00:01:21.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:28.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:46.000I'm leading the show with this because I see it happening in real time.
00:01:50.000Houston area officials are, quote, getting close to reimposing more stay-at-home orders and are prepared to reopen COVID-19 hospital-established measures.
00:02:00.000Arizona has ordered its hospitals to activate emergency plans.
00:02:04.000So let's just, a little, just in case you forgot, a week ago, there were half a million people in the streets basically next to each other, not wearing masks, rioting, protesting, and mourning George Floyd.
00:02:14.000Now all of a sudden, they want us to get locked in again after they've started a pseudo-race war in our country over something we weren't divided over, and they want to lock you back down again.
00:02:22.000I'm telling you right now, this is not going to stand with me.
00:02:25.000I will do everything I possibly can to make sure that the country does not lock down again.
00:02:30.000And by the way, the media encouraged the lockdowns.
00:02:32.0001,200 health officials encouraged the lockdown, saying that white supremacy is a bigger threat than the virus.
00:02:38.000I'm telling you, if you're listening to this, you better demand that your Republican officials make the clearest and most definitive stand against lockdowns.
00:06:06.000So now, people who the media want you to believe are just protesters have moved in and created what's called a Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
00:07:57.000Now, just breaking, President Trump said, quote, if there were more toughness, you wouldn't have the kind of devastation that you have in Minneapolis and in Seattle.
00:08:03.000I mean, let's see what's going on in Seattle.
00:08:05.000I'll tell you, if they don't straighten this out really quick, we're going to straight it out.
00:08:09.000Mr. President, bring in the troops right now.
00:08:13.000The head of the state, Jay Inslee, who's entrusted with the state, the safety of the constituents, was not even aware.
00:08:19.000So what are the listed demands by the terrorists, by the Antifa terrorists?
00:09:51.000I visited Zuccotti Park when I was a junior in high school, and I walked around there and I talked to people.
00:09:57.000I learned more about the American left.
00:10:00.000Spending five hours as a high schooler in New York City, my dad went out to some meeting and I walked around Zuccotti Park as a conservative talking to the left, sitting down with the left.
00:10:36.000In fact, in Dallas, a convicted sexual predator was let into an occupied commune and reportedly raped an underage runaway.
00:10:43.000And now, as expected, history has repeated itself.
00:10:46.000It's being reported that a warlord has emerged in the chaz.
00:10:51.000Quote, Raz Simone, a local rapper with an AK-47 slung from his shoulder and a pistol attached to his hip, screamed, this is war, into a white and red megaphone and instructed armed paramilitaries to guard the barricades and shifts.
00:11:04.000Simone was later filmed allegedly assaulting multiple protesters who disobeyed his orders.
00:11:11.000By the way, the media is not recording any of this.
00:11:14.000If you go to NewYorkTimes.com, if you go to The Washington Post, it is a media blackout at how the left has taken over the streets of Seattle.
00:11:23.000And they just call it, it's just a protest.
00:13:43.000I want you to reflect back in time to the Bundy standoff.
00:13:46.000For 20 years, Nevada rancher Clivin Bundy defied the federal government by letting his cattle graze on federal lands without paying the proper fees.
00:13:54.000So in spring of 2014, the government sent armed agents to confiscate the cattle.
00:13:59.000But hundreds of protesters, some of whom were armed, assembled in support of Bundy.
00:14:04.000This led Harry Reid to call the ranchers domestic terrorists.
00:14:08.000Some of the news articles by the New York Times were domestic terrorists tried to burn down the country.
00:14:14.000Same way that they tried to message Waco or Ruby Ridge.
00:14:21.000The Obama administration sent in armed officials and officers, private contractors to end the standoff.
00:14:28.000The situation eventually ended and thankfully diffused out any fatalities.
00:14:32.000But Bundy and 18 others were arrested and charged with felonies.
00:14:36.000Those on the right are treated by Democrats in office with tanks and guns in overwhelming force.
00:14:44.000So why do we stand for anarchy in our streets?
00:14:47.000And yet, Republicans have done next to nothing.
