00:02:12.000 And look, truth is, I know millions of people are in some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older, that can do it.

00:02:18.000 That's why I'm so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.

00:02:20.000 They are on a mission.

00:02:21.000 You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.

00:02:24.000 Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.

00:02:32.000 So here's the deal.

00:02:53.000 Hope you're having a good night.

00:02:54.000 Hopefully you're doing something more enjoyable than watching the speech.

00:02:57.000 Maybe you were watching the speech.

00:02:58.000 We're going to cut to Senator Tim Scott as soon as he gives his response.

00:03:04.000 I have a lot of takeaways from what we just saw.

00:03:06.000 You guys can email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com and your questions.

00:03:10.000 I do want to take some of your questions.

00:03:12.000 And I don't make it a habit to watch, you know, President Biden, Joe Biden.

00:03:18.000 It's usually just whatever is provided to him.

00:03:20.000 But I wanted to see this for a reason, and I want to comment on it because it was less about him.

00:03:26.000 He wasn't really involved in this speech, but the people behind him knew that there would be millions of eyeballs on this speech.

00:03:32.000 And there were some really important takeaways.

00:03:35.000 Not about what he was saying or his legislative action, but instead how the American left views this moment and their current playbook, what they're actually planning to do next, and what that means for our nation and our country.

00:03:52.000 And Joe Biden went a little over an hour, and it didn't feel like a typical State of the Union address at all.

00:03:59.000 I mean, it felt a little bit like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.

00:04:04.000 It was almost as if he was giving a speech on war footing, that this was a general that was giving an update on the war front.

00:04:12.000 And I want to explore that and build that out because this was not just a speech for unity.

00:04:18.000 I did not hear that term once, by the way, the entire speech.

00:04:21.000 We got to come together, that we have to work together.

00:04:24.000 Now, I think Joe Biden is settling into this idea that he is on such the moral high ground, that he is General Eisenhower of the armed, of the coalition of armed forces in World War II, and he is going to win at all costs.

00:04:42.000 And this is a new type of Democrat party that we are dealing with here.

00:04:47.000 This is not the Democrat Party of Barack Obama that will patiently march through the institutions.

00:04:52.000 This is a bold and urgent Democrat Party.

00:04:56.000 And there's a lot that actually I think Republicans can learn from in this moment.

00:05:01.000 And so, as we're waiting for Senator Tim Scott here, I want to say as we kind of walk through these remarks, and you guys can email us in real-time freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:05:13.000 We're going to be taking a lot of your questions, which is Joe Biden opened up by saying that the attack on the Capitol on January the 6th was the worst attack on our democracy since the American Civil War.

00:05:31.000 Worse than the 1983 bombing, attempted bombing on the Capitol.

00:05:36.000 Worse than 9-11, worse than Pearl Harbor.

00:05:40.000 But he has called explicitly that this was the worst attack on our country since the American Civil War. 0.99

00:05:47.000 So that's a very important point. 0.99

00:05:49.000 It's an important point because much of the substance of the speech was bookended, if you will.

00:05:58.000 It was kind of, it was framed around this idea of starting on January 6th and ending on January 6th, that I am going to justify my war powers by bringing up what happened on January 6th.

00:06:12.000 So we obviously did a live stream the day of January 6th here.

00:06:16.000 We did not support the storming of the Capitol here.

00:06:21.000 We also don't support the killing of Ashley Babbitt, and we still don't know who killed Ashley Babbitt.

00:06:27.000 And Joe Biden continually says that it was an insurrection.

00:06:31.000 It was more like an interruption than an insurrection.

00:06:34.000 And I'm not minimalizing any of the police officers that died.

00:06:41.000 And new evidence shows that they actually died on natural causes.

00:06:45.000 And if anyone laid a hand on a law enforcement officer, I hope they go to jail.

00:06:48.000 It's an unacceptable thing to do.

00:06:51.000 But to then add this as the context of the entire speech, the worst attack since the Civil War, and then he ends with that, I think is a very important takeaway.

00:07:03.000 So I'm going to have a little bit of a different take than most pundits and commentators and talk show hosts.

00:07:10.000 I think that Joe Biden was telling the truth when he said that we are on the move.

00:07:17.000 Now, I don't think he was saying the nation was on the move.

00:07:20.000 I think he's saying the Democrat Party is on the move.

00:07:23.000 You see, Joe Biden has decided to say the private part out loud.

00:07:28.000 Joe Biden decided to say the part that they used to hide and disguise.

00:07:34.000 He's saying, you know what?

00:07:35.000 We're playing offense as Democrats, and we're not going to apologize for it.

00:07:41.000 Joe Biden, again, he's just the spokesperson, the temporary spokesperson for this.

00:07:47.000 But He is the current placeholder of a belief in the Democrat Party that the reason that they have not been able to get their transformational agenda forward is that they have not treated us like domestic enemies, that they've tried to pander to us too much.

00:08:04.000 They have not been bold enough.

00:08:05.000 And the reason they got Donald Trump and they had to live through that is because they were not aggressive enough.

00:08:11.000 So Joe Biden is unafraid to say, you know what, we are on the move.

00:08:14.000 We are going to call half the country domestic terrorists.

00:08:17.000 We're no longer going to apologize for wanting to nationalize your health care or destroy the dollar.

00:08:23.000 Instead, we are going to say very firmly, we're on the move.

00:08:26.000 Now, let me say this.

00:08:27.000 Have you ever heard of a politician frame a political moment is on the move?

00:08:34.000 Again, that feels like he's trying to conquer Europe.

00:08:38.000 Now, I'm not saying that there hasn't been a Republican that has used that similar language, but there was almost a refrain with the dystopian imagery of the two mask wearers behind him.

00:08:51.000 Every other seat, despite almost everyone being already vaccinated and wearing masks.

00:08:57.000 It was almost this footing of the real threat here as we are in our militarized capital, surrounded by armed guards.

00:09:07.000 The real threat is the people that we displaced from power, the people who didn't vote from us.

00:09:15.000 That was the constant theme throughout the speech.

00:09:20.000 Now, there are actually some things that I think Republicans can learn from.

00:09:23.000 Some things that I think Joe Biden was very wise to mention, but then he completely invalidated many of those things later in his speech.

00:09:32.000 But when you say on the move, it feels like it was George W. Bush giving remarks in front of Congress when he was trying to find Saddam Hussein on the move.

00:09:41.000 Now, maybe the best way you could say is, well, Charlie, he meant that we are economically developing and investing and we're doing a lot better.

00:09:49.000 Maybe.

00:09:51.000 Or maybe he's saying what we know is true, which is that the Democrat Party is going to metaphorically roll the tanks through the streets until they're in power permanently.

00:10:07.000 That's what I hear when I say that Democrats are on the move.

