00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today's Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000 Our response to Biden's dark and fascistic speech at Independence Hall.
00:00:08.000 They chose Independence Hall for a reason, almost as if they conquered one of our sacred images as a society.
00:00:14.000 It's a very communist Marxist tactic to take over what is sacred and act as if it's theirs.

00:01:23.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:25.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:27.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:30.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:34.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:35.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:36.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:43.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:44.000 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.
00:01:53.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:56.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:02:04.000 I've watched a lot of speeches in my short decade career of doing this.
00:02:09.000 And I love history, and Hillsdale College does a wonderful job of educating the world on history.
00:02:16.000 And so I've seen a fair amount of speeches.
00:02:18.000 And so I watched the speech from the very beginning.
00:02:21.000 And I had to pause it.
00:02:23.000 I said, what the heck is going on?
00:02:24.000 First of all, he chooses to give this speech at Independence Hall.
00:02:30.000 A place where our freedom was articulated into words.
00:02:33.000 When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bans that have tied them to another, deriving from the equal stations of power.
00:02:43.000 Screwing up the words as I go further on, but it eventually says, deriving from the powers of the laws of nature and nature is God.
00:02:49.000 And this beautiful Independence Hall was desecrated.
00:02:53.000 So Joe Biden walks center stage with Jill Biden.
00:02:57.000 And the moment that Joe Biden walks on stage, the entire imagery turns red with red lights going upwards.
00:03:08.000 And two Marines come out and flank him.
00:03:12.000 And these red lights are there all throughout the speech.
00:03:14.000 And then Joe Biden walks all the way out to center stage.
00:03:19.000 And the imagery looked like something out of the 1930s.
00:03:23.000 And I don't say this lightly.
00:03:25.000 And I can't stand when everyone compares everything to Nazi Germany.
00:03:30.000 I think that is overdone.
00:03:32.000 I think that it is just kind of a lazy and sloppy throwaway line.
00:03:37.000 In fact, we have a rule here on the Charlie Kirk show, which is not to compare everything to Hitler.
00:03:43.000 But I'll be very honest, it was very Hitlerian. 0.92
00:03:47.000 There is no other explanation than this.
00:03:50.000 The red lights coming up.
00:03:52.000 And so then Joe Biden comes center stage, clumsily to the podium, flanked by two Marines.
00:04:00.000 No mistake for that, by the way.
00:04:02.000 That was completely and totally designed as if I run the military, listen to what I'm saying.
00:04:09.000 We're going to use the full force of the federal government against you.
00:04:12.000 We are going to crush our enemies.
00:04:15.000 And as I was re-watching the speech and I was listening to the word selection, I was listening to what the theme of a prime time address in front of our Independence Hall, Independence Hall that is not Republican, it is not Democrat, Independence Hall that is the birthplace of our freedom as a country, the desecration by Joe Biden to do this.
00:04:37.000 Go center stage.
00:04:39.000 And the best way I can articulate this, and I do not use these words lightly, I do not say this jokingly, and I do not say this happily.
00:04:50.000 It was a domestic call for the suppression of political opponents.
00:04:56.000 It was almost like a declaration of war against half the country.
00:05:01.000 I don't find joy in saying that.
00:05:03.000 In fact, I spent an hour this morning workshopping the words.
00:05:09.000 I said, was it anything else meant?
00:05:10.000 Is there any other way to explain what Joe Biden did here?
00:05:13.000 Why did I hesitate to say that on air?
00:05:15.000 Because when your president declares war on half the country, there's just no going back from that.
00:05:22.000 And I said this in the open.
00:05:23.000 I'm going to say it again.
00:05:24.000 Part of the speech was designed to provoke you into a reaction.
00:05:29.000 It was a baiting speech.
00:05:30.000 Do not fall for it.
00:05:31.000 Stay peaceful.
00:05:33.000 Stay happy.
00:05:34.000 Stay joyful.
00:05:35.000 You could be angry, but do not let anger control you.
00:05:39.000 What Joe Biden did last evening as he went center stage, flanked by Marines, red lights up, was a call for a one-party state.