00:14:51.000The left wants to create a new America.0.83
00:14:55.000Literally is what they're doing in Seattle.
00:14:57.000And they're doing that by destroying our history.

00:15:58.000So there's a ton of news on statues and monuments.
00:16:02.000And really, this is just another example of cancel culture.
00:16:06.000Statues are coming down across the country.
00:16:09.000There's even a conflict growing in Washington, D.C., as Democrats push to remove Confederate statues still in the Capitol, as well as to rename military bases named after Confederate soldiers.
00:16:51.000Senator Ted Cruz made this comparison on Twitter, sharing a video of a statue of Christopher Columbus being taken down in St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:17:03.000Elon Omar, the ingrate, who hates her country, is not thankful for being in America, and ingrate means someone who does not have gratitude for being in America.
00:17:12.000She replied, quote, this was organized and led by indigenous people.
00:17:15.000Columbus literally started a genocide against them.
00:17:18.000What a sick thing to say about those taking down monuments to their own oppression.
00:17:22.000Senator Ted Cruz replied, No, he didn't commit genocide, literally or otherwise.
00:17:27.000He did discover the new world, which led to colonizers, some of whom inadvertently brought disease, the senator continued.
00:17:34.000Is your position that it's inherently immoral to come to America from a foreign land?
00:17:41.000This is a brilliant slight by Senator Ted Cruz.
00:17:43.000In fact, I like spicy social media, Senator Ted Cruz.
00:17:46.000I think that Ted Cruz needs to do more of this because basically he's implying by what he said, is it your position that it's inherently immoral to come to America from a foreign land?
00:17:54.000It's a phenomenal linguistic attack against Elon Omar, that actually saying it.
00:18:04.000We are now taking history lessons from the most ungrateful member of Congress and a refugee from a failed state in Africa where they have total anarchy.
00:18:14.000Sound like something that's happening here?
00:18:17.000Christopher Columbus has long been demonized because he represents the imperialist raping and pillaging of white Europeans.
00:18:26.000These statues were largely placed across America by Italian Americans who used to struggle against bias against Italians.
00:18:35.000These were built as symbols of pride for famous Italians and his place in the American experience.
00:18:48.000Christopher Columbus, I understand the dialogue has been going on for a number of years.
00:18:53.000The Christopher Columbus statue represents, in some ways, the Italian-American legacy in this country and the Italian-American contribution in this country.
00:19:07.000I understand the feelings about Christopher Columbus and some of his acts, which nobody would support.
00:19:14.000But the statue has come to represent and signify appreciation for the Italian-American contribution to New York.
00:19:29.000Now, instead of wanting to be more included in the American story, our newest members of the American community, like Elon Omar, want to burn it down and destroy how our nation came to be.
00:19:43.000If you understand the left, you know the history of the cultural revolution.
00:19:48.000The Cultural Revolution was pushed forward in China by the Chinese Communist Party by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society to basically reimpose Mao Zedong thought, known outside of China as Maoism, which was the dominant philosophy in the Chinese Communist Party.
00:20:11.000Now, the more I read about the Cultural Revolution, the more I read about how the CCP went on an aggressive campaign throughout China to destroy history, the more I regret not speaking out against our international globalist trade policies with China.
00:20:29.000We never should have made them richer.
00:20:31.000We never should have even thought for a second that the more capital flows we had into China, the more they would, quote, westernize.
00:20:39.000And so this is nothing new from the left.
00:21:24.000Even statues and monuments celebrating individuals whose accomplishments should stand the test of time, people you think the far left would herald for their work as maybe abolitionists or fighting fascism are still getting defaced.
00:21:52.000A total American hero, Senator Tom Cotton, who we're having back on the Charlie Kirk show next week, went off on these vandals, defacing our historical moments.
00:22:02.000Listen to the senator take these vandals basically to history class from the floor of the Senate.
00:23:39.000The statue of Matthias Baldwin was defaced.
00:23:42.000Matthias Baldwin was a committed and devoted abolitionist who funded education for freed African Americans, who gave them jobs, and they defaced his statue.
00:23:58.000Even more amazing, in Boston, the Shaw Memorial was defaced.
