers, White House staffers, lobbyists, corporate crony insiders, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, they all live in Loudoun County.
00:12:12.000And they've decided to go try and become Democrats because it will benefit their own corporate financial interests.
00:12:18.000And so it used to be a Republican county.
00:12:20.000It's turned into basically a representation of the kingdom of Washington, D.C.
00:12:26.000Now, one of my very good friends from Chicago just messaged me, says, Charlie, you're hitting such important topics today.
00:12:31.000I feel like I need antidepressants because you're being so truthful and honest.
00:12:35.000Believe it or not, this story is a positive story.
00:12:39.000It's positive in the sense that parents are finally starting to draw lines in the sand and they're going to say, you're not going to teach my child critical race theory garbage anymore.
00:12:49.000Now, it's really interesting because now that critical race theory has hit home literally in the whitest, most elitist, upper middle class communities in America.
00:13:04.000You see, when critical race theory was being taught in some far-off land, college or university away from the 14, 15, 16, or 17-year-old sanctuaries of the ruling class children, you see, the New York Times reading, Washington Post consuming lobbyist ruling class in Loudoun County, Virginia said, oh, yes, let me go send my $500 contribution to BLM Incorporated.
00:13:29.000I'll get my yard sign, my bumper sticker, and my end racism starter kit.
00:13:35.000In fact, I encourage you, if you go drive through Highland Park, Texas, which I know we're also on a Dallas radio station as well, if you go drive through even Scottsdale to a lesser extent, not exactly as bad, and you go see these big, massive signs in people's yards, end racism, Black Lives Matter.
00:14:01.000And so now that those people that have those massive billboards in their yard, those bumper stickers, now that their children are being taught at age 15, you know, little Johnny, we know that your father's a lobbyist for some corrupt company or your mom is a congressional staffer for Diane Feinstein.
00:14:21.000But did you know that because you're white, you're actually a racist?
00:14:25.000So little Johnny comes home and tells his parents this and they lose it.
00:15:04.000This is happening in Naperville School Districts 203.
00:15:07.000In Texas, they're trying to pass this through their educational standards curriculum.
00:15:12.000This will impact every single vertical of culture imaginable.
00:15:16.000But what's the positive is finally parents are waking up.
00:15:19.000I will offer grace and forgiveness for all the BLM Incorporated donations, for all the bumper stickers, for all the votes that went the wrong way, for Joe Biden, please save us while we're wearing three masks.
00:15:30.000I'll offer grace and forgiveness for all of that.
00:15:33.000Now's the time, regardless of political affiliation, for us to stand up against the woke industrial complex.
00:15:40.000And for the teachers that are targeting parents, I hope that's a wake-up call for a lot of people that are listening this.
00:15:46.000These are employees of the parents, literally.
00:15:49.000They are paying them with their tax dollars, and the teachers are privately organizing saying, let's go find these parents.
00:15:56.000In fact, and I say, quote, an educator in a system of oppression is either a revolutionary or an oppressor, according to the Loudon school system.
00:16:07.000Now is the time for the people that are funding this mess, parents, to rise up in record numbers and remove the cancerous rot that is critical race theory from our schools.
00:16:22.000By now, you've all heard me talk about how MyPillow is incredible.
00:16:26.000A lot of you are asking, how do I support Mike Lindell?
00:16:29.000Well, everything Mike Lindell makes is made in America.

00:17:44.000Tell us what the big argument you're making in the book is, your experience and your story behind it.
00:17:49.000Well, thanks so much for bringing that up.
00:17:51.000And it's just crazy that this book is something we can actually hold now.
00:17:54.000I've been working on this for so long.
00:17:56.000And as an author, you are obviously able to relate to that quite a bit.
00:17:59.000It's a long process, but it's very cool that it's finally here.
00:18:02.000I wrote this book starting towards the end of my college experience at Colorado State when I was a student activist for us at Turning Point USA.
00:18:09.000And I really discovered firsthand as a student just how much our college campuses have become the front lines of this culture war that you and I talk a lot about and what we highlight here at Turning Point USA.
00:18:20.000But as a pre-med biomedical sciences student, I never expected to receive so much hate as an outspoken conservative and really experience the assaults on objective truth, even in the scientific field in academia.
00:18:32.000So, I mean, I've talked a lot about this on your program before, but I was taught that, you know, there's two sets of chromosomes, but gender is actually a social construct.
00:18:41.000Things like masks don't work, but then they do work for COVID-19 and my graduate school program and lots of flip-flopping on what you would expect to be objective truth in this pursuit of that.
00:18:51.000But now even science is dictated by what is politically correct and the appetite of the day.
00:19:15.000So talk about why parents need to read this book as kind of like a first-person narrative of what their kids might encounter in school.