00:05:50.000 We're going to articulate what it means when they keep on saying democracy, democracy, democracy.
00:05:56.000 They do not care about democracy.
00:05:58.000 They care about Democrats staying in power.
00:06:02.000 With the red lights coming up, Joe Biden decides to go on this speech that was supposed to be uplifting and about representative government.
00:06:12.000 In Joe Biden's speech, China was mentioned zero times.
00:06:20.000 Crime was mentioned zero times.
00:06:24.000 Inflation was mentioned zero times.
00:06:28.000 Fentanyl was mentioned zero times.
00:06:32.000 The southern border was mentioned zero times.
00:06:36.000 Charlottesville got a singular mention.
00:06:38.000 January 6th got two mentions.
00:06:40.000 Insurrection got three mentions.
00:06:44.000 Donald Trump got three mentions.
00:06:46.000 Extremism got seven mentions.
00:06:48.000 Violence got 10 mentions.
00:06:50.000 MAGA, 13 mentions.
00:06:53.000 And Republicans, 16 mentions.
00:06:57.000 Joe Biden play cut 85 last evening.
00:07:00.000 Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism.
00:07:04.000 MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.
00:07:08.000 MAGA Republicans.
00:07:09.000 By Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans who reject the extreme MAGA ideology.
00:07:14.000 MAGA Republicans have made their choice. 0.73
00:07:16.000 MAGA Republicans.
00:07:17.000 MAGA Republicans.
00:07:19.000 The MAGA Republicans believe Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans.
00:07:23.000 MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards. 0.93
00:07:27.000 MAGA, MAGA, MAGA.
00:07:28.000 It's very clear what happened.
00:07:30.000 Some consultant, some messaging consultant has some sort of polling data that the term MAGA turns off independence and motivates the Democrat base.
00:07:39.000 They can't stop mentioning it.
00:07:42.000 Biden's been using the term ultra-mAGA after six months of research.
00:07:47.000 It's been workshopped and he's implementing it intentionally.
00:07:50.000 You know what he's trying to do?
00:07:52.000 They're trying to put the sights on you.
00:07:55.000 The grassroots, the workers, the people that show up at school board meetings, the Parents' Party.
00:07:59.000 They know that's the energy of the Republican Party.
00:08:02.000 In fact, Karine Jean-Pierre said that.
00:08:05.000 She said, Well, this is the energy of the Republican Party.
00:08:08.000 You better believe it's the energy of the Republican Party.
00:08:10.000 We're changing school districts, city councils.
00:08:12.000 We're registering voters.
00:08:13.000 We're taking over precincts.
00:08:15.000 This is why they have to call you semi-fascists. 0.97
00:08:19.000 What you saw last night was an authoritarian, craven, weak, desperate old man who clumsily stumbled into an unprecedented speech for an American president. 0.74
00:08:35.000 To use a prime time address funded by U.S. taxpayers, again, funded by U.S. taxpayers. 0.91
00:08:40.000 This is not a DNC speech.
00:08:42.000 This is not a rally.
00:08:43.000 He was flanked by two Marines.
00:08:44.000 And what a desecration of the United States military for all of you that served our beautiful country in the military.
00:08:50.000 He used the military to declare war on half the country at a sacred place as Independence Hall, the place where our freedom was articulated into words.
00:09:00.000 MAGA was mentioned 13 times in this speech last night.
00:09:04.000 Republican, 16 times, and then democracy 31 times.
00:09:09.000 86, the montage on democracy.
00:09:12.000 Play cut 86.
00:09:14.000 Loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to democracy.
00:09:21.000 Equality and democracy.
00:09:23.000 While the threat to American democracy is real in democracy, in this ongoing attack on democracy, to stop the assault on American democracy.
00:09:32.000 We've told ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed of defending our democracy regardless of democracy, democracy.
00:09:40.000 Our democracy, we must be stronger, more determined, and more committed to saving American democracy than MAGA Republicans are to destroying American democracy.
00:09:50.000 But democracy endures and that democracy, democracy must be defended, for democracy makes all these things possible.
00:09:59.000 We are still at our core a democracy.