00:24:04.000The Shaw Memorial honors the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, the first African American regiment formed after the Emancipation Proclamation.
00:24:16.000Whose bravery and valor in battle on behalf of the Union cause was memorialized in the movie Glory.
00:24:26.000I wish there were more courageous leaders like Senator Tom Cotton.
00:24:30.000Senator Tom Cotton is one of the only U.S. senators that, when I speak to him, he responds quickly, he communicates clearly, and he acknowledges the same sense of unease that I have that the direction of America is currently going on.
00:24:44.000Many senators I communicate with dodge my communication.
00:24:49.000They are more interested in establishment politics.
00:24:51.000They're more interested in keeping the Chamber of Commerce happy or the Chinese Communist Party to not call them out.
00:25:00.000Senator Tom Cotton is a true American hero.
00:25:02.000I don't actually agree with Senator Tom Cotton on every single issue.
00:25:07.000In fact, on international intervention, Senator Tom Cotton and I do not see eye to eye.
00:25:13.000He wanted military retaliation against Iran back in January.
00:25:17.000But despite some specific policy differences that Senator Tom Cotton and I might have, I will take a Senator Tom Cotton in an instant over someone I agree with 100% who remains silent and then does not stand up against the mob.
00:25:31.000We need people like Senator Tom Cotton, who you might not agree with on every single issue, but boy, do I agree with him on everything he's been doing recently, to be able to be clear, pro-America, and pro-Western.
00:25:44.000These times require true leadership by people who love America.
00:25:59.000Quote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday night that she requested the joint committee on the library to remove a dozen figures of Confederate statues that are located in several areas of the Capitol.
00:26:09.000The committee is made up of five Republicans and five Democrats and is currently chaired by Republican Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri.
00:26:16.000Blunt said in a statement Thursday night that the law did not permit the committee to remove the statues.
00:26:20.000Only the states that commissioned them have the authority to take them out of the building.
00:27:15.000It was probably written by some 26-year-old social justice warrior activist that just went to some elite institution that has all the latest buzzwords that have been approved by the highly educated, I should say, over-educated ingrates that run American colleges, monuments to men who advocated cruelty and barbarism to achieve such a plainly racist end or a grotesque affront to these ideals.
00:27:39.000And look, Nancy Pelosi is trying to try to make it seem as if an entire part of American history does not exist.
00:27:46.000Senator Mitch McConnell said on Thursday that the decision whether or not to remove Confederate statues from the United States Capitol should be left up to the states.
00:27:52.000House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has echoed this perspective, saying the state should decide.
00:27:56.000Can we just take some stands on something, please?
00:28:17.000And the quicker you stand up to them, the quicker that you pick the cultural fight, the less likely they are going to get their actual desired objective.
00:28:25.000You have to build the cultural war now.
00:28:56.000I encouraged donors to donate to him, and it came at a great amount of backlash and political pressure under myself.
00:29:03.000But Florida Republican Ron DeSantis requested the architect of the U.S. Capitol replace a statue of Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, and we relent to the left.
00:29:12.000I don't agree with Ron DeSantis on this as respectfully as I possibly can.
00:29:18.000If the House moves to pass these bills, they'll possibly and probably pass the Republican support because the way the flow goes, the way the narrative goes, is the left has an agenda.
00:29:30.000They have an agenda in their drawer, and they're going to push the Republicans until we agree with it.
00:29:38.000Now, the reason why things have been different in the Trump era, the reasons why we have so many wins, embassy in Jerusalem, Iran deal gone, rebuilding the wall.
00:29:46.000We had the best economy in American history.
00:29:49.000All these amazing wins, Gorsuch Kavanaugh, 300 circuit court judges, is because Trump made the left play defense.
00:29:56.000So why is the House, why are our Republican politicians saying, no, let's right now demand the renaming of the bitter racist Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Library?
00:30:06.000Right here, right now, we are not going to celebrate or tolerate Lyndon Baines Johnson.
00:30:10.000We are not going to tolerate or celebrate Planned Parenthood, which was founded by a eugenicist.