00:10:10.000 So there's a lot of specifics here I want to get into, from how he described the vaccine to the difference to the non-mention of the administration that came before him to this very bizarre line where he says that we need to get vaccine on Mars because then we get better internet.

00:10:31.000 Maybe he was just misreading his teleprompter.

00:10:35.000 But I'm going to reiterate something that I've said before. 0.99

00:10:38.000 Joe Biden is an immoral person. 0.97

00:10:41.000 He's not a well-meaning grandpa. 1.00

00:10:44.000 He's an immoral person.

00:10:49.000 Any human being that inherits a vaccination effort like Joe Biden did, and he did not mention once a thank you, a sentence, or a syllable for the Herculean effort that the Trump administration did before the Biden administration when it came to personal protection equipment and vaccines.

00:11:09.000 And by the way, I am not personally going to take the vaccine.

00:11:12.000 If you do, that's your choice.

00:11:14.000 That's your liberty.

00:11:15.000 I'm not going to judge you.

00:11:16.000 Consult people you trust and read literature that you find true and make that decision.

00:11:23.000 But Joe Biden is taking this victory lap saying, hey, you know, on January 20th, vaccination rates for seniors were less than 2%.

00:11:30.000 Hey, Joe Biden, you know, you got vaccinated when Trump was president?

00:11:34.000 Joe Biden, you got vaccinated when Trump was president.

00:11:37.000 And he said, you know, when I got to be president, we had no vaccines.

00:11:40.000 Now, good news for Joe Biden, the Washington Post has completely disbanded its fact-checking mechanism.

00:11:46.000 So we'll not, there will be no fact-checking tomorrow morning in the Washington Post.

00:11:50.000 Who needs fact-checking when you enter a one-party state?

00:11:53.000 The Ministry of Truth will only go after the opposition.

00:11:58.000 And so, Joe Biden is taking a celebratory victory lap for something that Donald Trump deserves credit for.

00:12:04.000 Now, again, whether you think the vaccine works or not is actually completely irrelevant to what I'm about to say.

00:12:10.000 So, Donald Trump sat in a room with the experts and they said, Mr. Trump, President Trump, you have to pick one of these companies, Johnson Johnson, Pfizer, Moderna, of who's going to get this vaccine effort out.

00:12:24.000 And he said, you know what?

00:12:28.000 All of the above.

00:12:29.000 We're going to fund all of them.

00:12:30.000 And if they all get it, more vaccines, the better.

00:12:35.000 Do you know how much you need to save to have a comfortable retirement?

00:12:37.000 The average retirement savings for families, according to one recent study, is $255,000.

00:12:42.000 If you are using these averages as goals for your own retirement, let me be blunt.

00:12:46.000 Even $1 million won't be enough by the time you retire because of inflation.

00:12:49.000 Retirement is not one size-fits-all.

00:12:52.000 How much should you save depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to pursue after retirement?

00:12:56.000 But remember that inflation should be factored in.

00:12:58.000 The $1 million you saved 40 years ago is worth less than half of that now.

00:13:03.000 So invest in assets that will store the value of your investment.

00:13:06.000 That's key to diversifying your portfolio.

00:13:08.000 And there's nothing better than gold.

00:13:10.000 I'm a believer in gold.

00:13:11.000 Did you know that if you invested $1 million in gold 40 years ago, you'd be sitting on over $50 million today.

00:13:17.000 So think about it.

00:13:18.000 If you put $1,000 in gold today, how much will that be worth when you have grandkids?

00:13:22.000 That could afford any lifestyle you want.

00:13:24.000 I know you've got questions, and Noble Gold is a trustworthy resource for answers.

00:13:33.000 If you didn't start early, that's okay.

00:13:38.000 Visit NobleGoldInvestments.com and call one of their experts, noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:13:44.000 So I'm going to take a temporary pause.

00:13:46.000 Let's see what the Republicans have to say, and then we'll resume.

00:13:49.000 Senator Tim Scott.

00:13:50.000 President Biden promised you a specific kind of leadership.

00:13:54.000 He promised to unite a nation, to lower the temperature, to govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted.

00:14:02.000 This was the pitch.

00:14:03.000 You just heard it again.

00:14:05.000 But our nation is starving for more than empty platitudes.

00:14:09.000 We need policies and progress that brings us closer together.

00:14:14.000 But three months in, the actions of the president and his party are pulling us further and further apart.

00:14:21.000 I won't waste your time with finger-pointing or partisan victory.

00:14:24.000 You can get that on TV anytime you want.

00:14:27.000 I want to have an honest conversation about common sense and common ground, about this feeling that our nation is sliding off its shared foundation and how we move forward together.

00:14:39.000 Growing up, I never dreamed I would be standing here tonight.

00:14:43.000 When I was a kid, my parents divorced.

00:14:46.000 My mother, my brother, and I moved in with my grandparents, three of us, sharing one bedroom.

00:14:53.000 I was disillusioned and angry, and I nearly failed out of school.

00:14:58.000 But I was blessed.

00:15:00.000 First, with a praying mama.

00:15:02.000 And let me say this: to the single mothers out there who are working their tails off, working hard, trying to make the ends meet, wondering if it's worth it, you can bet it is.

00:15:15.000 God bless your amazing effort on the part of your kids.

00:15:20.000 I was also blessed by a Chick-fil-A operator, John Lenis.

00:15:25.000 And finally, with a string of opportunities that are only possible here in America.

00:15:31.000 This past year, I've watched COVID attack every rung of the ladder that helped me up.

00:15:37.000 So many families have lost parents and grandparents too early.

00:15:42.000 So many small businesses have gone under.

00:15:45.000 Becoming a Christian transformed my life, but for months, too many churches were shut down.

00:15:52.000 Most of all, I'm saddened that millions of kids have lost a year of learning when they could not afford to lose a single day.

00:16:02.000 Locking vulnerable kids out of the classroom is locking adults out of their future.

00:16:09.000 Our public schools should have reopened months ago.

00:16:13.000 Other countries did.

00:16:14.000 Private and religious schools did.

00:16:17.000 Science has shown for months that schools are safe.

00:16:21.000 But too often, powerful grown-ups set science aside and kids like me were left behind.

00:16:30.000 The clearest case I've seen for school choice in our lifetimes because we know that education is the closest thing to magic in America.

00:16:41.000 Last year, under Republican leadership, we passed five bipartisan COVID packages.

00:16:47.000 Congress supported our schools, our hospitals, saved our economy, and funded Operation Warp Speed, delivering vaccines in record time.

00:16:56.000 All five bills got 90, 90 votes in the Senate.

00:17:02.000 Common sense found common ground.

00:17:05.000 In February, Republicans told President Biden we wanted to keep working together to finish this fight.

00:17:12.000 But Democrats wanted to go it alone.

00:17:15.000 They spent almost $2 trillion on a partisan bill that the White House bragged was the most liberal bill in American history.

