The Charlie Kirk Show - Kicking Off Democrats' Unconstitutional Impeachment Rd. 2

00:00:00.000 Everybody, impeachment arguments have started.

00:00:02.000 We dive into that and explain why this impeachment is unconstitutional and so much more.

00:00:06.000 If you want to support our program, please go to charliekirk.com/slash support.

00:00:11.000 And if you want to get involved at Turning Point USA, if you're a high school student or a college student, or maybe you're just a parent and you want to give back and you want to do something to help save our country, go to tpusa.com.

00:00:22.000 That's tpusa.com.

00:00:25.000 Impeachment is here.

00:00:26.000 We have the answers.

00:00:26.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:28.000 Here we go.

00:00:29.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:30.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:32.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:36.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:39.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:40.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:41.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:50.000 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.

00:00:58.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:02.000 We're all looking for ways to save money, right?

00:01:04.000 Especially now.

00:01:05.000 So let me ask you this.

00:01:06.000 How do you like to keep an extra $961 a year in your pocket?

00:01:11.000 That's how much Gabby customers save per year on average on car and home insurance.

00:01:16.000 That's why when I was shopping for insurance, I used Gabby, G-A-B-I.

00:01:20.000 This is the time of year we go shopping for insurance.

00:01:23.000 Well, Gabby, G-A-B-I, takes the pain out of shopping for insurance by giving you apples-to-apples comparison of your current coverage with 40 of the top insurance providers, like Progressive, Nationwide, and Travelers.

00:01:34.000 Just link your current insurance account, and in just minutes, you'll be able to see quotes for the exact same coverage you currently have.

00:01:40.000 That's what I did.

00:01:41.000 Gabby is amazing.

00:01:43.000 People that use it are just so excited.

00:01:45.000 G-A-B-I.

00:01:46.000 Like I mentioned earlier, Gabby customers save $961 per year on average.

00:01:51.000 I bet that'd be nice to have in your pocket every year.

00:01:54.000 If they can't find you savings like they did for me, they'll let you know so you can relax, knowing you have the best rate out there.

00:01:59.000 And they'll never sell your information.

00:02:01.000 So no annoying spam or robocalls.

00:02:03.000 You're probably already overpaying on car and home insurance. 1.00

00:02:05.000 See how Gabby can save you.

00:02:07.000 It's totally free to check and there's no obligation.

00:02:09.000 Go to gabby.com/slash Charlie.

00:02:11.000 That's gabi.com/slash Charlie.

00:02:14.000 Gabby.com/slash Charlie.

00:02:18.000 So a question I have is: how can you incite something that is pre-planned?

00:02:26.000 The entire argument that the House impeachment managers and the Senate are going to be making to the senators is that Donald Trump incited this was spontaneous, but the Washington Post's own words say that this looks less and less like a spontaneous mob, while there were elements of that, and more and more like a pre-planned attack.

00:02:50.000 In fact, Greg Jarrett has a phenomenal piece on foxnews.com this morning that shows that this planning went all the way back as far as November.

00:03:03.000 In fact, in the New York Times or even the Washington Post's own piece yesterday, they were trying to make the case against Donald Trump, and they showed a text message from one of the defendants who has been indicted where he said himself that he wanted to storm the Capitol the day after Christmas.

00:03:21.000 So unless Donald Trump was in touch with this guy after Christmas, then he had nothing to do with this.

00:03:28.000 Mark Meadows went on Fox News and said that Donald Trump repeatedly offered help at the Capitol and it was denied.

00:03:38.000 And I'm going to be very honest with you guys.

00:03:40.000 I cannot believe we're doing this again.

00:03:43.000 I can't believe we're going through this impeachment circus again.

00:03:48.000 This is Mark Meadows saying that help was offered, but it was not taken.

00:03:52.000 Play tape.

00:03:52.000 But we also know this.

00:03:54.000 Help was offered multiple times, not just in January, but throughout the summer with the D.C. mayor saying that the president stood by, willing to offer National Guard assistance, other assistance, and often, in fact, every time was rebuked and said, no, we can go it alone.

00:04:13.000 The president was very vocal in making sure that we had plenty of National Guard, plenty of additional support, because he supports the rule of law, he supports our law enforcement, and offered additional help.

00:04:24.000 Offered additional help.

00:04:27.000 Now, the media is doing their best to try and add drama and intrigue to this, but I think 80% of Americans see this for what it is: a rash political revenge campaign gone wrong.

00:04:44.000 Liz Cheney is one of the Republicans that sponsored and voted for impeachment in the House of Representatives.

00:04:50.000 She doubled down on that claim over the weekend.

00:04:55.000 But what's really on trial here is not Donald Trump.

00:05:00.000 The Constitution and our justice system is on trial right now.

00:05:07.000 Our norms, the tradition that we have in our country, justice is supposed to be blind. 1.00

00:05:16.000 That's why Lady Justice is blind. 1.00

00:05:19.000 Justice is supposed to be deliberative. 1.00

00:05:22.000 Some people make the comparisons between this impeachment and how the House of Commons works in parliament.

00:05:31.000 The great judge Ken Starr, who is just on our podcast, and I encourage you to check it out.

00:05:35.000 It was a phenomenal interview, said that's exactly why we are not a parliamentary system.

00:05:41.000 We are a constitutional republic.

00:05:45.000 Separation of powers and checks and balances.

00:05:50.000 Democrats will use whatever power they have at their disposal to eliminate those people that are in opposition to them.

00:06:00.000 A truism about life is that all important decisions require reasons.

00:06:08.000 What is the reason the Democrats are doing this?

00:06:10.000 Has any reporter asked that?

00:06:12.000 The New York Times, with this never-ending piece about how the Democrats are now the defenders of the Constitution.

00:06:20.000 Chris Hayes comes out in a piece in either The Atlantic or Vox, I get them confused all the time, saying that the Republicans really are engaging in an assault on democracy.

00:06:32.000 He is no longer the president.

00:06:35.000 Republicans should be standing up even more forcefully against this.

00:06:40.000 They should be submitting motions to acquit and to end this trial, our one.

00:06:48.000 The House Democrat arguments are going to be very predictable.

00:06:51.000 The House Democrat arguments are going to be as follows.

00:06:55.000 I guarantee you this will be something we hear.

00:06:58.000 And I quote: We are now standing in the Senate where the terrorists and the insurrectionists were here because of the president.

00:07:07.000 Guarantee that will be said.

00:07:10.000 The president sent them here.

00:07:13.000 All of these arguments will be made.

00:07:17.000 But the way a trial is supposed to work with a fair judge overseeing it, not a liberal Democrat senator, Patrick Leahy, what state is Leahy from?

00:07:27.000 Vermont?

00:07:28.000 One of the most liberal states in the country goes to show that the Democrats are warning us.

