The Charlie Kirk Show - Is The World Economic Forum Evil?

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:01.000 I give you some of the latest news out of the World Economic Forum.

00:00:04.000 I say something that people disagree with.

00:00:06.000 I believe that most of the people in charge of the World Economic Forum have convinced themselves they are doing good even though they are doing evil.

00:00:12.000 I want your thoughts on that question.

00:00:13.000 Email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:15.000 And Congressman Jim Banks attempts to become the next senator from Indiana.

00:00:19.000 I'm behind him 100%.

00:00:21.000 I think very highly of him and he joins us.

00:00:23.000 Email me freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:25.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:25.000 Here we go.

00:00:26.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:28.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:30.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:34.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:37.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:38.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:39.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:41.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:46.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:00:47.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:00:56.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:08.000 Davos continues.

00:01:10.000 The World Economic Forum is meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

00:01:14.000 Over 1,000 private jets have descended into the very small, idyllic mountain town in eastern Switzerland.

00:01:25.000 They are discussing everything from climate change to ESG to the war in Ukraine to border policy to international monetary policy.

00:01:36.000 The world's most powerful people are meeting right now and they're saying some of the private parts out loud.

00:01:43.000 Listen to Klaus Schwab, who is the head of the World Economic Forum, an 84-year-old German historicist, steeped in German philosophy of Hegel, of Nietzsche, of the attempted, in his own view, view that science is not just a process, but it is an end in itself, that the scientific method can actually give us morality, direction, and the answers to some of the more life's deeper questions.

00:02:13.000 This is a German belief that we have not been able to shake, regardless of the horrors of the 20th century.

00:02:19.000 Klaus Schwab greeting the World Economic Forum.

00:02:24.000 And for those of you that are fans of James Bond, this guy is straight out of the archetypal Bond villain type.

00:02:34.000 Play Cut 44.

00:02:35.000 And a very cordial welcome to the annual meeting 2023.

00:02:44.000 We couldn't meet at a more challenging time.

00:02:48.000 We are confronted with so many crises simultaneously.

00:02:55.000 What does it need to master the future?

00:02:59.000 I think to have a platform where all stakeholders of global society are engaged.

00:03:09.000 What does it mean to have mastering the future?

00:03:13.000 It's a very interesting question.

00:03:14.000 Master the future.

00:03:17.000 So as they are meeting, the World Economic Forum in Davos, they're identifying what they consider to be threats to democracy.

00:03:25.000 Now, we are not a democracy in America.

00:03:28.000 We are a constitutional republic, as we say repeatedly.

00:03:32.000 Despite that, people still say we're a democracy.

00:03:35.000 And that's not correct.

00:03:36.000 Democracy is a bad idea.

00:03:38.000 It leads to dictatorship.

00:03:40.000 Democracy is unsustainable.

00:03:42.000 Democracy is not lasting.

00:03:44.000 Democracy is an up or down vote of whether or not you get rights, of whether or not you recognize checks and balances, consent to the governed, separation of powers.

00:03:54.000 We've said this repeatedly on this program.

00:03:56.000 But of course, the World Economic Forum, they like democracy because they know democracy is a transitory phase towards eventual despotic digital dictatorship.

00:04:09.000 Now, one of the threats that they continually focus on at the World Economic Forum and at Davos is this idea of the threat of freedom of speech.

00:04:22.000 Our United States Constitution talks about the moral necessity to be able to speak.

00:04:28.000 There are only two ways that you can govern a people.

00:04:32.000 You can govern them by using force or govern them by using speech.

00:04:37.000 By using speech, that means you have to persuade people.

00:04:40.000 You have to convince people.

00:04:41.000 You have to make good arguments.

00:04:42.000 You have to debate.

00:04:43.000 You have to have dialogue.

00:04:44.000 You have to say, hey, I would like political power and here is why.

00:04:47.000 Please vote for me.

00:04:49.000 Speech is what keeps us from violence, discord, civil war.

00:04:55.000 Speech is what keeps us from the beasts.

00:04:58.000 Speech requires reason.

00:05:00.000 Speech requires rationality.

00:05:03.000 It requires nuance.

