00:00:27.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, we talk about the Derek Chauvin verdict, Greg Gutfeld, Governor Doug Ducey.

00:00:34.000 We talk about Hillsdale College.

00:00:36.000 We talk breaking up a knife fight in Columbus, Ohio.

00:00:39.000 Is America systemically racist?

00:00:41.000 Boy, is this an action-packed episode?

00:00:43.000 I want to hear from all of you.

00:02:53.000 So what is a religion?

00:02:54.000 A religion, according to Wikipedia, which has never been wrong ever, is a religion as a social cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, beliefs, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations that relate humanity to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements.

00:03:15.000 So what is a religion?

00:03:16.000 Again, it is a social cultural system, designated behaviors, a practice, morals, beliefs.

00:03:23.000 I am a religious person.

00:03:24.000 I'm also a rational person.

00:03:27.000 In fact, my love of reason actually informs my faith.

00:03:32.000 Thomas Aquinas famously wrote about this, that the more that we dive into the natural world, the more we understand how there are laws that govern everything around us, the more we understand that creation has a creator.

00:03:47.000 Aristotle called this the unmoved mover.

00:03:50.000 And I think those of us that are religious should be unafraid to talk about the importance of reason.

00:03:56.000 And it's that mixture of reason and revelation that created Western civilization.

00:04:02.000 What if I told you that there is a new religion in America?

00:04:06.000 This religion is not one that might come to your mind immediately.

00:04:13.000 But this religion has sanctified places.

00:04:16.000 This religion has a specific worldview.

00:04:19.000 It has a strange focus on human beings that have almost been sanctified.

00:04:29.000 And this religion is wokeism.

00:04:32.000 This religion has captivated the hearts and minds of our ruling class.

00:04:39.000 This religion has taken over our schools.

00:04:42.000 This religion has infiltrated our activist media.

00:04:49.000 And we saw it on full display yesterday with the guilty verdict decision of Derek Chauvin.

00:04:57.000 Now, I'm not on the jury.

00:04:59.000 I did not watch every single moment of the trial.

00:05:02.000 But do I think that certain testimony very well might have given the seed of reasonable doubt?

00:05:09.000 Yes, I do.

00:05:10.000 But I'm not going to say that the jury necessarily made the bad or wrong decision because I'm actually an admirer of our justice system.

00:05:17.000 I think the judge was right to speak out about Maxine Waters' comments.

00:05:22.000 Do I think that this might result in a retrial?

00:05:25.000 Possibly.

00:05:27.000 But instead, I want to talk about the commentary surrounding the decision.

00:05:34.000 Nancy Pelosi, I think, embodied this best.

00:05:39.000 Before I play that clip, Nancy Pelosi was talking about George Floyd.

00:05:45.000 And I want you to think about this deeply.

00:05:48.000 As she says this, she says, thank you, George Floyd, for dying.

00:05:54.000 Only a religious person would be thanking somebody for dying if they believed that sacrifice was a martyr for a certain purpose.

00:06:04.000 I kid you not.

00:06:05.000 This is what Nancy Pelosi said, play tape.

00:06:08.000 So again, thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice.

00:06:15.000 For being there to call out to your mom.

00:06:18.000 How heartbreaking was that?

00:06:20.000 Call out for your mom.

00:06:22.000 I can't raise.

00:06:23.000 But because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous.

00:06:36.000 So she said that he sacrificed himself, which is a very bizarre way to put it, as if he wanted to die.

00:06:45.000 That is basically the definition of sacrifice, that it's the willing or obedient gesture to inhibit yourself, your freedom, your liberty, your life for a different purpose.

00:07:00.000 Now, maybe Nancy Pelosi misspoke, but this was something that was repeated by many different people.

00:07:06.000 Like George Floyd's girlfriend thanked him for dying, saying that he gave his life.

00:07:12.000 Cut 62.

00:07:14.000 I love him with all my heart.

00:07:17.000 And I'd do anything to have him standing next to me.

00:07:20.000 That's all.

00:07:21.000 But I know.

00:07:23.000 I know he gave his life so this could happen.

00:07:27.000 And I know that he gave his life so that other people's cases can get reopened.

00:07:32.000 We can re-examine the cases that are called.

00:07:34.000 We can get justice for people that deserve it.

00:07:37.000 And so if you're saying that he gave his life, we're glad that he did this.

00:07:42.000 That's what Nancy Pelosi said.

00:07:44.000 Thank you.

00:07:45.000 She's thanking him.

00:07:47.000 That's a completely different narrative than something happening to him.

00:07:51.000 It's either he's a victim or he did this willingly.

00:07:53.000 Now, you might just think I'm arguing semantics here, but words really matter when it comes to how we're portraying these events.

00:08:01.000 And BLM Incorporated reacted as we might have thought they, as we would have thought, they're not satisfied.

00:08:07.000 Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said, this is not justice.

00:08:11.000 Justice is not just one incident, but justice would be a transformational upheaval of the American system.

00:08:22.000 You see, they call this just accountability.

00:08:25.000 Their definition of justice is not the traditional Western or biblical view of justice, which is getting people what they deserve, giving them a process of the presumption of innocence.

00:08:39.000 No, Keith Ellison's definition of justice is taking away property from people, taking away freedom from people, and redesigning society in his image.

00:08:49.000 Cut 67.

00:08:50.000 That long, hard, painstaking work has culminated today.

00:08:54.000 I would not call today's verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration.

00:09:03.000 But it is accountability, which is the first step towards justice.

00:09:08.000 And now the cause of justice is in your hands.

00:09:12.000 And when I say your hands, I mean the hands of the people of the United States.

00:09:17.000 So they're intentionally redefining the word justice to try to justify dramatic and abrupt changes to our entire country.

00:09:30.000 And so this entire moment in America was focused on because it fit a very specific political agenda.

00:09:41.000 I think there was a massive overemphasis on this trial.

00:09:45.000 I think we know too much about it.

00:09:46.000 I mean, most Americans know far too much about a very complicated police stop that happened in Minneapolis.

00:09:54.000 And Joe Biden himself said that the verdict is not enough, and we're loading up that tape, where he said the verdict is not enough.

00:10:01.000 This is just the start of restorative justice, even though none of the numbers, none of the data, none of the facts reflect this idea that blacks are in any way disproportionately being targeted because of the color of their skin or that there is any widespread threat against the black community coming from policing.

00:10:22.000 In fact, it's the exact opposite, that blacks are the beneficiaries of policing in our country.

00:10:27.000 The facts bear that out strongly. 0.88

00:10:31.000 And so the activists are now grappling for their next apparent crisis to keep themselves in front of cameras, to keep themselves in headlines.

00:10:48.000 BLM Incorporated became a multi-billion dollar movement almost overnight because of George Floyd and the justice system played itself out.

00:10:57.000 And I think that a mistrial very well might be in the cards.

00:11:00.000 And Alan Dershowitz is the one that is pushing that forward largely because of Maxine Waters and the potential jury intimidation that happened.

00:11:09.000 But when BLM Incorporated says, quote, we are never going to be satisfied.

00:11:13.000 She asks you the question, what do they actually want?

00:11:17.000 Look, by now you've all heard me talk about my pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his my slippers.

00:11:23.000 Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.

00:11:27.000 He's a patriot.

00:11:28.000 He loves his country.

00:11:29.000 A lot of people like Mike Lindell.

00:11:30.000 In fact, I get emails from people.

00:11:31.000 They say, Charlie, how can I help you?

00:11:33.000 How can I help Mike Lindell?

00:11:35.000 How can I help the country?

00:11:36.000 Well, if you go to mypillow.com and buy anything with the promo code Kirk, it helps both of us.

00:11:42.000 That's right.

00:11:43.000 Maybe you want to go buy the MyPillow slippers.

00:11:46.000 They're beautiful slippers.

