00:00:09.000We also go into the leading candidate for the vice presidency for Joe Biden, Tammy Duckworth from Illinois, someone that I know quite a lot about, and we'll dive into that.
00:00:19.000We debunk one of the greatest leftist tactics, which is the sit down and shut up because you are not a certain skin color tactic.
00:00:26.000And we also unpack for you Elon Omar, who just seems to continue to want to bash and criticize the United States of America.
00:00:35.000I want to thank those of you that are supporters to the Charlie Kirk show, CharlieKirk.com slash support.
00:00:40.000You support our entire production team, world-class research staff.
00:01:32.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:40.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:54.000He's made a couple of headlines in the last week.
00:01:57.000We've actually had a couple episodes dedicated to Kanye West.
00:02:00.000I actually might be one of the few political individuals that can say that I've spent time with Kanye West and President Trump in the last year and a half.
00:03:04.000And some of it is so needed to just the conversation and the zeitgeist all across the country.
00:03:09.000And look, a lot of the articles that wrote it up are written by typical activist media.
00:03:14.000And we always say activist media, not mainstream media, activist media personalities that pathologically and diabolically want to destroy Donald Trump and with it, destroy Western civilization.
00:03:27.000So they all had this headline, Kanye is done with Trump, or Kanye dumps Trump.
00:03:33.000And it's because of the headline that Forbes led with, which is, Kanye West says he's done with Trump, opens up about White House spid, damaging Biden and everything in between.
00:03:42.000So look, Forbes is a respectable center-right outlet.
00:03:46.000The article said nothing like that at all whatsoever.
00:04:02.000And this is one of the things that's wrong with headline culture, by the way.
00:04:05.000It's all about the headline, and no one actually goes deeper.
00:04:09.000It's all about the owning your friend on Facebook or social media or on a text message chain of just posting the article.
00:04:17.000And if they just see the headline, somehow it proves your point.
00:04:20.000Well, maybe you should spend the extra three minutes or 10 minutes to actually read the article.
00:04:25.000Well, thankfully here on the Charlie Kirk show, and thanks to those of you that support us on a monthly basis on CharlieKirk.com/slash support, you allow us to actually read the articles.
00:04:35.000Okay, so let's get down to the actual Kanye West interview that broke the internet.
00:04:39.000And look, I think I know what Kanye's getting at here.
00:04:42.000I actually can speak from personal experience here.
00:05:02.000His latest Christian album has done more for the gospel and for the kingdom of Jesus Christ than most megachurch pastors could ever dream of.
00:05:08.000In fact, Kanye West is more bold and more courageous and more unafraid than almost any Christian pastor than I have ever met, absent Rob McCoy or Jack Hibbs or Jerry Falwell Jr., who's not a pastor but a Christian leader from Liberty University.
00:05:23.000Those three might be the most courageous individuals that I can think of absent Kanye West.
00:05:33.000It's actually really clear that he's anti-Biden, not anti-Trump.
00:05:36.000So here's just some of the top line points of interest.
00:05:40.000First of all, he does say that he's running for president in 2020 under a new banner, the birthday party, with guidance from Elon Musk and an obscure vice presidential candidate.
00:06:22.000I think that would be the first president ever to not be registered or to vote.
00:06:27.000He said he was sick with COVID-19 in February.
00:06:30.000He said he's very suspicious of the coronavirus vaccine because he said it could be the mark of the beast.
00:06:36.000And he said once he wins the White House, he will organize the White House off of the secret country Wakanda in Black Panther.
00:06:45.000West denies that this is a publicity stunt for his upcoming album.
00:06:49.000For those of you that are saying, oh, Charlie, why are you spending so much time on this?
00:06:52.000Just so you understand, Kanye West is probably one of the most accomplished, if not the most accomplished musician in the modern era and definitely someone who has done more in the fashion, media, and influence industry than anyone I can think of.
00:07:05.000This is what Kanye says in the interview.
00:07:32.000It's just such a perfect Kanye West quote.
00:07:35.000Now, some of the most scathing remarks Kanye West reserved for Democrats.
00:07:39.000Now, mind you, the activist media, Don Lemon and the grifting conmen, had nothing to say about this.
00:07:45.000Kanye West, one of the most accomplished black rappers, is signaling that there's something happening in the black community, something real, something substantial.
00:07:54.000That is a form of racism and white supremacy and white control to say that all black people need to be Democrat and to assume that me running is splitting the vote.
00:08:03.000All that information is being charged up on social media platforms by Democrats.
00:08:08.000And Democrats used to tell me the same Democrats that have threatened me, by the way, the reason why this is the first day I registered a vote is because I was scared.