00:07:38.000 Are we going to listen?

00:07:40.000 You see, the Democrats are saying right now, for those of us that are willing to read between the lines, for those of us that see what's actually happening here, the Democrats are saying this is the way the justice system is going to be run if you don't behave.

00:07:56.000 If you don't do what you're told, or if you don't act in the controlled opposition behavioral pattern, this is what's going to happen to you.

00:08:08.000 We're going to run our justice system with judges that are activists, like Patrick Leahy.

00:08:15.000 We're going to run our justice system where we can indict and convict you in less than 24 hours.

00:08:22.000 We're going to run our justice system blaming you for the actions of other people.

00:08:30.000 And of course, the Democrats would never want to be held accountable for the actions that they themselves did, the incitement that they engaged in. 0.96

00:08:39.000 How did Kamala Harris not engage in incitement by bailing out rioters from the Minnesota Freedom Fund?

00:08:47.000 How is that not the subsidizing of incitement? 0.99

00:08:51.000 Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, all engaged in fiery language that could be viewed as incitement.

00:09:00.000 Eric Holder as well.

00:09:03.000 But I'm going to defend them as I'm going to defend President Trump.

00:09:08.000 That's colorful language in politics.

00:09:12.000 Everyone uses it, both sides, and they use it equally.

00:09:16.000 The threshold for incitement is not even close to what was reached.

00:09:20.000 And I hope that Trump's defense team in their opening statement, yes, goes against the constitutional argument, but also says, did you know at 1249 p.m., according to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, people that did not attend the rally started to penetrate the first police barricades.

00:09:41.000 Before Trump said anything, before he even finished his speech, there was already activity against police.

00:09:49.000 If this was just a mob gone wrong, there would not be people with gas masks and walkie-talkies saying that I know the configuration of the building.

00:10:00.000 They wouldn't be changing clothes in the trees, which is what they were doing very suspiciously.

00:10:07.000 And yes, there were elements of people that did storm the Capitol that attended the president's speech.

00:10:14.000 But the question is this.

00:10:16.000 Was it incited by Trump or was it instigated by people that came there looking for a fight?

00:10:22.000 And the honest answer is that it was not incited by President Trump.

00:10:28.000 Incitement in the rule of, when it comes to law, is an incredibly high threshold.

00:10:34.000 Alan Dershowitz talked about this at length on our podcast.

00:10:38.000 The Democrats know this.

00:10:41.000 But they also know another thing.

00:10:42.000 Their donations will go up from their base when they do this.

00:10:46.000 They're going to be able to do amazing amounts of cable television interviews, feeling good, virtue signaling, moral high ground.

00:10:57.000 This is how a republic becomes an empire.

00:11:01.000 It's happened before.

00:11:04.000 The Democrats want to destroy the Constitutional Republic and create the Democrat empire.

00:11:10.000 So Jamie Raskin, who is one of the House impeachment managers, he already started off with a lie.

00:11:15.000 It took him like 10 words.

00:11:18.000 And he said, Donald Trump sent his lawyers here to prevent our arguments from being heard.

00:11:25.000 No, he sent his lawyers there to defend himself.

00:11:28.000 That's what lawyers are supposed to do.

00:11:32.000 Every person is entitled to a defense.

00:11:34.000 It's amazing to me how Democrats, by the way, the Democrats are the lawyers' party.

00:11:40.000 Okay, they are heavily funded by the Lawyers Guild.

00:11:42.000 Many Democrats are lawyers themselves.

00:11:45.000 Not that Republicans aren't.

00:11:46.000 It just happens to be that Democrats tend to be more in the entire kind of legal industry than Republicans.

00:11:53.000 And that's not a perfect fit, but it's generally true.

00:11:59.000 But someone should inform Jamie Raskin that the lawyers are not there to end a trial.

00:12:07.000 They are going to try to do a motion to dismiss.

00:12:09.000 Every good lawyer in the country will try to dismiss a trial before it even begins.

00:12:13.000 Every good lawyer.

00:12:15.000 That's called protecting your client.

00:12:18.000 Now, Jamie Raskin is playing a video.

00:12:22.000 That is incredibly misleading.

00:12:23.000 Now, if there was a fair and impartial judge like John Roberts, I'm not saying John Roberts would be fair and impartial, but at least he'd be a judge, not a Democrat senator from Vermont.

00:12:33.000 This nonsense wouldn't be allowed.

00:12:35.000 It wouldn't be submitted as evidence.

00:12:36.000 It is intentionally submitted for emotional appeal.

00:12:41.000 Someone should tell Congressman Jamie Raskin, as he just said this, but Jamie Raskin should have said, wait a second, the barrier started to get broke at 1249.

00:12:51.000 People came with the intent, and you cannot incite something when people come with the intent.

00:12:57.000 If Jamie Raskin was honest, which he isn't, and I do feel for him for his own personal loss and his own tragedy, I'm not attacking him because of that.

00:13:05.000 However, as soon as you step up to impeach a private citizen, I'm going to have to cross-examine you.

00:13:10.000 I just want to make that very clear.

00:13:13.000 It says here on his video, well, the Trump mob breaches the Capitol.

00:13:16.000 Wait a second.

00:13:17.000 There were people that had no affiliation with Trump that breached the Capitol.

00:13:21.000 There were people there that were oath keepers.

00:13:23.000 There were people that were there that did not necessarily align with any sort of political affiliation.

00:13:27.000 And the way that Jamie Raskin is phrasing this, as we predicted, he's trying to make this overarching argument that every single person that was at the ellipse then went to the Capitol.

00:13:37.000 That is not true.

00:13:38.000 There were hundreds of people on the east side of the Capitol, and Jamie Raskin knows this.

00:13:41.000 He's just being dishonest, that were there before the president even arrived at the ellipse, that were there with walkie-talkies, mace, gear.

00:13:48.000 And how does Jamie Raskin justify the pipe bombs?

00:13:52.000 How does Jamie Raskin explain?

00:13:54.000 Was it a mob that planted the pipe bombs?

00:13:56.000 Of course not.

00:13:58.000 There was pre-planned, deliberate activity to try and attack our government that was outside of the activity from the ellipse.

00:14:09.000 Did some of those people then get involved in it?

00:14:11.000 Yes.

00:14:12.000 That is a separate issue.

00:14:14.000 You had a pre-planned event that authorities did not do what they needed to do to prevent.

00:14:19.000 They did not put up the right barriers, literally.

00:14:23.000 And then President Donald Trump gets blamed for that.

00:14:27.000 We're already starting to see that the argument being put forth by the House impeachment managers is one with no timelines, no nuance, very, very deceiving.

00:14:38.000 But we expected that.

00:14:40.000 My advice to Trump's impeachment team is don't take this bait initially.

00:14:46.000 Argue on the constitutionality of this, then get into the actual details of this.