00:11:48.000 Maybe you want to buy the My Pillow, My Pillow.

00:11:51.000 My pillow slippers are so comfortable that you want to get some for the whole family.

00:11:55.000 So go to mypillow.com and click on the radio listener square and use promo code Kirk.

00:11:59.000 You'll also get deep discounts on MyPillow products, including the Giza Dream bedsheets, the MyPillow Mattress Toppers, and MyPillow Towel Sets.

00:12:07.000 Or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk.

00:12:12.000 For whatever reason, Apple has us no longer on the Apple podcast charts.

00:12:17.000 I think it's just a glitch.

00:12:18.000 I'm going to hope that's the case.

00:12:21.000 But if a grassroots group of people went and subscribed to our podcast on either Apple Podcast or Spotify, that could definitely help.

00:12:32.000 We're getting some emails here, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:12:36.000 Some about this hyper-corporatization of America.

00:12:41.000 Just got a couple emails on that because I've been commenting a lot on that.

00:12:43.000 We've been posting some podcasts on that.

00:12:46.000 And this is something that, quite honestly, Republicans need a lead on.

00:12:50.000 I spoke here in Dallas at the RNC meetings.

00:12:53.000 I spoke to a really great group of grassroots conservatives and Ronna McDaniel's doing a great job running the RNC.

00:13:00.000 But my group, my message to these grassroots conservatives was three things.

00:13:04.000 And then we'll get more into the Derek Chauvin thing because I think it's really important.

00:13:08.000 My message to these grassroots conservatives was number one, that the RNC and Republicans must lead on election reform to reform our elections.

00:13:16.000 If we do not fix our elections, we are never going to have a constitutional system again.

00:13:21.000 Number two, Republicans and the RNC should lead on breaking up big tech.

00:13:27.000 That's right, breaking them up. 0.69

00:13:29.000 Trust busting 2.0.

00:13:30.000 Break up Google, break up Twitter, break up Facebook.

00:13:33.000 And one of the arguments people make, and they didn't make this today, but I just read an op-ed piece.

00:13:37.000 I'm still trying to process because I don't want to say who wrote it because I just kind of skimmed it in between breaks.

00:13:43.000 But one of the arguments, they say, well, Charlie, if we break up these companies, then China's going to dominate these in the tech space.

00:13:49.000 I say, hold on a second.

00:13:50.000 What's the difference between Google and China?

00:13:53.000 Google panders to China.

00:13:54.000 Google is a Chinese subsidiary as it is.

00:13:57.000 This idea that Google and Facebook are American companies is a joke.

00:14:02.000 They might have some employees in Menlo Park.

00:14:04.000 They're anti-American companies.

00:14:06.000 And you're trying to tell me that if we break up these companies, we're not going to have more entrepreneurs that actually love their country, have an opportunity to be able to take risks in the marketplace and start new businesses.

00:14:18.000 Google, Amazon, and Facebook hate America.

00:14:22.000 They've said that.

00:14:23.000 They do not share our values.

00:14:25.000 They believe America is a temporary colony to make as much money as possible.

00:14:29.000 And then, if needed, they're going to move to Singapore.

00:14:31.000 I believe America is our home.

00:14:33.000 I love this country.

00:14:35.000 My family has fought in every major war in American history.

00:14:40.000 I have a connection to the sacrifice that they made for my grandfather in World War II, to one of my ancestors in the Civil War, to being a son of the American Revolution.

00:14:50.000 The Kirks came here in 1620.

00:14:53.000 I'm not all of a sudden going to turn back on the sacrifices of the people that came before me and say, you know what?

00:15:00.000 This constitutional republic that was given to us to protect natural rights granted to us from God, not by government, it's been nice.

00:15:06.000 I'm going to try and make as much money as I can and be indifferent about the moral and societal and cultural decline, and then I'm going to go move to Wuhan or Singapore.

00:15:16.000 That's not the program I'm signing up for.

00:15:19.000 I'm here to stay.

00:15:20.000 I want to build a family here.

00:15:21.000 This is our home.

00:15:23.000 So anyway, breaking up those tech companies is number two that I said to the RNC.

00:15:26.000 And number three, the RNC members.

00:15:29.000 And number three was that corporations are not your friend.

00:15:32.000 We had a really good, robust conversation with some of the members because some of them pushed back.

00:15:38.000 One of the members, wonderful woman, won't say her name on air.

00:15:42.000 I've known her for a while and she's terrific.

00:15:44.000 But she said, Charlie, I'm a capitalist.

00:15:46.000 Therefore, I love these corporations.

00:15:48.000 And we had a really kind of calm dialogue about it.

00:15:52.000 And I said, first of all, these corporations are not capitalistic.

00:15:55.000 They're monopolistic focused.

00:15:57.000 They want domination over human behavior and of our country.

00:16:00.000 Number two, they have no interest in actually preserving or protecting the welfare of our nation.

00:16:06.000 It's all about instant gratification and profit maximization.

00:16:11.000 I'm not discounting that some of these companies have done nothing but bad things.

00:16:16.000 The third thing that I think that's really interesting, though, is why do we love markets?

00:16:20.000 We love markets because they serve people.

00:16:23.000 And so at its optimal form, we should love the entrepreneur that starts something new, that takes a risk in the marketplace, improves our lives, and then has some sort of obligation to go back and give back to the country they live in.

00:16:38.000 These corporations from Delta to Coca-Cola to Amazon to Major League Baseball, they've exhibited none of that obligation.

00:16:45.000 In fact, it's the opposite.

00:16:46.000 They want to wage economic warfare on their fellow countrymen.

00:16:50.000 They want to split and divide citizens and make them suffer because they disagree with their political views.

00:16:56.000 And so those are the three things I mentioned.

00:17:00.000 We also had a really interesting conversation on immigration, which I can get into.

00:17:05.000 Is that number one, we must fix their elections in our country.

00:17:09.000 The voters are demanding it.

00:17:11.000 It is the number one issue of the American grassroots, and it should be, is to fix the way we do elections.

00:17:17.000 Number two, breaking and smashing big tech up.

00:17:20.000 And they are not American companies.

00:17:22.000 They might be domiciled here in America.

00:17:24.000 They might as well be owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

00:17:27.000 And then number three, corporations are not your friend.

00:17:32.000 With the ever-increasing numbers of makes, fiat kia, and models, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need on a traditional chain storefront.

00:17:39.000 Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning and wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer, choosing the only brand his warehouse happens to carry?

00:17:47.000 You have computers with access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.

00:17:51.000 Chain stores have different price tiers for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.

00:18:45.000 Amazing selection, reliability low prices, all the parts your car will ever need, rockauto.com.

00:18:52.000 I want to get to what happened in Ohio.

00:18:55.000 It seems to be going viral.

00:18:58.000 There's a lot of confusion around that with this story of Makia Bryant.

00:19:08.000 I have a feeling you're going to be hearing that name quite a lot in the coming days, where allegedly Makia Bryant was fighting with one girl and Bryant was trying to stab another girl.

00:19:21.000 A police officer tells her to stop and she doesn't.

00:19:25.000 One of the girls goes on the ground and then charges another girl, pinning her up against a car, trying to stab her with a knife.

00:19:33.000 The officer yells her to get down and then fires what it sounds like four shots. 0.99

00:19:39.000 So, there were three people, there was a three-person knife fight where only one was armed with a knife, and she was clearly looking to cause potentially lethal harm to these girls.

00:19:50.000 And the officer has a responsibility to use force to protect either himself or the third party, and he used to protect the black girls that were being stabbed by Makia Bryant.

00:20:01.000 So, unless I'm missing something dramatic here, this police officer saved young black girls' lives.

00:20:09.000 So, we have a couple cuts on this.

00:20:11.000 Let's go to cut 56 and then cut 57 around this.