00:30:15.000All references to Margaret Sanger must be removed.
00:30:18.000All of a sudden, this entire conversation would conveniently disappear.
00:30:21.000Why don't we rename the Bill and Hillary Clinton airport in Arkansas, of which Bill Clinton is now under even more serious allegations of his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein?
00:30:30.000We accept their premise and we surrender.
00:31:22.000They are going to cancel the beautiful history of Abraham Lincoln because they have contempt for the entire and the totality of the history of America.
00:31:30.000The only history they like of America is the brutal and awful parts of the history of America that confirm liberal welfare state or massive government programs or funding of some sort of ridiculous planned parentage scheme.
00:31:41.000McCarthy, who I consider a huge friend, but he previously joined Republicans and Democrats in 2016 for the House vote to ban the display of Confederate monuments at a veterans administration facility and cemetery.
00:31:53.000Also in 2016, the Republican-led House removed a state flag display at a Capitol Hallway because the Mississippi flag includes a Confederate symbol.
00:32:01.000So again, if you give an inch to the left, they will always take a mile.
00:32:07.000U.S. military bases cancel culture and gone with the wind.
00:32:11.000All of these recent protests, and yes, riots and looting, not just peaceful protesting, are always worth reminding you.
00:32:19.000They have ignited the waves to rename the U.S. Army bases honoring military figures of the Civil War South.
00:32:28.000Now, we're going to get into the actual truth around the American Civil War.
00:32:33.000And was it really as the left depicts it?
00:32:37.000Because it's a lot more complicated about it.
00:32:39.000Yes, slavery was a issue of the Civil War, but it was not the only issue.
00:32:44.000And some historians argue it was not even the predominant issue.
00:32:49.000Take a second to think about the private information you have on your computer and mobile devices, your pictures, videos, financial information, work files, personal documents, information that cyber criminals are constantly trying to get their hands on.
00:33:02.000What are you doing to keep that from happening?
00:33:04.000You need protection, and PC Matic is doing it right.
00:33:07.000Instead of only blocking programs on a blacklist of known cyber threats like traditional antivirus software, PC Matic protects your internet connected devices by blocking any application that isn't on its whitelist of known trusted programs.
00:33:21.000And they're the only antivirus company that does its development, research, and customer support 100% in the United States.
00:33:46.000Keep the bad guys out and your personal information secure with PCMatic.
00:33:52.000So here are the 10 bases that are in question.
00:33:55.000All of them are located in southern states that were once part of the Confederacy.
00:34:01.000Camp Beauregard in Louisiana, Fort Benning in Georgia, Fort App Hill in Virginia, Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Lee, named after Robert E. Lee, of course, in Virginia, Fort Pickett in Virginia, Fort Polk in Louisiana, Fort Rucker in Alabama, Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and Fort Gordon in Georgia.
00:34:23.000Now, President Trump rightly said he will not even consider renaming the bases.
00:34:27.000This should what the entire Republican Party position should be.
00:34:30.000Now, again, I am not the biggest advocate in the world around defending the Confederacy.
00:34:43.000It's not about anything more than the left trying to destroy the history of America.
00:34:50.000Now, mind you, a lot of these camps or a lot of these forts in the southern part of the country are revered by people that have been trained there for so long.
00:35:01.000This is the intentional poking in the eye of Southern America.
00:35:11.000Now, I have so much respect for the United States military.
00:35:16.000And did you know that almost 44% of all the military comes from six southern states?
00:35:25.000This is according to the United States Military Department of Defense information.
00:35:31.000So when the ruling class wants to go fight their trigger-happy wars overseas, when they want to go invade a country that is halfway around the world, it's not disproportionately people from Malibu or Manhattan stepping up.
00:35:48.000It is the Southerners that the left has contempt for.
00:35:52.000So it's the Southerners that go fight the wars of the ruling class.
00:36:12.000And mind you, I say this as someone from the suburbs of Chicago.
00:36:16.000And I've said this once and I'll say it again.
00:36:18.000From a young age, I was taught explicitly and implicitly that Southerners are dumb.