00:14:51.000 Every person is responsible for their own actions.

00:14:55.000 Incitement is an incredibly difficult legal threshold to prove.

00:15:00.000 You have to prove that that person came there with the intent to then mobilize a crowd to do something specific, and they mention it specifically in the speech they gave.

00:15:12.000 That's the threshold to be able to prove incitement.

00:15:16.000 Alan Dershowitz mentioned this in our podcast interview that we had just a couple days ago.

00:15:24.000 Look, conservatives are getting kicked off social media, and it's not okay.

00:15:28.000 So why exactly are we choosing to give these big tech companies all of our personal data?

00:15:32.000 Now is the time to take a stand.

00:15:34.000 Protect your personal data from big tech with the VPN I trust for my online protection, ExpressVPN.

00:15:39.000 You see, every device, whether you're on your phone, laptop, or TV, has a unique string of numbers called an IP address.

00:15:45.000 When you search for stuff, watch videos, or even click a link, big tech companies can use that IP address to track all your activity and tie it back to you.

00:15:51.000 When I use ExpressVPN, my connection gets rerouted through their secure encrypted servers, so these companies can't see my IP address at all.

00:15:58.000 My internet activity becomes anonymized, and my network data is all encrypted.

00:16:01.000 And the best part is you don't need to be tech savvy at all to use ExpressVPN.

00:16:05.000 Just download the app on your phone or computer, tap one button, and you're protected.

00:16:08.000 Protect your internet activity with the VPN I use every day.

00:16:11.000 Visit expressvpn.com/slash kirk.

00:16:14.000 I love express VPN.

00:16:15.000 All my devices have ExpressVPN.

00:16:17.000 You get a three extra months free on a one-year package.

00:16:29.000 When lies do not go confronted, they get written down, they get spread, they metastasize, and then they become popular opinion.

00:16:37.000 So every time we see something that is untrue, that is worthy of cross-examination, we are going to stand up and we are going to do that.

00:16:45.000 We're going to cross-examine it.

00:16:47.000 So a lot of people ask, they say, what is the true motivation of the left?

00:16:56.000 And we touched on this yesterday.

00:16:59.000 And part of it is Democrats are at war with human nature.

00:17:05.000 They refuse to acknowledge that there is a divine order.

00:17:10.000 The way God made us, He made male and female, He made light and dark, He made gravity.

00:17:16.000 The Democrats always seem as if they are pushing back against the natural order, that we are made in the image of God and there are the laws of nature and nature is God.

00:17:28.000 Democrats and the left, going back to almost a Rousseauian view of human nature, believe that human beings are malleable.

00:17:39.000 Now, let me tell you something: one of the most important questions that people can answer when it comes to politics, when it comes to government, and it comes to philosophy, is: do you believe that people are naturally good or naturally bad or neutral?

00:17:59.000 The answer to that question is incredibly instructive to how you create public policy.

00:18:07.000 So, if you believe that human beings are naturally flawed by their nature, this is something that is articulated in the Bible very clearly: original sin.

00:18:17.000 We are going to screw up and we're going to screw up repeatedly.

00:18:22.000 We are going to lie, steal, and cheat.

00:18:25.000 Then, you are going to believe that it is not government that can then improve the human condition, but instead religion, faith, family, values, and the teaching of goodness.

00:18:39.000 But if you believe that human beings are good in their natural state, something that Jean-Jacques Rousseau believed in, something that Thomas Hobbes did not believe in, something that John Locke was a little bit neutral on, those are the three social contract theorists: Jean-Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Thomas Hobbes.

00:18:57.000 But if you believe people are naturally good, then anything that you see that is bad around you cannot be blamed on the people, but instead blamed on the system.

00:19:06.000 Revolutionize the system around us, give them more benefits, administer more checks, and that will make them better people.

00:19:13.000 Then we can get back to a state of nirvana, a place of utopia.

00:19:17.000 Jean-Jacques Rousseau valued the infant over the adult, the primitive over the civilized.

00:19:26.000 And boy, is that instructive to how the modern left and the Democrats operate?

00:19:32.000 One thing that the Chinese coronavirus and the lockdowns have taught me is that people do not want to be free.

00:19:41.000 They want to be taken care of.

00:19:45.000 The predominant viewpoint of the academic and the political left is safetyism.

00:19:54.000 Take care of me.

00:19:57.000 Just make sure I'm protected.

00:19:58.000 Liberty, liberty's hard.

00:20:01.000 I want to be safe.

00:20:03.000 I want to be nurtured.

00:20:05.000 Human nature is one that tells us that once people have freedom, they're going to complain.

00:20:16.000 The Bible tells us this. 0.97

00:20:18.000 When the Jewish people were freed from Egypt, they were in the desert, they were eating manna, and they started complaining.

00:20:28.000 And you know what they said?

00:20:28.000 They said, bring us back to Egypt because at least we had meat there.

00:20:33.000 They would have rather have been well-fed slaves than free people that had to contest for their own livelihood. 0.52

00:20:40.000 The Chinese coronavirus taught us the exact same thing. 0.87

00:20:44.000 People said, I would rather be locked up in my home, given $1,100 every six months, rather than have to contest and be alert and aware and make my own decisions, but I'd rather have everything shut down because that makes me feel better.

00:21:01.000 People want to be taken care of.

00:21:04.000 And it all comes down to human nature.

00:21:08.000 Now, many Americans believe that human beings are naturally good.

00:21:13.000 Do you know why they're able to believe that?

00:21:16.000 Because America is so decent.

00:21:19.000 Is that we have built a society that is so generous.

00:21:24.000 The expectation is to help other people.

00:21:27.000 That people are then convinced that all human beings are this way.

00:21:31.000 We have a system that incentivizes goodness and rewards goodness.

00:21:37.000 That young people believe that all people can act this way.

00:21:40.000 And they think that America is not the best.

00:21:45.000 They think America is the basement.

00:21:48.000 The more I study about human nature, the more it fascinates me when I drive to the studio every day that it's not a riot and it's not bedlam outside.

00:21:58.000 It's amazing.

00:22:00.000 It's actually incredible that our civil society has been able to hold itself together for as long as it has.

00:22:07.000 And why is that?

00:22:09.000 It's because this society, America, was founded on things that never change.

00:22:17.000 Wisdom is the knowledge of the things that are eternal.

00:22:23.000 Aristotle famously said that there are two forms of intellectual virtue, practical knowledge and eternal knowledge.

00:22:33.000 What's practical knowledge?

00:22:36.000 Where is Cincinnati?

00:22:38.000 What's the capital of Tennessee?

00:22:40.000 That is stuff that can change.

00:22:43.000 I don't know if where Cincinnati can change, but basically things that are circumstantial.

00:22:49.000 What's that guy's name?