00:10:02.000 And may God protect our nation and may God protect all those who stand watch over our democracy. 0.61
00:10:08.000 God bless you all.
00:10:10.000 Democracy.
00:10:11.000 Thank you.
00:10:12.000 Democracy.
00:10:14.000 What do they mean when they say democracy?
00:10:16.000 They don't mean representative government.
00:10:18.000 They don't mean consent of the governed.
00:10:20.000 No, they mean Democrats in control, obeying their commands.
00:10:26.000 The MAGA movement is the most democratic movement happening in America.
00:10:30.000 No funding, candidates coming out of everywhere, every direction, normal, everyday people, from welders to plumbers to electricians.
00:10:39.000 If anything was democratic, it would be the MAGA movement.
00:10:42.000 It's bottom-up.
00:10:43.000 It's not top-down.
00:10:44.000 It's not sponsored by Silicon Valley oligarchs or supported by trillion-dollar companies.
00:10:49.000 No, they're threatened by what the consent of the governed and a representative project actually is.
00:10:57.000 And they went to a completely different length yesterday.
00:11:00.000 And this only goes to show the crossing of the Rubicon that happened at Mar-a-Lago is only continuing.
00:11:04.000 They have now tripled and quadrupled down on that.
00:11:10.000 Look, let me tell you, the worldwide food crisis is making headlines again.
00:11:13.000 Just recently, Business Insider said we're in a global food crisis that will wreak havoc on local economies and possibly trigger civil unrest.
00:11:22.000 They also said food shortages have led to civil unrest in the past with deadly consequences.
00:11:27.000 Remember, you are nine meals away from anarchy.
00:11:30.000 That's right, nine meals away from anarchy.

00:12:18.000 Let me read something for you here.
00:12:21.000 An offensive against the insurrectionists is a serious matter.
00:12:25.000 It should not be confused with the declamations against the insurrectionists, nor should it be confused with a policy of pinpricks against the MAGA Republicans, which the opposition did its utmost to impose upon the party.
00:12:39.000 To launch an offensive against the insurrectionists means that we must smash the MAGA Republicans and eliminate them as a class.
00:12:47.000 Unless we see ourselves these aims, an offensive would be a declamation, pinpricks, phrase-mongering, anything but a pro-democracy offensive.
00:12:59.000 To launch an offensive against the insurrectionists means that we must prepare for it and then strike it as the MA folks strike so hard as to prevent them from rising to their feet again.
00:13:11.000 This is what we as Democrats call a real offensive.
00:13:14.000 Could we have undertaken such an offensive five years ago or three years ago without any prospect of success?
00:13:20.000 No, we could not.
00:13:22.000 Now, I know that might sound like I was reading from the speech last evening, but that was actually a speech given by Joseph Stalin in 1929.
00:13:31.000 I just replaced the word kulak with insurrectionist and Bolshevik with Democrat.
00:13:38.000 Let me read again from Joseph Stalin's speech here.
00:13:42.000 This is what we, Bolsheviks or Democrats, call a real offensive.
00:13:46.000 Could we have undertaken such an offensive some five years ago or three years ago with any prospect of success?
00:13:52.000 No, we could not.
00:13:56.000 Last night was designed as a last-ditch effort to try to provoke you to do something violent, to do something uncharacteristic, desecrating Independence Hall for that exact purpose.
00:14:11.000 Joe Biden comes out and he doesn't mention inflation or crime or China or the border.
00:14:16.000 They're trying to find their next excuse to crack down on dissent.
00:14:21.000 He talks about, well, political violence won't be tolerated, never mentioning the terroristic activity of BLM, never mentioning the terroristic activity of Antifa.
00:14:33.000 Joe Biden, being directed by Washington, D.C., K-Street lobbyists and consultants believe that if they frame the entire Republican Party as ultra-maga, that they'll be able to get the power that they need to suppress you and crack down.
00:14:50.000 This is chilling stuff, everybody.
00:14:53.000 Who was the intended audience of this speech?
00:14:55.000 It wasn't you.
00:14:58.000 Part of it was just to try to make you angry and frustrate you.
