The Charlie Kirk Show - Freedom Fighters and Freedom Haters with Brian Kilmeade and Madeline Lowe

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk show, Brian Kilmead joins us to talk about his new book and the midterm chances.

00:00:05.000 A Turning Point USA chapter leader is assaulted on campus, maced three times for wanting to go to a club meeting by domestic violent extremists on the left, of which no one is arrested.

00:00:16.000 And yet we have to be lectured by the left and the media that somehow we're the violent side.

00:00:20.000 And then finally, I have hope because of something I saw on MSNBC.

00:01:41.000 Joining us now is a great American, someone who's always been very good to me, and I love watching him on TV.

00:01:46.000 And I have to say, I have a lot of respect for someone that has a strong work ethic.

00:01:52.000 I have a lot of respect.

00:01:54.000 And this guy is a wonder in when he wakes up and how hard he works.

00:01:59.000 And it is Brian Kilmead, and he really loves America, and he's a phenomenal author.

00:02:04.000 Brian, welcome back to the program.

00:02:05.000 Brian, what time did you wake up today?

00:02:07.000 Well, today is an aberration because today I won and watched both my daughters had a college game against each other.

00:02:18.000 So it's the last time they'll ever play against each other.

00:02:20.000 So I actually took the day off and watched because I didn't get off the field last night till we're four hours from Manhattan.

00:02:26.000 So late.

00:02:27.000 So I had to take today off, but normally 2:20.

00:02:30.000 2:20.

00:02:33.000 Yeah.

00:02:34.000 And work my way through.

00:02:36.000 And that was the election.

00:02:37.000 There's not even enough time because you hop on the air at six.

00:02:40.000 And then you do it with affiliates because you know, as you try to build the radio network, you try to contribute to their morning shows and let them know what's coming up on your show.

00:02:48.000 So my busiest time for radio is between 4 and 5:55.

00:02:54.000 And then I actually do the radio show at 9.06.

00:02:57.000 And I'll be able to just, I just want to give the affiliates a sense that I'm part of their lineup.

00:03:02.000 So I try to weave that in before doing Fox and Friends of the Morning.

00:03:06.000 And there's a lot of live shows going on at that time, as you know.

00:03:09.000 So around the country, different time shifts and everything like that.

00:03:13.000 So it's a fun job, though.

00:03:14.000 You know, Charlie, you'd be talking about this, even if you didn't have the organizations you had and the shows that you do, right?

00:03:22.000 Your passion's there for it.

00:03:25.000 Well, thank you, Brian.

00:03:26.000 I appreciate that.

00:03:28.000 So let's get to your book here, The President and the Freedom Fighter.

00:03:33.000 It is now out in paperbook.

00:03:34.000 We've talked about this before.

00:03:36.000 Two amazing Americans, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

00:03:39.000 Talk about it.

00:03:41.000 A couple of things.

00:03:42.000 I mean, what I try to do is in the middle of these George Floyd riots, where people are saying America is hopelessly racist, and it's about time that we admit it.

00:03:53.000 And everybody knew this was wrong, but people wrote checks to Black Lives Matter.

00:03:57.000 I'm thinking to myself, okay, this is going to be great.

00:03:59.000 I'm doing a book on the Civil War regarding two men, black and white, who rose above it and brought America forward.

00:04:05.000 And then, at first, dread, and then I realized this is a great opportunity.

00:04:09.000 Give people a perspective on race in America and where we were and where we are.

00:04:13.000 And then you see these two men who overcame incredible circumstances.

00:04:16.000 You know, Lincoln, most people know, bounce a depression.

00:04:20.000 You know, people who not many people know his mom died at eight.

00:04:23.000 His dad had no use for education.

00:04:25.000 He had to find a way to teach himself to read, write, and excel, even though he had one year of formal schooling.

00:04:31.000 And he overcame all those obstacles to be a few political losses, to be the perfect person at the perfect time to start this party called the Republican Party that thought that slavery should end and everybody should be free.

00:04:45.000 And Frederick Douglass, born a slave, escapes to freedom on his second effort, ends up in New York.

00:04:53.000 I was also free for a place to live and something to eat.

00:04:56.000 So he literally had nothing in a strange city that was just as harsh as it is today, maybe more harsh.

00:05:02.000 And then he found his way to become within seven years a best-selling author and one of the most sought-after speakers in the country.

00:05:09.000 But instead of leaving America, he wanted to make it better.

00:05:13.000 So instead of doing that, he helps lead an abolitionist movement.

00:05:16.000 So he's in the perfect place at the perfect time when the Civil War happens.

00:05:19.000 And he went from critic to big supporter to great friend of Abraham Lincoln.

00:05:24.000 So I know I couldn't bring anything different to those biographies, but I could talk about their relationship.

00:05:29.000 And I think people would understand if they accomplished what they accomplished despite America at that time and the world at that time.

00:05:35.000 I think they have a great appreciation and perspective about race in America, the most successful multicultural country in the history of the world.

00:05:44.000 And in this book, the news came to this history story and that they were trying to take down the very statue that Frederick Douglass was asked to dedicate to Abraham Lincoln 10 years after his death.