00:22:51.000 What'd you have for dinner?

00:22:53.000 Who won the Super Bowl?

00:22:56.000 That's practical knowledge.

00:22:58.000 But the ultimate intellectual virtue that Aristotle taught us was that are things that never change.

00:23:08.000 Who are human beings in the state of nature?

00:23:10.000 Do they want to be free?

00:23:11.000 Is A. How do we develop reason and logic?

00:23:16.000 What are the laws of nature?

00:23:18.000 Where do we get them from?

00:23:19.000 What the left is committed to do and the Democrats alongside of it, and you're seeing this in its impeachment right now, is they're angry that these laws exist and they believe that if they flex enough muscle and they get enough power, then they can create heaven on earth, that a utopia can be ushered in.

00:23:39.000 Now, that's not to say every Democrat believes that, but most of them do.

00:23:44.000 You see, instead of acknowledging that you must have earned success in this country, instead of acknowledging that men and women have biological differences, instead of acknowledging that a nation needs borders, instead of acknowledging that this country is one unlike any other, they think they can do better.

00:24:03.000 It is making me increasingly frustrated when I see Jamie Raskin use the quotes of our founding fathers out of context.

00:24:11.000 But it's Saulinsky's rules for radicals, everybody.

00:24:14.000 You see, I never knew Jamie Raskin would use so many racists to defend his impeachment.

00:24:21.000 Did he just all of a sudden use slave owners to justify his impeachment?

00:24:25.000 Why would Jamie Raskin use James Madison, the father of the Constitution, I believe the fourth president of the United States, that's right, the fourth president, father of the U.S. Constitution, who's called a racist in many schools, and they're trying to now say James Madison should not be named for elementary schools or even James Madison University?

00:24:42.000 Why would Jamie Raskin use a bunch of slave owners?

00:24:44.000 The answer is it's Saolinsky. 1.00

00:24:46.000 Use the enemy's own rules of books against them. 0.64

00:24:50.000 You see, Jamie Raskin thinks he can start to make conservative and Republican senators think about impeachment if you can start to use a bunch of names, faces that matter to us.

00:25:04.000 Jamie Raskin knows his audience.

00:25:06.000 Jamie Raskin's not about to convince a bunch of AOC or Elon Omars or Rashida Talibs.

00:25:11.000 If he was talking to Rashida Talaib or Elon Omar, he would instead be using Jacques Derrida and Michelle Foucault and not the founding fathers of our country.

00:25:23.000 Maybe Angela Davis, maybe Herbert Marcuse.

00:25:27.000 The Democrats don't believe in the very quotes they're using from the founding fathers.

00:25:30.000 They're trying to put the 1619 project into our curriculum every single day.

00:25:34.000 Jamie Raskin was just going through all these quotes from John Quincy Adams, who I believe was our sixth president.

00:25:41.000 That's right, sixth president.

00:25:43.000 Monroe is fifth.

00:25:44.000 Quincy Adams is sixth.

00:25:46.000 One of the smartest presidents, by the way, ever.

00:25:48.000 Highly intellectual.

00:25:50.000 See, we care about that stuff as conservatives.

00:25:52.000 So when all of a sudden you put up a quote of John Quincy Adams, we kind of sit up in our chair.

00:25:56.000 You could probably see Ted Cruz fixing his tie.

00:25:59.000 But does Jamie Raskin actually care about that?

00:26:01.000 Of course he doesn't.

00:26:03.000 They see this as an opportunity to end a political movement that they're actually terrified of.

00:26:10.000 What they are doing right now, what the Democrats are doing in real time, shows us that in their private meetings, in their strategy sessions, they see something in the polling.

00:26:21.000 They see something in the data.

00:26:22.000 They see something in the focus groups. 0.72

00:26:24.000 And they're trying to kill it.

00:26:25.000 And they're trying to label it.

00:26:27.000 And what is the Solinsky Rule 13?

00:26:30.000 Find a target, pick it, polarize it, isolate it.

00:26:32.000 I'm paraphrasing it.

00:26:34.000 Donald Trump represents a set of ideas.

00:26:38.000 Jamie Raskin and this guy right now, Joe Nagusi, I probably mispronounced that, which I'm, I think I'm an expert at mispronunciation, to be honest with you.

00:26:48.000 A set of ideas that they don't like, that they know threaten their power, but they have to find a person that personifies it, and they need to put the nail in the coffin.

00:26:58.000 It's like the old Roman tradition where every soldier got a chance to stab the dead general of the other army.

00:27:06.000 At some point, it becomes exhaustive.

00:27:08.000 Ajen Saki has something to say, so let's hear what that is.

00:27:11.000 Does the president have a message for local school officials on dealing with these kind of disputes that are already starting to rise?

00:27:19.000 Between trans girls who are competing and cis girls and a level playing field, particularly in high school sports when it leads to college scholarships.

00:27:31.000 Is there any kind of messaging or clarification that the White House wants to give on the executive order?

00:27:36.000 I would just say that the president's belief is that trans rights are human rights, and that's why he signed that executive order.

00:27:42.000 And in terms of the determinations by universities and colleges, I would certainly defer to them. 1.00

00:27:47.000 You understand how immoral this is, right? 1.00

00:27:50.000 Trans rights are human rights. 1.00

00:27:53.000 Completely ignoring, you know, what's amazing is that Jen Saki calls herself a feminist. 1.00

00:27:58.000 She's a fraud, is what she is. 1.00

00:28:00.000 How can you be a feminist and care about women's rights? 1.00

00:28:03.000 How can you be a feminist and care about women advancement or achievement and not even want women's sports? 1.00

00:28:10.000 It is the death of women's sports to compete up against a biological male. 1.00

00:28:15.000 So here's the real answer to the problem, is that you allow the men to think they're women and they still compete against the men.

00:28:24.000 It's not that hard.

00:28:26.000 You allow the man to say, I'm a woman now, but you say, you're actually a man, so you're actually competing against the women.

00:28:32.000 And then you will say, you know what?

00:28:33.000 Men's sports can become co-ed.

00:28:36.000 That's the answer. 0.90

00:28:38.000 If you really can compete against men, then so be it. 1.00

00:28:42.000 The problem with this is that it is destroying women's sports as we know it in this country. 1.00

00:28:48.000 Absolutely obliterating it.

00:28:50.000 And it seems that it's intentional.

00:28:51.000 And what is Jen Saki's answer to that?

00:28:53.000 Well, the president believes that trans rights are human rights. 0.99

00:28:56.000 That's a nice bumper sticker.

00:28:58.000 But why don't you go to Greenwich, Connecticut, and tell that to the mother who has a daughter who's been training her whole life to become a track and field champion and now has to go compete against some dude who thinks he's a woman from Hartford?