00:19:23.000Once I decided to be an outspoken conservative in my community and really be the first person to bring some of these ideas to my college campus through starting a Turning Point USA chapter, I was that number one target for the ideas and the ideology and the person to completely shut down and avoid on a college campus.
00:19:40.000Like many of our students, I got the death threats and the threats of violence, and my address was doxxed online, and really nowhere was safe in my college community because I dared to advocate for ideological diversity.
00:19:52.000And I think sadly today, so many 18-year-olds show up to their college campus completely unprepared for the situations that they're going to be dealing with in the classroom, in student government, in Greek life, or other clubs on campus.
00:20:04.000So, if a parent is really unsure of whether or not a conservative student of theirs might start to face these things in their next chapter, I think this is a great roadmap from the student perspective that really hasn't been shared before.
00:20:16.000And so, I remember you started the Turning Point USA group.
00:20:19.000I spoke in February of 2018, and the whole world blew up.
00:21:02.000We kept working hard and we built on that momentum of this crazy backlash we were experiencing from students and administration even telling us that the goal of our university wasn't to educate young adults and make them successful people.
00:21:14.000It was to become the social justice institution of America.
00:21:18.000Our administration wanted to be the next mizu.
00:21:20.000And you remember, Charlie, just how bad that backlash was.
00:21:23.000The National Guard had to come to your event, if you remember.
00:21:32.000And that just continued to escalate more and more.
00:21:34.000But I think because of that, students are seeing courageous members of their peer community speak up and fight back, even if it's something as little as raising your hand in class and fighting back against your professors.
00:21:44.000So there was a huge movement that spurred at CSU's campus and all across the country, as we see with our other Turning Point USA groups as well.
00:22:39.000They're terrorists if they voted for the former president in this last election.
00:22:43.000And this ideology is continuing to get crazier and crazier because, as we all know, people say things through a screen that they would never say in real life.
00:22:51.000And that's exactly what's Happening with some of these virtual classes as well.
00:22:55.000Students are just being completely pummeled with leftism to a degree never before seen.
00:22:59.000And I think that the radicalism has just gone to extreme lengths.
00:23:04.000And, you know, for parents that send their kids to college, things have changed even the last couple of years since you went to college.
00:23:13.000And I think we're just at a tipping point, truthfully, in our country, where people need to decide if getting a college degree is the right move for them.
00:23:20.000It might be for so many people who want to go to medical school or become an engineer, and that's the right pathway for them.
00:23:26.000But when you have to take mandated courses on how all conservatives are terrorists and we're so racially divided in this country that we'll never come back from that and that our founding value is slavery and white supremacy instead of liberty and freedom, that's a moment to pause and think about that.
00:23:41.000So talk about some of the things we are seeing at Turning Point USA.
00:23:44.000I get some of these updates and everyone should get involved.
00:23:58.000What are some nuggets and stories you can share with us?
00:24:00.000Our students are under attack like never before, Charlie.
00:24:02.000And obviously I've gone through a lot of that.
00:24:04.000So it's always a pleasure talking to our students from the other side of things and telling them that there is hope going through this stuff because it's really isolating and lonely to be an outspoken conservative in your community.
00:24:15.000I sat down with so many of our students over the last few months speaking on college campuses across the country.
00:24:20.000And I'm hearing stories like people getting kicked out of their sororities because they dared to post a tweet from Candace Owens on their Instagram story and how that goes against their sororities values.
00:24:30.000People are now being taught that math is white supremacist and patriarchal.
00:24:34.000So even math classes are not exempt from this kind of stuff.
00:24:38.000And universities are starting to segregate students more and more and more in as many ways as possible by race, by gender identity, by sexual orientation, even socioeconomic status.
00:24:49.000I think one of the craziest stories that came out of this last week was Columbia University announcing how they're going to do their graduation ceremonies this year.
00:24:57.000There's going to be six or seven different ceremonies, one for black students and one for LGBT students and one for low-income students and one for first-generation students and females.
00:25:07.000And this is the evolution of progressive ideology.
00:25:12.000We've literally gone in a circle historically.
00:25:15.000And I think there's just this hyper focus on identifying students as a group.
00:25:20.000And as soon as you, as an individual, try to break out of that and be unique, to push against the crowd, to be countercultural, especially as a conservative, you become public enemy number one.
00:25:29.000So one of the top questions we get is: I agree with all of that.
00:25:35.000I would argue that you absolutely need to speak up and do something about it, even if you are scared and even if it is lonely and isolating.
00:25:43.000I lost a lot, if not all, of my friends for a while there during my college experience.
00:25:48.000Every friend you have, except maybe one or two will go away.
00:26:02.000Trust me, if anybody gets it, I get it.
00:26:04.000I walked through that valley of fire for a very long time as a student.