00:05:54.000 I'm talking about the Emancipation Monument and talking about the freedom statue that sits in Lincoln Park in Washington, D.C.

00:06:03.000 And they actually took the replica down in Massachusetts.

00:06:06.000 And then they ripped Frederick Douglass's statue off the podium in Rochester where he lived most of his free life.

00:06:13.000 And I'm thinking to myself, that is my book.

00:06:16.000 So I put that in the afterword and what it means and the folly of those efforts and why we should feel better about where we're at in 2022 than we're at in 2020.

00:06:25.000 And you see, I think there's a real sobering effect here in America that things are not nearly as bad as portrayed. 0.97

00:06:33.000 People are taking advantage of that moment to make themselves rich like Black Lives Matter and really doing everything to divide the country when really not far apart. 0.89

00:06:42.000 And I see Republicans being much like the original Republican Party, welcoming in African Americans, welcoming people of all sex. 0.98

00:06:50.000 Look at the diverse class that is running for office right now.

00:06:54.000 I mean, roles are totally reversed.

00:06:57.000 Republicans are the diverse, you know, pull up your pull yourself up from your bootstraps party that is everyone on board from women to Hispanics to blacks.

00:07:09.000 And I just think this is a fascinating time that's happened since my hardcover came out.

00:07:14.000 And then the softcover comes out a year later with this new afterword because history is once again news.

00:07:21.000 That's really well said.

00:07:22.000 Can you talk about how Frederick Douglass considered the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to be a promissory note that was the fulfillment to abolish slavery was actually a continuation of the moral claims about the Declaration of the Constitution.

00:07:40.000 That is directly at odds with Nicole Hannah-Jones and the 1619 Project, who believed that those founding documents were against the promise of the abolitionist slavery.

00:07:50.000 Frederick Douglass actually admired the founding promise.

00:07:54.000 And some people misrepresent Frederick Douglass with his famous speech, what to the slave is the 4th of July.

00:08:01.000 Help walk us through that, Brian, because you have a great historical mind, and I think the nuance is important to explain here.

00:08:09.000 Well, number one, she doesn't do any interviews.

00:08:11.000 I think she does like three interviews because she can't defend what's in her book.

00:08:14.000 And most of the historians who were consulted by her book, you know, for example, the New York Times kind of wrote that book, it seems like.

00:08:22.000 And a lot of it they sent out to various historians to say, hey, this is what we're putting out there.

00:08:26.000 And a lot of them kicked it to the curb.

00:08:26.000 What do you think?

00:08:28.000 And there's a book called 1620 out there.

00:08:31.000 And there's other books that just debunked the 1619 project.

00:08:34.000 But I never thought that book was going to become part of curriculum.

00:08:37.000 It's literally in schools now.

00:08:38.000 I mean, who would think that some person would write a book and make it a handbook?

00:08:43.000 And the New York Times was pure propaganda.

00:08:45.000 It just is.

00:08:46.000 I mean, it's unbelievable.

00:08:48.000 It is conjecture.

00:08:49.000 It doesn't use original source documents.

00:08:49.000 It's baseless.

00:08:51.000 And Brian, what I love about your books is they're all cited.

00:08:53.000 Please continue.

00:08:54.000 Sorry.

00:08:55.000 Yeah.

00:08:55.000 No, no problem.

00:08:56.000 So Frederick Douglass in particular talks about the journey.

00:08:59.000 So you have a guy that was told you don't teach African Americans to read and write because they don't want freedom.

00:09:06.000 They're going to see the world in which it could be, not the one that we need them to work.

00:09:09.000 Now, keep in mind, only 20% of the black population was in the North. 0.90

00:09:14.000 People knew slavery existed, but it was not part of a lifestyle that in the North, even though you found this in the 1960s, that they even understood a lot of the times when people were seeing some of this video with a black and white water fountain to the buses.

00:09:26.000 In the North, they were saying to themselves, what is going on?

00:09:28.000 We don't have that.

00:09:29.000 Not that the North was free of prejudice and racist tendencies, but it was anything like what's happening in the South that was embedded in some ways in that community.

00:09:39.000 And what the founding fathers couldn't do is find a way to shake slavery.

00:09:43.000 They didn't invent it.

00:09:44.000 It was on every continent on the planet.

00:09:47.000 It was mostly in Brazil. 1.00

00:09:49.000 The American Indians had slaves. 0.54

00:09:51.000 There was blacks in Africa had slaves. 0.89

00:09:54.000 That's just the way things were done in early civilization. 1.00

00:09:57.000 We used to study it, but now we condemn it as if in 2022, we figured everything out.

00:10:02.000 You judge people by the era in which they live.

00:10:05.000 So when you have Frederick Douglass escape to freedom, he ends up impressing a guy named William Lloyd Garrison.

00:10:10.000 He's a leading abolitionist.

00:10:12.000 And what Garrison said is everyone should be equal.

00:10:15.000 Everyone should be free.

00:10:16.000 And the Constitution needs to be torn up.

00:10:18.000 And that's the guy that's mentoring Douglas.