00:05:04.000 It requires building of consensus.

00:05:07.000 Force is easy.

00:05:09.000 Force is, I have more weapons than you do.

00:05:12.000 I control the military and you do not. 0.99

00:05:14.000 I am going to use political power and I'm going to extinguish you.

00:05:17.000 Every single political project in the history of the human species can be broken in to one of two categories.

00:05:25.000 Either you are governing people with a preference of speech or governing people with a preference using force.

00:05:35.000 The one thing that dictatorships and despotic governments all had in common prior to the American Revolution is that, yes, there were serfs and there were slaves and they were subjects, but there were always more serfs, slaves, and subjects than there were leaders and rulers.

00:05:53.000 The American Revolution changed everything and said that one of the main arguments was that the consent of the government, the permission of the people is necessary.

00:06:01.000 But one of the big complaints coming out of Davos is that a fruit of the American Revolution is what is making it hard for us to continue to progress towards some sort of heaven on earth and some sort of inevitable utopia.

00:06:14.000 Listen to the New York Times columnist or writer talking here on Davos, Cut 35.

00:06:21.000 They call this disinformation, but anytime you hear them complaining about disinformation, you should instead replace that term with free speech.

00:06:30.000 When they say disinformation, they are really attacking freedom of speech.

00:06:34.000 Play Cut 35.

00:06:36.000 How does this discussion of disinformation relate to everything else happening here today in Davos?

00:06:42.000 So I think if you look at this question of disinformation, I think it maps basically to every other major challenge that we are grappling with as a society, and particularly the most existential among them.

00:06:56.000 And, you know, that immediately undermines pluralism.

00:07:02.000 And, you know, the undermining of pluralism is probably the most dangerous thing that can happen to a democracy.

00:07:08.000 Now, I'm sure pluralism is not something, it's not a kitchen table issue for many of you. 0.99

00:07:13.000 Pluralism, they're trying to use these kind of more abstract terms as a way to make themselves seem more intelligent when in reality they're a pack of fools. 0.75

00:07:20.000 But pluralism is a political philosophy and the recognition and affirmation of diversity within a political body. 0.82

00:07:27.000 So basically they're saying disinformation, the ability to speak freely, the ability to challenge authority, that is the fundamental challenge in front of all challenges.

00:07:38.000 That is the one that supersedes them all.

00:07:40.000 And if you think about it, look at how they have continually focused on suppressing speech, censoring different ideas, whether it be through Twitter, the Department of Homeland Security, through COVID on the vaccines.

00:07:54.000 They have to be able to shut you up, regardless of your argument, regardless of how important it is to be able to speak.

00:08:07.000 The masters of the universe, the philosopher kings that run the World Economic Forum are saying the great threat to our society, the great threat to our aims and our ambitions and our goals is the fact that dissidents can speak their mind.

00:08:24.000 They're pinpointing the fight for our time.

00:08:26.000 They want to get us closer towards a regime that is not focused on convincing people to give up political power or to delegate political power.

00:08:35.000 No, they want to invert the entire premise of the American Constitution.

00:08:41.000 Instead, they want people, they want to live in a society where you are able to use force to control other people.

00:08:49.000 Why?

00:08:50.000 Because their ideas are so bad.

00:08:52.000 Their ideas are so unpopular.

00:08:54.000 They know this, that the idea of 15-minute cities and digital passports, vaccine passports, digital ID, they will not be able to convince people to be able to participate in them, though.

00:09:06.000 They must use force.

00:09:07.000 And speech is a threat to their aims and their ambitions by using force.

00:09:13.000 Whether it be carbon footprint trackers, the global warming siege against any sort of production of natural gas, which is environmentally friendly, abundant, cheap, and affordable.

00:09:26.000 They have a very specific end goal.

00:09:28.000 And the goal they have in mind is they are in charge and you are not.

00:09:34.000 To remake the world in an image that is their own. 0.65

00:09:37.000 As Yoval Harari says, we are going to make human beings gods to become like the divine.

00:10:48.000 One of our incredible listeners poised a very important question.

00:10:52.000 They said, Charlie, I love the show.

00:10:53.000 Don't these people know they are doing evil?