00:20:17.000 Cut 56 is some of the footage.

00:20:20.000 I have to give a warning that it might be graphic because I don't want the social media companies to do whatever they do.

00:20:26.000 Play tape.

00:20:38.000 Sounds like chaos because it is chaos. 1.00

00:20:40.000 And so, as simply as I can put it, it's a complete mess of these black girls, one that is trying to stab the other. 1.00

00:20:48.000 And this police officer intervened, actually preventing her from possibly killing and stabbing another person. 1.00

00:20:55.000 Again, these are split-second decisions.

00:20:59.000 So, the BLM Incorporated is already mobilizing, I think this is Columbus, Ohio, to try and represent this as a police officer who intentionally killed a 16-year-old girl just because she was black. 0.64

00:21:16.000 Defund and abolish police, refund our communities.

00:21:19.000 Whoa, Breen Newsom, BLM Incorporated, says, Quote: Teenagers have been having fights, including fights involving knives for eons.

00:21:28.000 We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene and using a weapon against one of the teenagers.

00:21:33.000 Y'all need help.

00:21:34.000 I mean, that sincerely.

00:21:36.000 Huh?

00:21:37.000 Everyone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency, but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children and communities. 0.56

00:21:49.000 Frightening.

00:21:50.000 Frightening level of oppression conditioning, absolutely frightening. 0.96

00:21:55.000 So, basically, Brie Newsom is making an argument that she wants to have no police and govern yourselves in the black community. 0.52

00:22:07.000 That actually might be where this is heading. 0.78

00:22:10.000 This is probably heading to a place where blacks are going to say, We do not want police officers and we are going to enforce our own laws. 0.78

00:22:17.000 Now, absent a government authority actually doing that, you're going to have a gangbanger running the streets, like what happens in Chicago. 0.83

00:22:25.000 You basically have police-free zones in Chicago.

00:22:28.000 For all my friends listening on AM560, the answer, there are areas where the police do not regularly patrol.

00:22:34.000 It's run by the gangs.

00:22:35.000 They will come to go clean up the dead.

00:22:38.000 They'll come to go mop up the blood, but they are not regularly patrolled.

00:22:43.000 They're not.

00:22:44.000 And there's almost a not-so-secret deal that the police don't want to get shot.

00:22:48.000 So they say, You guys are in charge of yourselves.

00:22:50.000 They're basically no-go zones.

00:22:52.000 Now, what neighborhoods am I talking about?

00:22:55.000 I'm talking about Little Village.

00:22:59.000 I'm talking about Dunning.

00:23:01.000 I'm talking about Morgan Park.

00:23:03.000 I'm talking about West Pullman.

00:23:04.000 I'm talking about Washington Heights.

00:23:07.000 For those of you in Chicago, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

00:23:09.000 I'm talking about the lower west side.

00:23:10.000 Now, there are parts where the cops are very visible and they police quite often.

00:23:19.000 Of course, I'm talking about the Streeterville area or Lincoln Park area or the Lakeview area. 0.98

00:23:25.000 But this idea of, you know what, we're not going to have police in these black areas. 0.98

00:23:30.000 How's that working out for Chicago?

00:23:32.000 We know that.

00:23:33.000 A person in 2020, a person in 2020 was shot every two hours and six minutes, and a person was murdered every 11 hours and six minutes.

00:23:43.000 There was somebody shot and killed.

00:23:44.000 There were 719 people shot and killed in Chicago in 2020 and 3,455 people shot and wounded with 4,174 people total shot and 792 homicides in Chicago. 0.96

00:23:57.000 Almost all of that is black on black crime. 0.52

00:24:00.000 The deadliest neighborhoods, Austin, Englewood, Garfield Park, North Lawndale, Humboldt Park, Auburn, Gresham, Grand Crossing, South Shore, Chatham, Roseland, Little Village, South Chicago, Chicago Lawn, Near Westside, West Pullman. 1.00

00:24:11.000 Those are almost all black communities. 1.00

00:24:13.000 They're all black communities.

00:24:14.000 One of those is a Hispanic Latino community.

00:24:16.000 One of them.

00:24:16.000 As I know, as I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, willing to be corrected if I might be off on some of the demographic changes in Chicago.

00:24:23.000 But this idea that removal of all police is all of a sudden going to be this introduction of peace is ridiculous.

00:24:36.000 Remember Chaz?

00:24:38.000 Do you remember the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle?

00:24:44.000 Where I believe the body count was two people after a couple days, including a young black man, and we still do not know who killed that young black man. 0.99

00:24:53.000 By the way, the rationale that BLM Incorporated is trying to push forward for whatever happened in Ohio, which we just looked at, but I'm sure more information is going to come out, is that knife fights are a thing that we should allow happen.

00:25:07.000 That's a bizarre line of reasoning, that knife fights are okay, that teenagers have been having knife fights for quite some time.

00:25:19.000 Well, a knife is a lethal weapon.

00:25:22.000 And the police officer actually intervened and saved lives in this situation.

00:25:26.000 Over its 24-day history at the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, it saw two gun homicides and four additional shooting victims.

00:25:35.000 In the end, the homicide rate in Chas turned out to be 1,216 per 100,000 people, nearly 50 times greater than that of Chicago's.

00:25:46.000 And so Columbus is about to become the new Minneapolis. 0.88

00:25:49.000 These Midwestern cities can only take so much of this nonstop blitzkrieg from BLM Incorporated and Al Sharpton and Bere Newsome and Robin DiAngelo and Taha Nisi Coates.

00:26:03.000 So let's close the loop on the Derek Chauvin trial.

00:26:07.000 Greg Gutfeld said something that was very controversial.

00:26:10.000 I'm actually going to defend him a little bit because I think he didn't say it very artfully.

00:26:15.000 I don't agree with what he said, but I'm going to say what he was trying to say because Greg's a friend of mine and I think it's been unfair the way people have piled on him and he's actually done a great job for our country.

00:26:26.000 Let's play Cut 60.

00:26:27.000 And now I'm going to just get really selfish.

00:26:30.000 I'm glad that he was found guilty on all charges.

00:26:33.000 Yeah.

00:26:34.000 Even if he might not be guilty of all charges.

00:26:37.000 Oh my God.

00:26:37.000 I am glad that he is guilty of all charges because I want a verdict that keeps this country from going up in flames.

00:26:45.000 Uh-uh.

00:26:46.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:26:46.000 No.

00:26:47.000 What do you mean?

00:26:48.000 Look, Greg, listen.

00:26:50.000 What do you mean?

00:26:50.000 No, I'm at least being honest.

00:26:52.000 My neighborhood was looted.

00:26:55.000 I don't ever want to go through that again.

00:26:57.000 So here's what Greg's saying.

00:26:59.000 It's not artful.

00:27:01.000 No one should be glad that someone gets a sentence if you do not believe that sentence is warranted.

00:27:06.000 What Greg is basically, the argument that Greg was making, and I don't think he meant to make it this way.

00:27:11.000 I'm actually going to say what I think Greg was trying to say.

00:27:14.000 This clip has gone totally viral, by the way.

00:27:15.000 But I think that what it sounded like Greg was saying is, feed Chauvin to the wolves as long as it keeps my streets safe.

00:27:22.000 That's not the right argument.

00:27:23.000 That's what he said.

00:27:24.000 That's not what he meant to say.

00:27:26.000 What he meant to say is this, is that the mob has so much power that if this verdict was not reached, a greater evil would have been executed on America.

00:27:37.000 That's what Greg was saying.

00:27:39.000 And I think that Greg was trying to be snarky and witty in a moment that it really wasn't there that much space for that.

00:27:47.000 And it just, the whole segment blew up from there.

00:27:50.000 But I'm going to defend what Greg's sentiment was.

00:27:53.000 I don't agree with it because I actually think you shouldn't all of a sudden say, hey, even I don't think he's guilty, just put him away because I don't want my street to be burned.