00:10:20.000 But the more Douglass reads and studies the Constitution, the more he looks at the Declaration of Independence, he changes his mind.

00:10:28.000 And he leaves Garrison and he goes with this guy, Garrett Smith, who says, he goes, listen, we're not living up to the Constitution.

00:10:37.000 It's not the Constitution that's wrong.

00:10:40.000 And then Douglass wrote about it, made his own newspaper called The North Star, left the Liberator, and he would write about the promise of America.

00:10:48.000 And he's impatient about America making progress.

00:10:51.000 What is wrong with that?

00:10:52.000 Nothing.

00:10:53.000 He is more of an activist.

00:10:55.000 And you have Lincoln, who is a politician, who says, this is the country I have.

00:11:01.000 And you're telling me the country you want.

00:11:03.000 I have to govern the country I have.

00:11:05.000 And that's where some conflict between the two were.

00:11:08.000 And he said, it's a promissory note, guys, here's the document.

00:11:11.000 This is now the great, this is how you're going to be graded, live up to it.

00:11:15.000 And it took generations in overcoming racists like Andrew Johnson, instead of having Grant and people like Lincoln, you had Andrew Johnson who said, you know, we fought a war, but if the South wants to do their own thing, go ahead, Ku Klux Klan.

00:11:27.000 I'll go ahead. 0.76

00:11:28.000 It seems like a good organization.

00:11:29.000 Just don't bother me with it.

00:11:30.000 Obviously, people outraged by it.

00:11:32.000 They almost impeached him.

00:11:33.000 At the same time, Grant comes over and starts doing some extraordinary things, but did give birth to separate but equal, which is something we had to handle 50 years later.

00:11:43.000 So Douglas saw the promise.

00:11:45.000 And Douglas traveled.

00:11:46.000 And Ireland was above us.

00:11:48.000 You know, they were ahead of us in race relations. 0.95

00:11:50.000 The UK was ahead of us in race relations. 0.87

00:11:52.000 He could have stayed and lived like a king.

00:11:54.000 Instead, he said, no, man, I'm an American.

00:11:56.000 I'm going back.

00:11:57.000 And he goes back and he continues to push in prod.

00:12:01.000 And when the Civil War is fought, yeah, when the Civil War is fought, we know how it happened, and we know how close these two became.

00:12:07.000 Check out Brian's book.

00:12:08.000 It's now available in paperback, The President and the Freedom Fighter to amazing Americans, Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

00:12:16.000 So, Brian, you're really on the pulse of the news.

00:12:19.000 You help co-host the most successful morning cable news show out there.

00:12:25.000 I love watching.

00:12:25.000 I love it.

00:12:26.000 What do you think is going to happen in 13 days with the midterms looming?

00:12:29.000 What are you seeing?

00:12:29.000 What are you looking at?

00:12:31.000 What do you think the activist press might be missing?

00:12:34.000 We've got to get you back on One Nation, too, Charlie.

00:12:36.000 I got to ask you that very same question because you do have the pulse of the nation more than anybody because you probably interact with more people who came to this show and your foundation.

00:12:47.000 But what I see right now is I cannot believe where it's trending.

00:12:52.000 Now, we know what happened in July.

00:12:53.000 I mean, the Dobbs decision was swapping everything, and Donald Trump, and they had investigations, allowed it to be the first and second issue in the country.

00:13:02.000 And the Republicans said, well, what happened, man?

00:13:04.000 Nothing's really breaking our way.

00:13:05.000 But they held firm, and the Democrats really deserve most of the discredit for this.

00:13:10.000 They let the border fall apart.

00:13:11.000 The Republican governors made them take a look.

00:13:14.000 That is now a top three issue.

00:13:15.000 Crime and no punishment has taken over every city, big and small, bleeding into the subways.

00:13:21.000 That is now one or two in almost every ranking of things that matter most. 0.96

00:13:25.000 And the fact is, they jammed the Inflation Reduction Act down our throats, which was mislabeled, and they took the American people for suckers on that.

00:13:33.000 It was a green energy deal that we didn't need.

00:13:36.000 At the same time, our gas prices were going up and utilities go through the roof.

00:13:40.000 Now, one thing that I point out that Democrats, that Republicans did, I'm telling you this is Republican action, the Democratic actions and their lack of action on things that matter most.

00:13:50.000 And of all people, Bill Maher, if they had listened, they'd be stopping a tsunami that I think is going to hit him in the face.

00:13:56.000 And now, even Al Franken came out and said, what is going on?

00:14:00.000 This is a liberals, liberal comedian, I granted, but a commentator. 0.97

00:14:04.000 No one's ever said he was dumb.

00:14:05.000 And he said, how could you actually think that inflation wasn't something you have to deal with every day responsibly?

00:14:13.000 Instead, you're just jamming, you're just adding fuel to the fire with the student loan forgiveness and continuing to pretend as if we're doing all we can, drilling and blaming Saudi Arabia when we don't, and Vladimir Putin that we are experiencing what we're experiencing.

00:14:28.000 The American people don't want to hear excuses.

00:14:30.000 They just see no on non-action.

00:14:32.000 So I believe the Democrats are going to get swamped right now and they're the blame.

