00:00:47.000Finally, please consider becoming a supporter of the Charlie Kirk Show for our monthly supporters.
00:00:52.000We are going to be doing a monthly Zoom call starting next week.
00:01:39.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:15.000The left wants to destroy America more than we want to preserve America.
00:03:21.000We are not fighting even close to enough.
00:03:24.000Now, I've been inspired by so many of your emails at freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com of how many of you are standing for truth in your own life.
00:03:33.000And I've said that problems that are not confronted multiply, and you have a moral prerogative to stand for truth, to stand up against lies, to stand up against falsehoods all across the country.
00:04:02.000When you're really under the threat of tyranny, you typically don't have to ask the question, what do I do?
00:04:10.000So there's only one of two answers then.
00:04:13.000You don't actually think what is happening is tyrannical and you think it's instead uncomfortable, or you are so paralyzed by fear, you truly don't know what to do.
00:04:24.000And if you truly don't know what to do, that's fine.
00:04:28.000But I think deep down on a very instinctive level, you know that you can speak louder, you could organize an event, you get your friends involved, all those sorts of things.
00:04:40.000I look at the anti-lockdown rallies across the country.
00:04:46.000They are barely a drop in the bucket of the rebellion that is needed against the authoritarians in both parties.
00:04:54.000Recently, our idea of rallying for a cause or for something that is good is basically: let's go buy Goya beans at the supermarket while wearing a mask and waiting in line six feet away from each other.
00:05:06.000Look, I love Goya beans, but that's not going to save our country.
00:05:11.000Okay, I encourage all of you to go buy Goya beans.
00:05:13.000They said nice things about our president.
00:05:21.000We felt like we were losing our country.
00:05:23.000People organically popped up in every single corner of America.
00:05:29.000Now, maybe the left is capitalizing on the fear of the virus and the lockdowns to go for the jugular and go for the complete and total destruction of America at this moment.
00:05:41.000But we do know that the Marxists and the collectivists and the liberal fascists, they have directed billions of dollars in the last few weeks of corporate funds via the extortion of BLM Inc. to all their affiliates.
00:06:08.000Not to mention the billions and billions of dollars that has been pledged towards racial equality from JPMorgan Chase to Goldman Sachs to Bank of America to Facebook.
00:06:20.000The biggest companies in America, they have been extorted towards a common purpose of racial disunity in our country.
00:06:29.000Have conservatives stepped up our giving?
00:06:31.000Have we made it clear that our country will not be taken from us?
00:06:36.000We have covered at length how weak the Republican Party is.
00:06:39.000I'm not going to get into that at length on this episode.
00:06:43.000But instead of fighting, our side seems content to wait out this chapter in American history as if it's a bad thunderstorm that needs to pass, as if they're just trying to wait for cover and eventually they're going to get the all clear and they can go back to their lives.
00:06:59.000The Republican Party and most of the leadership of the Republican Party, the ruling class of the GOP, they want what is best for their country club interests, for their kids to go to some Ivy League college or some corporate deal that they made a promise for, and they are inherently adverse from fighting.
00:07:20.000The left, they are willing to do anything, get arrested, topple statues, spend all their resources, form new countries.
00:07:28.000Now, I'm not supportive of those kind of revolutionary tactics, but I am puzzled by them because the radicals, BLM Inc. and the like, they're fighting based solely on revenge, bitterness, misery, and quite honestly, darkness.
00:07:48.000We are fighting for what is beautiful, what is good, what is true.
00:07:52.000And so many conservatives and Republican lawmakers, they say, well, I'm afraid to put everything on the line because I want to lose re-election.
00:07:59.000There are worse things than losing re-election, like losing your country.
00:08:04.000I've spent intimate time with some of these Republican senators, and I can tell you right now, our country is not in good hands under their leadership.
00:08:17.000We have Senator Ted Cruz as our sister episode today.
00:08:20.000Most of the people that you put in leadership in the Republican Party have no backbone, no spine, and no idea what they are doing.
00:08:30.000They lack clear instructions of how to actually operate, and many of them would much rather have their prestigious title and a destroyed country than a vibrant country and just be a typical middle-class normal citizen.
00:08:49.000Many individuals say that we are in the midst of a civil war.
00:08:53.000I've even used this terminology before, and I want to correct myself.