00:28:01.000 But Greg's sentiment was likely felt by one of the jurors.

00:28:04.000 And Greg's sentiment, by the way, is felt by a lot of Americans.

00:28:07.000 And Greg was expressing on cable television the most important thing.

00:28:12.000 Greg was expressing on cable television something that was missed by all the other commentators and all the Twitter people that have been writing this up.

00:28:22.000 You know what they missed?

00:28:24.000 That very few people are willing to admit that these riots have a very real effect on how we analyze, process, and make decisions in our country.

00:28:35.000 And Greg said the secret part out loud.

00:28:38.000 And I, again, I don't agree with him.

00:28:40.000 I think that's wrong, but I also think he's in some way of a defense because I think there was a more artful way to say it.

00:28:44.000 If Greg would have just said this, listen, if this would have been a not guilty verdict, the streets would have burned and I don't want to see the streets burned.

00:28:53.000 If he would have said that, no one would have cared.

00:28:55.000 Instead, Greg said what a lot of people, millions of people in the minority communities of our country were thinking, please, I hope he's guilty because my convenience store is going to get burned down.

00:29:08.000 Instead, we should take a pause and say, hold on a second, why would your convenience store get burned down?

00:29:12.000 How is that a healthy or normal thing?

00:29:14.000 That we have to mobilize the National Guard and militarize our streets because all of a sudden there's going to be a verdict that you don't like from a jury of your peers?

00:29:22.000 And then we're supposed to believe that this trial, that the jury wasn't influenced by it?

00:29:27.000 Again, maybe they were, maybe they weren't.

00:29:29.000 Maybe they actually did go home and not look at their phone and not listen to the radio and not look at their social media feed and not look at their TV.

00:29:35.000 And maybe they just went home and read books for the last two weeks.

00:29:38.000 Maybe that happened.

00:29:39.000 Or maybe there was a not so subtle influence of the jury that was living in Minneapolis looking at the city that they love, looking at the businesses they own, looking at the relatives in the community around them and saying, you know what?

00:29:50.000 I'm not going to be outed, outed, or doxxed or be part of something like this.

00:29:54.000 And by the way, I very well might have come to the same decision that the jury might have come to.

00:29:59.000 Again, I tend to yield with the side of the jury on these things.

00:30:03.000 Very rarely do I think do I make public statements that the jury is wrong.

00:30:07.000 And I actually think our system of justice should work generally.

00:30:14.000 Do I think it's fair to say that a sitting congresswoman can threaten and hold an entire civilization hostage by that?

00:30:23.000 Absolutely not.

00:30:24.000 And what Greg did is prove the point that we've been making.

00:30:28.000 In fact, Greg's commentary right there could be used in an appeal.

00:30:33.000 I don't know if his specific words, but his sentiment can be used in an appeal by Chauvin saying, hey, people wanted me to be guilty because they didn't want their civilization to burn down.

00:30:44.000 That's what Greg was saying.

00:30:46.000 And the fact that that sentiment exists is true.

00:30:50.000 And it's so unhealthy and it's wrong.

00:30:54.000 It's wrong that we are cheering for someone to get locked away because we don't want our civilization to unravel.

00:31:02.000 A lot of people are happy today that there's peace in the streets.

00:31:06.000 But why is there peace in the streets?

00:31:08.000 Is there peace in the streets because we have self-control of our impulses and our desires?

00:31:15.000 Or is there peace in the streets because the mob got what they wanted?

00:31:20.000 For now.

00:31:23.000 But they'll just move on to the next event.

00:31:25.000 And that's not justice.

00:31:27.000 That's chaos.

00:31:28.000 Now, there actually might be a retrial for Derek Chauvin.

00:31:32.000 Let's go to cut 72.

00:31:33.000 Alan Dershowitz agrees with me that the unstated, that's not the right way to say it, the obvious, that's the best way, the obvious thing in front of us all in regards to this trial was that there was a sword of Damocles above all of our heads.

00:31:52.000 I'm going to tell you what the sword of Damocles is, play tape.

00:31:56.000 Their threats and intimidation and hanging the sword of Damocles over the jury and basically saying if you don't convict on the murder charge on all the charges, the cities will burn, the country will be destroyed, seeped into the jury room because the judge made a terrible mistake by not sequestering the jury.

00:32:16.000 So the judge himself said this case may be reversed on appeal.

00:32:20.000 And I think it might be reversed on appeal.

00:32:22.000 I think it should be reversed on appeal.

00:32:25.000 Next, 173, I think we have on Alan Dershowitz, where he believes it should be reversed on appeal.

00:32:31.000 Play tape.

00:32:33.000 I can criticize Waters.

00:32:35.000 I can criticize Sharpton.

00:32:38.000 These folks took what they did right out of the playbook of the Deep South in the 1920s when prominent public officials would whoop up the crowds in front of the courthouse demanding conviction of black people and acquittal of white people.

00:32:51.000 And the Supreme Court and other courts reversed convictions based on that because jurors should not be intimidated or influenced by what goes on outside the courtroom.

00:33:01.000 So the sword of Damocles, as Alan Dershowitz mentioned, is this phrase you're going to hear more and more, but it's a threat.

00:33:09.000 And it comes from Roman times and the great Cicero, who was killed, by the way.

00:33:15.000 He was killed due to a conspiracy.

00:33:18.000 I believe it was Brutus and Mark Antony who conspired against Cicero in the second triumphant.

00:33:24.000 Now you're really testing my Roman history here.

00:33:27.000 Cicero was awesome.

00:33:28.000 He was a one-year Roman counsel.

00:33:31.000 He actually argued for the American system of government before anyone else.

00:33:37.000 Cicero famously said, the more laws, the less justice.

00:33:41.000 He was a lawyer, a best-selling author, and he ridiculed his opponents, which is why they ended up killing him.

00:33:48.000 But anyway, the sword of Damocles is this threat.

00:33:51.000 It's a story.

00:33:51.000 It's a legend in Greek and Roman times of this threat that if you do something wrong, this will hang above you, and the sword shall hang above the throne.

00:34:04.000 And so everyone will always watch in fear and anxiety that the sword might be used against you.

00:34:09.000 And the sword is always hanging above you when you come and you visit the king.

00:34:15.000 And so the story is more intimate than that.

00:34:18.000 It's not more intimate.

00:34:19.000 It's more detailed than that.

00:34:19.000 But the point is that this is always hanging over us.

00:34:22.000 This threat that, hey, we're going to deploy the mob against you.

00:34:25.000 We're going to mobilize the swarm.

00:34:28.000 The horde of unhappy activists might be coming to a restaurant near you, might be coming to your church.

00:34:36.000 And so, of course, when Greg Gutfeld, again, I believe not artfully, but he says a sentiment that so many Americans are feeling, not one I actually believe, by the way, that, hey, throw Chauvin away and our streets will be safe.

00:34:54.000 So whether you really realize it or not, we're living in a hostage situation. 0.55

00:35:00.000 We are living in a situation where BLM Incorporated has taken decent and civil society and safe streets and our American way of life hostage.

00:35:11.000 If they do not get specifically what they demand, they will riot, loot, and burn with no consequences, by the way. 0.50

00:35:19.000 As just today, In the last couple days, the Portland DA and the local Portland government, they dropped charges from all of the rioters from last summer.

00:35:38.000 Just let go.

00:35:39.000 So there is no price to widespread looting.

00:35:46.000 There's only a reward.

00:35:48.000 So if you know basic economics, you know that when you subsidize something, you get more of it.

00:35:54.000 That there's an incentive structure.

00:35:56.000 Incentives are one of the things that drive economic behavior.

00:36:01.000 In economics, it's a war against scarcity.

00:36:03.000 That's what economics is. 0.67

00:36:06.000 There's an incentive to riot.