00:29:11.000 That actually happened in Connecticut, by the way. 0.99

00:29:14.000 Connecticut is a place where the woesters have taken over all the positions of influence. 0.99

00:29:21.000 And you have women that are now forced to compete up against men. 0.98

00:29:26.000 You have women's locker rooms that are now being infiltrated with men just because they say they're women.

00:29:33.000 The Democrats seem completely uninterested.

00:29:40.000 They just don't even care about what the consequences could be.

00:29:47.000 They don't care about what the backlash could possibly be.

00:29:51.000 And maybe that's the unspoken truth of that story we read in the Time magazine article.

00:29:57.000 We are going to govern more radical than ever before because we control how elections are done, how people communicate, and how people are organized.

00:30:10.000 Therefore, we're going to do whatever we want, and you're not going to be able to stop us.

00:30:15.000 What if the Democrats are basically telling us elections don't matter anymore?

00:30:20.000 What if the Democrats are so prideful that they believe that they have fixed the system, that they've interfered with it so significantly that your voice might just be nothing more than a venting mechanism, not an actual system to enforce representative government?

00:30:42.000 Our constitutional republic is based on the idea that we trust how we elect our leaders.

00:30:50.000 If you no longer trust the way that we elect leaders in our country, then do we even have a system of government to represent us?

00:30:57.000 This is why every Republican out there must take a definitive stand of how we do elections in this country, from signature verification to auditing the voter rolls.

00:31:11.000 In Maricopa County, we are putting on a ton of pressure to actually find out what happened with the voting systems here in Arizona.

00:31:18.000 Every state should be doing the same, every single state.

00:31:22.000 And what is the Democrats' big call to action? 0.56

00:31:25.000 Let's go impeach the private citizen. 0.54

00:31:28.000 Not worry about school closures, not worry about opioid deaths, not worry about immigration, where, by the way, the Biden administration has said they are not going to deport illegals that are rapists. 0.68

00:31:41.000 But they will potentially spy on you and infiltrate you if you're a Christian. 0.95

00:31:47.000 Rapist, no deportation. 0.98

00:31:49.000 Christian, you're getting spied on.

00:31:52.000 As the China virus spread across the globe in the spring of 2020, Noble Gold investors flocked to precious metals as a financial safeguard.

00:32:00.000 Gold is up more than 30% since March of 2020.

00:32:03.000 Silver surged more than 50% over the same period, reflecting the correlation among precious metals during the time of financial volatility.

00:32:09.000 But providing financial protection is not the only role that precious metals play in this fight.

00:32:13.000 Precious metals also have broad applications in the medical field that go well beyond the dental uses most people associate with their value.

00:32:20.000 But providing financial protection is not the only role that precious metals play in this fight.

00:32:24.000 Gold and silver nanoparticles are an essential part of virus research and prevention.

00:32:28.000 As the China virus mutates, science will have to adapt its prevention methods accordingly and precious metals will continue to stay in demand.

00:32:35.000 As for me, I will continue to trust the team at Noble Gold, a leading authority in the precious metals industry.

00:32:40.000 If you have the kinds of questions I do about your financial mix and how to best leverage precious metals as a hedge against market uncertainty, I encourage you to visit NobleGoldInvestments.com and call their team for a free gold guide called Noble Gold Today and tell them Charlie Kirk sent you for a special gift with all qualifying transfers.

00:32:59.000 I want to praise Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

00:33:02.000 I have disagreed with him on quite a lot, but this is breaking yesterday and it didn't get as much press as I think it deserved.

00:33:08.000 Texas Governor Abbott working on legislation to prevent social media platforms from canceling conservative speech.

00:33:15.000 Also known as, I'm doing what Ron DeSantis did because it was really popular.

00:33:20.000 However, this sort of movement from Texas is very promising.

00:33:25.000 And Governor Greg Abbott deserves credit for this.

00:33:28.000 In fact, we're going to send out a tweet praising these governors because they need the reinforcement and they need the encouragement that this is the right thing to do.

00:33:37.000 It is the right thing to support these governors that are standing up against this social media tech tyranny.

00:33:44.000 Let's play Senator Kennedy from Louisiana.

00:33:47.000 President Trump, I think it would be fair to say, is unconventional.

00:33:53.000 And he has said things that I've disagreed with, both in substance and the way he said them.

00:33:58.000 But he does have the right to say them.

00:34:01.000 I didn't agree.

00:34:03.000 It wasn't my preferred way of expressing oneself when Senator Schumer on the steps of the Supreme Court threatened Supreme Court justices.

00:34:13.000 I didn't agree with Congresswoman Waters when she threatened appointees of the Trump administration.

00:34:19.000 I don't think they ought to be impeached.

00:34:22.000 And that's the basis of the argument is just because you disagree with how someone might have said something does not mean that they should be impeached.

00:34:30.000 And so now this congressman is overseeing the impeachment proceedings from the House manager position, and he's going to keep on going on and on.

00:34:39.000 Okay, let's get to some questions here.

00:34:41.000 You guys can email us in real time, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:34:45.000 Okay.

00:34:46.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:34:47.000 I'm a 52-year-old grandmother who, for the first time in my life, thanks to President Trump, and great shows like yours have begun following politics.

00:34:54.000 That being said, I'm still somewhat ignorant when it comes to certain topics.

00:34:57.000 That's okay.

00:34:58.000 I heard you say earlier that if you live in a blue state, you should move to a red state.

00:35:01.000 Can you tell me if Georgia is red or blue?

00:35:03.000 Does it automatically make us a red state if our governor is Republican?

00:35:07.000 I live in Walker, Colorado, so moving to Tennessee would be easy.

00:35:10.000 What about Tennessee? 1.00

00:35:10.000 Red? 1.00

00:35:11.000 Yes, Tennessee is red.

00:35:12.000 0% income tax.

00:35:14.000 Georgia, TBD.

00:35:16.000 Two Democrat senators sent their electors to Biden.

00:35:21.000 Georgia's got some problems, no doubt.

00:35:23.000 But great question.

00:35:25.000 And thank you for emailing it in freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:35:28.000 Okay, let's get to a question here.

00:35:31.000 This is a good question.

00:35:33.000 Hey, Charlie, listening to you and enjoy your show.

00:35:35.000 Today you shared that Bitcoin is worth over $46,000.

00:35:38.000 Years ago, someone paid me $10 in Bitcoin.

00:35:41.000 So how do I cash in on this?

00:35:42.000 You have to go find your Bitcoin wallet.

00:35:45.000 If you identify your wallet, that $10 in Bitcoin is probably worth a couple thousand dollars right now, right, Connor?

00:35:50.000 If that math is right?

00:35:52.000 So hope, go find that Bitcoin and go find someone to sell it to.

00:35:57.000 You're sitting on something very, very valuable.

00:36:00.000 Okay, let's get to some more questions here.