00:17:25.000 Only 1% went to vaccinations, no requirement to reopen schools promptly.

00:17:31.000 COVID brought Congress together five times.

00:17:35.000 This administration pushed us apart.

00:17:38.000 Another issue that should unite us is infrastructure.

00:17:42.000 Republicans support everything you think of when you think of infrastructure.

00:17:47.000 Roads, bridges, ports, airports, waterways, high-speed broadband.

00:17:53.000 We're in for all of that.

00:17:55.000 But again, Democrats want a partisan wish list.

00:17:59.000 They won't even build bridges to build bridges.

00:18:03.000 Less than 6% of the president's plan goes to roads and bridges.

00:18:08.000 It's a liberal wish list of big government waste, plus the biggest job-killing tax hikes in a generation.

00:18:17.000 Experts say when all is said and done, it would lower wages of the average American worker and shrink our economy.

00:18:27.000 Tonight, we also heard about a so-called family plan, even more taxing, even more spending to put Washington even more in the middle of your life from the cradle to college.

00:18:42.000 The beauty of the American dream is that families get to define it for themselves.

00:18:48.000 We should be expanding opportunities and options for all families, not throwing money at certain issues because Democrats think they know best.

00:18:58.000 Infrastructure spending that shrinks our economy is not common sense.

00:19:04.000 Weakening our southern borders and creating a crisis is not compassionate.

00:19:09.000 The president is also abandoning principles he's held for decades.

00:19:13.000 Now he says your tax dollars should fund abortions.

00:19:18.000 He's laying groundwork to pack the Supreme Court.

00:19:22.000 This is not common ground.

00:19:27.000 Nowhere do we need common ground more desperately than in our discussions of race.

00:19:35.000 I have experienced the pain of discrimination.

00:19:38.000 I know what it feels like to be pulled over for no reason, to be followed around the store while I'm shopping.

00:19:46.000 I remember every morning at the kitchen table, my grandfather would open the newspaper and read it, I thought.

00:19:54.000 But later I realized he had never learned to read it.

00:19:57.000 He just wanted to set the right example.

00:20:00.000 I've also experienced a different kind of intolerance.

00:20:03.000 I get called Uncle Tom and the N-word by progressives, by liberals.

00:20:08.000 Just last week, a national newspaper suggested my family's poverty was actually privilege because a relative owned land generations before my time.

00:20:21.000 Believe me, I know firsthand our healing is not finished.

00:20:27.000 In 2015, after the shooting of Walter Scott, I wrote a bill to fund body cameras.

00:20:33.000 Last year, after the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, I built an even bigger police reform proposal.

00:20:41.000 But my Democratic colleagues blocked it.

00:20:43.000 I extended an olive branch.

00:20:45.000 I offered amendments, but Democrats used a filibuster to block the debate from even happening.

00:20:52.000 My friends across the aisle seemed to want the issue more than they wanted a solution.

00:20:58.000 But I'm still working.

00:21:00.000 I'm hopeful that this will be different.

00:21:03.000 When America comes together, we've made tremendous progress, but powerful forces want to pull us apart.

00:21:10.000 A hundred years ago, kids in classrooms were taught the color of their skin was their most important characteristic.

00:21:18.000 And if they looked a certain way, they were inferior.

00:21:22.000 Today, kids are being taught that the color of their skin defines them again.

00:21:28.000 And if they look a certain way, they're an oppressor.

00:21:31.000 From colleges to corporations to our culture, people are making money and gaining power by pretending we haven't made any progress at all, by doubling down on the divisions we've worked so hard to heal.

00:21:45.000 You know this stuff is wrong.

00:21:47.000 Hear me clearly.

00:21:49.000 America is not a racist country.

00:21:54.000 It's backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination.

00:21:59.000 And it's wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.

00:22:07.000 I'm an African American who has voted in the South my entire life.

00:22:11.000 I take voting rights personally.

00:22:14.000 Republicans support making it easier to vote and harder to cheat.

00:22:20.000 And so do the voters.

00:22:21.000 Big majorities of Americans support early voting and big majorities support voter ID, including African Americans and Hispanics.

00:22:30.000 Common sense makes common ground.

00:22:34.000 But today, this conversation has collapsed.

00:22:38.000 The state of Georgia passed a law that expands early voting, preserves no excuse mail-in voting, and despite what the president claimed, did not reduce election day hours.

00:22:51.000 If you actually read this law, it's mainstream.

00:22:56.000 It will be easier to vote early in Georgia than in Democrat-run New York.

00:23:02.000 But the left doesn't want you to know that.

00:23:04.000 They want people virtue signaling by yelling about a law they haven't even read.

00:23:10.000 Fact checkers have called out the White House for misstatements.

00:23:14.000 The president absurdly claims that this is worse than Jim Crow.

00:23:20.000 What is going on here?

00:23:22.000 I'll tell you, a Washington power grab.

00:23:26.000 This misplaced outrage is supposed to justify Democrats' new sweeping bill that would take over elections for all 50 states.

00:23:36.000 It would send public funds to political campaigns you disagree with and make the bipartisan Federal Elections Commission partisan.

00:23:45.000 This is not about civil rights or our racial past.

00:23:49.000 It's about rigging elections in the future.

00:23:53.000 And no, the same filibuster that President Obama and President Biden praised when they were senators, the same filibuster that the Democrats used to kill my police reform bill last year has not suddenly become a racist relic just because the shoe is now on the other foot.

00:24:12.000 Race is not a political weapon to settle every issue the way one side wants.

00:24:18.000 It's far too important.

00:24:22.000 This should be a joyful springtime for our nation.

00:24:25.000 This administration inherited a tide that had already turned.

00:24:29.000 The coronavirus is on the run.

00:24:32.000 Thanks to Operation Warp Speed and the Trump administration, our country is flooded with safe and effective vaccines.

00:24:40.000 Thanks to our bipartisan work last year, job openings are rebounding.

00:24:44.000 So why do we feel so divided, anxious?

00:24:50.000 A nation with so much cause for hope should not feel so heavy laden.

00:24:57.000 A president who promised to bring us together should not be pushing agendas that tear us apart.

00:25:06.000 The American family deserves better, and we know what better looks like.

00:25:11.000 Just before COVID, we had the most inclusive economy in my lifetime, the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians, and a 70-year low nearly for women.

00:25:25.000 Wages were, hear me, wages were growing faster at the bottom than at the top.

00:25:32.000 The bottom 25% saw their wages go up faster than the top 25%.

00:25:37.000 That happened because Republicans focused on expanding opportunity for all Americans.

00:25:44.000 In addition to that, we passed opportunity zones, criminal justice reform, and permanent funding for historically black colleges and universities for the first time ever.

00:25:56.000 We fought the drug epidemic, rebuilt our military, and cut taxes for working families and single moms like the one that raised me.

00:26:04.000 Our best future will not come from Washington schemes or socialist dreams.