00:08:15.000I was told that if I voted on Trump, my music career would be over.
00:08:19.000I was threatened into being in one party.
00:08:20.000I was threatened as a celebrity into being in one party.
00:08:23.000I was threatened as a black man into the Democrat Party.
00:08:26.000And that's what the Democrats are doing emotionally to my people, threatening them to the point where this white man can tell a black man, if you don't vote for me, you're not black.
00:08:34.000That right there should have been the headline.
00:09:03.000Kanye also said, Trump is the closest president we've had in years to allowing God to still be part of the conversation.
00:09:09.000Now, mind you, Randall Lane did make the connection, good for him, where he said, he also admits that it's okay with siphoning off black votes and the Democrat nominee thus helping Trump, end quote.
00:09:20.000And Kanye said directly this: I'm not denying it.
00:09:23.000I just told you, to say that the black vote is Democrat is a form of racism and white supremacy.
00:09:28.000Now, in another section, the reporter just gets it totally wrong.
00:09:32.000He titles the section, How the Race Will Be Decided.
00:09:35.000Here's what Kanye actually says: Kanye, let's see if the appointing is at 2020 or if it's 2024, because God appoints the president.
00:09:42.000If I win in 2020, then it was God's appointment.
00:09:45.000If I win in 2024, then that was God's appointment.
00:09:48.000Kanye is a deeply spiritual person at this point in his life.
00:09:52.000He has led worship services all across the country, from New York to Chicago to L.A. What Kanye is saying, what I believe he's saying, is in a Christian sense, he is leaving room for God to decide if he's supposed to be president in 2020 or 2024.
00:10:06.000He's also leaving room for this to be Trump's years.
00:10:08.000Kanye said this about Planned Parenthood.
00:10:10.000Huge indictment of Planned Parenthood.
00:10:13.000Quote, Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the devil's work.
00:10:18.000Kanye continued, I'm pro-life because I followed the word of the Bible.
00:10:55.000It's also interesting to see Kanye's take on vaccines.
00:10:58.000Now, let me just tell you, it's a very complicated subject, and I think that it's wrong for the state to make mandates.
00:11:04.000But I do think it's interesting that Kanye comes that far out against vaccines.
00:11:09.000This is an argument that is likely to come full circle when a vaccine is eventually announced and approved by the government for public use.
00:11:15.000Reports indicate that 60 to 75% of the population will need to take the vaccine for it to be effective in essentially stopping the spread of the Chinese virus.
00:11:23.000Here's what Kanye had to say about it: quote, It's so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed.
00:11:28.000So when they say that they're going to fix COVID with a vaccine, I'm extremely cautious.
00:12:02.000And this is from just May 7th this year from the Daily Mail.
00:12:05.000Elon Musk says his Neuralink company will do human brain implants within a year to help cure injuries, and the device could eventually enable symbiosis with artificial intelligence.
00:12:14.000Elon Musk spoke on Joe Rogan's podcast about his company, Neuralink.
00:12:17.000Musk also said that his firm will have a brain implant ready within a year.
00:12:22.000The chip could fix brain injuries that would result in ailments of the body.
00:12:25.000And Musk also noted that he could become a full brain interface in just 25 years.
00:12:29.000That is something that is very horrifying.
00:12:33.000So maybe this is an interesting tidbit, and not that there's much to make of it, but perhaps Kanye is not aware, or maybe it's just an ongoing debate between him and Elon Musk.
00:12:45.000Kanye is saying he loves the Constitution.
00:12:47.000This is so refreshing versus the left-wing nonsense that we hear about deleting and destroying our history.
00:12:52.000Kanye says the schools, the infrastructure was made for us to not truly be all we could be and just enough to work for the corporations that designed the school systems.
00:13:28.000Because when that comes up, we do what we see.
00:13:31.000And by the way, if I get that vibe, that's the process that we're going to do a beautiful, uplifting, fun, creative process as a people, as America collectively, and show the world how great we are.
00:13:42.000Every year, they got to remind us about the fact that we couldn't vote.
00:13:45.000They meaning white supremacy construct.
00:13:47.000And I said that with the CT at the end.
00:13:50.000I knew what I was, what I was talking about.
00:13:52.000Our minds are so much more infinite than what's coming across TikTok or Instagram.
00:13:56.000We're trying to influence our children and the next generation of who we are.
00:13:59.000So this is a theme that we've been talking about a lot on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:14:03.000And the bottom line is this: when Kanye finished with this, reinstating God's state, in God's country, the fear and the love of God in all schools and organizations, and you chill the fear and love of everything else.