00:08:57.000When I thought about this more analytically, and when I went into this deeper, I realized that civil wars are actually fought between two sides who have differing views of what it means to be part of the same nation.
00:09:13.000We are actually in a revolutionary war.
00:09:16.000You see, revolutions are fought when one group seeks to erase a nation and start a new one.
00:09:22.000Civil wars are fought when you have two different factions, or three different factions, fighting over to claim a nation they all acknowledge.
00:09:32.000The current movement to tear down statues, remove names, eliminate symbols is not about trying to erase the past.
00:09:42.000That is actually empirically proven to be impossible unless you're in some sort of science fiction movie where you can go back in time and erase things that happened previously.
00:09:51.000This is a movement that is designed to alter the future.
00:09:56.000Without points of reference, you can't destroy history, but you can wipe out knowledge of the historical timeline and pathway.
00:10:04.000The question of how far have we come can only be answered by knowing where did we start.
00:10:12.000The question of where are we can only be meaningfully answered in relation to knowing where we have been combined with the knowledge of where we are going.
00:10:23.000You see, the current revolution in our country seeks to replace the factual journey of America with a created journey of America.
00:10:34.000You see, history is now going from the nonfiction section to the fiction section of most universities, not literally, but more metaphorically, because the history they are going to teach our children is completely fictitious.
00:10:48.000This means that the revolutionaries are trying to erase the ability of future generations to understand the truth where we started and where we have been.
00:10:59.000They will replace facts with contrivance, eliminating the accurate references to history after the perceptions of cause and effect.
00:11:08.000It also eliminates any evidence of history's trajectory.
00:11:12.000In that sense, the revolutionaries are able to set any destinations they choose as being the properly desired one, and they can create and embellish history as they wish to prove that we are on that path.
00:11:27.000You see, the most common criticism of our beautiful country starts with its basic founding and the fact that in 1776 and then in 1788, slavery was permitted in certain states, but not all states, and that women were disenfranchised.
00:11:41.000You see, these defects of that moment have long since been fixed, which is not at all ever mentioned by the radical left.
00:11:49.000Remember, America has made mistakes, but America is not a mistake.
00:12:01.000America was the only nation to date that was ever deliberately invented.
00:12:07.000There's been other nations since, but in 1776, it was the first nation that was ever created, that was ever founded with intention, not by accident.
00:12:19.000You see, a group of very intelligent people, they read all of the political theory for the past 2,000 years, and they invented this beautiful nation that we're living in.
00:12:29.000No different than the invention of the telephone, the television, the light bulb, the combustible engine, or any other invention, the versions of those inventions today far surpass their original version.
00:12:42.000By the way, so does the Constitution, the greatest political document ever written in the history of the world, in particular with regard to its full embrace of all human rights.
00:12:54.000If the past 220 years of history have shown steady, sometimes interrupted, non-linear, but unequivocal forward progress, which by the way is always in line with the laws of nature, of nature's God, why would we possibly be ashamed of any of the people and steps that happened along the path?
00:13:15.000What exactly then is the point of tearing down of history?
00:13:20.000Since you cannot change it, it must be to hide the knowledge of it.
00:14:11.000If they can eliminate curiosity about America and its founding, if they can replace the truth with their own created narrative, then they can easily alter the future.
00:14:23.000You see, in 1951, Hannah Ardent wrote, quote, the ideal subject to totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or convinced communist, but the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.
00:14:44.000This is the effort underway in our country by the revolutionaries.
00:14:49.000By eliminating history, they will remove the distinctions between fact and fiction, between what is true and what is false.
00:14:59.000They can then replace them with their own contrivances.
00:15:04.000They then can define and alter the future.
00:15:10.000There really is no attack on our history.
00:15:16.000This is actually an attack on our future.
00:15:20.000And this is exactly why Karl Marx, the author of Communism, thanked the French revolutionaries and Jean-Jacques Rousseau for wiping away the vestiges of the past.
00:15:32.000You see, this is an attack on our future.
00:15:38.000What does happen in that future hangs in the balance and will largely be determined by those of us who know our history and preserve the knowledge of that history?
00:16:09.000A new app called Thinker, T-H-I-N-K-R, no-E, has solved that problem by summarizing the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:16:23.000Read or listen to hundreds of titles in matters of minutes, including old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, the recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
00:16:35.000If you want to challenge your preconceptions, expand your horizons, and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org slash Charlie.