00:10:55.000 No, they don't know that.

00:10:58.000 In fact, it's the exact opposite.

00:11:00.000 They believe they are doing good.

00:11:04.000 In the first line of Aristotle's ethics, he said, every art, every inquiry points towards some good.

00:11:11.000 The argument that Aristotle was making is that outside of the mentally insane and the clinically disturbed, the people that legitimately need to be in insane asylums, people think they are doing well.

00:11:23.000 They think they're doing good.

00:11:24.000 It points towards some good.

00:11:25.000 The question is, what is good?

00:11:26.000 And if you can't define what is good, then everyone will do right what is in their own eyes, as it says in the scriptures.

00:11:33.000 But no, John Kerry to Al Gore to Klaus Schwab, the people in charge of the World Economic Forum, they truly believe that they are on a moral crusade to improve the world.

00:11:45.000 In fact, they're telling us this.

00:11:47.000 One of the most dangerous things you can hear a powerful person say is, I am here to save the world.

00:11:57.000 More damage has been done in the name of trying to save the world in the last 100 years than any other promise.

00:12:07.000 Play cut 36, John Kerry admits and acknowledges, he says, how incredible that we get to be gathered here to save the planet.

00:12:19.000 Play Cut 36.

00:12:22.000 And when you stop and think about it, it's pretty extraordinary that we, a select group of human beings, because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives, are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet.

00:12:42.000 I mean, it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about, quote, saving the planet.

00:12:48.000 And you said that to most people. 0.94

00:12:49.000 Most people, they think you're just a crazy, tree-hugging, lefty, liberal, you know, do-getter, whatever. 0.97

00:12:56.000 And there's no relationship. 0.96

00:12:57.000 But really, that's where we are.

00:13:00.000 And what touched us?

00:13:01.000 Yeah, Heinz Ketchup touched you, John Kerry.

00:13:03.000 Without marrying into a certain family fortune, you would be completely irrelevant.

00:13:08.000 You would be a draft-dodging Vietnam war protesting smug hippie if it wasn't for your access to a certain trust fund.

00:13:19.000 We select group of human beings.

00:13:22.000 We select group of human beings.

00:13:25.000 Now, by the way, some people might attack me for calling him a draft dodger.

00:13:30.000 There was some controversy.

00:13:32.000 The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, though, there was something there, though.

00:13:36.000 One of our team members says that he fought in Vietnam.

00:13:39.000 I don't know.

00:13:40.000 I remember there was a huge controversy with John Kerry and the Swiftboat veterans.

00:13:44.000 I would go back and look at that, but that's, I think I was in fourth grade at the time.

00:13:48.000 So if I'm incorrect, I apologize.

00:13:50.000 But there's plenty of other things you could attack John Kerry on.

00:13:52.000 But go look up the Swift Boat veterans.

00:13:55.000 They are not fans of John Kerry.

00:13:57.000 I'll tell you what.

00:13:59.000 But I'll tell you, the essence of what John Kerry is saying is that I am able to be part of the club with you to help save the world.

00:14:10.000 We select group of human beings, masters of the universe, the people that deserve to have power, not because we are elected, not because we have been selected by the people, but because we want to save the world.

00:14:28.000 That should send chills down your spine.

00:14:31.000 That we deserve to have more authority under this guise of environmentalism.

00:14:38.000 Anytime you hear a push for environmentalism, it is a camouflaged effort to bring us closer towards a differentism, totalitarianism.

00:14:49.000 It's just so interesting when John Kerry says, we, the select group of people, we in the country club, we within the chamber of the select.

00:15:04.000 It's fascinating.

00:15:06.000 Someone says, Charlie, you don't really believe that John Kerry and the rest of the people think they're on a moral crusade?

00:15:11.000 This is about control, Charlie.

00:15:12.000 You're totally wrong.

00:15:13.000 This is the first time I've heard you say something totally naive.

00:15:15.000 Of course it's about control.

00:15:16.000 But Charles, you emailed me.

00:15:17.000 John Kerry thinks he's doing good.

00:15:19.000 On his private jet back to America, John Kerry's convinced himself that what he is doing is the right thing.