00:36:09.000 It's very little cost.

00:36:10.000 You're probably not going to get caught.

00:36:11.000 And if you do, you're not going to get charged.

00:36:12.000 And if you get charged, you get your riot, your bail paid for, and you get a good social media post out of it that you are fighting the system of oppression.

00:36:20.000 But the advantage, you have to feel like a hero, and you might get what you want.

00:36:27.000 The new way of achieving a political goal in America is not canvassing and running for office.

00:36:33.000 It's burning American streets to the ground.

00:36:35.000 And whether you realize it or not, you're being held hostage by that threat.

00:36:40.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is the number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?

00:36:47.000 My work schedule has been rather hectic lately, and I'm noticing it's starting to wear me down, even when I'm getting all my workouts in.

00:36:53.000 And in fact, I still feel like I'm stressed.

00:36:55.000 That's why I'm excited to share with you more about a magnesium product I discovered.

00:36:59.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactors in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.

00:37:05.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.

00:37:12.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and they're not full spectrum.

00:37:16.000 When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.

00:37:20.000 With one more simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, feel less anxious.

00:37:25.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:37:51.000 We just got a couple people saying, Charlie, I'm trying to find your podcast on a certain topic.

00:37:56.000 So every phone has a podcast app.

00:38:00.000 And yes, the background of my phone is Winston Churchill.

00:38:03.000 Winston Churchill on a cloudy day, probably 36 degrees, and it says the background of my phone is people ask me all the time, Charlie, what's the background of your phone?

00:38:12.000 It looks kind of weird. 0.78

00:38:13.000 Winston Churchill says, what is the use of living if it is not to strive for noble causes and make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we have gone?

00:38:24.000 Winston Churchill was the greatest man of the 20th century.

00:38:27.000 You know, I was just speaking in North Dakota the other day, and I told this, the last story I told, I could have, I just, on a stack of Bibles, I could have said I said this correctly, but I don't think I did because three or four people came up to me.

00:38:37.000 And I told this whole story about how Winston Churchill, right when Pearl Harbor was bombed, he turned to his war cabinet and he said, we have now won the war.

00:38:50.000 Now the Americans have woken up.

00:38:51.000 I told the whole story, but I never said Winston Churchill's name.

00:38:53.000 I just said the greatest man to live in the 20th century.

00:38:55.000 So some people are coming up like, did you mean FDR?

00:38:57.000 I'm like, of course I didn't mean FDR.

00:38:58.000 So anyway, everyone has a phone and in a phone, you have a podcast app.

00:39:03.000 Apple Podcast preloads that on your Apple device.

00:39:07.000 And if you hit podcast type in Charlie Kirk Show, subscribe.

00:39:10.000 It helps us a lot.

00:39:11.000 We have been suspiciously removed from the Apple podcast charts.

00:39:15.000 We believe hopefully it's just a glitch.

00:39:17.000 But let's send them a message and have everyone subscribe at home.

00:39:20.000 You guys can email us in real-time freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:39:23.000 I love hearing from you as we are broadcasting coast to coast, the Charlie Kirk show from Spokane to Riverside to Hawaii to New York.

00:39:33.000 We are honored to always be with you.

00:39:34.000 Okay, I want to get into a couple things here.

00:39:37.000 I didn't play this tape before.

00:39:39.000 Okay, let's go to this one.

00:39:40.000 Cut 69.

00:39:41.000 Some BLM supporter says, yes, we can defund the police, and maybe one day we'll abolish the police, but we're not going to do anything until we have control over them.

00:39:48.000 Cut 69.

00:39:49.000 Yes, we can defund the police. 0.98

00:39:52.000 And maybe one day we will abolish the police, but we ain't going to do shit unless we have control over them. 0.98

00:39:58.000 That is the number one thing right now. 0.99

00:40:00.000 They're not going to let these pigs in these buildings have any more control over our lives today. 1.00

00:40:05.000 That shit ends today. 1.00

00:40:08.000 And so Cut 70 is a BLM supporter saying we go beyond voting and we need to come out every single day. 1.00

00:40:14.000 Cut 70.

00:40:15.000 We need to go way beyond voting at this point.

00:40:19.000 We need to be coming out here every single day if that's what it takes until we get justice for the people that they murdered a week ago and they've already forgotten about.

00:40:27.000 The only reason, once again, that we got this conviction is because we showed up.

00:40:34.000 And if we don't keep showing up and if we don't change laws and we don't attack this system from every single angle we can, we will be here again.

00:40:45.000 So these people are such intellectual lightweights.

00:40:47.000 It's hard to believe that they're in charge of our country, but they kind of are.

00:40:50.000 And I want to just hone in on one thing. 0.98

00:40:53.000 I can't tell if that's a man or a woman or non-binary.

00:40:55.000 I'm not going to assume a gender.

00:40:57.000 Whatever that activist is or whomever that person is, not sure. 1.00

00:41:01.000 Sounded like a woman. 1.00

00:41:03.000 I'm sure that the ACLU is going to come out with some sort of thing saying that Charlie Kirk is trying to assume people's sounds like a woman. 0.94

00:41:10.000 Probably a woman, but who knows?

00:41:12.000 And so not very clear.

00:41:16.000 But this person says we only got justice because we showed up.

00:41:21.000 Huh?

00:41:22.000 Isn't that the whole point that we're trying to make that this decision very well might have been impacted by the threats that you've been levying, such as we have to go beyond voting.

00:41:31.000 We have to burn the entire system to the ground.

00:41:33.000 She didn't say that.

00:41:34.000 She said we have to tear the whole system to the ground or work within it.

00:41:36.000 I'm paraphrasing the essence of it.

00:41:39.000 Heather McDonald on Tucker Carlson, who is just a guest on our podcast, says we do not have a hot riot tonight, but we know what a riot is, and therefore we know the punishment if we don't give the horde what they want.

00:41:55.000 Cut 63.

00:41:57.000 The demoralization is so huge.

00:41:59.000 We don't have hot riots tonight, Tucker, but we've been having a slow riot for the last year.

00:42:04.000 We're going to have a slow riot for the next four years.

00:42:06.000 Biden today said enough of these senseless killings.

00:42:09.000 Was he referring to the dozens of blacks who were gunned down fatally every day in drive-by shootings?

00:42:14.000 Was he referring to seven-year-old Jaslyn Adams, who was shot fatally six times at a McDonald's in Chicago over the weekend?

00:42:21.000 Of course not.

00:42:22.000 He was referring to a phantom.

00:42:23.000 That phantom is the idea of systemic police bias.

00:42:27.000 And now the Aristotle of our time, AOC, had a hot take saying this is not justice.

00:42:32.000 This is just the beginning.

00:42:34.000 You see, you have to understand, for those of us that do this every single day, this is very obvious to us, but these people want a fundamentally different America.

00:42:44.000 This is not a policy debate.

00:42:46.000 This is a question of whether or not America is going to be radically transformed.

00:42:50.000 CUT 54.

00:42:52.000 So no.

00:42:55.000 This verdict is not justice.

00:42:59.000 Frankly, I don't even think we call it full accountability because there are multiple officers that were there.

00:43:11.000 It wasn't just Derek Chauvin.

00:43:15.000 And I also don't want this moment to be framed as this system working working because it's not working.

00:43:25.000 Now, the most depressing part of that is that mountain of gibberish that she just spouted for 30 seconds.

00:43:33.000 Couldn't really make sense of it.

00:43:35.000 There were just like this line of comments, one after the other, of people being like, preach, OMFG, you're amazing.

00:43:43.000 You go girl.

00:43:44.000 I can't really make sense of anything she just said, except for the fact that she is displeased.

00:43:53.000 Because if you're thankful, if you're happy, that does not play well for a revolution.

00:44:04.000 There has never been a thankful people that have staged a revolution.