00:16:43.000That's T-H-I-N-K-R dot org slash Charlie to start an extended free trial and put your mind in motion.
00:17:14.000And speaking of speech, the radicals and the left and the activist media, at times they lie to you.
00:17:23.000But more generally and more lately, they aren't lying to you.
00:17:28.000And they aren't telling you the truth.
00:17:31.000They're committing something called doublethink.
00:17:36.000This is a fundamental and distinct difference.
00:17:40.000You see, doublethink was a phrase that was coined and created by George Orwell.
00:17:46.000George Orwell was a British author, wrote the most famous dystopian book, 1984, that accurately predicted the surveillance state, that accurately predicted a lot of what we are living through today.
00:18:03.000George Orwell thought he was a socialist and ended up coining the phrase, socialism is much more about hating the rich than helping the poor.
00:18:14.000George Orwell was a true free speech liberal.
00:18:18.000If you read 1984, it will send a chill down your spine of how we are living through 1984 right now.
00:19:44.000Or doublethink or double speak, which is more commonly known, is the language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words.
00:19:58.000Double speak may take the form of euphemisms, such as downsizing for layoffs or servicing the target for bombing, in which case it is primarily meant to make the truth sound more palatable.
00:20:12.000It may also refer to the intentional ambiguity in language or to actual inversions of meaning.
00:20:19.000In such cases, doublespeak disguises the nature of truth.
00:20:25.000You see, as a Christian, this is why they call the devil the father of all lies, and Christ is the word and the truth and the life.
00:20:35.000In the book 1984, Orwell explicitly shows people learning doublethink and what is called new speak due to peer pressure and desire to fit in or gain status within the party to be seen as a loyal party member.
00:20:52.000Sound familiar for all those of you that have been forced to post your black squares in social media?
00:20:58.000How is that any different than what Orwell warned us about in 1984?
00:21:04.000In the book, for someone to even recognize, let alone mention any contradiction within the context of the party and the party line is akin to a form of blasphemy and could subject that person to disciplinary action and the instant social disapproval of fellow party members.
00:21:24.000If you dare disagree with the left or the new religion of secular leftism, with one of their sacred doctrines of, say, abortion, climate change, gun control, anti-capitalism, or anti-Americanism, or that America is completely and totally the worst country ever to exist, they will sanction you.
00:21:45.000I'll never forget visiting the University of Florida.
00:21:47.000There was one girl that I kid you not yelled at the top of her lungs for 45 minutes straight.
00:21:55.000We get emails all the time at freedom at charliekirk.com of people that are kicked out of social clubs, kicked out of jobs, kicked out of their profession, lose close acquaintances, lose family members, all because they do not fit perfectly into the left-wing orthodoxy.
00:22:11.000This is a huge difference between conservatives and leftists.
00:22:16.000You see, we as conservatives, we admit that somewhere across the country, someone right now does not think the way that we think.
00:22:28.000We understand that there's going to be differences of opinions.
00:22:31.000We accept that there is a complexity to the process of finding societal truth.
00:22:40.000The left does not accept this, though.
00:22:42.000There is someone right now in probably a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, New York, or in their mother's basement in Santa Barbara, California, that is looking up at their ceiling, wondering why oh why Charlie Kirk thinks there's only two genders.
00:23:01.000And they're making it their life mission to shut me up or to shut somebody up because I just won't get on their specific propaganda line when it comes to bathroom policy.
00:23:13.000And you can see this is partly why the left is so relentlessly miserable.
00:23:19.000They say they're for tolerance, but in reality, they are the least tolerant people in the world.
00:23:26.000In fact, they can't even see a world where people might dare be able to exist in difference of opinion with them.
00:23:34.000Do you ever notice how leftists are the ones that shout and scream and throw tantrums and conservatives are almost never those people?
00:23:43.000It's because conservatives respect the individual and leftists are hive-minded collectivists.
00:23:51.000And even more fundamental than this, the First Amendment is where the left begins their disagreement.
00:23:57.000To be able to have freedom of thought, dialogue, and consciousness, to think what you wish, to speak as you see fit.
00:24:06.000This is something the left is trying to go after as their primary target.
00:24:11.000Because as soon as you can get people to stop feeling comfortable to say that BLM Inc. is a domestic terror organization, then all of a sudden they have won without ever actually having to get rid of the First Amendment.