00:15:01.000 But the other intent, the other group, was the security state.
00:15:07.000 This speech was designed for the FBI, for DHS.
00:15:12.000 This speech was a rallying speech flanked by two Marines in front of your Independence Hall in downtown Philadelphia, the birthplace of freedom, was to try to give a word of encouragement to all the government agents that might be working to subvert, infiltrate political groups.
00:15:32.000 The speech was tailored and designed for the United States security state.
00:15:38.000 Joe Biden does not want what he says is a democracy.
00:15:41.000 He wants a one-party state.
00:15:45.000 You see, Joe Biden and his group of advisors and people that are really calling the shots, they're sensing a cracking of the Washington, D.C. Uniparty.
00:15:57.000 And I refuse to be lectured about political violence by the head of a party that watched America burn in the summer of 2020 while domestic violent extremist terrorists burned down city after city, night after night, and they called it peaceful protesting.
00:16:15.000 Who killed?
00:16:16.000 Who actually was the one that murdered on January 6th?
00:16:20.000 That was the government who murdered Ashley Babbitt.
00:16:23.000 Remember, this was a show of force that the executive branch might be used against you.
00:16:31.000 This was not a political speech.
00:16:34.000 This speech was the full force of the government saying that if you have a MAGA hat in your closet, if you've given $25 award for Trump, you're an enemy of the state.
00:16:46.000 The CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice, DHS, NSA are all pointed at you, the American people.
00:16:54.000 Their big bet, and they're doubling down, and they're tripling down and they're quadrupling down.
00:17:00.000 Their big bet is that you will give up.
00:17:04.000 They're trying to force your surrender.
00:17:08.000 The military members in the background, the red lighting, it's not a mistake.
00:17:12.000 They're trying to intimidate you.
00:17:13.000 They want you to go to sleep afraid that you'll be audited by Joe Biden's new 87,000 IRS agents, thanks to Raphael Warnock, Kirsten Sinema, and Mark Kelly.
00:17:25.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:17:27.000 Producer Andrews right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
00:17:30.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
00:17:32.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:17:37.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
00:17:42.000 They are on a mission.
00:17:43.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:17:45.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:17:51.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:17:52.000 So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.

00:18:21.000 I'm going to have to get into something here that many of you don't want to hear, but I actually think it's a piece of truth and honesty that is going to be empowering and refreshing.
00:18:32.000 When I give this speech, I give a version of this speech sometimes to audiences, and it's incredibly applicable right now.
00:18:40.000 Sometimes it's met with mixed reaction, which is, if you're serious about saving America, we must think of ourselves as dissidents in our own country.
00:18:51.000 And you cannot be a passive dissident.
00:18:53.000 You must be an active dissident.
00:18:56.000 It's going to require a shift of our mindset.
00:19:00.000 Now, why is this an uncomfortable truth for some people?
00:19:04.000 Someone watching right now is probably a Vietnam veteran who served his country beautifully, raised a wonderful family, goes to church, paid taxes, did everything the right way.
00:19:14.000 And it should make you angry that now you have to hear from someone like me, like, hey, you're no longer in control of your own country.
00:19:24.000 I get it.
00:19:24.000 That makes me angry as well.
00:19:27.000 But I'm simply the messenger here.
00:19:28.000 I'm not celebrating it.
00:19:31.000 I'm not saying it's something that we should be thrilled about, but it's true.
00:19:37.000 They control the FBI.
00:19:39.000 They control the Department of Justice.
00:19:41.000 They control the CIA.
00:19:42.000 They control the inner workings of the Department of Education.
00:19:45.000 They control Facebook.
00:19:46.000 They control Google.
00:19:47.000 They control Goldman Sachs.
00:19:49.000 They control the major corporations.
00:19:51.000 They don't control the people.
00:19:53.000 That is true.
00:19:55.000 But they want a country where the few rule the many, which is the exact opposite of what Joe Biden is presenting as democracy.
00:20:03.000 And again, we are not a democracy.
00:20:07.000 This is why word selection and language and diction is so important.
00:20:12.000 And this program, we're very precise.