00:15:27.000 They don't think they're doing evil.

00:15:31.000 Charlie Kirk here, look, I've told you about producer Andrew and how Relief Factor has really improved his life and relieved the pain in his knees and back.

00:15:38.000 Now, let me tell you about Yvonne in California.

00:15:41.000 She says this, quote, both my husband and I are in our 70s and so grateful to have found Relief Factor.

00:15:46.000 We've tried so many other solutions, but none of them have given us the freedom from aches and pains like Relief Factor.

00:15:52.000 I hear you, Yvonne.

00:15:53.000 Relief Factor works for me too.

00:16:26.000 Live your best life and feel the difference with Relief Factor.

00:16:32.000 Joining us now is Congressman Jim Banks, who is now officially running for Senate in the great state of Indiana.

00:16:41.000 Congressman, welcome to the program.

00:16:43.000 Hey, Charlie, good to be with you.

00:16:45.000 Glad to make this formal announcement with you today.

00:16:47.000 I'm running for the United States Senate. 0.67

00:16:49.000 You and I both know we need to shake up the Senate. 0.97

00:16:52.000 We need more conservatives in the United States Senate.

00:16:55.000 I've been a conservative fighter in the House.

00:16:58.000 And with the open Senate seat in Indiana, this is an opportunity for me to go and be a conservative fighter in the United States Senate, too.

00:17:05.000 Well, we're thrilled and I'm 100% behind you.

00:17:08.000 I think you're going to do a great job.

00:17:09.000 And it's going to be, we'll see how tough the primary is, but we're behind you.

00:17:14.000 And you've been a fighter in the House on a lot of different issues, thinking about the erosion of the American middle class and the restoration of manufacturing.

00:17:21.000 But let me kind of just take a step back.

00:17:23.000 Let's talk about the why you are running.

00:17:27.000 And I also want to talk about one of the things that angered me most in the last month and a half, which is this omnibus bill.

00:17:32.000 Business as usual is unacceptable.

00:17:35.000 And we have Republican leadership that seems to enthusiastically embrace the worst of all ideas that put us further into debt, keep our borders open, but secure the borders of far off distant land.

00:17:44.000 The omnibus, you as a senator, would you put up with something like that?

00:17:49.000 Not at all.

00:17:50.000 I fought against it in the House.

00:17:50.000 I vote against it.

00:17:52.000 And we need fighters in the Senate for this reason.

00:17:56.000 It angered me: $1.7 trillion, but also the left-wing woke agenda was planted in that spending bill, too.

00:18:04.000 Where was the fight?

00:18:05.000 Where were the fighters in the Senate pushing back against it?

00:18:09.000 That's as I spent the holidays with my wife praying about running for Senate, thinking about it when Mike Braun, who is a reliable conservative, by the way, told me that he's running for governor.

00:18:19.000 And I found out this Senate seat was going to be open.

00:18:22.000 I spent a couple of months thinking about it.

00:18:24.000 But when I found out, when I saw some Republicans in the Senate go along with Democrats and pass a $1.7 trillion omnibus at a time when our inflation is already historically high and not fight back against it, I knew I was being called to run for the Senate at that moment.

00:18:40.000 So that's one of the big reasons why I want to do it.

00:18:42.000 Yeah.

00:18:42.000 And one of the issues is that it seems as if there's vote trading going on where certain retiring senators provide cover fire for other senators.

00:18:51.000 And it's so incestuous and it's so broken.

00:18:55.000 But increasing the ranks of people like you and JD Vance and Mike Lee and Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, I am starting to see some momentum.

00:19:05.000 I'm starting to see some change that the business in the Senate of the old bulls, we're not going to put up with this anymore.

00:19:13.000 Totally right.

00:19:14.000 That's why I'm running, Charlie.

00:19:17.000 We need a new generation of conservative fighters like JD Vance, a number of others, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, the guy, Rand Paul, the guys that you just mentioned.

00:19:27.000 Josh Hawley.

00:19:28.000 Josh Hawley, a great conservative leader.

00:19:31.000 So I want to be a part of that.

00:19:33.000 We got to shake it up.

00:19:34.000 We need new conservative leadership there.