00:14:37.000 The question is going to break down the fights in Georgia, when we break down the matchups in Nevada, when we shouldn't see if there's an upset brewing, if we see if there's an upset brewing, possibly across the country in places like Colorado.

00:14:52.000 I'm not sure what happens there.

00:14:54.000 I think there you've got to dive into what's happening in those states in particular.

00:14:58.000 But I think that the Warnock stuff is coming out.

00:15:01.000 This guy is as radical as Reverend Wright.

00:15:03.000 And I think Herschel's handled his controversy pretty well and did fantastic in his debate.

00:15:09.000 So I think Georgia is anxious to vote and they're coming out.

00:15:12.000 So I think that in the House, I think it's going to be substantial.

00:15:17.000 And now the Senate, even 538 is saying it's 52.50, 52% chance now Democrats hold up to the Senate.

00:15:26.000 Yep, it's going down.

00:15:27.000 They're always lagging, Brian.

00:15:29.000 They're always lagging.

00:15:30.000 You know, we've been saying this for weeks.

00:15:31.000 When is 538 going to, in the middle of the night, do a little bit of a comp?

00:15:36.000 Is that really 52%?

00:15:37.000 Is that right now, Brian?

00:15:40.000 I mean, yeah, that's what they said.

00:15:42.000 A slight advantage for Democrats.

00:15:44.000 I think they're going to change it right before election just to cover themselves because they're going to vote.

00:15:50.000 Had it at 75 just a month ago.

00:15:52.000 I think that's a really smart take, Brian.

00:15:55.000 Yeah, but so there's a lot of people wondering, you know, what kind of sleeper races you guys have been covering them.

00:16:01.000 Do you think Washington could be in play?

00:16:02.000 And then, Brian, I mean, the beautiful state of New York, you're a Long Island guy.

00:16:06.000 I mean, do you think it's possible that Lee Zeldon could be the next governor in New York?

00:16:11.000 About a minute remaining. 0.55

00:16:13.000 Yeah, real quick, I think, I think former Governor Cuomo is working against Hochul. 0.90

00:16:18.000 And I think also the Hoku. 1.00

00:16:20.000 That's really smart.

00:16:22.000 And I think Zeldin is real.

00:16:23.000 Zeldin's authentic.

00:16:25.000 That's him.

00:16:25.000 There's no great lines.

00:16:26.000 And the issues came to him.

00:16:28.000 So if I was to pick it up, said that would be it.

00:16:30.000 I've watched it along the way.

00:16:32.000 I sat next to him at the Al Smith theater.

00:16:34.000 Everybody was coming up to him saying, you're going to win.

00:16:37.000 You got my vote.

00:16:38.000 And I couldn't believe who I was seeing saying it.

00:16:41.000 This is established elite Democratic event.

00:16:44.000 And these people will go and I've had enough.

00:16:46.000 And you know what?

00:16:47.000 Lee Zelda's smart enough to say, I'm going to work with Democrats in New York.

00:16:50.000 You got to say that.

00:16:52.000 And I think he would do it because you don't get anything done if you don't.

00:16:54.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:16:54.000 I think it's really smart.

00:16:56.000 And I think you're right.

00:16:57.000 I think Cuomo is trying to sabotage Hochul.

00:16:59.000 And Cuomo has a lot of power.

00:17:02.000 I think Cuomo's working the phones and telling get out the vote union stuff saying, nope, maybe, nope, maybe help Schumer, but stay out of this one.

00:17:10.000 I think there's a lot of, I think there's a lot of revenge going on there.

00:17:15.000 That's a smart take.

00:17:16.000 Brian, thanks for joining us.

00:17:17.000 Check out his book now available in paperback.

00:17:20.000 Check it out.

00:17:21.000 I think it's going to do very well.

00:17:24.000 The president and the freedom fighter, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.

00:17:27.000 Brian, thank you so much.

00:17:31.000 Hey, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:32.000 When it comes to liberals in Congress, there's no way they would accept term limits on themselves.

00:17:37.000 And yet now they're fighting tooth and nail to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices.

00:17:41.000 Term limits for thee, but not for me. 0.96

00:17:44.000 Sounds completely hypocritical. 0.89

00:17:46.000 Of course it is. 0.94

00:17:46.000 But since when has that ever been a problem for the American left? 0.94

00:17:49.000 They do whatever they want to try to seize more power, even if it means purging the Supreme Court of its most experienced justices.

00:17:55.000 To no one's surprise, their new court purging scheme would remove long-serving, amazing justices like the super brilliant Clarence Thomas and the courageous Samuel Alito.

00:18:05.000 They would then replace these new justices with a rubber stamp and their radical agenda.

00:18:10.000 Since Democrats are working hard to pass court purging with term limits, we need to work even harder to stop it.

00:18:15.000 Or the Supreme Court, as we know it, will never be the same.

00:18:17.000 If you care about the integrity of the Supreme Court and don't want to see it taken over by political hacks, go to supremecoup.com.

00:18:23.000 That is supreme COUP.com.

00:18:29.000 We are lectured all the time about domestic violent extremism, as if the right has lots of domestic violent extremists.