00:20:14.000 Whenever I hear conservatives say democracy, democracy, it's like, oh, you don't know what a democracy is.
00:20:19.000 We are a representative republic.
00:20:21.000 We do have some democratic means of getting our leaders into power, of transitioning the sovereign from the people to a politician.
00:20:31.000 That is true.
00:20:32.000 But we are not a direct democracy at all.
00:20:35.000 A democracy means you can vote someone's rights away.
00:20:38.000 A republic is built on wisdom and things that are always true.
00:20:43.000 A republic has a preference on separation of powers, consent of the governed, independent judiciary.
00:20:50.000 A republic is meant to preserve natural rights.
00:20:54.000 A democracy is meant over time to give people stuff and to move quickly and to suppress rights.
00:21:03.000 Some people say, well, Charlie, you're anti-democracy.
00:21:06.000 What they're trying to say is that I'm anti-representative government.
00:21:09.000 That is not true.
00:21:11.000 But do I have legitimate complaints with what direct democracy means?
00:21:15.000 Of course I do.
00:21:17.000 Because tyrants will always use the two Fs as a way to try and make themselves more powerful.
00:21:24.000 In the last week, you saw Joe Biden use both of the Fs to try and make himself more powerful.
00:21:33.000 A week ago, Joe Biden announced free stuff.
00:21:36.000 That's the first F, a student loan bribe for younger voters.
00:21:41.000 And thank you to the wonderful watchers and viewers, I should say, and listeners.
00:21:45.000 Someone emailed us, Charlie, it's a bribe.
00:21:47.000 It's perfect.
00:21:47.000 It's not student loan forgiveness.
00:21:49.000 It's a bribe.
00:21:50.000 Free stuff?
00:21:52.000 I'm going to take away your debts if you support me.
00:21:56.000 I'm going to control you.
00:21:58.000 So we're going to get a bunch of young people into debt to go to college to unnecessarily get a piece of paper.
00:22:03.000 And then I'll be able to control you by promising or bribing you on the back end.
00:22:07.000 Number one is free stuff.
00:22:09.000 And the second way, the second F of how tyrants hold on to power and authoritarian dictators are able to control you is through fear.
00:22:19.000 Just look at the imagery last evening.
00:22:22.000 Was this an optimistic forward thinking?
00:22:26.000 Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.
00:22:32.000 Is this a speech that inspires us to greatness?
00:22:34.000 Is this a Donald Trump Mount Rushmore speech?
00:22:36.000 Of course not.
00:22:38.000 And again, I am, I'm not rejoicing in this.
00:22:42.000 In fact, I hate continuing with what I'm about to say because I think it's done so over the top.
00:22:51.000 But the speech was Hitlerian in every sense of it. 0.71
00:22:56.000 And to turn Independence Hall, which is this beacon of freedom around the world, it represents for me a time where representative government was born against the tyranny of King George.
00:23:08.000 I know it represents that for you as well and for all decent and everyday Americans.
00:23:13.000 Then the moment Joe Biden walks in flanked by two Marines, which is basically, don't mess with us.
00:23:19.000 We control the military.
00:23:20.000 That's what they're trying to tell you.
00:23:21.000 Flanked with red lights all the way up, as if this is the triumph of the will speech.
00:23:28.000 We deserve so much better than this, everybody.
00:23:31.000 You could have all sorts of mixed opinions about the 2020 election.
00:23:34.000 I certainly believe it was a highway robbery. 0.53
00:23:37.000 But the speech itself is an illegitimate, invalidating speech for any president of the United States.
00:23:44.000 So, what does that mean for us?
00:23:45.000 Many of you are emailing us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:23:48.000 What do I do?
00:23:49.000 What do I do?
00:23:51.000 You cannot solve something you do not know.
00:23:55.000 It's an old proverb.
00:23:57.000 What do you do?
00:23:58.000 The first thing that must be done, and this is something we talk about a fair amount on this program, is we must have a collective mindset shift.
00:24:08.000 You are a dissident in your own country.
00:24:14.000 I'm going to get some emails right now, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:24:17.000 Charlie, I refuse to be a dissident.