00:36:03.000 Hey, Charlie, love your show.

00:36:04.000 I'm a proud sponsor of Turning Point USA.

00:36:06.000 Thank you, Haley.

00:36:07.000 Wanted to share this quote that is so fitting to this impeachment sham.

00:36:12.000 Quote, we must reject the idea that every tie, every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.

00:36:18.000 It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

00:36:22.000 Ronald Reagan.

00:36:24.000 It's well said.

00:36:25.000 Haley from Spokane.

00:36:27.000 Well, good job.

00:36:28.000 Cameron says this.

00:36:29.000 Why do we send our military overseas to fight for freedom, yet give it so up easily in our own country?

00:36:34.000 Great question.

00:36:36.000 That is why we should push back against the foreign wars, the foreign endless wars, and the nonsense that is happening with the permanent military occupation that we have seen with the war industrial complex, basically war incorporated in our country.

00:36:53.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:36:53.000 When you said that a republic becomes an empire, it reminds me of Star Wars at the end of the Revenge of the Sith.

00:36:58.000 Really, the whole prequel trilogy leading up to the emperor took power feels similar to Joe Biden.

00:37:03.000 Well, I wasn't using a Star Wars analogy.

00:37:05.000 I was using a Roman history analogy when famously Julius Caesar transitioned the Roman Republic to become the Roman Empire after the three-headed Roman ruling coalition disintegrated because one guy died and then Julius Caesar declared a civil war against Pompey.

00:37:25.000 And then the Roman Civil War was really began after Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon.

00:37:30.000 They fought, ended up in the Middle East.

00:37:32.000 Julius Caesar actually got Cleopatra involved.

00:37:35.000 Fun fact.

00:37:36.000 Went all the way down to the Nile to what is now Cairo, got Cleopatra involved.

00:37:42.000 And actually, it's actually Alexandria, I think, was the big city back then.

00:37:46.000 Won the Roman Civil War.

00:37:47.000 Julius Caesar comes back.

00:37:50.000 Needless to say, he lived a full life and argued for temporary war powers.

00:37:55.000 There's nothing as permanent as temporary war powers when it comes to a comes to a person in power.

00:38:03.000 Then the Roman Republic became the Roman Empire.

00:38:06.000 You see, how it worked before the Roman Empire is that every Roman council served one year.

00:38:11.000 So Cicero served one year and was a rotating head from the Roman Senate.

00:38:16.000 Cicero, a best-selling author, before he was killed, Cicero famously said, the more laws, the less justice.

00:38:23.000 One of the guys that really was one of the chief architects of Western civilization as we know it.

00:38:28.000 If you don't know who Cicero is, I encourage you to read his writings.

00:38:30.000 They're pretty incredible.

00:38:31.000 And so then Julius Caesar lived and was killed by the Roman Senate, obviously dramatized in the Shakespearean play, Julius Caesar.

00:38:42.000 After Julius Caesar died, I think it was a couple.

00:38:44.000 It was either Caesar Augustus or Augustus himself.

00:38:47.000 But Julius Caesar was right before the times of Christ.

00:38:50.000 And I think that Caesar Augustus was the Caesar when Jesus walked the earth.

00:38:55.000 Anyway, then there was just a succession of bloodline, and it became almost a pseudo-feudal system. 0.57

00:39:03.000 Eventually, you had a bunch of nonsense.

00:39:06.000 Caesar Augustus, and then you had one more, and then Nero, who was a total disaster, one of the worst emperors ever.

00:39:11.000 Then you had the five good emperors.

00:39:13.000 The last of the five good emperors, which is known as what?

00:39:15.000 The Pax Romana, which means the peaceful times of Rome.

00:39:19.000 The last of the five good emperors was Marcus Aurelius.

00:39:23.000 And then what's the one thing that good emperors always have? 0.97

00:39:27.000 Crazy sons. 0.95

00:39:28.000 And so then you had Commodus, fell apart. 0.97

00:39:31.000 A bunch of Roman emperors, I can't remember.

00:39:33.000 The Eastern Roman Empire was founded, which was known as Byzantium.

00:39:37.000 Constantine, of course, King Constantine, geez, named it after himself, Constantinople, which ended up being the center of all Christian, Eastern Orthodox, Christian tradition, while then Rome took more of the Catholic tradition.

00:39:49.000 And then I think that was like in 321.

00:39:51.000 Anyway, that's enough history for today.

00:39:53.000 Okay, thanks, Kyle.

00:39:55.000 Okay, let's see here.

00:39:57.000 Peter says, Hey, Charlie, do you have any updates from the Maricopa County, Arizona audit?

00:40:02.000 That's why you should tune in to the Charlie Kirk show tomorrow because we have Congressman Paul Gosar coming in.

00:40:10.000 Let's go here to why is the hearing deciding the constitutionality of the impeachment allowed to proceed with the prosecution as their opening statement?

00:40:18.000 I don't know, but that's not unusual.

00:40:21.000 Typically, in a court of law, the prosecutor, I could be wrong here, but usually they have to kind of basically say who kind of called us to this meeting.

00:40:29.000 It is the prosecution that usually starts.

00:40:31.000 Is that right, Connor?

00:40:32.000 I think that's right.

00:40:34.000 Or otherwise, the defense is going to say, What am I defending here?

00:40:36.000 Why are we here?

00:40:37.000 So it's kind of the tell us why you called this meeting to order type thing to kind of use an illustration.

00:40:44.000 So someone says, So, what if the worst actually happens and they impeach Trump?

00:40:47.000 Well, it would be a convicting Trump.

00:40:49.000 He's technically already impeached, but I know what you mean.

00:40:51.000 So, what does it mean?

00:40:52.000 What would happen to him since he's not president right now?

00:40:55.000 Would he then be able to be criminally prosecuted?

00:40:57.000 Probably, but just so we're clear, this entire thing is going to get tied up in the Supreme Court win or lose.

00:41:03.000 Trump is going to sue this thing, and he wants to get a full acquittal of the entire process because you can't impeach a private citizen, and the chief justice is not even here.

00:41:12.000 And so, even if they were to find him guilty, the entire process is probably going to get tied up in the Supreme Court very, very soon.

00:41:19.000 Good question, though.

00:41:21.000 Someone says here, Dear Charlie, I love your show every day.

00:41:25.000 You're the next generation's Rush Limbaugh for sure.

00:41:27.000 Well, that is a high bar, but thank you for the kind words.

00:41:32.000 Thanks so much for all you do. 0.78

00:41:33.000 Almost two years ago, our family moved from the somewhat annoyingly Democrat state of Pennsylvania to the ridiculous state of California.

00:41:40.000 Anyway, yesterday you mentioned the stimulus bill about being one-third of bailout for Democrat states like me.

00:41:44.000 Please enlighten us how the states are actually going to use this money.

