00:02:08.000His 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.
00:02:16.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:56.000This weekend was a big weekend for us.
00:02:58.000We did two events in the great state of Michigan in Heartland, Michigan, in Saginaw, Michigan.
00:03:03.000I was with Candace Owens at the Heartland, Michigan event, and then we ended in Saginaw, Michigan.
00:03:08.000And then yesterday in the great state of Virginia, and today we're still here.
00:03:14.000We are in Loudoun County, Virginia, everybody, the center of the American political universe.
00:03:18.000We did a couple events, and we culminated last evening, I should say.
00:03:22.000We had a crescendo at Pastor Gary Hamrick's Church, Cornerstone Church in Leesburg, Virginia.
00:03:29.000And I kid you not, there were 2,500 people there last night.
00:03:34.000Every single seat was filled as we talked about school boards.
00:03:38.000We talked about involvement in local elections.
00:03:40.000We talked about all sorts of things from a biblical perspective, from a conservative perspective.
00:03:45.000It was one of the most amazing events we've ever done.
00:03:48.000The energy, the enthusiasm was totally off the charts.
00:03:51.000I had an opportunity yesterday at an event before that event with 2,500 people to talk some to talk to some of the moms and dads here in Loudoun County.
00:04:00.000And I asked them, I said, how did this all get started?
00:04:04.000And there were two people in particular, and I won't say their names on air, but they said that the more that they were attacked and blacklisted by the local Loudoun County School Board, the more it increased their resolve to get involved and to find out what was really happening at the Loudoun County School Board.
00:04:22.000Now, just as kind of a refresher, those of you that don't know where Loudoun County is, it is in Northern Virginia, right outside of Washington, D.C.
00:05:00.000They are beneficiaries of the albatross of you sending $3.5 trillion of your taxpayer dollars to D.C. every single year.
00:05:08.000So Loudoun County, Virginia is the new Beverly Hills of America.
00:05:13.000It's the place where people think they can live an upper-middle-class lifestyle.
00:05:17.000And, you know, I'm looking out my window right here in Loudoun County, Virginia, and I count five construction cranes right here outside the window.
00:05:26.000As far as the eye can see, there are construction cranes, new buildings being brought up.
00:05:32.000It's almost they consider Loudoun County, Virginia to be the paradise of America.
00:05:38.000I actually not a fan of the ruling class's sandbox, which is what it's become.
00:05:44.000But Loudoun County, Virginia was never a radical place.
00:05:47.000It might have been a center-left place, might have been a place that always protected the capital flows of big government spending, might be a place that was very, let's say, loyal to the intelligence agencies, because not far from here is Langley, Virginia.
00:06:02.000Not far from here is Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:06:06.000Not far from here is Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and all these major companies, Northrop Grumman.
00:06:13.000And so it's understandable that this area in particular, that includes Reston, Virginia, Sterling, Herndon, Great Falls, Tysons, McLean.
00:06:23.000Now, part of that might be Fairfax County.
00:06:25.000So there's a barrier, but Loudoun County, which goes all the way up to Leesburg, was never radical before.
00:06:32.000But then there was a takeover because of outside money that poured into local school board races that turned Loudoun County into the petri dish for implementing critical race theory, CRT, mask mandates, and all of the most radical agenda items you could possibly imagine.
00:06:48.000Now, many conservative parents were concerned about this and spoke out against it, but there was not a consensus against it.
00:06:54.000That is until the Fauci virus and the lockdowns that accompanied it.
00:06:58.000Shutting down our country, kids coming home.
00:07:01.000All of a sudden, parents were overhearing what their children were learning in their local school from their teachers.
00:07:09.000And then the mask mandates, the vaccine mandates, and parents were like a pressure cooker.
00:07:16.000In addition to CRT being taught, in addition to the transgender pronoun issue, in addition to the mask mandates, in addition to the deterioration of Loudoun County schools, the issue that is now turning Loudoun County into the most contentious local national issue that's local, but it's actually national was a father, a father who showed up to a school board meeting in May, who tried to testify, but was arrested.