00:24:24.000When you are not able to say that all lives matter or that white privilege is a racist idea, then all of a sudden they have won without ever having to get rid of the First Amendment.
00:24:35.000And they do this through almost a social credit system.
00:24:39.000You see, a lot of the BLM Inc. activists have adopted a Chinese Communist Party social credit score system almost, where people are judged based on their social media posts in the last couple weeks.
00:24:51.000Have you properly atoned for your whiteness?
00:24:54.000Have you properly propagandized your followers around the BLM Inc. nonsense?
00:24:59.000You see a lot of other athletes that are popping up that are saying, a lot of you that posted black squares are now posting positive things on July 4th.
00:25:08.000You're no longer part of our movement.
00:25:11.000It's actually incredibly puritanical, if you think about it.
00:25:14.000I mean, the left is more puritanical than the right ever could be.
00:25:18.000And what is so incredibly ironic about this is that the stereotype of the activists in Malibu and Manhattan about the conservatives in Arkansas or Iowa or Montana is that we, the conservatives in Middle America, were the ones that are intolerant.
00:25:36.000And it actually is the exact opposite.
00:25:37.000It's actually that people in Middle America are kind of indifferent about what other people think.
00:25:41.000They're not the ones trying to stuff down their specific piece of dogmatic orthodoxy and silence other opinion.
00:25:49.000This is a cultish fervor that the left embraces.
00:25:54.000Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a cult as one, a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious.
00:26:02.000Or, number two, a great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work, such as a film or book.
00:26:12.000Now, mind you, this is the left and this is the goal of the left.
00:26:16.000They have replaced the place of God in society.
00:26:19.000As soon as you remove God from any sort of society, it does not remove human beings' desire to worship.
00:26:29.000It does not remove human beings' focus on something that is all-powerful or almighty.
00:26:37.000Human beings are actually designed to worship something.
00:26:41.000This is why I have so much fundamental and philosophical disagreements with the atheist movement.
00:26:47.000Not just because they're patently wrong, but I think it's incredibly societally dangerous.
00:26:53.000Now, it is natural for human beings to worship God, but if you do not have small G God in its proper place, then government will become God.
00:27:08.000I rarely use these sorts of examples, but Joseph Goebbels was the Nazi propaganda minister.
00:27:17.000He said, quote, if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.
00:27:21.000And you will even come to believe it yourself.
00:27:26.000This is exactly why Don Lemon went from a decent-minded reporter to a far-left-wing Marxist activist who happens to occupy an hour of cable television on CNN.
00:27:38.000Because I actually think Don Lemon has started to believe the propaganda that was being put on his teleprompter.
00:27:45.000And this is what we see from the Democrats and the Marxists when it comes to systemic oppression.
00:27:51.000They repeat it so many times, it becomes true or safe to culturally assume it.
00:27:58.000You see, if BLM Inc. was stopped in 2014, none of this would have happened today.
00:28:05.000Instead, the NFL initially rejected kneeling because they said, well, we're probably a center-right country, and BLM wasn't as organized through corporate extortion tactics.
00:28:45.000But they repeat the facts ad nauseum, and eventually we believe it.
00:28:50.000And so when we go and say that America is the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world, and then a leftist comes up and says, no, you're a racist.
00:29:05.000It's not even fair to call that a lie.
00:29:07.000It is sinister, pointed, strategic propaganda to throw you so off your game, it creates a new normal that will fundamentally destroy everything that we love.
00:29:29.000And it's a total reversal of the issue.
00:29:32.000So now let's connect this idea to the silent majority.
00:29:36.000Nixon first brought up the silent majority idea in 1968.
00:29:41.000And President Trump is invoking this idea again now.
00:29:44.000And honestly, he needs the silent majority to win in 2020.
00:29:48.000But the Democrats are engaging in doublespeak.
00:29:52.000And it's still out of step with the silent majority.
00:29:55.000Take, for example, the New York Times fired an editor for running Senator Tom Cotton's op-ed calling for the use of troops, if necessary, to quell violent riots.
00:30:03.000Which, by the way, a majority of the country, 64%, according to ABC News and an IPSIS poll, disagreed at the left's call to defund the police.
00:30:13.000And 72% in that poll believed that violent protests were not an appropriate response to the killing of George Floyd, with that statement, including 58% that strongly agreed.
00:30:22.000But what's incredibly striking about these polls is not that 64% disagree with defunding the police.