00:19:36.000 Go to banksforSenate.com today.

00:19:38.000 Help me out because the establishment is already fighting against me.

00:19:41.000 They're trying to recruit a candidate in Indiana to run against me because I have been a conservative fighter in the House and they want to block me from going to the Senate.

00:19:50.000 So I need your help.

00:19:51.000 That's why I wanted to talk to you today to tell you I'm running.

00:19:54.000 I want to be a conservative fighter in the Senate, but I need your help by going to banksforsenate.com, help me out, donate, volunteer, get involved today.

00:20:03.000 I won't let you down.

00:20:05.000 Yeah, and I know that because you've been a great voice in the House.

00:20:09.000 And I mean, look, you.

00:20:11.000 Who knows who's going to run up against you?

00:20:13.000 I'm sure there's massive efforts to try to draft Mitch Daniels, who I always found to be a very pleasant, I mean, the perfect caricature of what an Indiana gentleman is, but he's a Republican from a time long gone.

00:20:25.000 That's what excites me about your candidacy.

00:20:27.000 And, you know, I'm going to encourage everyone to keep this focused on policy, but Mitch Daniels would probably, you know, if he runs, and I don't want to make this all about him, but would represent a neoliberal view of the world where there's nothing wrong with sending our jobs overseas.

00:20:42.000 Border protection should not necessarily be a priority.

00:20:45.000 And we should just send money abroad while our own country falls apart.

00:20:49.000 You've been a very articulate voice for the restoration of American manufacturing and the middle class.

00:20:55.000 In fact, I'm going to butcher the title, but you sent out a document as the head of the Republican Study Committee.

00:20:59.000 I mean, last year or something.

00:21:01.000 Walk our audience through that.

00:21:02.000 That was very bold of you.

00:21:04.000 Yeah, and Charlie, you're so right.

00:21:06.000 I mean, it was old school Republicans, establishment Republicans who are beholden to multinational corporate interest who sold us out to China and sent our jobs overseas.

00:21:17.000 And Donald Trump was the first president of my lifetime who said China is a threat to the United States.

00:21:22.000 We're going to do something about it.

00:21:24.000 And for four years, I fought alongside him to restore American manufacturing, working class jobs back here at home. 1.00

00:21:32.000 I'm the son of a factory worker.

00:21:33.000 My dad made axles all of his life.

00:21:35.000 My mom was a cook in a nursing home.

00:21:37.000 I grew up in a trailer park.

00:21:39.000 And this country gave me incredible opportunities.

00:21:42.000 But it was these old school Republicans who sold us out to China that killed jobs like the one, like jobs like my dad had and other blue-collar Americans had.

00:21:52.000 So we got to do something about that.

00:21:54.000 The memo that I gave to Kevin McCarthy a couple of years ago was simply said that if we want to keep the blue-collar working class voters that grew the Republican Party when Donald Trump was in office, we have to have a Republican Party agenda that reflects and represents the values of those voters.

00:22:14.000 That's the America first agenda, putting America first in our trade deals, putting America first in our foreign policy, securing the border and stopping illegals from taking American jobs. 0.87

00:22:26.000 So those are the policies that we have to go back to fighting for.

00:22:30.000 And I don't see enough leadership and conservative fighters in the Senate who are doing that.

00:22:36.000 That's why I'm running for the Senate and announcing my candidacy today.

00:22:39.000 Yeah, and I think that's so important.

00:22:41.000 And so, you know, we look at an issue, for example, like the open border, and I'm starting to see some really good movement in the House.

00:22:49.000 In fact, I think the House, because of people like you and because of some of these new freshmen, it's actually becoming a more centered representative body.

00:23:00.000 I'll be honest.

00:23:01.000 I'm thrilled with some of the stuff I'm seeing, the anti-CCP committee, Swawel, Elon, and Schiff off committees, you know, a church and pike committee. 1.00

00:23:11.000 But as my optimism grows for the House, I am bearish on the Senate.

00:23:16.000 I feel as if there is an attitude that we don't care, that from John Thune and from all the Mitch McConnell, and I'm not going to expect you to say anything about that.