00:08:01.000And the National School Board Association of America, that was able to get Merrick Garland from the Department of Justice, alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security, to spy on and use the Patriot Act against Americans, they listed that father, Scott Smith, as a potential domestic terrorist, worthy of federal surveillance, worthy of the criminality from the federal government.
00:08:26.000And now it has come out that Loudoun County, they knew that his daughter was raped, and then they sent the rapist, the man who is mentally challenged and mentally ill, unfortunately.
00:08:41.000But instead of keeping him on house arrest after the rape, they sent him to another Loudoun County school where he did it again.
00:08:48.000And just breaking a couple days ago, in Loudoun County, a Loudoun County official has now resigned from the school board.
00:08:58.000In Loudoun County, one of the school board members who was intimately involved in all this resigned.
00:09:05.000Last name, Bart, it says here in a local story, Loudoun Now, school board member Beth Barts tendered her resignation effective November 2nd, including the turmoil in an attempt to remove her from office after the sexual assault scandal.
00:09:31.000I bet she was the one that was arranging for this man who thought he was a woman who was criminally and seriously raping girls in Loudoun County schools to be transferred.
00:09:41.000But I could tell you last night, I have never seen such incredible intensity, such energy, and commitment from just normal people that were never involved in politics as I saw yesterday in Loudoun County, Virginia.
00:09:53.000What I saw in Loudoun County, Virginia at the church event and our private gatherings, we did a pastor's roundtable.
00:09:58.000We did all sorts of things was regular moms and dads, people that had never been involved in any of these fights before, saying, I don't care what you take from me.
00:10:06.000Our children are the line you will not cross.
00:10:09.000And for all of you listening across the country, I want you to hear this very clearly.
00:10:13.000You need to rise up like the Loudoun County parents did as well.
00:11:01.000People move into Loudoun County for schools.
00:11:03.000People move into here for good schools.
00:11:05.000And they are seeing the betrayal, the deceit, the treachery, the arrogance from the Loudoun County School District, the radicalism, and the outright attack and onslaught against parents in Loudoun County.
00:11:18.000And because of that, Democrats are on the run.
00:11:21.000And we're going to talk about the Virginia governor's race that's coming up in just a couple of weeks and how that might be a bellwether, maybe even a harbinger for things to come.
00:11:33.000I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.
00:11:36.000And truth is, I know millions of people are, in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.
00:11:40.000Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.
00:12:46.000Again, the counties around Washington, D.C. are reliably blue for a variety of different reasons.
00:12:53.000The first reason, of course, is its proximity to the power center, to the kingdom of Washington, D.C.
00:12:58.000The second is the amount of universities that are in Northern Virginia, which is extraordinary if you look at the amount of universities in D.C. and Virginia.
00:13:06.000The third of which is, of course, the fact that a lot of first-generation low-wage worker immigrants move to Northern Virginia to be able to make the life of luxury possible for so many people that live in Northern Virginia.
00:13:23.000And many, many of the refugee resettlement programs and the immigration, the mass immigration programs come to Northern Virginia, which has resulted in a totally different political type atmosphere to win an election in Virginia.
00:13:41.000And so Virginia Democrats have been able to win reliably by running up the score in Northern Virginia, being able to win in Richmond and win on the Virginia coast.
00:13:51.000The rest of Virginia is very conservative, by the way.
00:15:00.000So Terry McAuliffe, who is the corrupt Clinton surrogate and wants to be governor of Virginia, I think, again, he was governor once, right?
00:16:23.000But this weekend, Kamala Harris did a video that violated nonprofit rules where she went to 300 black churches and said, go vote for Terry McAuliffe.
00:16:34.000And they have to allow equal footing if it's for a campaign event.
00:16:37.000Now, if Kamala Harris was just speaking in her official elected capacity, if she was just speaking about, you know, how the southern border is wide open and how we arm the Taliban, if she was speaking about how Joe Biden falls asleep during cabinet meetings and how Hunter Biden is corrupt and how she's trying to navigate that, if she was talking about her personal capacity, then that's no problem.