00:44:10.000 Ever.

00:44:11.000 Thankful people tend not to want to destroy everything around them.

00:44:14.000 People that are thankful for what they've been given or what they've worked for or the people around them or the grace of God tend to not want to go burn everything down.

00:44:24.000 It's a general rule of thumb, something that should be a rather healthy predictor of what's going to happen next.

00:44:35.000 Now, you need to rail against the system.

00:44:38.000 And so if she was to say, you know what, we won this one.

00:44:41.000 Let's go home, guys.

00:44:42.000 This is great.

00:44:44.000 Kind of take the wind out of the sails of this alleged revolutionary moment.

00:44:48.000 And Joe Biden is saying it too.

00:44:50.000 Joe Biden needs the hostage situation of America to continue.

00:44:56.000 It's helpful to the Democrats.

00:44:57.000 It can help them in public policy conversations, help them in debates.

00:45:00.000 And let me tell you where this is headed.

00:45:03.000 This is headed to a place where soon the activists will say, if you do not expand the court, we are going to riot.

00:45:12.000 If you do not add D.C. as a state, we are going to riot.

00:45:16.000 CUT 71.

00:45:17.000 Joe Biden says this verdict's not enough.

00:45:19.000 Cut 71.

00:45:20.000 Systemic racism is a stain on our nation's soul. 0.98

00:45:25.000 The knee on the neck of justice for black Americans.

00:45:29.000 Today's verdict is a step forward, but it's not enough.

00:45:34.000 We can't stop here.

00:45:36.000 In order to deliver real change and reform, we can and we must do more to reduce the likelihood that tragedies like this will ever happen to occur again.

00:45:46.000 Systemic racism, those are two words that no one is ever able to define with any sort of precision at all, with no detail, but they sound true. 0.83

00:45:58.000 So this idea of systemic racism is that because of any disparities that we see in the black community, racism and the system of racism is to blame. 1.00

00:46:08.000 The best book that debunks this is Discrimination and Disparities by a black economist, Thomas Sowell.

00:46:14.000 And his general thesis is this.

00:46:18.000 You're going to have differences in life.

00:46:22.000 You're especially going to have differences based on cultural and linguistic prerequisites.

00:46:29.000 Thomas Sowell argues that there are thousands of prerequisites that could possibly determine outputs and with it, a disparity.

00:46:39.000 But blaming discrimination or racism on that output as the sole and leading and largely contributing factor is not just wrong.

00:46:51.000 It's dangerous.

00:46:52.000 In fact, it only satisfies a political agenda, one where people want to keep on getting elected and staying in power.

00:47:02.000 It is very unhelpful to actually try to solve problems of which they're not trying to do. 0.56

00:47:07.000 So Thomas Soules, again, his argument is things are different in the white community and the black community.

00:47:13.000 Why is it time to stop renting and buy your first home?

00:47:20.000 Owning your home is an investment in your future.

00:47:22.000 And with today's low rates, now is the time to do it.

00:47:25.000 Often with mortgage payment, it's the same as rent.

00:47:27.000 So why pay for someone else's mortgage payment?

00:47:29.000 Going through the mortgage process for the first time means you're going to have lots of questions.

00:47:34.000 You need someone you can trust.

00:47:36.000 I recommend Andrew and Todd at andrewandtodd.com.

00:47:40.000 They are with Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:47:42.000 These guys are honest, trustworthy professionals who can answer all of your questions and walk you through the entire process.

00:47:49.000 They help first-time homebuyers and put the actual plan together.

00:47:52.000 And because Andrew and Todd are bankers, not brokers, Andrew and Todd and their team personally work with you from the start to finish.

00:47:58.000 You always have someone in your corner.

00:48:00.000 I've heard amazing things about Andrew and Todd.

00:48:03.000 So take the first step towards home ownership.

00:48:05.000 You know you want to.

00:48:06.000 Just go online and answer a few questions at andrewandtodd.com.

00:48:10.000 That's andrewandtodd.com.

00:48:11.000 If you guys are a mortgage, maybe you're looking to buy a home, do it why rates are low.

00:48:15.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, andrewandtodd.com.

00:48:20.000 We got an email here from Eva.

00:48:22.000 I think you may have been kicked off podcasts on Apple Podcasts because when I go to your podcast page, it just says connecting.

00:48:27.000 I checked other podcasts to listen to on Apple and their pages are fine.

00:48:32.000 We'll see what happens.

00:48:33.000 But if you guys in record numbers try and do that, and if you can, let us know.

00:48:37.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com if you're able to subscribe.

00:48:40.000 If not, on Spotify, our podcast is doing record numbers.

00:48:44.000 We're growing very quickly.

00:48:46.000 It's been awesome.

00:48:48.000 And then we do one episode asking the question: did Derek Chauvin get a fair trial?

00:48:53.000 And like that, we just disappear.

00:48:56.000 Maybe it's just a technical glitch.

00:48:59.000 DailyWire.com, Tennessee Tech professors post flyers calling colleague Turning Point USA Advisor racist.

00:49:05.000 Two Tennessee Tech University professors are under investigation for posting flyers that designated their colleagues as racist.

00:49:12.000 Andrew Smith, an associate professor of English, and Julia Gruber, an associate professor of German. 1.00

00:49:18.000 It's a great name.

00:49:19.000 Grube, Gemini.

00:49:20.000 Of course she teaches German. 0.96

00:49:22.000 Admitted to posting insulting flyers around the school of associate nursing professor and Turning Point USA advisor Andrew Donadillo.

00:49:31.000 The flyers condemn the concerted activist group and its professor watchlist, which ranks how biased progressive professors are.

00:49:38.000 The flyer reads, this racist professor thought it'd be a great idea to help start a Tennessee Tech chapter for this national hate group where racists, students can unite to harass, threaten, intimidate, or terrorize persons of color, feminists, liberals, and the like, especially their teachers.

00:49:52.000 Their organization created a national professor watchlist to harass and intimidate professor educators, including many women, African Americans, and Muslim professors.

00:49:59.000 In the middle of the flyer was a picture of Donadillo.

00:50:01.000 The photo was captioned, Professor Donadillo and Turning Point USA, you're on our list. 0.97

00:50:05.000 Your hate and hypocrisy are not welcome at Tennessee Tech. 0.97

00:50:07.000 No unity with racist hate speech is not free speech. 0.99

00:50:10.000 Huh.

00:50:11.000 So we're being lectured by Julia Grube, the German professor, about she's making lists of people.

00:50:22.000 Huh. 0.51

00:50:23.000 Maybe the German professor should know a little bit about the danger of creating lists and targeting Professor Donadillo on the campus.

00:50:32.000 Interesting.

00:50:34.000 Saying, literally targeting him.

00:50:35.000 Now, people say that Professor Watchlist is something that it isn't.

00:50:38.000 It's literally a public, a publicly available list of things that people have said that are third-party verified.

00:50:46.000 You can check it out at professorwatchlist.org.

00:50:50.000 Smith and Grube believe that hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment, though they are arguing that their criticism and name-calling of professor is protected by the First Amendment.

00:51:01.000 Interesting.

00:51:02.000 You guys could check out Professor Watchlist for yourself.

00:51:05.000 It's a very popular project. 0.93

00:51:07.000 Parents, teachers, alumni, donors have a right to know the anti-American nonsense and garbage that your children are learning.

00:51:16.000 It really bothers them because we're finally unmasking these radical professors and our universities. 0.99

00:51:20.000 For example, Jennifer Beagle from the New School, she tweeted out: if you support the March for Life but aren't a woman, please sit down and shut the F up. 0.99

00:51:34.000 If you support March for Life but don't support gun control, please sit down and shut up. 0.96

00:51:40.000 She tweeted against law enforcement many times.

00:51:43.000 And that's just one of many examples that you can find on professorwatchlist.org.