00:24:18.000 I'm a veteran.
00:24:19.000 I'm a police officer.
00:24:21.000 And man, do I sympathize with that sentiment.
00:24:23.000 I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
00:24:25.000 You no longer control the country.
00:24:28.000 Now, you might say, well, Charlie, we might not control the government, but we control the country.
00:24:32.000 They control every cultural, main, cultural institution.
00:24:35.000 They're trying to take over the church.
00:24:36.000 They take over the intelligence agencies, but that doesn't mean we're defeated.
00:24:40.000 In fact, it's good news.
00:24:42.000 It should be liberating to say that we are dissidents in our own country.
00:24:48.000 It should be exhilarating.
00:24:50.000 We could defeat these people.
00:24:51.000 They're worried that their regime is cracking.
00:24:56.000 The speech last evening by Joe Biden is not a speech given from confidence.
00:25:03.000 It's a speech given from paranoia.
00:25:07.000 They've been running the same play post-January 6th, call half the country fascists, call half the country insurrectionists, the same way that Joseph Stalin did in the 1929 speech about Kulaks.
00:25:17.000 Run the same play, and we only get stronger.
00:25:19.000 And now it's getting real.
00:25:21.000 This is exactly why they had to have the 87,000 new IRS agents, because these threats against the widespread of the country, you might think to yourself, you might be a farmer in Indiana, or you might be a small business owner in Missouri, or you might be a teacher in the beautiful state of Kansas.
00:25:39.000 And you might say, okay, yeah, they can call me domestic terrorists.
00:25:41.000 What are they going to do to me?
00:25:42.000 But the 87,000 new IRS agents is trying to make it personal.
00:25:45.000 And guess what?
00:25:46.000 It's going to get personal.
00:25:49.000 You think we're going to take the country back without every single one of us losing something?
00:25:54.000 Impossible.
00:25:55.000 The country will not be taken back without sacrifice.
00:25:58.000 You might have to be audited by some degenerate bureaucrat from the IRS and fight them tooth and nail.
00:26:06.000 You might lose friendships.
00:26:07.000 You might be doxxed.
00:26:10.000 This is all part of what it's going to take to reclaim our republic, but it requires a mindset shift, one that makes people deeply uncomfortable at times.
00:26:21.000 Because at times, we as conservatives, and I speak at a lot of different events, and I totally understand this because you get angry.
00:26:26.000 You say, Charlie, I've done everything.
00:26:29.000 I was a police officer.
00:26:30.000 I was a firefighter.
00:26:31.000 I paid my taxes.
00:26:33.000 I voted Republican.
00:26:34.000 I raised my kids.
00:26:35.000 I went to church.
00:26:36.000 I prayed with them.
00:26:37.000 I raised good human beings.
00:26:39.000 And now you're telling me I have to be a dissident in my own country?
00:26:42.000 Yes.
00:26:43.000 That's right.
00:26:45.000 What does that even mean to be a dissident in one's own country?
00:26:48.000 Recognize you're in the minority, not of the people. 0.98
00:26:51.000 There's more of us, but they control all the power centers.
00:26:54.000 And we have to destabilize those power centers, take them over peacefully, strategically.
00:27:00.000 We have to delegitimize these leaders.
00:27:03.000 And we have to be relentless.
00:27:05.000 This is not a time for the faint of heart.
00:27:09.000 This is going to be a long fight.
00:27:11.000 We can make big gains in November over a period of time.
00:27:16.000 We have the founding fathers on our side, by the way.
00:27:18.000 We have the framers of this country.
00:27:20.000 Joe Biden, almost in an imperial, this is what I felt.
00:27:23.000 This is another piece of takeaway that I wrote down as I was reflecting on this.
00:27:27.000 You know what it felt like, Joe Biden doing that?
00:27:30.000 It felt like the Ottomans took over Rome and they desecrated a landmark that was not their own. 0.92
00:27:39.000 It felt like the National Socialist Workers' Party that took over Paris.
00:27:44.000 That's what last night felt like.
00:27:47.000 It felt like the sack of Rome of someone that obviously had nothing to do with the landmark of which they spoke in front of completely and totally desecrated, desecrates.