00:16:57.000But instead, Kamala Harris speaking to all of the black churches, she was making a direct campaign push directly against IRS guidance on nonprofits, play cut three.
00:17:09.000One of the most significant ways I believe that we can each use our voice is through our vote.
00:17:15.000So Virginians, you have the opportunity now to raise your voice through your vote because it's election time.
00:17:22.000As you know, this is an important election coming up on Tuesday, November 2nd.
00:18:01.000She won't be held accountable for that.
00:18:02.000But that's the level that Democrats have to go to to try to keep Virginia blue.
00:18:08.000Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:18:17.000Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist BLM incorporated organization?
00:18:25.000Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:18:32.000Left-wing corporations are subverting our nation and our republic by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:18:46.000You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line, which is why there's a massively important organization called Second Vote that comes in.
00:20:27.000Go to secondvote.com and subscribe with promo code Charlie today.
00:20:34.000Loudoun County, Virginia, yesterday, I could tell you that parents getting involved in school board elections are now having a profound effect on statewide and federal elections.
00:20:43.000And people are starting to take notice of this.
00:20:46.000Cut 11, the massive increase in parents from in school board races, local government, has federal implications on school boards and how it will affect the 2022 midterms.
00:20:57.000And new data coming out shows that things are not just bad for Democrats.
00:21:03.000Things are not just going in the wrong direction.
00:21:06.000Things are worse than they could have ever possibly imagined.
00:21:12.000Meanwhile, suburban parents frustrated with COVID-19 restrictions and curriculum problems, they're going to be, they have become far more active in local politics and seem only further inspired by the Justice Department's decision to intervene in school board parent disputes.
00:21:27.000Now, tomorrow night, Republican Glenn Yunkin, as you're seeing there, he's going to make a major announcement.
00:21:32.000He says he's going to highlight some of these issues with the federal government, getting involved with schools.
00:21:36.000And we will be there tomorrow as he brings out a plan that he says will combat all of that.
00:21:42.000The question, though, remains: will parent enthusiasm overall translate into voter turnout?
00:21:48.000If so, that could have major implications for how midterm campaigns will be run nationwide.
00:21:54.000But CNN.com, a woman by the name of Ruth Ben-Guillot or JAT, JIT, whatever, a frequent contributor to CNN, writes one of the most incredible pieces.
00:22:09.000And this was written on my birthday a couple of days ago.
00:22:46.000She writes here, she says, school drop-offs used to be a happy occasion, a time for children to reunite with their friends and their parents and caregivers to socialize.
00:22:56.000For a growing number of Americans, that's no longer the case.
00:23:01.000She writes here in this piece, she said, she goes in to say that the supposed advocates for education freedom show their hand.
00:23:12.000Arguments like those repeated by Kimberly Fletcher, who we've had on our program, have little to do with child welfare, but they have everything to do with right-wing efforts to discredit the Biden administration by depicting it as bringing socialist tyranny to America and labeling Democrats as degenerates to exploit children.
00:23:29.000I wouldn't use that particular word choice, but we're in the ballpark.
00:23:34.000And then she says, that's also a central tenet of QAnon conspiracy theories.
00:23:39.000Says the woman who wrote a whole book on Mussolini strong men.
00:23:44.000Concern for children in this context, just a smokescreen for right-wing activists with far greater ambitions.
00:23:49.000Calls by Fletcher and many others for a mass exodus from public schools, by the way, it is already happening, with the excuse of opposing vaccine and mask mandates, aligned with the ideal of divesting from civic space of democracy altogether.
00:24:01.000You homeschool your kids, you hate the country.
00:24:05.000Ruth Ben Giott continues by saying, They also further the cause of privatizing American education, a pet project of Trump's education secretary, Betsy DeVos.
00:24:26.000If you're listening to this as a parent, she says just the idea of parental rights, it's really advocated by anti-vaccine militants and their white Christian evangelical allies.
00:24:36.000That's right, we hate those people, right?