00:36:25.000When I say this to someone who grew up in the South, they don't believe me.
00:36:29.000When I said this to Graham Allen, I said, I was taught to think you are stupid because of the way you talk.
00:36:36.000In fact, if you are above the Mason-Dixon line or north of the Mason-Dixon line, when you want to say something as if it's a pejorative or it is less than intelligent, a lot of the jokes that are made in suburban America that are, by the way, are considered still politically correct, are if you say it in a southern accent with a southern draw, if you will.
00:37:02.000People say, well, don't speak improperly if you speak with that southern accent.
00:37:20.000Now, who is leading the charge on this right now?1.00
00:37:23.000It is Pocahontas, the fake Native American Elizabeth Warren, who always rails on us about white privilege, even though she lied about her Native American heritage to get ahead.
00:37:34.000So Senator Elizabeth Warren proposed within the National Defense Authorization Act to rename posts and assets, streets, aircraft, ships, and other equipment, either named for Confederate officers that honor the Confederacy within three years.
00:37:49.000Not only this, she also tucked away in her amendment a call to literally destroy any Confederate grave and monument inside the Arlington National Cemetery, all federal military and graveyards.
00:38:00.000Desecration of graves is now a Democrat Party platform.
00:38:07.000Seriously failed presidential candidate, Senator Elizabeth Warren, just introduced an amendment on renaming many of our legendary military bases from which we trained to win two world wars.0.97
00:38:17.000Hopefully our great Republican senators won't fall for this.
00:38:20.000Despite Trump's opposition, a Republican-led Senate committee approved an amendment.
00:38:24.000So the Pentagon will work to rename the bases within three years.
00:38:28.000So look, you know where they're really going with this?
00:38:30.000They want to take down the Washington Monument.
00:38:32.000They want to take down the Lincoln Memorial.
00:38:33.000They want to take away, they want to take down any monument or memorial named after someone who committed a sin.
00:38:39.000So they want to take down every single monument memorial.
00:38:42.000History is something to learn from, to appreciate, to understand, to reflect on.
00:38:47.000By the way, you know what monument they're not taking down?
00:38:50.000You know what monument they're not going after?
00:38:52.000The statue of Vladimir Lenin in downtown Seattle.
00:38:56.000Did you know that in the United States of America, there is a statue of Vladimir Lenin, the Marxist revolutionary murderous maniac who started the Russian Revolution.
00:39:25.000But Senator Mike Rounds from South Dakota said while he agreed that U.S. history should not be forgotten, he said the bases shouldn't be named for those who fought against our country.
00:40:58.000Kaylee McEnany defiantly stated that these bases are known by the heroes that inhabit them, play tape.
00:41:04.000He goes on to say, We do not live in a country to which Braxton Bragg, Henry L. Bang, or Robert E. Lee can serve as an inspiration.
00:41:11.000What does the White House say to that particular form?
00:41:14.000Fort Bragg is known for the heroes within it that trained there, that deployed from there.
00:41:19.000And it's an insult to say to the men and women who left there the last thing they saw on American soil before going overseas and in some cases losing their lives to tell them that what they left was inherently a racist institution because of a name.
00:41:34.000That's unacceptable to the president and rightfully so.
00:41:37.000And I would also note: where do you draw the line here?
00:41:40.000I'm told that no longer can you find on HBO Gone with the Wind because somehow that is now offensive.
00:43:17.000For you Senate Republicans out there, for you weak-kneed establishment Republicans that love your crony donors, that love your retreats in the mountains in the summer to be able to talk about how you have deindustrialized our entire country, who don't take a stand on anything, but you told us to go give you power.
00:43:41.000This is a fight that now matters, where kids are getting kicked out of school, where kids are losing their jobs because they support the president, because they support the Bible, and you are nowhere to be seen.
00:43:51.000Instead, you guys are giving these ridiculous talking points that probably could have been written by Alexandria Casio-Cortez.
00:43:58.000What is different than what you are effectively saying than Elon Omar?
00:44:02.000You might as well go join the other party.
00:44:04.000I would rather fight with 40 good senators than 54 bad ones.