00:27:59.000 It's like the sack of Rome when they let cattle into the Sistine Chapel or horses into St. Peter's Cathedral.
00:28:06.000 And that's how they describe January 6th.
00:28:08.000 But in reality, that's what last night was.
00:28:11.000 It was Joe Biden with no connection philosophically or morally to Independence Hall, flanked by Marines and red lights all the way up, staring into the camera, saying not China, Xi Jinping, the southern border, fentanyl, human sex trafficking is the big threat in our country, gang violence or racial division.
00:28:31.000 No, no.
00:28:32.000 But the thing I'm going to spend my prime time address focused on is the 62-year-old police officer in Athens, Ohio, who might own a MAGA hat.
00:28:47.000 And here's the interesting thing, which is a take no one has said.
00:28:52.000 Joe Biden is right.
00:28:54.000 Joe Biden's right.
00:28:56.000 Joe Biden has successfully identified the greatest threat to the regime.
00:29:01.000 They're so afraid of us, they're saying it out loud.
00:29:04.000 The greatest threat to the Democrat Party regime is not Liz Cheney. 1.00
00:29:07.000 It's not Mitt Romney.
00:29:08.000 It's you.
00:29:10.000 And they're terrified.
00:29:12.000 From a place of shaking paranoia.
00:29:15.000 When Joe Biden boarded Air Force One, I'm sure he was surrounded by his advisors.
00:29:21.000 How do you think I did?
00:29:22.000 Great.
00:29:22.000 You declared war on the opposition.
00:29:25.000 But deep down, they know that our ranks are increasing.
00:29:28.000 Latinos are defecting from the Democrat Party.
00:29:29.000 Young people are defecting from the Democrat Party.
00:29:32.000 We're running better candidates.
00:29:33.000 We are anti-fragile.
00:29:34.000 We're resilient.
00:29:35.000 We're overwhelming the system.
00:29:37.000 We're reforming our elections.
00:29:38.000 We're holding Republicans accountable.
00:29:39.000 Our arguments are getting better.
00:29:41.000 We're getting better at humor and mockery and wit.
00:29:44.000 They're becoming boring and uninteresting.
00:29:46.000 Rogan is telling people to vote Republican.
00:29:48.000 Aaron Rodgers, reigning MVP, talks about Covidian fascism.
00:29:51.000 At every turn, their regime is cracking, and all they have left is brute power and force to stare at you as if they're saying, our Reich will not fall.
00:30:05.000 We have news for you and your regime.
00:30:08.000 We know what's coming next.
00:30:11.000 And you want us to try to get violent and we won't.
00:30:14.000 You want us to try to get to something that can justify a greater security threat?
00:30:18.000 We're going to be self-disciplined.
00:30:20.000 We're going to be self-controlled, Lord willing.
00:30:22.000 We're not going to allow you to provoke us, infiltrate us.
00:30:26.000 I want your thoughts.
00:30:27.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:30:29.000 Being a dissident, how do you process that?
00:30:32.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:30:37.000 Keith says, Hi, Charlie.
00:30:38.000 I'm proud to be a dissident.
00:30:39.000 I wear that name as a badge of honor.
00:30:42.000 I agree. 0.99
00:30:43.000 We cannot do anything stupid right now. 0.97
00:30:44.000 They're trying to provoke a reaction, but we also must stay aware because he pretty much put a target on all of our backs. 0.97
00:30:50.000 That is well said, Keith.
00:30:51.000 You're right.
00:30:52.000 That being said, I concur.
00:30:53.000 It is not the time to do anything violent.
00:30:55.000 Never.
00:30:56.000 Stop it.
00:30:56.000 No violent.
00:30:57.000 But we can't live in a fallacy either.
00:31:00.000 He says, stay sharp, stay alert.
00:31:02.000 Got to stay active.
00:31:04.000 The operative action is a mindset shift.
00:31:09.000 Once you think of yourself as a dissident and study what being a dissident actually means, you're up against the regime.
00:31:16.000 Organize in private.
00:31:17.000 Increase your ranks.