00:18:38.000 Except that's just not true.

00:18:40.000 The left is full of people that are willing to use force to intimidate and harm conservatives.

00:18:46.000 It's happening with Turning Point USA chapters all across the country.

00:18:50.000 It's now happened twice at University of New Mexico, University of Iowa, and yes, now at University of California, Davis, our Turning Point USA chapter, was trying to host a speaker, Stephen Davis, a great man, who was met with Antifa and the young lady who runs the Turning Point USA chapter, Madeline Lowe, University of California Davis chapter leader, was maced three times by domestic, violent, extremist leaders, domestic, violent, extremist leftists.

00:19:20.000 Joining us now is Madeline Lowe.

00:19:21.000 Madeline, welcome to the program.

00:19:23.000 Hi, thank you for having me.

00:19:24.000 First of all, are you doing okay?

00:19:26.000 I am.

00:19:27.000 Thank you very much.

00:19:28.000 I've recovered, yeah.

00:19:29.000 Well, walk us through what happened last evening.

00:19:32.000 So I was arriving to the event at 6.40.

00:19:35.000 I was 20 minutes early.

00:19:36.000 And when I arrived, I saw about 100, maybe 75 to 100 protesters in front, and they were banging on the windows, yelling things at the UC Davis Conference Center.

00:19:48.000 And so I walked through the crowd trying to fit in and I go up to the security guards asking them if I was able to get into the event.

00:19:54.000 And when I found out I couldn't, I was started taking videos of everything that was happening around me.

00:19:59.000 And at that point, people were starting to like grab me and say, why are you talking to these people?

00:20:04.000 You need to come back here with us.

00:20:05.000 And I was asking them politely, please do not touch me.

00:20:09.000 And then once I walked out back to the crowd, I saw protesters protesting the protesters.

00:20:15.000 And at this point, I went over to them and said, like, hi guys, like, what's going on here?

00:20:20.000 And I was videoing this whole situation.

00:20:22.000 As I started to walk back into the protesters crowd, a man asked me to identify myself.

00:20:29.000 And I just keep walking past him.

00:20:31.000 That's when he proceeded to mace me.

00:20:33.000 And then I turned around and then another person maced me.

00:20:37.000 And then the same guy that did it the first time maced me again.

00:20:40.000 After that, a guy from my left grabbed my phone, ripped it out of my hand, and then took it from me and threw it on the ground and smashed it.

00:20:49.000 At that point, my hand was hurting a lot because he had ripped it out of my hand and I was trying to hold on to it.

00:20:54.000 And then he called the police and the police would not come until the protest was broken up.

00:21:00.000 And so that was the end of that.

00:21:03.000 Was anybody arrested for using mace against you three times?

00:21:08.000 No one was arrested because the police department would not respond to the call unless the protest was broken up.

00:21:16.000 I'm pretty sure it was due to an incident 10 years ago at UC Davis.

00:21:20.000 And so I had to wait around for the police department to come take my statement, in which if they find the people who did mace me, they would arrest them and press charges.

00:21:32.000 Yeah, well, something tells me that they're not going to take this very seriously, right?

00:21:37.000 And probably won't.

00:21:38.000 And so here, basically, you're trying to host a peaceful event with Turning Point USA, trying to have Stephen Davis on campus and walk our audience through this.

00:21:48.000 A hundred masked Antifa people show up on campus because you're going to have an event with a couple dozen people, maybe 50, maybe 100 people.

00:21:56.000 What's going on here?

00:21:58.000 So this is exactly what happened.

00:22:01.000 And so the vice president, Luke Schultz, is the person who invited me to this event.

00:22:06.000 I was really just a member going and I'm trying to get more active in the club.

00:22:11.000 And at this point, I was taking videos to, you know, have this be promoted.

00:22:16.000 And when I showed up, I was not expecting 100 protesters.

00:22:21.000 It was extremely not fair to any side.

00:22:25.000 And I think it's really lack, it's really showing what, how much freedom of speech we have on campuses and universities around school.

00:22:34.000 And I'm a first year and I thought that it would be a lot more accessible to just have the right to speech and understand and go to club meetings.

00:22:44.000 And now it's really being a threat.

00:22:47.000 It's politics on campus is being a threat to everyone's freedom.

00:22:51.000 So your first year here and you want to join a Turning Point Club meeting.

00:22:55.000 Again, this wasn't a very big event by turning point standards.

00:22:59.000 Is that fair to say, right?

00:23:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:23:01.000 We actually didn't believe, we only had 200 people that RSVP'd, but we didn't expect a lot of people to show up, especially not protesters.

00:23:13.000 Yeah.

00:23:14.000 And so then you try to, this is a club meeting, right?

00:23:17.000 Yeah, it is.

00:23:18.000 And so you try to show up and 100 leftists that some of whom are armed with batons and mace and Tifa, domestic violent extremists, try to then intimidate and then they go after you and Mace you, which is against the law.

00:23:37.000 That is domestic violent extremism.

00:23:39.000 And one of our audience members says, do these kids ever go to class?

00:23:42.000 I bet a lot of these were non-students, though, weren't they?