00:26:08.000But by the time I graduated, there was this huge community of people having socialism sucks buttons on their backpack and raising their hand in class and running for student government as conservatives.
00:26:18.000And I learned very early on through this process, being a student and now doing what I do, sometimes people just need someone else to be the first person.
00:26:26.000They need somebody else to set up the table and hand out the buttons or raise their hand in class or run for student government or speak up against some of these crazy policies like these graduation ceremonies.
00:26:36.000And all of a sudden, dozens and dozens, if not thousands of people, get the courage to do that too.
00:26:40.000So what was the biggest thing that you know today that you wish you would have known right before you went to college?
00:26:46.000It wasn't going to be what I expected.
00:26:49.000And truthfully, that college was not going to be what I expected.
00:26:52.000Even the big cowboy agricultural school in Colorado has been totally overrun by leftism.
00:26:58.000And that it's okay to walk alone if you're walking towards the truth.
00:27:02.000And I think we forget, even as Christians, sometimes in this world, that we're not supposed to fit into this world, right?
00:27:08.000I tell people this all the time when they ask, How do you deal with the hate?
00:27:11.000How do you handle some of this name-calling and the death threats?
00:28:07.000And so, throughout all of that, it's the big deal to write a book at any age.
00:28:12.000And so I hope every young person that's watching or listening or parent, you look at Isabel's story, and Isabel's story is one of many people that are speaking out.
00:28:56.000You might get a failing grade on a paper.
00:28:58.000You're probably going to get called all these crazy names.
00:29:00.000But there's so much peace in advocating for the truth.
00:29:03.000And you find a lot of stability and a strong foundation in that.
00:29:07.000And I can guarantee you, the people that are going to come into your life as a result of speaking up and standing for what is right are going to mean so much more to you than anybody else.
00:29:16.000We have a new addition to our professor watch list.
00:29:18.000Now, if you're watching this or listening on podcast or radio, all across the country, and you say, What is the professor watch list?
00:29:25.000It's a project of Turning Point USA where we name the names and the actions, specifically factually, of the teachers that are indoctrinating your kids, your students, with your dollars.
00:29:38.000And today is Professor Watchlist Selection is Nathan Fletcher.
00:29:44.000Ah, Professor Fletcher, what an interesting character.
00:29:47.000This is an individual who not only is a professor of political science at the University of California, San Diego, he's also chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
00:29:58.000So he's sort of double-dipping in the insanity on college campuses and in local government in California.
00:30:05.000But this individual is paid by the local government and the university to say things like: All conservatives taking part in the recall effort of Governor Newsom are neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
00:30:18.000He says that the storming of the Capitol on January the 6th reminded him of his combat experience as a Marine to the enemies of America.
00:30:29.000This individual says that Trump is an existential threat to peaceful democracy, and even that Black Lives Matter protests were never responsible for any cases of COVID-19.
00:30:42.000We're Charlie as an expert in science here, political science, remind you, bars, restaurants, house parties, offices in the state of California.
00:30:50.000So there's a clear double standard when it comes to political beliefs here.
00:30:55.000But this individual is just beyond the pale as a leftist professor.
00:30:59.000And he also has said there's substantial evidence that those who are leading the recall effort against Gavin Newsom are linked and associated with neo-Nazi, with white supremacists, with right-wing militia groups, which is a total lie.
00:31:11.000And he actually went on to say that racism beyond all of this should be a public health crisis as declared by the local government there in San Diego County.
00:31:21.000And they were trying to pass a resolution that would force the county to use racial and equity data to prioritize public funding for projects and COVID-19 relief funds.
00:31:30.000And he argued this in front of the Board of Supervisors, and he got his public health crisis resolution passed.
00:31:38.000Now, let's go to Cut 52 of Gavin Newsom, who listens to this person, this professor Nathan Fletcher.
00:31:44.000Remember, what happens on college campuses doesn't stay there.
00:32:16.000So curse the numbers with me for a second, Harris.
00:32:18.000According to the far left Southern Poverty Law Center, there are 148 white nationalist groups in the entire country, which, by the way, is horrible.
00:32:25.000But let's say that on average, they have 1,000 members.
00:32:28.000That means that there's about 148,000 white nationalists in the entire country.
00:32:33.000If you think that's too small, double it, triple it, quadruple it.
00:32:36.000There are 2 million people who've signed a petition to recall Governor Newsom, half a million more than is necessary to start or trigger a recall.
00:32:46.000If every white nationalist in America lived in California and signed that petition, they wouldn't even come closer to triggering a recall.
00:32:52.000He is not being recalled because of racism.
00:32:56.000He's being recalled because he's incompetent.
00:33:00.000You know, sometimes he was a little unfair towards Trump.
00:33:02.000That was a phenomenal piece of television, and he's exactly right.