00:24:38.000Also becomes a way to justify censorship of ideas you don't like, such as the centrality of slavery in America's development, not true, and the costs of institutionalized racism doesn't exist.
00:24:49.000It's not surprising that the former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wants the private realm to take control of public school curricula.
00:24:56.000Quote, I think parents should decide what their children are taught in schools.
00:25:03.000The professor at NYU is telling you that he's a conspiracy theorist because he says, quote, I think parents should decide what their children are taught in schools.
00:25:13.000His stance reinforcing the rights disdain, get this, for expertise.
00:25:20.000We hate expertise because we want parents to be in control of their parents' kids' education.
00:25:26.000Nor is it unexpected that Glenn Young, who is running for Virginia governor against Harry McAuliffe, who cites parent rights along with opposition to critical race theory and transgender ideology as part of his ideas for school reform.
00:25:37.000If Junkin truly cared about public schools, his campaign wouldn't be pushing for parents to pull their kids out of STEM.
00:25:43.000If he truly cared about child health and safety, he wouldn't be opposing masks and vaccine mandates.
00:26:02.000When illiberal forces are on the march, the education system is always in their sights.
00:26:08.000The brutal rejection by activist parents of differences of opinion and the spread of practices of harassment meant to frighten others into silence.
00:26:34.000We're not able to publicize the address where we're having the event tonight to the last minute because the students that probably are your students, Ben Giott, they protested our original location and demanded cancellation with violent intent that the hotel pulled their contract.
00:26:52.000We have to come in with platoons of security because of the threats against us.
00:26:58.000There is a march happening in Burlington starting this afternoon, specifically designed towards me in Turning Point USA.
00:27:12.000And I hope that they get their life together, but going to the University of Vermont won't be.
00:27:16.000Who are the illiberal forces on the march?
00:27:19.000Is the illiberal force Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA coming to Burlington, Vermont, trying to have free speech?
00:27:24.000Or is the illiberal force the low testosterone, confused, androgynous people that walk the streets of Burlington with sticks trying to find me and beat us up in the streets, of which would be a very hilarious thing to witness?
00:27:41.000No, she accuses us of being illiberal force to say, hey, we don't want our children to be taught to hate themselves and hate other people based on their skin color.
00:28:09.000And that's what they don't understand, that they think that they're going to be like, oh, we're going to derail Charlie Kirk from coming to University of Vermont.
00:28:14.000It says here, Turning Point USA not welcome in Burlington.
00:28:18.000It says this, that the other, it says this, that we must cancel hate speech.
00:28:23.000We must counter protest the racist speaker Charlie Kirk.
00:28:26.000We'll be meeting at the Howe Library at 5 p.m. to prepare.
00:28:29.000Turning Point USA has spinelessly hid the new location for the event after the first venue refused to harbor a fascist.
00:28:36.000We're fascists because you're the ones that canceled our event at the original location.
00:28:40.000They'll be announcing the new venue on the day of over email.
00:28:43.000So use the link to reserve a ticket or 10, meaning they're going to try to fraudulently try to manipulate the ticketing process at our event to try to throw off our seating capacity.
00:28:53.000Also, RSDP for our counter protest with Google form below.
00:28:57.000Yeah, nothing says fighting the man like using Google, young Democrat socialist of Vermont.
00:29:21.000She says, one way to push back is to populate school boards with individuals who care about pluralism, democracy, and public health.
00:29:29.000School boards, quote, play a foundational role in determining the kinds of citizens that kids ultimately become.
00:29:34.000The way that they are treated in school cultivates the kind of people they want to grow up to be.
00:29:38.000Says Amanda Lippmann, executive director of co-founder of Run for Something, which recruits and mentors candidates for local offices.
00:29:45.000The professor continues by saying, however, we choose to be involved, parents can set an example by standing up for democracy, respect for others, and protection of the health of our children.
00:29:54.000For it's the next generation that will bear the burden if we don't act now.
00:29:57.000I cannot believe this garbage was allowed to be published, not even because of the bad ideas.