00:23:44.000 They sound like community members.

00:23:47.000 I saw a lot of older gentlemen.

00:23:49.000 I felt as though they weren't undergraduates.

00:23:52.000 They might have been recently graduated or community members.

00:23:57.000 Yeah, I mean, that's been our experience.

00:23:59.000 And I mean, they have these trained Antifa pamphlets.

00:24:03.000 I want to read it for our audience here, which is: don't talk to cops, don't photograph or film the protest, protect each other, stick together, watch what you say, leave your phone in case of arrest, all this different stuff.

00:24:16.000 And they have the Sacramento NLG hotline.

00:24:20.000 What is NLG?

00:24:21.000 It's a hotline for them, maybe to bail them out of jail or something.

00:24:21.000 I know what that is.

00:24:25.000 But look, this is extraordinary.

00:24:28.000 And so I got to ask the question: are you going to stay involved as a conservative on campus?

00:24:33.000 I mean, does this deter you, despite the fact you got maced three times by a left-wing domestic violent extremist?

00:24:39.000 No, it does not deter me at all, actually.

00:24:41.000 I'm going to try and make my difference as much as possible.

00:24:45.000 I was not planning on getting actively involved in politics at least until sophomore year, but now it just makes me want to do it more because this isn't right at all that people can't voice their opinion.

00:24:57.000 And I'm trying to make a big movement and be able to have the right to freedom of speech on campus.

00:25:04.000 I mean, seriously, I hope every adult listening to this, and we have a very sizable audience, is taking this in.

00:25:10.000 Where people say, Oh, Charlie, you know, how do I get involved in all this?

00:25:14.000 I hope you guys get a little inspired by this because here's a young lady who just wanted to go to a Turning Point USA chapter meeting.

00:25:20.000 She gets maced three times. 0.95

00:25:21.000 No one gets arrested.

00:25:22.000 Nobody cares.

00:25:23.000 The cops totally failed you, by the way.

00:25:26.000 I'm going to be the first one to say that.

00:25:27.000 The cops could have actually restored order.

00:25:29.000 They could have arrested somebody.

00:25:31.000 They could have looked into this. 1.00

00:25:32.000 They just let these hooligans do whatever they want.

00:25:35.000 And by the way, there is this organization, the Sacramento National Lawyers Guild, that they have an on-call attorney for people who are arrested can call from jail to request legal supports.

00:25:48.000 They have an entire infrastructure in case somebody got arrested that assaulted you.

00:25:52.000 Of course, they'd be let out without bail.

00:25:54.000 But that's really amazing, Madeline, that you want to stay engaged and stay involved, and this won't deter you.

00:26:00.000 No, not at all.

00:26:02.000 I love politics.

00:26:04.000 That's awesome.

00:26:05.000 Well, stay involved with your Turning Point USA chapter.

00:26:07.000 We have your back.

00:26:07.000 I hope to meet you soon.

00:26:09.000 And I hope every parent and every adult out there is watching carefully and closely.

00:26:14.000 You try to attend a Turning Point USA chapter at University of California, Davis.

00:26:18.000 They will assault you.

00:26:20.000 Well, thankfully, you're okay.

00:26:21.000 I'm glad you're doing better.

00:26:22.000 God bless you, Madeline.

00:26:23.000 Thank you.

00:26:23.000 See you soon.

00:26:24.000 Thank you.

00:26:26.000 We have someone emailed us.

00:26:27.000 Charlie, this is not America anymore.

00:26:28.000 Yeah, I mean, we've been trying to warn about this for quite a while.

00:26:32.000 It's really sad what's happening.

00:26:34.000 Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:26:36.000 Let's get to some other stories here.

00:26:37.000 By the way, we're going to have that story written up at charliekirk.com.

00:26:40.000 That is charliekirk.com.

00:26:43.000 Very important that we stay on this, what's happening on these college campuses.

00:26:48.000 Meanwhile, they're the ones that call us Nazis, play cut 50.

00:26:53.000 I mean, I'm not calling, I'm not going to say that, you know, the GOP are Nazis at this point or whatever, but it certainly sounds very familiar to what happened in Germany.

00:27:03.000 Certainly sounds very familiar to what happened in Germany, really.

00:27:06.000 Which side is the one that is using weapons to deter people to go to campus meetings about freedom of speech and the Constitution?

00:27:12.000 Which side is doing that?

00:27:13.000 Can you give me an instance of a conservative group that is using force or violence?

00:27:18.000 Which side has masked goons and hooligans?

00:27:20.000 Which side is that exactly? 0.97

00:27:22.000 This is a poor young girl who tries to go to a Turning Point USA chapter meeting and gets maced.

00:27:28.000 And by the way, you might say, oh, that's an isolated incident.

00:27:29.000 No, it's not.

00:27:30.000 We've had kids knocked out stone cold at UC Berkeley.

00:27:33.000 University of New Mexico, they violently have stormed and canceled two events of ours.

00:27:38.000 You might see where I'm going to be attending next semester where I'm going to be visiting next semester.

00:27:42.000 You see, we have a rule at Turning Point USA.

00:27:45.000 You mess around and you come after us, we're going to come back after you.