00:26:09.000 It will come from you, the American people, black, Hispanic, white, and Asian, Republican and Democrat, brave police officers in black neighborhoods.

00:26:20.000 We are not adversaries.

00:26:23.000 We are family.

00:26:25.000 We are all in this together, and we get to live in the greatest country on earth.

00:26:32.000 The country where my grandfather in his 94 years saw his family go from cotton to Congress in one lifetime.

00:26:43.000 So I am more than hopeful.

00:26:46.000 I am confident that our finest hour is yet to come.

00:26:50.000 Original sin is never the end of the story.

00:26:55.000 Not in our souls and not for our nation.

00:26:59.000 The real story is always redemption.

00:27:03.000 I am standing here because my mom has prayed me through some really tough times.

00:27:10.000 I believe our nation has succeeded the same way because generations of Americans in their own ways have asked for grace and God has supplied it.

00:27:21.000 So I will close with a word from a worship song that really helped me through this past year of COVID.

00:27:28.000 The music is new, but the words draw from scripture.

00:27:32.000 May the Lord bless you and keep you.

00:27:36.000 Make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

00:27:40.000 May his presence go before you and behind you and beside you in your weeping and your rejoicing.

00:27:48.000 He is for you.

00:27:51.000 May his favor be upon our nation for a thousand generations and your family and your children and their children.

00:28:01.000 Good night and God bless the United States of America.

00:28:10.000 So have you ever browsed in incognito mode?

00:28:13.000 It's probably not as incognito as you think.

00:28:15.000 And why would it be?

00:28:15.000 Incognito mode, like the Chrome browser itself is a Google product and Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online.

00:28:21.000 There's even a $5 billion class action lawsuit against the company in California where it's accused of secretly collecting user data.

00:28:28.000 Google's defense, incognito does not mean invisible.

00:28:30.000 So how do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online, ExpressVPN?

00:28:35.000 Turns out that even in incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked.

00:28:39.000 And data brokers still get to buy and sell your data.

00:28:42.000 One of these data points is in your IP address.

00:28:44.000 Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location, but with ExpressVPN, your connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and your IP address is masked.

00:28:53.000 Every time you connect to ExpressVPN, you get a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers that makes it harder for third parties to identify you or harvest your data.

00:29:01.000 Best of all, ExpressVPN is super easy to use, no matter what device you're on, phone, laptop, or smart TV.

00:29:06.000 All you have to do is tap one button for instant protection.

00:29:09.000 So if you really want to go incognito and protect your privacy, secure yourself with the number one rated VPN.

00:29:13.000 Visit expressvpn.com slash Charlie.

00:29:15.000 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-PN.com slash Charlie, expressvpn.com slash Charlie.

00:29:23.000 So that's what the Republicans have to say.

00:29:25.000 We'll talk about that.

00:29:28.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:29:30.000 I'd actually love to hear your thoughts on that response.

00:29:35.000 We actually have an email from Grace I want to read in a second.

00:29:40.000 So Joe Biden basically gave a war update as he marches through the Tigris and the Euphrates equivalent of the nation.

00:29:52.000 And I guess Republicans are suing for peace is basically what it sounds like.

00:29:57.000 And so Senator Tim Scott's a nice man.

00:29:59.000 I've met him a couple times.

00:30:02.000 I just think he's vastly underestimating what we're dealing with right now.

00:30:07.000 So let's go through the speech of what Joe Biden did.

00:30:09.000 And then I'm going to be very critical on Republicans because they have no idea what they're doing right now.

00:30:13.000 Democrats have us exactly where they want us.

00:30:17.000 Running, afraid, and complaining that they're dividing the country.

00:30:21.000 I'm telling you right now, complaining is not going to get us anywhere.

00:30:25.000 We are in a brass knuckle brawl politically for the future of our nation.

00:30:30.000 They are willing to use every apparatus of political power to remake America in their image.

00:30:35.000 And we're trying to find common ground and common sense.

00:30:38.000 All right, Joe Biden completely ungrateful when it came to the vaccine.

00:30:41.000 No mention whatsoever.

00:30:42.000 No thanks at all to his predecessor.

00:30:44.000 I want you to think for a second.

00:30:46.000 How could you have two apparatchiks wearing masks behind you, everyone else wearing masks?

00:30:53.000 The whole country got locked down as a response to the virus.

00:30:57.000 And you don't mention once where the virus came from?

00:31:02.000 You don't mention the place of origination.

00:31:06.000 Instead, he talks glowingly about he has spent dinner dates with Xi Jiping. 0.58

00:31:12.000 He talks about how he's toured the world with Xi Ji Ping as if he's been on like an Expedia commercial with him. 0.50

00:31:19.000 I've spent, I've traveled 17,000 miles with him.

00:31:23.000 This was the Chinese coronavirus, the China virus.

00:31:27.000 Joe Biden didn't mention once that this likely came from the Wuhan Institute Vervirology, that we funded ourselves.

00:31:34.000 Anyone else notice that?

00:31:36.000 Anyone else notice that he did not mention the very serious question?

00:31:40.000 All he would have to say to satisfy me, and we're going to find where this virus came from, and we're going to make them pay.

00:31:45.000 This is an epidemiological Pearl Harbor.

00:31:47.000 You want to know an attack on our country, Joe Biden?

00:31:51.000 It wasn't the guy from MASH and the zip tie guy and the Chewbacca shaman man, the JV squad, of which we've done plenty of denunciations of.

00:32:02.000 No, no, no.

00:32:02.000 Instead, you want to know an attack on our nation?

00:32:05.000 How about China launching an epidemiological, maybe launching, maybe releasing, maybe it was a mistake, maybe it came from a bat wet market. 1.00

00:32:13.000 We all know where it really came from, but I'm saying allegedly. 0.98

00:32:17.000 And yet Joe Biden does not say once, I owe it to you Americans whose son is not in school or daughter is not in school, that we're going to get to the bottom of this.

00:32:25.000 And Senator Tim Scott, why did you not mention that?

00:32:28.000 Senator Tim Scott, why didn't you say, Joe Biden, how dare you not bring up the fact that this virus came from China?

00:32:36.000 That dislocated all of our lives, that displaced our well-being, that killed our family members, that killed our friends. 0.81

00:32:42.000 And we're talking about common ground and common sense. 0.91

00:32:45.000 You have a guy who's bragging that he's in the sisterhood of the traveling pants with Xi Ji Ping, going around on an intercontinental tour with him.

00:32:55.000 You know, I've spent a lot of time with him, and he's really earnest.

00:32:59.000 He used the word earnest.

00:33:00.000 We're going to get to that in a second.

00:33:02.000 No mention of where the virus came from.

00:33:04.000 I'm going to talk about two things that I think, one thing that I think Biden did well, and one thing I think Republicans can learn on.

