00:00:08.000We are all repulsed by the activist fake news media.
00:00:12.000What they do to our country is so sinister and malevolent.
00:00:17.000I mean, if you look at some of the press coverage that has been happening in the last couple months, we went from President Trump wasn't doing enough to try to stop the virus, something that no president has ever been tasked with trying to stop, to stop a viral infection, to, if we go all the way back to the impeachment coverage, how the press was propagandizing us about how President Trump committed a crime that he did not commit.
00:00:46.000If you do not trust the media, you are going to love this conversation today.
00:00:49.000It was actually an evergreen conversation that was back in the archives of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:33.000Listen to our sister episode, which is our ask me anything episode, AMA episode.
00:01:38.000And we have a packed schedule of first-class interviews.
00:01:42.000We have Senator Ted Cruz coming up later this week, other massive guests.
00:01:46.000We have lots of thoughts that I want to share with you, but you guys are going to love this episode about how and why the media deceives us, how you're able to spot that disinformation, and how the propaganda campaign is ruining the fabric of our country.
00:02:15.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:24.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:39.000Good, who's the founder and CEO of Media Research Center, which is one of the most phenomenal organizations out there that is exposing left-wing bias, fake news, as the president calls it.
00:03:11.000About three or four years ago, I got a letter from one of our supporters who said, Brent, in the last four years, I've given you a million dollars.
00:03:19.000And I'm reading a fun appeal letter from you that says the media are more liberal than ever before.
00:03:24.000He said, how well is my investment in you working?
00:03:27.000And it was a very good point he was making.
00:03:30.000But my answer was, it doesn't matter how liberal the media are.
00:03:34.000What matters is whether or not they're believed.
00:03:37.000They could be Marxists, but if they're not believed, they're not going to have an impact.
00:03:40.000Now, but, but, but three years ago, I couldn't predict, couldn't have predicted where we are today.
00:03:49.000This is no longer a news media that we're talking about.
00:03:54.000This is the radical left that is using the power of journalism in an attempt to destroy not just the president, but the conservative movement.
00:04:17.000The day Trump leaves office, let's say if he's defeated next year or if he retires in 2024 or whatever the year is, how are you going to behave?
00:05:44.000I mean, when you have that kind of a world and yet the media won't report it, they won't say anything good about this president, all the successes he's had.
00:05:57.000When he says fake media, I used to think, that's a little bit, no, fake news is a little bit rough.
00:06:02.000This whole Russia collusion thing was one big exercise in fake news.
00:07:03.000Virtue is a world where government cares for the people and they like that.
00:07:10.000And therefore, when freedom is second, the Constitution now takes second place to it, which is why, Charlie, they don't care about the Second Amendment.
00:07:21.000They think it's a virtuous thing to take away your guns.
00:07:25.000This is why they don't believe in the First Amendment.
00:07:27.000They believe it's a virtuous thing to censor you.
00:08:30.000But Ronald Reagan was always moving the ball forward, forward, forward.
00:08:36.000Compromising when he had to, but that was just to rest and pick up the ball and move forward some more.
00:08:42.000When he left, starting with Bush 41 and then going on to Bush 43, but the entire Republican infrastructure was one of compromise moving backwards, backwards.
00:08:53.000It was the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party, George Romney and the Rockefellers.
00:08:58.000But the attitude was that if we give in as little as possible, then that's a victory.
00:09:05.000It was always a pyrrhic victory because it's a retreat.
00:09:08.000So Republicans have been, and conservatives, frankly, have been retreating since 1988, up until Donald J. Trump showed up.
00:13:37.000And thirdly, if he didn't win, I would hope that my president Cruz would then bring him on to have a Trump commission to fire everybody in Washington.
00:14:16.000All I know is that he has been an unrelenting champion for conservatives, meaning conservatives now need to be unrelenting supporters of the president.
00:14:29.000And the movement is more unified than ever before going into this 2020 election.
00:16:05.000You would just order endless streams of cake.
00:16:07.000I remember I saw it in a documentary like eight years ago, and our amazing team dug it up.
00:16:11.000But the chef is like, yeah, President Clinton used to always call and ask for big things of cake and come back, the whole thing would be eaten.
00:16:20.000And Trump's doing rallies with thousands of people.
00:16:23.000You know, Rush Rush Rush Limbaugh once when he had his TV show, one of the best things he ever did was capture this video of Bill Clinton at Ron Brown's funeral, where Ron Brown was his cabinet member was killed or killed overseas.
00:17:55.000I mean, he took this and he showed the American people exactly what is the color of the skin of the far left.
00:18:07.000The public knows more than ever just how dishonest and dishonorable the far left has become.
00:18:16.000I hope that this is a message to liberals, not the leftists, but the liberals, you know, to the Joe Lieberman wing of the Democratic Party.
00:18:26.000Yeah, I mean, they were, you know, Alan Dershowitz, who says, you know, very, very strongly, the conservatives aren't my enemy, leftists are.
00:19:58.000They went from college or university to J school to journalism.
00:20:04.000And so they don't know the real world.
00:20:05.000We almost have it as a throwaway line, you know, that they're in Manhattan and Washington and Beverly Hills and they need to go over, fly over country and visit America.
00:21:16.000I have thought for the longest time that this was going to be flip a coin.
00:21:22.000But I'm seeing the radical left that cannot stop itself because it is being run by people who just aren't very realistic about life.
00:21:34.000And nothing that Congress does is acceptable to them.
00:21:40.000And so they push them, they push them.
00:21:41.000And at the end of the day, you're not going to have, whether it's Elizabeth Warren or whoever it might be, is not going to be able to moderate.
00:21:49.000So I think if the president does things correctly and the president himself doesn't go off the rails, if he runs this thing correctly, I think he could destroy the other side.
00:22:00.000I think it could be 84 or 72 all over again.