00:27:48.000 Remember the Tommy Larin event when they were quarantined and had not just quarantined because of a virus, but because of all the people that disrupted the event and the domestic violent extremists or Benny at University of Iowa, where they came violently after him in his presentation?

00:28:04.000 Or do you remember the Steve Scales shooter, James T. Hodgkinson?

00:28:10.000 Staunch Bernie Sanders supporter that shot Steve Scalise?

00:28:13.000 Or how about the three arrested in connection with violence with the Donald Trump rally in San Jose?

00:28:20.000 Or how about this?

00:28:21.000 Remember the Molotov cocktail-wielding lawyer during Floyd Apalooza in downtown New York?

00:28:27.000 Or how about the armed man who threatened to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh?

00:28:32.000 It sure seems that domestic violent extremism lives in the hearts and the practice of the American left. 0.76

00:28:37.000 Or how about black extremists murdering cops in Dallas and Baton Rouge? 0.84

00:28:42.000 They got radicalized by anti-cop rhetoric. 0.80

00:28:45.000 By the way, how many people have been arrested recently for vandalizing and terrorizing pro-life centers?

00:28:53.000 105 days and not a single arrest for all of the arson and terrorism done to pro-life centers across the country.

00:29:01.000 How about Rand Paul?

00:29:02.000 Rand Paul can barely leave his home without being terrorized by somebody.

00:29:05.000 His neighbor came and beat him up violently.

00:29:07.000 Or remember when he left the White House and he got terrorized and a bloodthirsty mob came after his family?

00:29:13.000 Or do you remember the domestic violent extremist in North Dakota recently that killed a teenager because he was a conservative?

00:29:20.000 Kayler Ellingson was murdered in cold blood by a left-winger because he was a conservative.

00:29:27.000 Which party is the party of domestic violent extremism exactly?

00:29:32.000 Or the pro-life coffee shop owner forced to close after leftists bullied him so badly he was hospitalized?

00:29:39.000 The media doesn't cover any of this.

00:29:40.000 They say, oh yeah, the right wings are fascists. 0.98

00:29:43.000 These are such dishonest people. 0.96

00:29:46.000 For all of history, the left has always needed chaos and violence. 0.74

00:29:50.000 From the French terror to the Bolsheviks to Maoism to today.

00:29:55.000 And I could go through example after example after example of how the left endorses violence, the left appreciates violence, the left uses violence.

00:30:06.000 They love violence.

00:30:08.000 They always have.

00:30:09.000 Remember during 2020, an AOC said protesting shouldn't be comfortable during Floyd of Palooza when they assaulted dozens of Secret Service members and no one went to jail.

00:30:19.000 There was no January 6th committee for the summer of arson or the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone or for CHOP.

00:30:26.000 They're trying to gaslight an entire nation to try to say that somehow conservatives are domestic violent extremists.

00:30:26.000 No, no, no.

00:30:33.000 It's a lie.

00:30:34.000 It's a bitter lie used to try to create a national security apparatus to spy on us, to censor us, to infiltrate our political groups, and to destroy our movements across the country.

00:30:45.000 We're not going to put up with it.

00:30:46.000 We're going to tell the actual story. 0.93

00:30:47.000 The Democrats are the party of violence.

00:30:50.000 They can't win debates, so they must use force.

00:30:57.000 Rents are soaring at unprecedented highs.

00:31:00.000 If you're renting or have a friend or family member, that is, now is a great time to make the move to homeownership.

00:31:06.000 Look, you got to own renting, that's great, reset stuff.

00:31:09.000 Andrew Del Rey and Todd Aveyan at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people make that leap from renting to owning with lots of programs that offer first-time buyers assistance with little to no down payment needed.

00:31:22.000 I encourage you right now to visit my buddies, their website.

00:31:25.000 They're great guys.

00:31:26.000 They're Christians.

00:31:26.000 They're conservatives.

00:31:27.000 They love the Lord.

00:31:28.000 AndrewandTodd.com right now.

00:31:30.000 The thing I love about these guys, it's not about the transaction.

00:31:33.000 They're helping you create a plan to help you reach your goals.

00:31:36.000 Give them a call or go to their website, andrewandTodd.com.

00:31:39.000 With today's still historically low interest rates, it's easier than you think to become a homeowner.

00:31:44.000 I've relied on them and producer Andrew has as well.

00:31:47.000 I highly recommend you take action now.

00:31:49.000 And if you know someone paying rent, tell them about Andrew and Todd.

00:31:52.000 Go to andrewandodd.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.

00:32:00.000 You know, you rarely ever get to see the image of a liberating force going into a tyrannical city or nation to liberate people from their oppressors.

00:32:13.000 But we do have live footage of such a time.

00:32:17.000 Let's get this tape.

00:32:18.000 Let's get this tape for everybody.

00:32:19.000 You know, it very reminds me of the Americans going to Berlin, liberating Paris along the way.

00:32:25.000 Everybody, we have footage.

00:32:26.000 That's right, footage of Elon Musk walking into Twitter headquarters.

00:32:31.000 The liberation is beginning.