00:44:08.000I'm so sick and tired of having to defend these people.
00:44:10.000I'm sick and tired of having to defend the people on the Republican side that placate, that overly pander to people that bitterly hate our country.
00:44:33.000This is something that the left knows that if they are able to take down the history of Texas, take down the history of Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, they are able to take down everything.
00:44:44.000Oh, why not take down the Jefferson Memorial because he owns slaves?
00:44:47.000Why not take down the Washington Monument?
00:45:39.000And now, with Gone with the Wind being canceled, it makes you wonder what other movies are on the chopping block.
00:45:44.000They're going to probably get rid of To Kill a Mockingbird.
00:45:46.000They're probably going to get rid of every other...
00:45:49.000They already got rid of Tom Sawyer, right?
00:45:50.000They got rid of all the great books of Huckleberry Finn.
00:45:54.000They've already canceled the Bible because there's slavery in the Bible, despite the Bible denouncing slavery and having liberation from sin.
00:46:01.000Did you know that Adjusted for Inflation, Gone with the Wind, is the highest ever grossing movie of all time?
00:46:07.000It also starred the first ever black woman to win an Oscar, Hattie McDaniel.
00:46:14.000All that matters to them is kowtowing and placating to the radical left.
00:46:20.000This move comes less than two days after filmmaker John Ridley argued in a Los Angeles opinion piece that the 1939 film not only ignored the horrors of slavery, but also perpetuated some of the most painful stereotypes of people of color.
00:48:20.000They are going and deleting all pieces of intellectual material that do not harmonize with their sinister, backwards worldview.
00:48:27.000Censorship, plain and simple, no matter how they dress it up, is being anti-racist or coming to grips with systemic racism of white privilege they weren't aware of.
00:48:36.000This is a brazen attempt to destabilize the country from within.
00:48:40.000They want to divide and conquer on postmodern terms.
00:48:43.000For power, they pit people against each other.
00:48:46.000Go back in the archives of the Charlie Kirk show and listen to the KGB episode.
00:48:54.000Now, mind you, Marx made victimhood the origin and the engine of the proletarian revolution.
00:49:01.000Marx said that history and all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles, end quote.
00:49:08.000But for Marx, as we've often said on the show, he was inspired by the French Revolution philosopher Rousseau.
00:49:14.000Marx stole his best stuff from Rousseau, who stole his best stuff from Plato, who worked to overturn anything that affirmed the work of civilizing institutions.
00:49:24.000He knew that the French Revolution needed to destroy what had come before to make way for the revolution.
00:50:10.000So look, I want to leave you with some hope.
00:50:12.000For those of you that have faith in Jesus Christ like I do, I'm going to read you a caption from the letter sent to the President Trump by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.
00:50:21.000Now before I do, I want to say if I didn't believe in God, I would not be able to make sense of what's happening right now.
00:50:26.000I can't imagine not believing in a higher power when I see all this.
00:50:31.000The president recently shared this message publicly, and I'm glad he did.
00:50:35.000Here's what it said towards the end of the note.
00:50:38.000I believe that the attack to which you were subjected is part of the orchestrated media narrative, which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order, but to aggravate dispositions, not to bring justice, but to legitimize violence and crime, not to serve the truth, but to favor one political faction.
00:50:55.000The American people are mature and have now understood how much the mainstream media does not want to spread truth, but seeks to silence and distort it, spreading the lie that is useful for the purposes of their masters.
00:51:07.000However, it is important that the good, who are the majority, wake up from their sluggishness and do not accept being deceived by a minority of dishonest people with unavowable purposes.
00:51:19.000It is necessary that the good, the children of light, come together and make their voices heard.
00:51:25.000What more effective way is there to do this, Mr. President, than by prayer, asking the Lord to protect you, the United States and all of humanity from this enormous attack on the enemy.
00:51:35.000Before the power of prayer, the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse, their plots will be revealed, their betrayal will be shown, their frightening power will end in nothing, brought to light and exposed for what it is.
00:52:04.000Those of us in the culture war right now, not in the halls of Congress, I'm telling you right now, it is the worst we have ever experienced.