00:30:34.000The question for the silent majority is this.
00:30:37.000If we remain silent, how much longer will the majority be on the side of common sense, on the side of truth, on the side of law and order, on the side of civilization and the Constitution?
00:30:50.000You see, this brings up a point that is a logical fallacy, in my opinion.
00:30:55.000One of the most far-reaching falsehoods that has seeped its way into Republican leadership.
00:31:02.000They think things will always go back to common sense and normal.
00:31:06.000You see, these are very, let's just say, simple-minded people.
00:31:15.000A lot of these Republican senators, they don't understand Soviet history.
00:31:20.000A lot of them do not understand the threat that we are fighting against.
00:31:23.000Quite honestly, many of them are megalomaniacs and narcissists that just want the title senator so they can feel good about themselves because they never would have been able to accomplish success anywhere except the narcissistic ritual of running for office.
00:31:38.000And so, because of that, they indulge themselves in this idea that things will go back to the common sense, things will go back to how things used to be.
00:31:50.000There's no evidence that things work in pendulums at all.
00:31:56.000In fact, instead, there's more evidence things operate as Friedrich Hayek called it, the road to serfdom.
00:33:30.000We cannot give into the cult of the left and their doublespeak.
00:33:34.000We've talked about the Overton window, where things go from unacceptable to public policy, and it's gone way too quick, so fast and so dramatic in recent weeks.
00:33:44.000If we're betting on the silent majority, I'm afraid one of those words may no longer be true.
00:33:58.000And that silent minority might be correct, but if it remains silent, I'm afraid it will no longer be a majority.
00:34:06.000If it goes from the vocal majority, then we can still have a country.
00:34:11.000I'm sure there's someone listening to this right now where you got in a conversation the last few weeks and you knew you were right and you stayed silent because you were afraid of losing a job, a position, a title, a position in class, or maybe some income.
00:34:27.000You might have made the right decision.
00:34:51.000I don't do this very often, but I want you to check out the Jordan Harbinger show.
00:34:56.000You can go to jordanharbinger.com/slash subscribe.

00:35:41.000So search for the Jordan Harbinger Show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify wherever you listen to podcasts.
00:36:21.000And what's so interesting about the vocal left, and I came to this conclusion while I was studying Calvinism, and let me be very clear on this.
00:36:31.000And we're actually about to do an episode with my friend Rob McCoy, and you'll hear from that episode sometime soon, where I'm going to actually ask him about Calvinism because I've been reading a lot about Calvinism.
00:36:40.000And I spent some time with some Calvinists a few weeks ago.
00:36:44.000And I've come to the conclusion I'm not a Calvinist.
00:36:47.000At least at the recording of this podcast, I could be persuaded.
00:36:51.000I think it's less important of Calvinist, not Calvinist.
00:36:59.000But anyway, as I was reading Calvinism, and if you don't know what Calvinism is, began with the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland with Huldrych Zweivingl.
00:37:08.000Originally taught what first became the first version of Reform doctrine in Zurich in 1519.
00:37:13.000Of course, John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion was one of the most influential theologies of the Reformation era.
00:37:19.000Now, Calvinism, of course, centers around a belief in predestination and the idea of an elect.
00:37:25.000Now, the elect are those who are predestined to ascend to heaven, and they were chosen arbitrarily by God to have salvation.
00:37:31.000Now, mind you, I was reading this, I said, that sounds like how the left views themselves.
00:37:38.000They have such an unmatched sense of righteousness, and they believe fully that their ideas are holy and true, and anyone who dares oppose them are sinful and can no longer exist at their level.
00:38:54.000We are complying with these ridiculous, unconstitutional mask orders, including all of our elected officials.
00:39:00.000And the president's fought back against it as much as possible, despite the science on masks being very questionable at best.
00:39:06.000And even some of these homemade masks have no medical utility at all.
00:39:11.000And a lot of the time when I see these people wearing these homemade handkerchief masks, the only thing that tells me is you're willing to do whatever you are told, that you are willing to be a subject of authoritarianism.
00:39:22.000We are allowing our churches to be closed down again.
00:39:24.000We're allowing our business to be closed down again.
00:39:26.000We're allowing our country to be spit on, to be shamed, to be destroyed from within.
00:39:33.000It's a republic if you can keep it and if you can fight for it.