00:51:48.000 What you have here is professors targeting other professors, calling him a racist, and calling him a Nazi because he associates with Turning Point USA.

00:52:02.000 No sense of irony at all whatsoever.

00:52:08.000 Gruba says, I am relieved to learn that Mr. Donadillo has issues with being called a racist.

00:52:13.000 This tells me that he doesn't identify one.

00:52:15.000 I would therefore like to extend invitation to help him help us and our anti-racist activities in our campus and in our community.

00:52:22.000 Extraordinary.

00:52:24.000 These are the people that are teaching our children.

00:52:26.000 These are professors.

00:52:27.000 These are supposed to be people that do deep thinking and exploring truth and trying to build character and wisdom in the next generation.

00:52:38.000 Instead, they are spewing venom and mobilizing other professors against one professor at Tennessee Tech University that wants to help get a Turning Point USA chapter started.

00:52:50.000 Just a little bit of a conservative voice on campus, but no, that's not allowed.

00:52:54.000 In the eyes of the activist professors that make an extraordinary amount of money, it's not okay to have one conservative thought, not one iota of a center-right perspective.

00:53:11.000 Instead, they want college campuses to be permanent islands of totalitarianism, islands of Stalinism.

00:53:18.000 The left has never believed in freedom of speech, discourse, or dialogue.

00:53:23.000 They are now using their power, both political and cultural power, to create us into a one-party state.

00:53:31.000 They just want us to be under the party.

00:53:35.000 We're up is down, and left is right, and war is peace, as George Orwell used to say.

00:53:41.000 It turns out that Apple is playing games with us.

00:53:44.000 People cannot access our podcast feed, which is really bizarre and quite honestly inexplicable.

00:53:55.000 This is a very well-listened to podcast.

00:53:59.000 And for whatever reason, almost every other podcast out there that can conservative podcast seems to be out there in the charts.

00:54:05.000 Ours is mysteriously missing from the landscape.

00:54:09.000 It could be because we decided to do an episode on George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, or maybe it could be a technical glitch.

00:54:18.000 I think we all know what's really happening in our country.

00:54:21.000 So we'll keep you updated on that.

00:54:25.000 Rather critical.

00:54:29.000 Senator Sherrod Brown has commented on the teenager knife wielder, attempted murderer, who was killed in the Columbus police shooting, saying she should be alive right now.

00:54:42.000 She was trying to kill somebody with a knife, and that sort of context is important.

00:54:46.000 And then the race hustler himself, Crump, what's his name? 0.99

00:54:53.000 He's the worst.

00:54:55.000 Crump, Ben Crump, he pops up everywhere.

00:54:58.000 Ben Crump is ubiquitous.

00:55:04.000 This guy, I mean, you turn over a rock.

00:55:08.000 Ben Crump is, I've never seen a guy on television so much.

00:55:11.000 He's like Al Sharpton race hustler, 1980s, early 90s.

00:55:15.000 And many of you don't know this.

00:55:18.000 I think her name was Tawina Brawley.

00:55:21.000 Is that her name?

00:55:24.000 Yeah, Tawana Brawley.

00:55:26.000 Yeah.

00:55:26.000 I meant no offense by her mispronouncing her name.

00:55:30.000 Totally made up, though, by the way.

00:55:32.000 A completely fictitious hate crime that Al Sharpton pushed on the American people.

00:55:39.000 Al Sharpton decided to do this massive revamp by losing all this weight, as if we'll forget that he was exploiting our country.

00:55:48.000 Ben Crump came out and he says, as we breathe a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting who killed an unarmed 15-year-old black girl.

00:55:57.000 Not true. 0.98

00:55:58.000 Now, mind you, they tried this race hustle. 0.89

00:56:01.000 In fact, Eric Kaufman, who we had on our podcast, which I would tell you to go subscribe to our podcast if Apple all of a sudden didn't disappear, our podcast. 0.52

00:56:08.000 Eric Kaufman has this really nice chart.

00:56:11.000 I guess you could call it beautiful.

00:56:12.000 It's a nice chart, really informative, I should say.

00:56:15.000 And it has all the peaks and valleys of what Americans have cared about racism.

00:56:18.000 And the time they cared about racism at the highest was the Rodney King riots and also right near the Al Sharpton race hustling hoax.

00:56:24.000 Ben Crump is right on the precipice of this.

00:56:30.000 Ben Crump seems to just, he is the new Al Sharpton.

00:56:33.000 Everything is racist.

00:56:34.000 We need dramatic action.

00:56:37.000 We're going to keep on covering that story.

00:56:41.000 But I want to get to Arizona.

00:56:44.000 The governor of Arizona is Doug Ducey.

00:56:46.000 I know Doug Ducey.

00:56:47.000 I have nothing against him personally.

00:56:49.000 But he has some explaining to do.

00:56:51.000 I'm puzzled by this.

00:56:53.000 So I spend a lot of my time here in Arizona.

00:56:58.000 I care about Arizona.

00:56:59.000 I'm seeing Arizona turn quickly into a California suburb.

00:57:03.000 Arizona is, they now legalized weed in Arizona, which is a terrible idea.

00:57:09.000 In fact, 420 was recently, I guess it was yesterday.

00:57:11.000 I'm happy to walk through why I'm against the legalization of marijuana.

00:57:16.000 There's a really interesting book by Alex Berenson that I think is super important.

00:57:21.000 Anyway, Arizona legalized weed.

00:57:23.000 Two Democrat senators voted for Joe Biden, just raised taxes.

00:57:27.000 And Arizona is pushing some of the most graphic sex education curriculum at the local level, becoming California 2.0.

00:57:35.000 So the Arizona House of Representatives and the Arizona Senate passed Senate Bill 1456, which is a pretty vanilla bill that said that sex education around gender identity or gender expression, whatever that means, that the state is not allowed to teach your children about that.

00:58:03.000 It would have mandated that parents give consent before their children learn about LGBTQ issues.

00:58:11.000 It also prohibited schools from teaching about HIV or AIDS without consent.

00:58:18.000 And so Ducey vetoed this bill.

00:58:21.000 Governor Ducey did.

00:58:23.000 And said that the bill was, quote, overly broad and vague and could lead to serious consequences, including a very real possibility that could be misrepresented by schools and in result in standing in the way of important child abuse prevention education in the early grades for at-risk and vulnerable children.

00:58:41.000 But he also signed an executive order that he said imposes strict requirements for sex education.

00:58:48.000 His order requires meetings that held for reviewing sex education standards to be publicly announced at least two weeks in advance and opens the public, and it makes any proposed sex education courses accessible for public review at least 60 days, given a district approves it.

00:59:02.000 I agree with that.

00:59:03.000 However, state senator Nancy Bardo, who sponsored the bill, said, quote, Docey's order is, quote, no substitute for parental rights grounded in law.

00:59:13.000 She says, quote, the veto undermines every single elected Republican legislature who voted to defend parents and address the frustrations they face through the current sex status quo that provides opt-out for some sexual materials and opt-in for others.

00:59:27.000 While I'm extremely disappointed, my commitment to parents' fundamental rights remains unchanged.

00:59:30.000 I'll continue to work with my colleagues to protect Arizona parents.

00:59:33.000 Huh.

00:59:35.000 So why would the Republican governor of Arizona veto this?

00:59:40.000 Now, one of the attributes of a totalitarian state, I'm not saying Arizona is there yet, and I'm not saying Governor Ducey is one of these people, but one of the attributes of a totalitarian state is separating the bond that parents have with their children.

00:59:58.000 It's one of the Ten Commandments for a reason, and it's the only commandment that has a promise within it: honor your mother and father so that you might live prosperous of the land of which you are in.

01:00:10.000 Action, promise.

01:00:13.000 And so, why would it even be remotely controversial or too broad or vague to say that we do not want children to be educated about gender identity without the parent approving it?