00:14:14.000So in closing, this, look, Kanye's a little wild.
00:14:59.000Put the beep on it, however you want to do it, five seconds delay, and just goes in and gets it done.
00:15:05.000Right now, you gave me the heart to go to Adidas because at Adidas, when I went in in 2015, we were a $14 million company losing $2 billion a year.
00:15:24.000And I said, you have to bring manufacturing on shore, and it's shore into the core.
00:15:33.000It's not about the borders, the core of Adidas.
00:15:36.000And Chicago is the core of Middle America.
00:15:39.000We have to make Middle America strong.
00:15:41.000So I had the balls because I have enough balls to put on this hat.
00:15:45.000I mean, this Adidas thing made me a billionaire.
00:15:47.000And I could have lost $200 million walking away from that deal.
00:15:51.000But even with that, I knew it was more important for me to take the chance of walking away from that deal than to have no fathers in Chicago with no hope.
00:17:00.000Before I do, I want to say thank you to those of you that support our podcast, charliekirk.com slash support, charliekirk.com slash support.
00:17:06.000Those of you that support us monthly, we have a Zoom call coming up next month for our supporters that support us, and we'll be sending some information out about that.
00:17:15.000But for the supporters that support us on charliekirk.com slash support, you help us stay independent, free of boycotts, free from divestment, and free from the left trying to destroy this very, very important program.
00:17:26.000So please go to charliekirk.com slash support.
00:18:25.000As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality.
00:18:41.000So we cannot stop at criminal justice system.
00:18:44.000We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.
00:18:53.000Just like Joe Biden, Elon Omar wants to fundamentally dismantle America's political and economic system.
00:19:00.000The very same system, mind you, that allowed a Somali born refugee to rise through the ranks of our government and become one of the most recognizable congresswomen in America.
00:19:10.000That does not sound like oppression to me at all.
00:19:12.000And it certainly doesn't sound like something that would ever happen in a systemically racist country.
00:19:43.000As my friend Marcia Blackburn tweeted, Elon Omar took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
00:19:49.000And now she says she wants to completely and totally shred it.
00:19:53.000What would her replacement system look like?
00:19:55.000No matter what DNC Inc. tries to tell you, it looks a lot what Joe Biden's replacement America looks like, which I cover on the sister episode today, Joe Biden on trial.
00:20:06.000Check out the sister episode, Joe Biden on Trial.
00:20:09.000And mind you, this push to destroy America comes as a total bombshell story comes out, which reveals that her reelection campaign has spent $900,000 on a consulting firm.
00:20:23.000Her latest husband, her newest and latest, I don't know if it's her greatest husband, Tim Minette.
00:20:29.000Estimates have her on track to spend $1.16 million with her husband in 2020 alone.
00:20:34.000Explain to me how that's not a conflict of self-interest policy.0.86
00:20:37.000Explain to me how that does not have reporters all across the country demanding for her resignation.1.00
00:20:42.000Well, she's a non-American-born Somali refugee who hates America.1.00
00:20:47.000Therefore, she's the darling of the American activist media.1.00
00:20:50.000This country that she so despises is on track to make her ridiculously rich.
00:20:55.000In fact, so rich she'll be able to fly first class to Mogadishu whenever she wants and fly first class back to America and tell us how awful America is despite Mogadishu literally being Mogadishu.
00:21:07.000Now, imagine coming from a refugee camp in Mogadishu.
00:21:10.000If you don't know what Mogadishu is, let's just say they don't have carnival cruises stopping in Mogadishu, okay, because they got Somali pirates that will probably kill you and kill your family.
00:21:23.000So imagine coming from that same refugee camp to then lining your own pockets with millions of dollars of your constituents' dollars and saying, nope, this system does not give me enough power.
00:21:36.000Now, when I say they dismantle and transform, they're very serious.
00:21:41.000Take the latest Democrat power grab, the Breathe Act, sponsored by fellow ingrates, which mean ungrateful ones, Elon Omar, Ayanna Presley, and Rashida Tlaib.
00:21:52.000If passed, it would close all federal prisons because we need more rapists than society, don't we?
00:21:57.000We got a real rapist shortage, according to Elon Omar.
00:22:01.000Defund the police, abolish ICE, give illegals the right to vote, push for reparations, and give felons the right to vote.
00:22:08.000So tack that onto their green New Deal, and you've got your transformed America.
00:22:14.000But I'm sure some of you are thinking, wait a second, Charlie, Joe Biden's not that bad.
00:22:18.000The media tells us he's a blue dog Democrat.