00:23:28.000 These are my own personal editorializing of their own view of things, but part of it is going to have to be introducing new energy into the Senate, saying business usual is over.

00:23:37.000 Why is it that, I mean, the U.S. Senate, Mitch McConnell had the power to say, listen, okay, you want to send border security to Lebanon.

00:23:46.000 You want to go send border security to Syria.

00:23:48.000 You want to go send money.

00:23:49.000 I don't know if Syria's on the list, but Lebanon, I think it was Pakistan.

00:23:53.000 It was Oman and some other obscure Middle Eastern country.

00:23:58.000 And more money to Ukraine.

00:24:00.000 And he could have said, okay, I'll do all that, but we need $10 billion for the border immediately.

00:24:04.000 And then Mitch McConnell tells us we got everything we wanted.

00:24:08.000 Yeah, this is why I voted against the big Ukraine supplemental spending bill when it came to the House.

00:24:14.000 We can't lead around the world when we're so weak at home.

00:24:17.000 We have to solve our problems at home to make America strong again before we can play the role around the world that America has historically done.

00:24:26.000 This is what President Reagan meant by peace through strength.

00:24:29.000 He meant not just a strong military, but a strong America.

00:24:32.000 And with Joe Biden and the radical Democrats controlling this country and some spineless Republicans going along with it, America is as weak at this point as it has ever been in my lifetime.

00:24:44.000 That, Charlie, is why I'm running for the United States Senate.

00:24:47.000 I'm going there to be a conservative fighter, to shake it up.

00:24:50.000 I need your help.

00:24:51.000 Go to banksforsenate.com today.

00:24:52.000 Help me out.

00:24:53.000 I won't back down.

00:24:54.000 I'll never back down from a fight.

00:24:56.000 I didn't back down from Nancy Pelosi when she kicked me off of this, the fake sham January 6th committee.

00:25:02.000 I'm not going to back down from the establishment or anybody that's trying to block me from going to the Senate to do what needs to be done to restore America.

00:25:09.000 So part of the U.S. Senate is personnel.

00:25:12.000 I pray and I hope that we're able to flip the Senate.

00:25:14.000 If we can get rid of McConnell, that will definitely be easier.

00:25:17.000 But let's pretend we get that White House as well.

00:25:20.000 And Supreme Court Justice of personnel.

00:25:22.000 Just for some of our listeners, you know, just build out some of your conservative credentials on the Second Amendment, on life.

00:25:28.000 These are issues that, as senators, they actually tend to appear to the surface even more than in the House.

00:25:34.000 Yeah, I think this is so important.

00:25:36.000 I'm a social and cultural conservative as much as I'm an economic conservative.

00:25:41.000 And I believe that the fight to protect our American way of life, which is a cultural fight, is the fight of our time.

00:25:49.000 And that's why putting judges on the bench at the federal level who understand that, who protect our constitutional rights, our Second Amendment, our First Amendment, protect the right to life.

00:26:02.000 Those are all issues that I'm passionate about.

00:26:04.000 And I can't wait to be a part of that fight in the United States Senate to go back to the Trump era, where those were the types of judges that we got on the bench.

00:26:13.000 So I'm not going to go along to get along with Democrats or, God forbid, another Democrat president who would appoint justices to the Supreme Court.

00:26:24.000 I'm not going to go along and vote for judges at any level to confirm them if they don't live up to the constitutional principles that we agree with.

00:26:34.000 Yeah, that's so important.

00:26:36.000 And the Senate.

00:26:39.000 I never get it.

00:26:40.000 These Republicans that will vote for a Supreme Court justice or to put a judge on the bench who doesn't reflect our values, I'll never understand why they're there voting to go along with that agenda.

00:26:52.000 I've never gotten it.

00:26:53.000 I don't get it.

00:26:54.000 And that's not the type of senator that I'm going to be.

00:26:56.000 Yeah.

00:26:56.000 And that's happened.

00:26:57.000 It always happens on one side, right?

00:26:59.000 So it's Republicans that are voting for Katangi Brown Jackson, like Willard Mitt Romney.

00:27:05.000 And did Graham vote for Katanji?