00:32:33.000 Of Elon Musk with a $44 billion smile a mile wide, carrying what seems to be a sink of some sorts.

00:32:42.000 Don't quite understand that, but he must be very particular with his type of sinks.

00:32:48.000 Walking right into the very luxurious Twitter headquarters saying, So, where are the bathrooms?

00:32:55.000 I'm in charge now.

00:32:57.000 It is the rare image of a liberator entering the land of the oppressed.

00:33:04.000 I hope he does.

00:33:06.000 One of our team members says, We hope Musk realizes the fight that he is starting.

00:33:11.000 They will freak out.

00:33:12.000 They need censorship.

00:33:13.000 I think Musk is just bold enough.

00:33:19.000 I'm going to use a nice word.

00:33:21.000 His tweet is at Twitter, let that sink in while he carries a sink into Twitter.

00:33:27.000 You got to love it.

00:33:28.000 As he's carrying a sink into the lobby of Twitter.

00:33:31.000 He's trolling them.

00:33:33.000 Let that sink in.

00:33:36.000 Now I get it.

00:33:38.000 Very funny.

00:33:39.000 All right.

00:33:40.000 I didn't plan to start with that story, but it's very rare you get to see the forces go to liberate people from their oppressors.

00:33:47.000 Okay, I want to emphasize this.

00:33:50.000 We're going to go through these tapes as quickly as possible.

00:33:52.000 I'm very encouraged at how smart you are audiences, how knowledgeable you are, how intelligent you are, how sharp you have become.

00:34:01.000 This is exactly why I think we're on the verge of an awakening, an enlightenment, a political movement like anything else.

00:34:07.000 You guys know your stuff.

00:34:10.000 You guys are studying at a very deep and fundamental level. 1.00

00:34:14.000 And MSNBC thought MAGA people are stupid. 1.00

00:34:16.000 Obviously, they didn't go to Yale, and they probably weren't vaccinated, losers. 1.00

00:34:20.000 And so, this wine mom, who I don't know her name, but she's obviously very uninformed, who thought that she could go get pull a fast one on a bunch of deplorable MAGA types about January 6th, she had a focus group. 0.89

00:34:33.000 And I think this is one of the most encouraging videos I've seen in some time because it shows that our movement is truly bottom-up.

00:34:41.000 It's truly grassroots where they know this stuff just as well as I do.

00:34:46.000 The muscular class is red-pilled against this smug elite TV commentator.

00:34:52.000 Play cut 16.

00:34:54.000 Doug Mastriano was at the insurrection and he was photographed breaching one of the restricted areas.

00:35:01.000 Is that okay?

00:35:03.000 Which area?

00:35:03.000 Because I saw a video where Capitol officers were taking away barriers and unlocking doors.

00:35:11.000 I mean, they opened the gates to the city.

00:35:13.000 So it shouldn't be disqualifying for an elected official to participate in January 6th.

00:35:18.000 He didn't strike anybody.

00:35:19.000 He didn't hurt anybody.

00:35:20.000 And the only one that died was a protester there, not a Capitol politician.

00:35:26.000 That's the only one that died.

00:35:28.000 That's the only one who died.

00:35:29.000 They know their stuff. 1.00

00:35:31.000 This woman is an idiot. 1.00

00:35:33.000 Insurrection. 1.00

00:35:34.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:35:35.000 Those people that you're trying to make look stupid on TV for MSNBC are infinitely more wise than you. 1.00

00:35:40.000 They made you look like an idiot. 1.00

00:35:42.000 Play Cut 17. 1.00

00:35:45.000 So, what do you make, though, overall of January 6th?

00:35:48.000 I mean, it was watching that footage.

00:35:49.000 It was pretty disturbing.

00:35:50.000 I mean, there were people throwing excrement at the walls, and it was our, you know, it's the Capitol.

00:35:54.000 It looked a lot like Antiza's action.

00:35:56.000 Yeah, except on a much smaller scale. 0.89

00:35:59.000 It looked the same as the Black Lives Matter riot. 0.95

00:36:02.000 Cut 18. 1.00

00:36:03.000 They continue.

00:36:03.000 I love this.

00:36:04.000 This is how I know we're going to win.

00:36:06.000 Bottom up, play cut 18.

00:36:08.000 Anybody who harmed anybody, anybody who caused property destruction, that needs to be dealt with.

00:36:14.000 But if you're there making your voice heard at the people's house, no less, that's, again, it's a fundamental constitutional right of an American citizen, and people should not be being held political prisoner because of it.

00:36:28.000 For misdemeanors. 0.91

00:36:30.000 That's East Germany. 0.89

00:36:31.000 That's East Germany. 1.00

00:36:32.000 Yeah, that's what's scary. 0.99

00:36:34.000 If anyone on our audience knows any one of these people, please have them contact me.

00:36:38.000 I have a feeling and an urge, and I'm usually right about this, that there's a lot more that they did not air as part of that conversation.

00:36:47.000 If you know anyone that's one of those 10 patriots that had the boldness to challenge the MSNBC, Cabal, email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:36:55.000 We're going to win.

00:36:56.000 We got a bottom-up movement.