00:31:19.000 There are the rules of the dissident.
00:31:21.000 To be a dissident, you must commit yourself to truth.
00:31:25.000 To be a dissident, you must be willing to be persecuted and understand that the regime is saying that they don't think this speech went far enough.
00:31:40.000 Andy McCabe, who should be in jail, who is one of the designers and architects of Crossfire Hurricane, said, look, I don't think this speech necessarily went far enough.
00:31:52.000 Play cut 91.
00:31:54.000 I think people would like to have seen a bit more references to accountability.
00:31:58.000 There really wasn't much talk about what we're doing about those insurrectionists.
00:32:02.000 It was merely calling out the fact that nobody should support an insurrection.
00:32:06.000 Yeah, it didn't go far enough as far as calling for accountability.
00:32:12.000 Now, when Joe Biden repeats democracy, democracy, democracy, democracy, most people have a very favorable view of the word democracy.
00:32:23.000 We are not a democracy, we represent a republic.
00:32:25.000 But what they think they're saying is a representative form of government, a form where the people are able to stay involved and stay engaged and have a voice.
00:32:36.000 What they're trying to say is consent of the governed.
00:32:39.000 Our movement is the most small D democratic movement happening in Western civilization right now.
00:32:44.000 Not their movement.
00:32:45.000 They can't fill up a broom closet with their supporters.
00:32:49.000 When we do events at Turning Point USA on campus, strictly educational, or we do events at Turning Point Action with Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump, we can't find rooms big enough to fit all the people that want to show up.
00:33:00.000 From school board meetings, the city council meetings, the amount of Turning Point USA chapters that are being started right now across the country, it blows our team away.
00:33:08.000 We can't start enough high school or college chapters.
00:33:10.000 That is grassroots.
00:33:11.000 That is a democracy, isn't it?
00:33:13.000 People that are emailing us, Charlie, I want to start a homeschool co-op.
00:33:15.000 Charlie, I want to start a high school chapter.
00:33:17.000 Charlie, I want to start a college chapter.
00:33:18.000 This is happening day by day by day.
00:33:21.000 And you know what?
00:33:21.000 We do not have the Silicon Valley oligarchs.
00:33:23.000 We don't have Wall Street.
00:33:25.000 We don't have the people coming down with billions of dollars like Lorraine Powell Jobs or George Soros. 1.00
00:33:32.000 It actually makes us stronger in the long run.
00:33:37.000 It makes our movement more likely to win.
00:33:41.000 We saw last evening Joe Biden say that MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.
00:33:49.000 Basically, Joe Biden says that MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.
00:33:55.000 When in reality, of course, it's the exact opposite.
00:33:58.000 Everything that we stand for is a restoration of the United States Constitution, of the promise that power must be separate. 0.85
00:34:09.000 The promise that you deserve to have your God-granted natural rights protected and preserved.
00:34:16.000 So what is the game plan?
00:34:18.000 The game plan is, okay, Joe Biden, your authoritarian, Hitlerian speech with the entire federal government and executive branch behind you.
00:34:29.000 Game on.
00:34:31.000 It's the regime versus the people.
00:34:34.000 We are dissidents, and we will outwork you.
00:34:37.000 We will out-create you.
00:34:38.000 We'll outmaneuver you.
00:34:41.000 You might put some of us in prison.
00:34:43.000 You might audit some of us and bankrupt some of us, but we'll recalibrate.
00:34:47.000 We'll regroup.
00:34:48.000 We'll reorganize.
00:34:49.000 We'll successfully retreat. 0.71
00:34:53.000 We'll mock you.
00:34:54.000 We'll win election after election.
00:34:56.000 We'll run better candidates.
00:34:57.000 We'll find more support.
00:34:59.000 We're a very big country with a lot of fight left in us.
00:35:02.000 We've only begun to fight.
00:35:05.000 And your intimidation, your clenched fist, fascist calls to action last evening only make us want to fight more.
00:35:18.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:35:19.000 Email me your thoughts.
00:35:20.000 As always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:35:22.000 Thanks so much for listening.
00:35:23.000 God bless.