00:27:08.000 I can't remember. 0.98

00:27:09.000 But there were Republicans that voted for Katangi Brown Jackson, and she can't tell us what a woman is. 1.00

00:27:15.000 In fact, she scoffs and laughs at the question. 1.00

00:27:18.000 And so, but then Democrats, they hold the line.

00:27:21.000 They don't break.

00:27:23.000 And, you know, some would say, well, you know, Joe Manchin voted for, I think he voted for Gorsuch or one of them, but they never had the deciding vote.

00:27:30.000 They only ever do that after they know Republicans are going to get it passed.

00:27:34.000 And then they might do a show vote.

00:27:35.000 It might have been Mansion voting for Kavanaugh.

00:27:37.000 It was one of those that broke rank.

00:27:39.000 Certainly wasn't for Amy Coney Barrett.

00:27:41.000 And so it seems as if there's always uniformity in the caucus.

00:27:45.000 And so finally, just talked about the great state of Indiana.

00:27:48.000 I love Indiana.

00:27:49.000 Wonderful people.

00:27:50.000 And Indiana is one of those states that is robustly conservative, but certainly has some liberal influences throughout.

00:27:58.000 Walk us through Indiana values, fighting for those in D.C.

00:28:02.000 Yeah, Charlie, Indiana is a great state, very conservative.

00:28:06.000 Who's your values or conservative pro-family values?

00:28:10.000 And I've reflected those values in my fight in the House.

00:28:14.000 I'm going to do the same in the United States Senate.

00:28:16.000 As I said, I grew up in a small town, son of a factory worker, a nursing home cook, grew up in a trailer park.

00:28:22.000 And look where I am today because of the values, the hard work of my parents who wanted to pursue the American dream to them, which was to give me a better opportunity than what they had.

00:28:33.000 That's Indiana.

00:28:34.000 That's America.

00:28:36.000 That's worth fighting for. 0.94

00:28:37.000 And we need more conservative fighters in the Senate who are going to fight for that.

00:28:40.000 So please, please, please go to forsenate.com, donate, volunteer, help me out.

00:28:46.000 So let me map this out.

00:28:48.000 And it's very simple.

00:28:50.000 You're first in the race.

00:28:51.000 You're a true conservative.

00:28:52.000 My guess is that the more establishment forces are going to try to draft a moneyed candidate to try to go up against you.

00:28:59.000 But the earlier you can consolidate support, you could raise money, the harder that will be and the further ahead you can get so that you could be a true conservative like Josh Hawley and like JD Vance in the U.S. Senate.

00:29:11.000 Congressman Jim Banks, thanks so much.

00:29:13.000 Good luck.

00:29:13.000 We're behind you.

00:29:17.000 Someone says here, Charlie, yes, of course, John Kerry, Klaus Schwab, and others think they are doing good.

00:29:22.000 God made us to do good to act rightly.

00:29:24.000 When we decide to do something evil, we have to use mental gymnastics to make it seem good to ourselves.

00:29:29.000 So they truly believe they're saving the planet by grabbing more power for themselves.

00:29:32.000 That is exactly right, John.

00:29:33.000 That is my point.

00:29:35.000 Someone says here, Charlie, don't agree.

00:29:37.000 The elite and the Adabos think they're doing good. 0.78

00:29:39.000 They know they're doing evil.

00:29:42.000 Yeah, I just, no, that's not right.

00:29:45.000 They don't brag publicly or privately at their champagne parties like, yes, look at how evil we are and look at how we are doing things that are against our morality.

00:29:55.000 It's not true.

00:29:56.000 They think they're doing good.

00:29:57.000 That is the question of what is actually good.

00:29:59.000 It's a very important point.

00:30:01.000 You know why it's important?

00:30:02.000 It means intentions mean nothing.

00:30:06.000 It's also, in my personal opinion, very flawed and troubling to say that John Kerry is gleefully being evil.

00:30:14.000 Why?

00:30:15.000 It's because it's just not statistically possible to have that many people that are sociopathic working together.

00:30:25.000 It's just so against sociopathic borderline tendencies.

00:30:29.000 What's more likely is a bunch of very weak people that are doing evil things that think they have good intentions and they do stuff that is so unspeakably awful.