00:33:11.000 And some of this is, again, some of this is a little bit choppy because I'm doing this on the fly.

00:33:15.000 So I apologize as I'm giving this, but it's really important because it's going to tell you where we're headed as a nation and where we're headed politically.

00:33:23.000 Biden talking about self-sufficiency was the strongest part of his speech.

00:33:28.000 Now, if Republicans were smart, which they aren't, Republicans would introduce their own self-sufficiency bill and they'd say, hey, Joe Biden, we'd be happy to invest a bunch of money in making vitamin C in our country, making penicillin and making textiles, but we're going to bring no new people into America until we reach full employment.

00:33:45.000 And every single college graduate that has debt in America has a high-paying job that can pay off their debt.

00:33:51.000 Instead, we're now going to pander to this open borders fictitious dream of corporate America so the Democrats can bring in more obedient voters.

00:34:00.000 That's basically where we are. 0.96

00:34:02.000 But Biden is being puppeteered by people that aren't dumb. 0.77

00:34:09.000 So I wrote during the speech this, that Biden is using the most popular part of Trump's economic message against Republicans. 0.95

00:34:20.000 Now, by the way, Joe Biden is a corporate hack.

00:34:22.000 He doesn't believe any of this stuff.

00:34:24.000 But instead, millions of people at Tune In tonight think that Joe Biden is now going to be the ambassador of America First Economics.

00:34:34.000 That Joe Biden is the one that said, and a very powerful part of his speech was, Joe Biden said that he wants, I don't know, what was it, wind panels or something ridiculous made in solar panels, wind turbines, yeah, so we can kill our bird population.

00:34:50.000 We should make them in Pittsburgh and not in Wuhan or Beijing.

00:34:54.000 Powerful line.

00:34:56.000 Very powerful.

00:35:00.000 America First and America First Economics is a very popular position.

00:35:06.000 Donald Trump, obviously, was the one that pioneered this.

00:35:10.000 Joe Biden is picking one part that he thinks he can use as temporary disguise and camouflage to pander to Midwestern voters without actually delivering anything to them.

00:35:21.000 So Joe Biden says that the environment is all about jobs.

00:35:25.000 Joe Biden, did you plan on apologizing to the 11,000 workers you displaced when you got rid of the Keystone XL pipeline?

00:35:33.000 11,000 families that are no longer able to enjoy an upper middle class lifestyle because of you.

00:35:42.000 Joe Biden, the job terminator, not one mention of that at all whatsoever.

00:35:47.000 But he does think that raising the minimum wage to $15, which would be a tax on black and Hispanic workers and small businesses across the country, he believes that this is something that is worth fighting for.

00:36:01.000 Platitude, not good policy.

00:36:04.000 Joe Biden says it's time to end cancer as we know it.

00:36:07.000 Very admirable, but a completely false promise, and he knows it.

00:36:11.000 It's a cheap applause line.

00:36:13.000 Joe Biden, you're not going to end cancer anytime soon.

00:36:16.000 It's not going to happen.

00:36:17.000 And it's lying to your voters.

00:36:19.000 It's a cheap applause line.

00:36:22.000 Now, what was really happening here was Joe Biden was ambitiously playing offense.

00:36:30.000 He views himself as a Woodrow Wilson type figure.

00:36:33.000 He wants to be known as the most liberal president in the last 100 years.

00:36:39.000 Not bring people together or unify.

00:36:41.000 And by the way, Republicans' response to this should not be complaining.

00:36:45.000 Do you know what Tim Scott's position should have been? 0.92

00:36:48.000 You know, Joe Biden, you're a bigot. 0.91

00:36:52.000 And you should have to answer for the fact that black kids couldn't go to school the last six months because of your policies. 0.99

00:36:59.000 The Democrat Party is the party of division, racism, and bigotry.

00:37:05.000 And we as Republicans are now going to say that we're going to put American workers first.

00:37:09.000 So we are going to submit our own self-sufficiency bill.

00:37:12.000 Instead, we're playing defense and talking about Breonna Taylor.

00:37:16.000 What are we doing?

00:37:18.000 Accepting the premise that somehow we need a national policing bill?

00:37:21.000 Is that the Republican Party?

00:37:24.000 That we need a stormtrooper force after Emperor Palpatine talks about he just executed Order 66.

00:37:30.000 If you know what I'm talking about, email me, freedom at charliekirk.com for all you Star Wars fans out there.

00:37:34.000 So it was a war footing, and Joe Biden was overseeing a fundamental shift of the American nation, whether you realized that or not.

00:37:42.000 What seemed and felt like at times of a legislative pitch, he was really trying to change the paradigm in the Overton window, saying, we are now in charge.

00:37:54.000 Now, Bill Clinton famously said in one of his State of the Union addresses that the era of big government is over.

00:38:03.000 Some people are tweeting and they say, well, the era of big government is back. 0.95

00:38:06.000 And at Turning Point USA, we literally say big government sucks.

00:38:11.000 I don't really think that's what Joe Biden was saying, though. 0.70

00:38:16.000 What I think he was saying is something much closer to what Julius Caesar would have said.

00:38:26.000 The Roman Republic is dead.

00:38:29.000 That's what it felt like.

00:38:32.000 It felt as if Joe Biden, it seemed through his language, his diction, dystopian look of the two apparatchiks behind him, were in charge.

00:38:44.000 The will of the voters, we don't care.

00:38:46.000 The promises I made are irrelevant.

00:38:49.000 We will make the proper changes necessary to our legislative system and our judicial system, and we will rule with an iron fist.

00:38:58.000 The era of us being in control is here.

00:39:04.000 When will Republicans realize we're not in a policy debate?

00:39:09.000 This is not a Socratic seminar.

00:39:12.000 This is not some professor getting up and saying, give us your ideas, everybody.

00:39:16.000 We're going to come together and then afterwards we're going to get coffee.

00:39:19.000 They're playing for keeps. 0.99

00:39:23.000 So, Joe Biden talks about how he traveled the world with Xi Jiping.

00:39:26.000 He called him, quote, an earnest leader.

00:39:30.000 I guess Mussolini was an earnest leader.

00:39:33.000 Was Joseph Stalin an earnest leader?

00:39:36.000 How about Mao Sedong? 0.86

00:39:38.000 So, Xi Jiping is the heir of Mao Sedong's Red Guard. 0.97

00:39:42.000 This is a man that has Uyghurs in concentration camps who surveils his own citizens. 0.97

00:39:47.000 They have a one-child policy, and they are maybe going to inflict a massive act of war against Taiwan. 0.99

00:39:55.000 And Joe Biden calls them a competitor, as if this is the Chicago Cubs versus the Chicago White Sox.

00:40:01.000 No, no, no.

00:40:02.000 China's not a competitor. 0.99

00:40:03.000 They're an enemy of Western civilization.