01:00:31.000 So, it would mandate that the parents give consent.

01:00:34.000 So, what this bill would have done is it actually would have properly involved parents.

01:00:40.000 They would have accused it of being overly involved in this idea of what is actually being taught in our schools.

01:00:47.000 This bill would have made parents more involved in our schools, not less involved, which is a fundamental moral good for any nation.

01:00:56.000 In fact, many parents would have realized quickly that the garbage that their children are learning needs to be challenged.

01:01:09.000 Now, thehill.com misrepresents this, of course. 0.98

01:01:13.000 The move comes as GOP-led states increasingly pursue bills that roll back LGBTQ rights, specifically as it pertains to transgender youth.

01:01:21.000 Early this month, Arkansas state legislature voted to override Governor Asa Hutchinson's veto of a bill that bans gender reassignment surgeries and other treatments for transgender youth. 0.94

01:01:31.000 Of course, you should. 1.00

01:01:34.000 Allowing an eight-year-old to get gender reassignment surgery to allow themselves to chemically castrate themselves.

01:01:43.000 Asa Hutchinson warned that the bill would create, quote, new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters dealing with young people.

01:01:54.000 Well, Asa Hutchinson and Doug Ducey are wrong.

01:02:00.000 Say this to someone who knows Governor Ducey.

01:02:03.000 At this moment, your voters, there's a reason why every House member and every senator voted for this unanimously because they're listening to their voters.

01:02:11.000 It's about time the Republican Party starts realizing this.

01:02:14.000 This is my message to the RNC.

01:02:17.000 Your voters are demanding you, through the consent of the governed, the lawmaker, to start to throw down some rules for the road and play a little bit of referee against this moral decline that's happening.

01:02:33.000 This is a very non-controversial bill.

01:02:36.000 If you are going to teach a 10-year-old that men and women is merely an opinion, your parents should be okay with that. 1.00

01:02:45.000 And I would tell you right now: 95% of parents in the beautiful state of Arizona would find this to be a mountain of trash, including, and especially in the Hispanic community. 1.00

01:02:56.000 You want Hispanics to become Republicans, which was a big lively topic of my RNC speech this morning. 1.00

01:03:01.000 It was good.

01:03:01.000 Some people disagreed with it, but we had some fun.

01:03:04.000 A great guy from New Mexico didn't see the way the things I did, but we had a really good discourse and dialogue about it. 0.95

01:03:10.000 But if you want to win over Hispanics, then make them realize that their government schools are teaching this gender fluidity, sexual relative nonsense. 0.99

01:03:23.000 Just along that reason, that's a reason to sign the bill. 0.98

01:03:25.000 But on a moral side of it, the state does not have a right to impart their secular sexual agenda on our children.

01:03:37.000 They don't.

01:03:38.000 That is reserved for the parent.

01:03:41.000 You see, the education of children takes time.

01:03:45.000 And that's why parents, being the guardians, are the best and the only ones that should be making decisions in this regard.

01:03:53.000 This is why I'm such a big fan of homeschooling and such a critic of government schools.

01:03:58.000 Because of government schools, you are going to have a specific agenda imparted in defiance of the values and the worldview of the parents.

01:04:09.000 So, Senator, say Senator Nancy Bardo is exactly right.

01:04:13.000 Parental rights are critical and they are being destroyed in our country right now.

01:04:19.000 And if a state like Arizona is serious about re-winning suburban soccer moms, which seems to be the new focus of the Republican Party, I guarantee you that suburban soccer moms in Paradise Valley, in Scottsdale,

01:04:34.000 in Chandler, in Mesa, would be outraged to learn that their children are being taught graphic Planned Parenthood-sponsored and supported gender identity and gender-fluid ideas.

01:04:52.000 And they would say, not only do I not allow this, I'm going to run for school board against it.

01:04:58.000 Any piece of legislation that involves parents in this process by default does a moral good for the nation.

01:05:05.000 You need more parent eyeballs, not less parent eyeballs.

01:05:09.000 There are three things I want to get to in a very short period of time, so I don't think we're going to be able to do it.

01:05:13.000 Okay, first of all, Valerie Jarrett, I want you to listen to this.

01:05:15.000 She tweeted this out.

01:05:16.000 She says, a black teenage girl named Makia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times, quote, in order to break up a knife fight.

01:05:27.000 Demand accountability, fight for justice.

01:05:29.000 Hashtag Black Lives Matter.

01:05:30.000 I'm sorry, Valerie Jarrett.

01:05:32.000 Why did he do that?

01:05:33.000 Oh, to break up a knife fight.

01:05:35.000 Got it. 1.00

01:05:35.000 She was trying to kill somebody. 1.00

01:05:39.000 She wasn't playing Scrabble.

01:05:42.000 She wasn't playing soccer.

01:05:45.000 She wasn't doing her makeup. 0.99

01:05:48.000 She was trying to kill somebody with a knife. 0.60

01:05:53.000 And again, it wasn't a knife fight. 0.69

01:05:55.000 One person had a knife.

01:05:56.000 The person who got shot, she was trying to kill somebody with that knife.

01:06:00.000 That's called a deadly and lethal weapon.

01:06:06.000 So that was just an unarmed person getting attacked by someone with a knife.

01:06:11.000 I love this kind of watering down of a knife fight.

01:06:15.000 Ah, come on.

01:06:15.000 We have knife fights all the time.

01:06:17.000 How dare you police break up our knife fights?

01:06:20.000 Like, what are you like, medieval?

01:06:22.000 We do the knife fight thing all the time. 0.99

01:06:25.000 Yeah, sorry, we're so uncultured that when we try to see a black person get stabbed with a knife, we're like, nah, probably going to intervene. 1.00

01:06:33.000 That's basically the new argument. 1.00

01:06:35.000 How dare you interrupt our jousting?

01:06:38.000 What?

01:06:39.000 Someone called the police, by the way.

01:06:41.000 I'd like to find out who.

01:06:43.000 So let me get this straight. 0.70

01:06:44.000 Breaking up a knife fight in the black community is now white oppression. 0.95

01:06:49.000 How dare the police want to protect a black person from literally getting stabbed? 0.96

01:06:57.000 But that won't stop them. 0.90

01:06:59.000 You see, we're racist because we are so backward thinking, according to the left, because we don't want to watch a knife fight.

01:07:09.000 Suppose a Valerie Jarrett is saying that we should be spectators the next time people take out their blades.

01:07:15.000 The next time people take out these massive swords in the hood, don't call the police.

01:07:22.000 Just watch. 0.97

01:07:23.000 And if you dare say anything, you're a racist. 0.97

01:07:28.000 Second story I want to get to.

01:07:29.000 Seven House Republicans pledge to deny donations from big tech companies.

01:07:34.000 I want to name some heroes right here: Ken Buck, Chip Roy, Greg Stubay, Dan Bishop, Ralph Northam, not that Ralph Northam, Ralph Norman, good guy.

01:07:43.000 Andy Biggs, and Burgess Owens.

01:07:45.000 Seven people that deserve thanks.

01:07:48.000 People say, who do I give money to?

01:07:49.000 Go give money to them because they have said we are no longer going to take money from Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Twitter.

01:07:58.000 It's only going to change when we change the capital flows.

01:08:02.000 It's only going to change when our lawmakers look at getting money from tech companies the same as getting money from Planned Parenthood.

01:08:09.000 It's morally the same.

01:08:13.000 So I want to thank Ken Buck, Chip Roy, Greg Stewie, Dan Bishop, Ralph Norman, Andy Biggs, and Burgess Owens.

01:08:21.000 Seven guys.

01:08:22.000 It should be the entire Republican caucus that say we are not taking tech money any longer.

01:08:29.000 It's the right move.

01:08:31.000 It's the right thing to do.