00:30:01.000She didn't make an argument in the entire piece.
00:30:03.000That's what's so extraordinary about it.
00:31:06.000And now we are starting to see the American political discourse or the American political foundation completely change.
00:31:17.000There has been a tectonic shift where all of a sudden, the suburban moms and dads that might not have loved Donald Trump, they realize that the threat to their children and the country is the left.
00:31:28.000And I was at this event yesterday, and I met with probably 50 moms and dads before the church event in Loudoun County.
00:31:35.000I asked them, I said, what do you think of Donald Trump?
00:31:36.000They said, yeah, you know, I didn't vote for Trump.
00:34:02.000ExpressVPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government, they have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.
00:34:13.000And we see with the new announcements out of DC.
00:34:16.000If you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.
00:34:19.000Secure your online activity by visiting expressvpn.com/slash Charlie today.
00:35:05.000They said, we are not going to be intimidated by our own government trying to chill our speech.
00:35:13.000A new report from openthebooks.com, my friend Adam Njievski says, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, son-in-law's firm, Panorama.
00:35:21.000Remember, we talked about how his son-in-law and his family is benefiting financially significantly off of critical race theory and implementing into school boards.
00:35:30.000And Merrick Garland, with a conflict of interest, is now deploying the shock troop Praetorian Guard to go after moms and dads that are challenging the capital flows into the pockets of the Garland family.
00:35:40.000Well, openthebooks.com has found $27 million in payments from states, school districts, and local boards of education to Panorama across 21 states between the years 2017 and 2020, including the New York City of Department of Education, those of you listening on WABC, Dallas Independent School District, Seattle School District, District of Columbia, and San Francisco Unified Schools.
00:36:03.000It also shows that Panorama has contracts of Texas, Michigan, Florida, Indiana, Rhode Island, Oregon, Iowa, Utah, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Georgia, New Mexico, Illinois, Wyoming, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maine, Virginia, and Ohio.
00:36:19.000And so the Attorney General of the United States is threatening moms and dads showing up to school board meetings while his family, his family's company, has contracts with 23,000 public schools and received over $27 million in payments.
00:36:36.000That is the definition of a conflict of interest.
00:36:39.000That they receive $27 million in payments from states, school districts, and local boards of education.
00:36:46.000Merrick Garland did this for a variety of reasons.
00:36:50.000For the payments for his family, and also, number two, to try to stop the Tea Party movement that was bubbling up in real time.
00:36:58.000The reason they are trying to chill speech is they know what happened after the Tea Party movement in 2010.
00:37:03.000One of the most dramatic shifts and swings of power from Democrat to Republican when Obama had unified government, House, Senate, presidency.
00:37:11.000Republicans took back the House of Representatives in a record and historic fashion.
00:37:17.000And Republicans are poised to do that again coming into 2022.
00:37:43.000His approval rating in Gallup has dropped 13 points since June, six points in the last month.
00:37:49.000The latest Quinni Piak poll has Biden's approval rating, approval disapproval at 38 approval, 53 disapproval.
00:37:57.000The latest morning council political findings from last week show Biden's approval rating underwater across the board at 45% approval rating and 40% on the economy, 44% on healthcare, 40% on national security, 33% on immigration, 36% on foreign policy.
00:38:13.000Now, if the polls are wrong or the polls are wrong, it's even worse than that.
00:38:17.000That voter turnout and an enthused conservative base could make this one of the most overwhelming and dramatic political wipeouts in American history.
00:38:28.000And the backbone of all of this is where we are doing our show right now in Loudoun County, Virginia.
00:38:34.000It's moms and dads, it's parents and families starting to show up and speak clearly to the people that have been ruining their children's education.
00:38:44.000That is the new drumbeat, the heartbeat, I should say, of the Take Back America movement.
00:38:53.000It is not, there's not a single person behind it.
00:38:57.000And I want to encourage all of you listening, you want to take back America, start back with one of the most, if not the most important issue, the education of our children, the education of the next generation.