00:41:47.000 The way I see it, the most hurt people financially are everyday folks.

00:41:51.000 You're right.

00:41:51.000 The paycheck to paycheck people who have lost their jobs or fear they will soon.

00:41:55.000 You're right.

00:41:56.000 Tell us how the California government is hurting us so much, or is this bailout just going to rebuild the cities they let burn?

00:42:02.000 The government doesn't need to spend any more money of our tax dollars at dinners, at French laundry, or freezers full of luxurious ice cream.

00:42:08.000 I like this person.

00:42:10.000 As much as it's sad, the Los Angeles was allowed to burn like that.

00:42:14.000 I'm not sure it's right to make the whole country pay.

00:42:17.000 What will Newsom do with that money?

00:42:18.000 Basically, they're going to bail out pension funds.

00:42:20.000 That's the biggest thing.

00:42:21.000 They're going to bail out structural deficits from these cities and states, which is mostly pensions to retired teachers and retired government employees.

00:42:29.000 That's where the money is going.

00:42:30.000 It's not going anywhere else.

00:42:32.000 It's not going to help out working people.

00:42:33.000 It's not going to help people that are living paycheck to paycheck.

00:42:37.000 It's going to bail out pensioners and people that are in basically people that receive government handouts.

00:42:45.000 That's who it's going to bail out.

00:42:46.000 Thank you, Becky, for your question.

00:42:48.000 I'm going to give away some books, by the way.

00:42:50.000 If I take your question, you subscribe to the Charlie Kirk show and email us in your subscription, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:42:56.000 Here's a question.

00:42:57.000 Hey, Charlie, did you watch the Mike Lindell docuseries that he released?

00:43:00.000 If so, what are your thoughts?

00:43:01.000 I said this in my podcast and I received a lot of hate mail, but I didn't say anything negative.

00:43:06.000 I just said I didn't watch the whole thing.

00:43:08.000 So I plan on finishing it and I will tell you my thoughts.

00:43:11.000 So don't send me hateful emails.

00:43:13.000 I mean, you can't.

00:43:14.000 I don't care.

00:43:15.000 I mean, it's not that big of a deal.

00:43:16.000 We're not immune to criticism here.

00:43:17.000 In fact, sometimes criticism has helped us actually improve our program, but I don't like unwarranted criticism.

00:43:23.000 So I watched the first 45 minutes.

00:43:25.000 People say that the last 45 minutes are the best.

00:43:28.000 So I'm going to check that out.

00:43:29.000 Thank you, Giovanni.

00:43:30.000 It's a great.

00:43:31.000 So, you know what's amazing to think?

00:43:34.000 When was the last time we talked about Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and all these guys that spied on the president?

00:43:39.000 That's what they should be doing an impeachment over or just an entire congressional inquiry.

00:43:45.000 But they get away with it.

00:43:48.000 Here's one.

00:43:49.000 Hey, Charlie, we are in southern Illinois.

00:43:51.000 I have an eighth grader.

00:43:52.000 We are demanding our representatives oppose this legislation.

00:43:54.000 What are they talking about?

00:43:56.000 What we're talking about is the radical indoctrination curriculum that is being passed through Illinois right now.

00:44:02.000 We have spoken out definitively against this.

00:44:04.000 George Will has a great piece.

00:44:06.000 I can't believe I say this.

00:44:07.000 Actually, I think this was probably published somewhere else besides the Marshall News Messenger.

00:44:12.000 That's my guess.

00:44:13.000 My guess is that it was syndicated.

00:44:16.000 But George Will writes here, and again, he became so vehemently anti-Trump.

00:44:23.000 I used to love George Will.

00:44:24.000 George Will was so thoughtful.

00:44:25.000 He was so smart.

00:44:27.000 He had a great approach to things.

00:44:28.000 And then he just went off the reservation with Trump.

00:44:30.000 Anyway, he has a great article here.

00:44:33.000 And I quote, in Illinois, indoctrination could replace education.

00:44:36.000 Just so you guys know, our program here was the first program to warn against this Illinois indoctrination education.

00:44:42.000 We were the first one, and it went viral.

00:44:44.000 I think that Instagram video has well over a million views, right?

00:44:47.000 It's huge.

00:44:49.000 He writes, quote, the worst governed state, Illinois, had tripled the population loss of the state with the second highest out migration between 2010 and 2020.

00:44:57.000 It's contemplating another incentive for people leaving the state or for flight.

00:45:01.000 On February 16th, a joint committee of the state legislature will decide whether to turn into a legal requirement the State Board of Education recommendation that until a slight rewording would mandate that all public teachers, quote, embrace and encourage progressive viewpoints and perspectives.

00:45:19.000 If the board's education and policy is ratified, Illinois will become a place congenial only for parents who are comfortable consigning their children to education that is political indoctrination, audaciously announced and comprehensively enforced.

00:45:31.000 If anyone is watching this in Illinois, please email us right now, freedomatcharlikirk.com.

00:45:36.000 First of all, I love hearing from you guys here, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:45:42.000 So thank you.

00:45:43.000 Jolene corrected me.

00:45:45.000 Tiberius was emperor when our Lord and Savior was crucified.

00:45:49.000 Huh, I stand corrected.

00:45:50.000 I thought it was Caesar Augustus was around that time period.

00:45:53.000 Maybe there was a layover, but thank you for correcting me, Jolene.

00:45:57.000 I appreciate that.

00:45:58.000 But yes, in Illinois, if you're there, you guys have to get involved in this.

00:46:01.000 On your school board, contact your legislatures.

00:46:03.000 This is going to change the state of Illinois permanently, and there will be no going back.

00:46:08.000 William says, hi, Charlie.

00:46:09.000 How come we don't have a million patriots at Arizona and D.C. to fight this fight?

00:46:14.000 And so, look, I want to tell you, we are pushing.

00:46:17.000 We are pressuring.

00:46:17.000 We have Gosar coming on.

00:46:19.000 We are on top of this to find out what happened in Arizona.

00:46:22.000 Hey, Charlie, I've subscribed to your show and listened daily.

00:46:25.000 And my kids know that when the baby goes down for a nap, it's time for Charlie Kirk.

00:46:29.000 Thank you, Abigail.

00:46:30.000 You're so kind.

00:46:30.000 I'm wondering how the impeachment trial is even allowed to continue if the Chief Justice isn't attending.

00:46:35.000 Looking forward to hear your answer.

00:46:36.000 Abigail, you're exactly right.

00:46:37.000 This entire impeachment trial is a sham.

00:46:41.000 It's illegitimate from the start.

00:46:42.000 This is not an impeachment trial.

00:46:44.000 This is just the Senate calling something that is not an impeachment trial an impeachment trial.

00:46:49.000 This is a show trial.