00:30:40.000 Okay, and Yuri Bezmanov, remember, who was a Soviet defector, said that this is exactly the strategy that the Marxists use. 0.99

00:30:48.000 They find useful idiots who think they are doing good when in reality they are vessels for treachery and for deceit and evil. 1.00

00:30:56.000 John Kerry is a useful idiot who thinks he's here to save the planet when in reality he's here to do something far more sinister. 1.00

00:31:04.000 Play cut 50 of Yuri Bezmanov. 1.00

00:31:06.000 Simply because you see the useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet socialists or communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. 0.99

00:31:19.000 That's why my KGB instructors specifically made the point, never bother with leftists. 1.00

00:31:25.000 Forget about these political prostitutes. 0.99

00:31:27.000 Aim higher. 1.00

00:31:29.000 This was my instruction.

00:31:30.000 Try to get into Large circulation, established, conservative media, rich, filthy-reach movie makers, intellectuals, so-called academic circles, cynical, egocentric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie.

00:31:49.000 These are the most recruitable people, people who lack moral principles, who are either too greedy or too suffer from self-importance.

00:31:58.000 They feel that they matter a lot.

00:32:02.000 These are the people who KGB wanted very much to recruit.

00:32:06.000 And they did.

00:32:07.000 They recruited people like John Kerry.

00:32:08.000 Someone says, Charlie, how can you not see that John Kerry is evil?

00:32:11.000 For the fourth time, I do believe he is evil.

00:32:14.000 I've said that.

00:32:15.000 I think what he is doing is evil.

00:32:17.000 However, I think he has personally convinced himself that he's doing good.

00:32:20.000 Why does it matter?

00:32:22.000 You might say, Charlie, it means absolutely nothing.

00:32:23.000 No, no, it's super important because we've designed so much of our judgments of people based on intentions.

00:32:30.000 And what I am submitting to you, what I am contesting, is that I don't care if John Kerry thinks he is doing good.

00:32:40.000 And you shouldn't care either.

00:32:42.000 You should care about what is he doing.

00:32:44.000 Is he doing something that is good?

00:32:46.000 And no.

00:32:47.000 And you should use that framework to judge leaders in public office.

00:32:53.000 It does not matter if they mean well.

00:32:56.000 And I don't even think John Kerry necessarily means well, but he's convinced himself that he's a good person.

00:33:01.000 Why is that so dangerous?

00:33:04.000 Because that could catch on to other people.

00:33:06.000 That's why.

00:33:08.000 Because the person who is sneering in the corner saying, I want to torture puppies or whatever, not exactly easy to catch on as a movement.

00:33:18.000 But no, no, no, no.

00:33:20.000 The person who is willing to say, I'm here to save the planet.

00:33:25.000 Let's go do some good.

00:33:26.000 Whoa.

00:33:28.000 You could do a lot of bad stuff that way.

00:33:31.000 So let me be very clear.

00:33:32.000 I think what he is doing is evil.

00:33:35.000 Someone says, Charlie, you are so naive.

00:33:36.000 Of course, John Kerry knows what he is doing.

00:33:38.000 He's intentionally evil. 0.98

00:33:39.000 They are a satanic cult.

00:33:41.000 They're doing this for Lucifer.

00:33:43.000 It's actually, the Bible doesn't say that, actually.

00:33:46.000 The Bible says even those people under the influence of Lucifer think they're doing good, very few of them intentionally know what they're doing is evil.

00:33:57.000 Very few.

00:33:58.000 That's a very rare psychological category.

00:34:05.000 Someone says, Charlie, you cite Aristotle, but you say something unsubstantiated.

00:34:09.000 For example, when you say environmentalism means totalitarianism, that is not true.

00:34:14.000 Well, it is true.

00:34:15.000 Environmentalism is a bridge, is a transitory phase to be able to erode private property, destroy any sort of incumbent natural gas advantage that the West has to get us towards a despotic, technological-centered, dystopian future.

00:34:28.000 Besides that, everything's wonderful.

00:34:30.000 A lot of people think that they're doing good.

00:34:31.000 Are you actually doing good?

00:34:35.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