00:22:20.000Well, first, please, again, listen to our sister episode and support our independent research on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:22:26.000We have a team of fact-checkers and researchers that are able to do the work the media does not.
00:22:30.000You go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:22:31.000You help support our program, find the truth.
00:22:36.000But in case you needed further proof of Joe Biden's radicalism, here's a video in his campaign that our team caught and found that the media didn't cover, where he's now advocating for defunding the police, play tape.
00:22:54.000One of the things that we also need to be doing is fundamentally changing the way, and I've been pushing it for years, changing the way we deal with our prison system.
00:23:34.000Now, I actually have more knowledge and more understanding and more experience with Tammy Duckworth than probably any other podcaster out there.
00:23:46.000I got my start, my political start, in 2011, 2012, literally creating opposition research files on Tammy Duckworth in Illinois because I started, I didn't start turning point USA until 2012 and I was involved in, guess who was running up against Tammy Duckworth?
00:24:35.000And we're going to leave that right there.
00:24:40.000And because of that, and we do thank her for her service, because of that, she thinks she's immune to criticism.
00:24:47.000She thinks that because something awful happened to her, somehow her arguments are more correct.
00:24:54.000So in response to President Trump's incredible Mount Rushmore speech, Duckworth claimed the entire speech was spent praising dead traitors.
00:25:06.000So now, if she ends up being the vice president nominee for Joe Biden, every single day, the media should ask her, can you name the dead traitor that Trump was mentioning?
00:26:38.000In case you think we're being unfair here, in the same interview, Senator Duckworth was asked if we should tear down statues to George Washington.
00:27:02.000Instead, she questioned our right to criticize her at all, since she was once injured while serving in the Illinois Army National Guard.
00:27:09.000That's what passes for an argument in modern identity politics.
00:27:12.000They don't address the points that you make.
00:27:14.000They question your right to make them at all.
00:27:17.000The irony, of course, is that George Washington himself, the dead traitor Tammy Duckworth has such contempt for, also served in the military.
00:27:25.000Washington spent most of his adult life under arms.
00:28:01.000Changes that profound deserve a debate.
00:28:04.000Not some fake national conversation where they scream commands at you and you get to obey, but a vigorous, reasoned exchange between adults.
00:28:13.000We wanted to have an exchange like that with Tammy Duckworth tonight.
00:28:17.000So we called her office and we invited her on the show.0.93
00:28:19.000Her flack informed us that before even considering our request, we must first issue a public apology for criticizing Tammy Duckworth.
00:28:28.000In other words, I will not debate you until first you admit you're completely wrong.
00:28:34.000Keep in mind, Tammy Duckworth is not a child, at least not technically, she is a sitting United States senator who is often described as a hero.
00:28:42.000Yet Duckworth is too afraid to defend her own statements on a cable TV show.0.99
00:28:50.000Five years ago, while she was a member of Congress, whistleblowers from a VA hospital in Illinois approached Duckworth to report the widespread mistreatment of sick veterans.
00:29:04.000According to a cardiologist who attended those meetings, Duckworth dismissed the systemic cruelty inflicted on dying veterans by saying that, quote, that's just how it is at the VA.
00:29:15.000The whistleblowers were horrified by her response.
00:29:17.000Ultimately, in frustration, they took their story to the media and it became a national scandal.
00:29:23.000This is the person lecturing the rest of us about her moral authority as a veteran.
00:30:01.000And the fact that Joe Biden is still considering her to be vice president only reinforces the points that we've been making on this program.
00:30:08.000It tells you that Joe Biden is going to be a vessel for radical Marxist anti-American activism in the most pure, sinister, and malevolent form.
00:30:19.000Now, naturally, the backlash to Tucker in this segment was incredible.
00:30:46.000Doesn't actually address the issue that she was wrongly and falsely saying that Donald Trump was praising dead traitors.
00:30:57.000Tammy challenged her to walk a mile in her legs, basically doing what the left always does, saying that we can't have a conversation, we can't debate because of something unfortunate that did happen to you or the color of my skin, instead of actually diving into the issues.
00:31:14.000And by the way, if service to your country precluded you from criticism, why is it that the entire media has spent three years, three and a half years, trying to fundamentally destroy and attack Lieutenant General Michael Flynn?
00:31:27.000Wouldn't that preclude him from criticism?
00:31:30.000By her own standards, there are thousands of journalists who owe Flynn and his entire family a very sincere apology.
00:32:50.000I'm a professor, therefore I must be right.
00:32:53.000I'm a black person, therefore I know black issues better than you do.
00:32:57.000This kind of arguing from authority is a postmodern Jacques Derrida tactic to silence critics.