00:46:51.000 And tomorrow, I'm going to go into a deep and detailed history of what a Soviet show trial actually is.

00:46:58.000 Where do we get that term from?

00:47:00.000 What does it mean?

00:47:01.000 A show trial is something that is very real and ruined millions of people's lives.

00:47:06.000 So thank you, Abigail, for that.

00:47:08.000 Let's go to a question here.

00:47:10.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:47:11.000 I'm speaking to our school board meeting tonight in North Carolina.

00:47:14.000 Awesome.

00:47:15.000 That's what every patriot should do.

00:47:17.000 We are still very much closed while schools within miles around us are open.

00:47:21.000 What would you say to them?

00:47:22.000 My seventh grader has stepped into the school building three times in almost a year.

00:47:25.000 The isolation is crushing.

00:47:26.000 Thank you for being a bright light.

00:47:28.000 Well, first of all, I want to encourage you, Ashley.

00:47:32.000 And every person should be going to their school board meetings.

00:47:35.000 Number two, I would say this, as calmly as possible, say exactly that.

00:47:39.000 My seventh grader is being crushed by isolation.

00:47:42.000 We know the way this virus operates.

00:47:44.000 Please let my kid back in school.

00:47:45.000 And then I would make this argument.

00:47:47.000 I am a shareholder in this local school.

00:47:50.000 I'm a shareholder.

00:47:52.000 I'm a taxpayer.

00:47:54.000 You work for me.

00:47:56.000 And it's about time that we open our schools fully.

00:47:59.000 We understand how this virus operates.

00:48:02.000 And it is unfair and immoral to subject an entire generation of children to a virus that will statistically not kill them at any greater risk than driving to school or other activities if they're in seventh grade.

00:48:18.000 So Ashley, I want to encourage you.

00:48:20.000 I want to thank you for going and doing that.

00:48:23.000 We need more Americans to step up and go to their school board meetings.

00:48:27.000 So tell me how it goes, Ashley.

00:48:29.000 I'm very, very curious.

00:48:31.000 Hey, Charlie, enjoy listening to your coverage daily.

00:48:33.000 Thank you.

00:48:34.000 I'm halfway through 1984 after you and Isabel recommended it over and over.

00:48:38.000 How much Big Brother raps history is terrifying, but we're seeing it today.

00:48:41.000 I encourage everyone to go read 1984.

00:48:44.000 Anyway, here's my question.

00:48:45.000 Can you clarify the vote that Senator Ram Paul was talking about last week?

00:48:49.000 What was the vote that the Senate did where Senator Ram Paul said the impeachment was down on a rival?

00:48:53.000 It's a great question.

00:48:53.000 Thank you, Taylor.

00:48:54.000 What Senator Ram Paul was saying and what he did was a vote that basically asked the entire Senate, do you think this is constitutional?

00:49:03.000 Now, the vote, 55 said yes, 45 said no.

00:49:06.000 But basically, it was a preview that 45 senators are going to vote in favor of acquittal because they believe that this impeachment is unconstitutional in nature.

00:49:17.000 So that's the answer to that question.

00:49:19.000 Quincy says, thank you so much for being a strong voice for all of us.

00:49:22.000 I come to you for level-headed sound facts.

00:49:24.000 You and your team are awesome.

00:49:25.000 I listen every day.

00:49:26.000 Thank you, Quincy.

00:49:27.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:49:27.000 I'm from Illinois.

00:49:28.000 I contacted my legislatures and none of them called or emailed me back.

00:49:31.000 This should not be allowed.

00:49:32.000 My small business in Illinois has been hit so hard.

00:49:35.000 I'm the only one left in my family that lives in Illinois and do not have the ability to move at this point.

00:49:40.000 What can I do to make change when I've been told my business will be attacked and shut down?

00:49:44.000 Look, you have to just keep fighting for your business.

00:49:46.000 I'm so sorry to hear that.

00:49:48.000 I would just keep contacting these legislatures and come up with a plan and try to leave Illinois.

00:49:53.000 I left Illinois.

00:49:54.000 I want to believe in the greatness of Illinois, but it comes to a point where you're paying 6% property tax on commercial.

00:49:59.000 You're paying 3% on residential.

00:50:01.000 Your schools are closed.

00:50:02.000 5% income tax, 10% sales tax, anti-gun measures, anti-Christian, pro-progressive indoctrination education measures.

00:50:11.000 The whole state is locked down.

00:50:12.000 They just legalized weed.

00:50:13.000 You just got to say timeout.

00:50:15.000 And I feel for you, but do what you can because there are states that are wide open and they're robust right now, like Florida, thanks to the great governor, Ron DeSantis.

00:50:24.000 Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:50:26.000 Illinois, mom.

00:50:27.000 Hey, Charlie, thanks for being such a great source of information.

00:50:29.000 I'm a homeschool mom in Illinois, and the radical legislation being pushed for teachers is incredibly scary.

00:50:35.000 I've been pushing back on it both with my voice to our leaders and on social media.

00:50:38.000 The next thing coming down the line is legislation for sex ed starting in kindergarten and teaching gender theory in first and third grade.

00:50:44.000 Illinois needs to fight now or never. 0.98

00:50:45.000 All the best, Hannah. 1.00

00:50:47.000 I completely agree.

00:50:48.000 They are taking the California model and they're implementing it into the once great state of Illinois.

00:50:53.000 Hi, Charles.

00:50:54.000 If they pass the brainwashing legislation in Illinois, we're moving out as soon as my oldest is 18.

00:51:00.000 Three more years here will be awful because my youngest are five or six, but we'll do our best to teach them the right way at home, Sarah.

00:51:05.000 You're exactly right.

00:51:07.000 If they pass this, you should not fund this government under any sort of moral conscious that you have.

00:51:14.000 It is absolutely terrible.

00:51:16.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:51:17.000 I heard on the podcast the other day, thank you for listening to our podcast, that either way this impeachment goes, it will end up in the court one side or the other.

00:51:23.000 Can you please explain what you meant by that?

00:51:25.000 Yes, thank you, Dylan.

00:51:27.000 What I meant is that the constitutionality of this will be challenged in court, regardless of all the slideshows they're showing and all this stuff.

00:51:35.000 The constitutionality of this will be actually challenged in court.

00:51:39.000 Whether or not this process should be allowed to be happening at all, is it constitutional?

00:51:47.000 And I don't think it will be.

00:51:49.000 Let's go to Joshua.

00:51:50.000 Hi, Charlie.

00:51:51.000 I'm in Illinois watching this stream.

00:51:52.000 I'm in high school.

00:51:53.000 It's already very far left.

00:51:54.000 I got forced to change my icon from Trump.

00:51:58.000 Illinois has flipped in such a very scary and dangerous way.

00:52:05.000 If this podcast that we do means something to you guys, do me a favor.