00:40:06.000 But Biden very well might be compromised by China, calls him an earnest leader. 0.78

00:40:12.000 This was a philosophical shift that was disguised as a legislative pitch.

00:40:19.000 These massive government proposals, they're so big it makes your head spin.

00:40:24.000 These are wire transfers to the wealthiest people and companies in the world.

00:40:29.000 Now, Joe Biden went out of his way saying that the wealthiest people need to pay more in taxes.

00:40:34.000 Obviously, by doing so, we're going to inflate the currency that will make wealthier people even richer because they can buy hard assets and assets of which you can adjust the rates of which you collect income.

00:40:46.000 And part of what I think is kind of ironic, and I don't feel sorry for them, is that the 1% that voted for Joe Biden might actually have their taxes raised on them.

00:41:00.000 The 1% that financed Joe Biden's campaign very well might have to pay more taxes.

00:41:09.000 Not going to feel sorry for them.

00:41:10.000 So let me give some unsolicited advice to Republicans.

00:41:14.000 Here's a couple things.

00:41:15.000 Number one, don't fight the tax hike on rich people.

00:41:19.000 It is a losing issue.

00:41:22.000 Let it happen and let Democrats fight their own donors.

00:41:26.000 Let Democrats have to get the calls from angry donors.

00:41:28.000 Instead, Republicans, this is the second thing, Republicans should not fight the fact that we can't pay for this.

00:41:35.000 We can't pay for any of this.

00:41:37.000 So it's irrelevant.

00:41:39.000 We're already deficit spending $7 trillion a year.

00:41:42.000 And Jake and I were talking yesterday, I think that's Jake back there.

00:41:45.000 That the debt right now is a national security issue.

00:41:48.000 It's an intentional dollar-diminishing scheme.

00:41:52.000 And for Republicans just to, and Senator Tim Scott, again, nice guy, comes out and is like, well, you know, Congress, we passed five bills.

00:41:58.000 You shouldn't have passed any bills.

00:41:59.000 It's not the role of government to get involved in giving people stimulus payments, bragging about how we've now indebted future generations.

00:42:11.000 I don't care if 94 senators voted for it.

00:42:14.000 No senator should have voted for it.

00:42:15.000 We were against the stimulus then, and we're against the stimulus now.

00:42:18.000 There was no stimulus.

00:42:20.000 You know why?

00:42:20.000 The lockdowns never should have happened.

00:42:23.000 So here's some unsolicited advice to Republicans.

00:42:25.000 Number one, don't fight the tax hike.

00:42:27.000 I'm not supportive of it.

00:42:30.000 Losing political issue.

00:42:31.000 Working people think rich people got too rich this last year and they're not wrong.

00:42:36.000 Now, is a massive tax hike the answer?

00:42:38.000 Probably not.

00:42:39.000 Is confiscatory fiscal policy ever the answer?

00:42:41.000 No.

00:42:42.000 Is it politically a loser?

00:42:44.000 Don't fight it. 0.92

00:42:46.000 Republicans probably will.

00:42:49.000 Republicans are probably going to do a big press conference tomorrow.

00:42:52.000 And Mitch McConnell is going to say, you know, the real problem is the fact that he wants to raise taxes on rich people. 0.92

00:42:58.000 Ridiculous. 0.76

00:43:00.000 Instead, Republicans should call the bluff and submit their own self-sufficiency agenda. 0.94

00:43:06.000 Here's what they should say.

00:43:09.000 By an act of Congress, we will subsidize and penalize if vitamin C, penicillin, Advil, Tylenol, PPE, pharmaceutical development, steel, automobiles are not made in America.

00:43:24.000 Self-sufficiency is a winning issue.

00:43:28.000 It's a 90-10 issue.

00:43:30.000 Let Joe Biden get in a fight with his donors of whether or not he wants to raise taxes.

00:43:37.000 Did you hear one thing from Senator Tim Scott about fighting or challenging the corporate oligarchy?

00:43:46.000 It is probably the number one concern amongst Republican voters that we have a second government in our country that arguably has more power than the federal government.

00:43:57.000 Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Google are creepily micromanaging the decisions of our country, our countrymen, and our nation.

00:44:05.000 They are destroying small businesses.

00:44:07.000 And yet I have to hear about common ground.

00:44:09.000 No, I want to win, not sue for peace.

00:44:13.000 Joe Biden says there's no wall high enough to keep the virus out.

00:44:18.000 He then started to indulge in this kind of global dream over national greatness, an open border agenda.

00:44:26.000 And Joe Biden said America is an idea.

00:44:27.000 No, Joe Biden, America's our home.

00:44:30.000 America's our nation.

00:44:32.000 When you see America's just an idea, and I've said I've been incomplete enough in my past to say that when I really meant that America is an exceptional place where we are going to have families, that we are going to pass down these values generation to generation, that this is not a colony, Joe Biden, where we temporarily make as much money and we could destroy it and leave.

00:44:55.000 This is not a rental property.

00:44:57.000 This is our home.

00:44:59.000 You see, Joe Biden views America like an Airbnb.

00:45:03.000 You can come have a nice weekend, trash it, and get out of Dodge.

00:45:08.000 Who cares who we bring in?

00:45:10.000 The party's open.

00:45:11.000 The credit card's on somebody else.

00:45:14.000 You see, we view America as a home that we grew up in, that our parents raised us in, that our grandparents fought over.

00:45:25.000 So you're not going to wreck that home just for a weekend.

00:45:28.000 It's not a temporary place to pursue pleasure.

00:45:31.000 No, you're going to take ownership of that property.

00:45:36.000 You're going to be really concerned when if you have a small party at your home, someone starts inviting all these people.

00:45:43.000 He's like, I don't know these people.

00:45:44.000 And they start trashing it.

00:45:46.000 Now, obviously, I'm using a metaphor for a broader truth, but it is true.

00:45:51.000 Joe Biden views this country like a timeshare.

00:45:57.000 Get in, get out, not my place, irrelevant.

00:46:01.000 So there are three different types of outcomes of where this can go.

00:46:07.000 Do you view America as a colony, a commune, or our country?

00:46:13.000 A colony is we're going to make as much money as possible and get out of Dodge.

00:46:17.000 A commune is kind of Bernie Sanders' Bolshevik dream.

00:46:20.000 That's not going to happen.

00:46:21.000 Here's a news flash to the communists.

00:46:23.000 The corporatists are playing you, and they're going to win.

00:46:26.000 The communists are not.

00:46:29.000 Number three, or is this a country?

00:46:32.000 The Republican Party should say, you know what?

00:46:34.000 We agree at Joe Biden that Jeff Bezos has too much money and he got it by destroying small business.

00:46:40.000 That's why the Republican Party is going to introduce the Jeff Bezos Act to say that anyone that has more than $100 billion in America should then have to either give the money to charity or should have to be part of some sort of patriotic pledge that they're going to invest in American workers.