00:33:06.000It is a tactic rooted in the idea that everyone has their own truth and that if you have an argument from a certain piece of authority, you should be given more credibility.
00:33:21.000But when she says to Tucker, without actually addressing the criticism, well, why don't you walk a mile on her legs, it immediately ends the debate and we go back into our tribal groups of right versus left, team right versus team left.0.99
00:33:36.000Instead, Tammy Duckworth should have dove into the issues and not tried to posture around arguing from authority.0.99
00:33:48.000You see that the left do this all the time.
00:33:50.000I'm sure a lot of people, in fact, I get thousands of emails of people listening to this podcast.
00:33:55.000People that say, Charlie, I'm told I can't speak because I'm white.
00:33:59.000I'm told that I can't have an opinion on BLM Inc. because I'm a white male.
00:34:08.000Facts, data, statistics, logic is true no matter who communicates them.
00:34:15.000This idea that only men or only women or only black people or Hispanic people are able to speak a certain series of facts is a gateway to the destruction of dialogue and discourse, and with that, the United States of America.
00:34:33.000Any person should be able to say anything.
00:34:37.000Now, mind you, if a certain individual says something, they should also back it up with facts, data, statistic, and independent pieces of information.
00:34:48.000Let me build out why this is so dangerous.
00:34:50.000If we take the left's tactics and we engage in them, all of a sudden the best argument does not win.
00:36:44.000That doesn't mean you can't comment on it.
00:36:47.000That doesn't mean you cannot engage in the conversation.
00:36:50.000That doesn't mean you have to sit down and shut up.
00:36:52.000That doesn't mean you have to listen to other people that have lived it.
00:36:55.000Instead, they should be able to submit independently audited, independently audited, agreed-upon data and statistics that are applicable to entire societies and entire communities, not just an individual story.
00:37:10.000Because then you dive into the emotive, the pathological.
00:37:14.000Well, my story is sadder, and what happened to me is so unjust.
00:37:18.000So for example, people try to say, well, white privilege because of Brock Turner.
00:37:22.000Well, first of all, we've already unpacked that here on the Charlie Kirk show multiple times, that it was wealth privilege, not white privilege.
00:37:28.000But just that one story is so outrageous, and I agree it's emotively outrageous, it would be such a mistake to create public policy around that.
00:37:42.000The left loves to be able to hide behind certain individuals that can argue from authority or from personal experience, despite the fact that the macro truth, in fact, the ultimate truth, does not correlate with whatever narrative they might be peddling.
00:37:59.000They've done this for every single issue you can imagine.
00:38:03.000Gun violence, racial tension, white privilege, education.
00:38:08.000The left is always better at the right at being able to tell stories because we on the right, for good reason, by the way, and it puts us at a storytelling and strategic disadvantage, is we demand facts, data, statistics, and agreed-upon starting points.
00:38:30.000If you do not have a given, in geometry terms, that all of you can point to and say, yes, that is true, then all of a sudden you're going to be doing nothing more than swapping campfire stories and whoever cries the best and has the saddest story to tell will win the argument.
00:38:49.000You cannot build a society around that.
00:38:56.000In fact, if that ends up being rewarded, which is what's happening right now in America, where the person with the saddest story, despite it being an isolated incident and not part of something that is systemic or part of a macro trend, if you give them that sort of unwarranted attention and application to the general piece of public policy, then you're designing an entire country governmentally and culturally around a lie.
00:39:25.000For example, police are not systemically racist.
00:39:28.000They take the singular incident of Derek Chauvin killing George Floyd and want to apply it to our entire society.
00:39:37.000That specific incident happened that is not emblematic of police officers across the country.
00:39:44.000No data, no science, no statistics show that.
00:39:49.000So for a lot of the students listening to this podcast, I encourage you to reject any arguments from authority or from identity politics.
00:39:57.000If a teacher says, I'm right because I'm a teacher, say, that's a logical fallacy.
00:40:04.000If your teacher says the first law of Newtonian physics is incorrect and I'm right because I'm a professor, they're lying to you.
00:40:12.000And you, who might just be an undergraduate student or an eighth grade physics student, you might have more truth than the teacher if you believe in the first law of physics because it's true.
00:40:21.000So what Tammy Duckworth does right here is a argument from authority, identity politic, oppression Olympic, sleight of hand.0.66
00:40:37.000Anyone can talk about any topic, especially when there is a plethora of data out there.
00:40:46.000I am not dismissing that personal stories do not have a place in the national conversation, but they have a place in the national conversation when they are harmonic and congruent with something that is proven in data and science, physics, history, logical, or critical thinking.