00:47:02.000 Whatever.

00:47:03.000 Get creative.

00:47:04.000 Maybe it's all posturing.

00:47:05.000 Instead, I have to go talk about, we have to talk about police reform bills, as if that's an existential threat to our country.

00:47:12.000 Again, Tim Scott, nice guy.

00:47:13.000 I've met him before.

00:47:17.000 Joe Biden never mentions gang violence, the fatherlessness crisis.

00:47:23.000 He mentioned opioids once.

00:47:25.000 Maybe Joe Biden should mention that 77% of Americans, black Americans, do not have a stable father in the home.

00:47:33.000 And that's the Washington Examiner who said that.

00:47:37.000 Joe Biden did not mention at all the cost of lockdowns in our nation.

00:47:40.000 Tim Scott did, to his credit, it was the best part of his speech when he mentioned that schools should have been open quite some time.

00:47:46.000 And he said that parents or adults did not make the right decision, the best part of his speech.

00:47:54.000 But this is where it all kind of came down and to a point of completion.

00:48:00.000 Joe Biden is not president of the United States.

00:48:03.000 He's president of the Democrat Party.

00:48:06.000 We warned about this, that Joe Biden views success as to whether or not Democrats are going to be able to win elections.

00:48:14.000 So Joe Biden then contradicted every single American first pledge he made earlier in the speech with his true ambitions.

00:48:21.000 And listen carefully, everybody. 0.82

00:48:24.000 Open up our country and legalize people that have illegally harbored themselves. 0.71

00:48:29.000 Use immigration as a political strategy. 0.95

00:48:31.000 Thank you, Tucker Carlson, for mentioning that.

00:48:34.000 And then the real completion.

00:48:37.000 The thing that was the bow on the actual goal of the night, HR1.

00:48:45.000 The thing that got Nancy Pelosi so excited, she sprung out of her chair.

00:48:50.000 A permanent power grab.

00:48:52.000 We are going to register felons, people in prison, the entire DMV registry.

00:48:58.000 We're going to get rid of an impartial FEC.

00:49:00.000 All challenges must go through the D.C. court.

00:49:03.000 We will change the way elections operate for good under the guise of democracy.

00:49:09.000 Well, Joe Biden, we're not a democracy.

00:49:11.000 We're a republic.

00:49:12.000 Wouldn't it be nice if Senator Tim Scott would have explained what a republic is?

00:49:16.000 Wouldn't it have been nice to Senator Tim Scott said, you know, a democracy is where the loudest voice and the most people in the streets get what they want.

00:49:23.000 A republic is where there are rules for the road enshrined from natural rights given to us by God, where a slow, decentralized, state-based local process is given preference, and you must have a good idea of a long period of time to revolutionize this country.

00:49:37.000 Wouldn't that be refreshing to hear?

00:49:40.000 So we talk about, no, no, no, I promise you, the Southern bill, the bill in the South is not racist.

00:49:46.000 Of course it's not right.

00:49:46.000 We know it's not racist.

00:49:47.000 Why even accept the premise?

00:49:48.000 Why defend something we know that's not true?

00:49:50.000 Instead, we should say, you know what?

00:49:52.000 If one more corporation does this, the Republican Party will be the punishment of the corporations.

00:49:57.000 You'll pay a price if you declare economic warfare on Georgia.

00:50:06.000 Joe Biden, by pushing forward H.R.1, is basically saying, I want a deathblow to the Republic.

00:50:15.000 It reminds me of this Star Wars scene of Emperor Palpatine.

00:50:18.000 Now, I'm a Star Wars guy.

00:50:19.000 I am.

00:50:20.000 I actually like episode one, two, and three.

00:50:21.000 I'm weird like that.

00:50:22.000 Don't like the new ones.

00:50:23.000 They're all woke and nonsensical.

00:50:25.000 Four, five, and six are works of art.

00:50:27.000 They're beautiful.

00:50:28.000 You might say, what is beauty?

00:50:30.000 That which is perfected in being.

00:50:32.000 But Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, all the same story told differently.

00:50:37.000 And it's, again, have you heard me give this speech before, Connor?

00:50:41.000 I'm sure you have.

00:50:41.000 Yeah, I've given this speech so many times.

00:50:43.000 Same guy.

00:50:46.000 A guy without a father who's raised by his uncle in a less than opportune place under the stairs in the Shire on Tatooine, in a place of innocence, I should say, goes on a journey to go save the innocent around a team that compliments him, faces a challenge that's external, realizes the true challenge is actually inside themselves, the force, the ring, and of course, Voldemort inside of him.

00:51:13.000 Same story told different ways.

00:51:15.000 So this one is episode two.

00:51:17.000 No, this is episode three, I think, which is the Revenge of the Sith, Phantom Menace, Clone Wars, Revenge of the Sith.

00:51:23.000 Am I right?

00:51:24.000 So anyway, Emperor Palpatine, also known as Joe Biden, is literally giving an address to the Senate during this.

00:51:31.000 So you guys, for those that don't like Star Wars, just bear with me.

00:51:34.000 You got to trust me here.

00:51:35.000 It's worth it.

00:51:36.000 So Emperor Palpatine is giving the speech in front of the Senate, literally.

00:51:41.000 And Princess Leia.

00:51:43.000 No, no, no, no, not Leia.

00:51:44.000 No, I'm sorry.

00:51:44.000 No, no, no, no.

00:51:45.000 Leia is not even born yet.

00:51:47.000 What's her name?

00:51:48.000 Princess Pame.

00:51:50.000 Padme, right?

00:51:52.000 Padme.

00:51:53.000 She's watching the speech.

00:51:54.000 And while Palpatine is giving the speech, he has an entire enforcement arm, also known as Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, who's killing the Jedi.

00:52:05.000 Basically, he's saying how wonderful and peaceful things are while his enforcement arm is doing his dirty work while he's giving the Senate.

00:52:12.000 Sound familiar?

00:52:13.000 Enjoy.

00:52:15.000 And the remaining Jedi will be the hunting God and defeated.

00:52:25.000 The attendant on my life has left me scarred.

00:52:31.000 And that is it all.

00:52:34.000 But I fire.

00:52:37.000 My resolve has never been stronger.

00:52:44.000 In order to ensure the security and continuing spirit, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Guyana ticket and empire for a safety and sickness.

00:53:16.000 So this is how liberty dies with thunderous applause.

00:53:22.000 So this is how liberty dies to thunderous applause.

00:53:28.000 And it's hard to hear Palpatine, who, by the way, looks just like Joe Biden.

00:53:33.000 Let's just be very clear.

00:53:34.000 Very similar. 0.99

00:53:35.000 Sickly, old, manipulated, Machiavellian. 0.99

00:53:40.000 And hard to understand.

00:53:41.000 Slurring of the words, too.

00:53:43.000 They have that in common.

00:53:44.000 And Palpatine said, and now I end the Republic, and we will now be the Galactic Empire.

00:53:51.000 Padme, so that's how Liberty dies to thunderous applause.

00:53:58.000 Email us your thoughts, everybody.

00:53:59.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:54:01.000 Barry says, well, it's more of Count Dooku with his strings being pulled and manipulated.

00:54:06.000 Pelosis Palpatine, by the way, man, go watch the movies again before you make the fanboys cry.

00:54:11.000 Hey, in all fairness, I've been too busy working my way through Aristotle's ethics.

00:54:17.000 Okay, but thank you for listening.

00:54:19.000 Barry, God bless you.

00:54:21.000 So in closing here, this was Joe Biden on war footing.

00:54:27.000 Felt like a general getting an update on the war effort.

00:54:30.000 And I wanted Tim Scott to punch back, not sue for peace.

00:54:36.000 They are not going to stop everybody until there is a counteroffensive against them, political, peaceful, counter-offensive, where they know there's a price to these ideas.

00:54:47.000 They are not going to stop ever.

00:54:50.000 This is not about socialism and capitalism.

00:54:53.000 This is about us in charge.

00:54:54.000 You're not.

00:54:55.000 This is about turning us into California, where there's a one-party state and you sit down and obey, and the Republicans are annoying in their ear.

00:55:02.000 What they did to Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, it's coming to a state near you all across the country.

00:55:08.000 They think Republicans are an annoyance.

00:55:12.000 Did Joe Biden do one gesture of unity?

00:55:15.000 Instead, Tim Scott should get angry.

00:55:15.000 Of course not.

00:55:18.000 Say, that's what?

00:55:19.000 We're going to use whatever political power we have.

00:55:19.000 You know what?

00:55:21.000 What Tim Scott should say, I'm calling on the Attorney General of South Carolina, my friend, to go investigate the tech companies because it seems as you'd like them, Joe Biden.

00:55:30.000 Whatever power we have at our disposal, we need to start using because they're unafraid to use theirs.

00:55:38.000 And this is where the base is, everybody.

00:55:40.000 The base of the Republican Party is growing impatient of the same corporate talking point platitudes, the same bumper stickers over and over again.

00:55:49.000 We want action.

00:55:50.000 At the very least, we want a speech that is going to articulate the real problems our country is facing.

00:55:56.000 And it's not national police bills.

00:56:01.000 You think that's how Republicans are going to win?

00:56:03.000 Do you know that the majority of the black community actually has respect for the police? 0.98

00:56:09.000 And then I have to hear about original sin. 0.99

00:56:11.000 I'm sorry, what?

00:56:12.000 What are you talking about, original sin?

00:56:15.000 You're talking about how Thomas Jefferson in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence called slavery an unspeakable sin and blame King George for it.

00:56:22.000 Do you mean the original sin of Vermont abolishing slavery in 1777?

00:56:26.000 Senator Tim Scott, I'd love to get your opinion on the Northwest Territories.

00:56:29.000 Northwest Territories, the first new sovereign piece of land put in front of Congress.

00:56:35.000 And George Washington as president signed into law approved by Congress that it will be a free area, territory, not slave.

00:56:44.000 How's that an original sin?

00:56:46.000 Is the original sin the fact the founders knew slavery was wrong and they're working to untangle it and get rid of it?

00:56:51.000 And it wasn't until the opportunistic political gallivaning of Southern Democrat John C. Calhoun that slavery even made a slight revival in our country?

00:57:01.000 What sort of original sin are you talking about?

00:57:03.000 Of John Quincy Adams, who went back as a public servant to go abolish slavery in the U.S. Congress?

00:57:11.000 Or John Adams, who said that the Constitution is made holy for a religious and moral people.

00:57:16.000 It's inadequate for any other?

00:57:19.000 Or Thomas Jefferson, who signed a new importation ban of slaves into the United States 20 years after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution?

00:57:28.000 Every other country had the original sin of slavery.

00:57:31.000 We're the only ones who founders actually dealt with getting rid of it and gave us an ideal in this, the greatest political document ever written to get rid of it.

00:57:41.000 I don't understand this constant pandering.

00:57:43.000 It's a misrepresentation of history.

00:57:45.000 It's not going to win the future.

00:57:46.000 Instead, bold, decisive, clear leadership is what's going to get it done.

00:57:52.000 Maybe that's why Donald Trump won an election all the moderates couldn't win.

00:57:57.000 Nice guy.

00:57:59.000 But I'm running out of patience with the Neville Chamberlain Republicans suing for peace, wishing for bringing common ground together.

00:58:09.000 He did have some nice parts.

00:58:10.000 Again, I'm glad that he's an articulate for an opportunity-based Republican Party.

00:58:16.000 But my goodness, if you think they're going to stop on the shores of France, they'll be bombing London soon.

00:58:24.000 We do not have a white supremacy problem in our country.

00:58:26.000 We have a liberal supremacy problem in our country.

00:58:30.000 Aaron says, Charlie, thanks so much for your words tonight.

00:58:33.000 You are correct in everything you said about Star Wars.

00:58:34.000 I'm an avid Star Wars fan.

00:58:36.000 And that scene from Revenge of the Sith has been playing my mind for months, especially tonight.

00:58:39.000 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw the parallels.

00:58:41.000 Thank you so much for being bold and not backing down on important issues.

00:58:43.000 It's so infreshing to hear, Aaron.

00:58:44.000 Thank you, Aaron.

00:58:45.000 God bless you.

00:58:46.000 Here's a question from another one of our listeners: freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:58:51.000 You can email us.

00:58:53.000 I think you should run for senator in Arizona.

00:58:53.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:58:55.000 Since Martha McSally lost both races, maybe if you were a senator and you were there to make these speeches for us on these issues would be addressed, and you're not allowed to Democrats stay with murder.

00:59:03.000 You would shape them into place. 0.98

00:59:04.000 Too young for that.

00:59:05.000 And by the way, I'm far too happy to have a run for federal office.

00:59:08.000 I love my life.

00:59:09.000 I get to have this radio show.

00:59:11.000 Having a wonderful time at Turning Point USA, educating the next generation.

00:59:15.000 We're doing a lot of good for the country.

00:59:17.000 And I'll let other people go be miserable and have to go sit through that nonsense.

00:59:22.000 I say this sarcastically and sardonically. 0.94

00:59:26.000 At least the reaction.

00:59:27.000 I'm not running for anything.

00:59:28.000 Let's just be very clear.

00:59:29.000 We're going to grow this podcast to be the number one podcast on the planet.

00:59:33.000 We're going to grow Turning Point USA to be a force for good to educate our children to love our country.

00:59:37.000 I'll leave politics for other people.

00:59:39.000 Far too passionate about this stuff to go try to find common ground in U.S. contest.

00:59:44.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:59:46.000 Email us your thoughts.
